Toyota Mirai Launching In California This October

If you’re a trailblazer ready to purchase a Toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle, you’d better live in California, because that’s where they’re initially launching the vehicle.

Eight California Toyota dealers were chosen to serve potential Mirai customers: Northern California dealers include San Francisco Toyota, Roseville Toyota, Stevens Creek Toyota and Toyota of Sunnyvale. Southern California dealers include Longo Toyota, Toyota Santa Monica, Toyota of Orange and Tustin Toyota. These initial dealerships were selected based on advanced technology vehicle sales experience and proximity to hydrogen infrastructure.

The Mirai will officially roll into these dealerships in October, but beginning this summer, California customers can request a Mirai by visiting www.toyota.com/mirai. Production of the Mirai is limited, and vehicles will be placed with select, eligible customers. Therefore, drivers are encouraged to make their requests early to save a potential parking spot in transportation history.

Mirai U.S. sales volume is planned for approximately 3,000 units through 2017.
