A better safety system improves the Mirai’s driver assistance tech, but little else has changed for 2024
January 25, 2024 at 12:00
If it ain’t broke (or all that popular), don’t fix it seems to be Toyota’s attitude to the hydrogen-powered Mirai. For 2024, the sedan returns with new badging, more standard safety tech, and a bit of a price bump.
The biggest change is likely probably the standard Toyota Safety Sense 3.0. It comes with pre-collision and pedestrian detection that are designed to apply the brakes if the car determines that a crash is imminent. It also comes with lane departure warning with steering assist. More appealing to buyers will likely be the full-speed range dynamic cruise control and the lane tracing assist, which allow the car to handle some of the chores of driving.
Elsewhere, the updates are purely aesthetic. For instance, the Elemental Silver exterior paint color is now available across both grades. All models will be equipped with Toyota’s new Beyond Zero blue circle badge, which can also be found on its electric and hybrid vehicles.
