What reviewers say
Reviewers agree the second-generation Mirai is comfortable, quiet and relaxing to drive, and a big improvement on the original. Both criticise tight rear space and a small boot for such a large car, and What Car? found it expensive; Autocar found the performance modest and the infotainment behind BMW's and Mercedes' systems.
