The VISION EQXX gets a hearty energy snack around midday in the Po Valley near Milan - not at the charging station, but via its permanently installed solar roof. The 117 solar cells feed the 12-volt battery, which supplies power to auxiliary consumers such as the navigation system. The added value is measurable: The high-voltage battery is relieved accordingly, which can be read on the display of the on-board computer. Overall, the solar booster increases the range by more than two percent - which adds up to a good 25 kilometers for a driving distance of over 1,000 kilometers.

2021 Toyota Mirai Interior Design in Black Silver

17 February 2021 102 Views

Beauty, technology and a hint of the future come together in Toyota’s new flagship sedan, the all-new 2021 Mirai. Toyota has fully rebooted the Mirai as a premium rear-wheel drive sports-luxury FCEV with striking design, cutting-edge technology, more engaging driving performance and a significantly longer EPA-estimated range rating. The model name, which means future in Japanese, is wholly appropriate, as the 2021 Mirai is powered by the latest evolution of the brand’s advanced fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) powertrain. The body is lower, longer, and wider, with its bolder stance accentuated by standard 19-inch alloy wheels. A more powerful fuel cell system provides a more engaging driving experience than its pioneering forerunner. The rear-wheel drive layout and four-wheel independent suspension deliver a true sports-luxury sedan driving feel, with greater handling agility than before, yet also with a more comfortable ride.
