The Toyota Mirai has received a subtle refresh, although the changes might not immediately catch your eye from the exterior. This update primarily revolves around technological enhancements.
One notable improvement lies in the advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). The package now offers expanded capabilities, enabling the Mirai to provide more assistance to the driver at lower speeds.
For instance, it can now apply brakes if the vehicle gets too close to parked objects. The braking response has been refined for smoother operation when releasing the throttle.
Toyota claims that the steering adjustments have been optimized for improved handling through bends. Furthermore, the cameras and sensors have been updated, enhancing the accuracy of existing assistance systems. Notably, both the blind spot monitor and panoramic view monitor are now standard features.
But there’s more news for enthusiasts of hydrogen cars. The Toyota Mirai also boasts an updated Smart Connect+ infotainment system showcased on a spacious 12.3-inch screen. If you prefer hands-free operation, you’ll appreciate the addition of ‘Hey Toyota’ voice activation.
Toyota assures that this feature is adept at understanding commands even while you’re enjoying music. Speaking of which, the Mirai now delivers audio through a premium JBL sound system with fourteen speakers.
Connectivity options have also been enhanced, with five USB-C connections now standard. Users can easily access Android Auto and Apple CarPlay on the infotainment screen.
Moreover, a convenient new feature allows the Mirai to park itself via a smartphone app, eliminating the need for manual parking, even when you’re not in the vehicle.
