What platform is the Toyota Mirai?

The Toyota Mirai is built on the Toyota Global Architecture-L (GA-L) platform. This platform is also used for the larger Lexus LS sedan. The second-generation Mirai, which was announced in October 2019, is based on this rear-wheel drive platform. The GA-L platform allows for improved system packaging and a more spacious, five-seat cabin. It also enables the addition of an extra hydrogen fuel tank, contributing to a 30% increase in the car’s driving range to around 650 km. The new Mirai is significantly longer, wider, and lower than the first-generation model. It features a completely redesigned fuel cell system, with significant reductions in the size and weight of all principal components. The Mirai’s fuel cell electric powertrain is installed on the GA-L vehicle platform, achieving an ideal 50:50 chassis balance. The second-generation Mirai was released in 2020.
