USCar Trader import service
Choose a specific vehicle. Where data is available, its detail page shows the import cost calculation. We assess any possible duty benefit with you before purchase.
Important: A 0% EU import-duty rate may be available for a vehicle covered by Regulation (EU) 2026/1455 that has US origin and is imported directly into the EU. CETA may apply to a vehicle with preferential Canadian origin. Whether the requirements are met is assessed for the individual case. Please contact us before purchase; we review the possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support through the process. Import VAT and other costs are assessed separately.

The Toyota Mirai is one of the few hydrogen fuel-cell passenger cars ever sold at scale, and the United States — chiefly California — is the largest single market for used examples.

Model profile
The first-generation Mirai (2014–2020) was a front-wheel-drive four-door sedan on a bespoke platform, instantly recognisable for its polarising, heavily sculpted styling. The second-generation Mirai (2021 onward) was a complete reinvention: it moved to Toyota's TNGA-L rear-wheel-drive platform, shared with the Lexus LS and Toyota Crown, giving it a long bonnet, elegant proportions and a genuinely premium cabin.
Powertrain and equipment
The Mirai has no combustion engine. Instead, a polymer-electrolyte fuel-cell stack combines stored hydrogen with oxygen to generate electricity, which drives an electric motor; the only tailpipe output is water vapour. The first generation produced around 152 hp and drove the front wheels.
The Mirai is offered only as a four-door sedan. On the second generation, US trims are broadly XLE and the better-equipped Limited, the latter adding features such as a panoramic roof, upgraded JBL audio, heated and ventilated seats and advanced driver assistance.
Vehicle selection
Almost all US Mirais live in California, where hydrogen stations are concentrated.
The Mirai suits an early-adopter, an engineer, a collector of alternative-drivetrain milestones, or a buyer with reliable access to a hydrogen station.

Pre-purchase review
Mechanically the Mirai is simple and has proven durable, with the fuel-cell stack and motor generally trouble-free in service. The most cited real-world issue is not the car but the hydrogen supply : US owners have faced station outages and, at times, hydrogen shortages.
Germany and Europe
US cars use mph instrumentation, North American lighting and telematics configured for the US.
Approval work centres on lighting compliance including adding a rear fog lamp , headlight conformity, converting the speedometer reading to km/h, documenting the odometer, and providing evidence for the high-pressure hydrogen system and tank certification dates for the inspector.
USCar Trader services
As a buyer based in Germany, you do not have to inspect the vehicle yourself in the United States or Canada. Within the agreed scope, USCar Trader can coordinate document review, a separately commissioned on-site inspection and purchase processing.
Covered inspection points are agreed in advance. An on-site inspection records condition at the appointment and is not a guarantee.
Next step: Before commissioning, USCar Trader and the customer agree which document, history, inspection and transaction checks suit the vehicle and are included in the service. This records what was actually checked.
Import process
The assessment depends on the specific vehicle and the circumstances of the transaction. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review any possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support. Import VAT and other costs are considered separately.
Questions and answers
Sometimes. Germany has a limited hydrogen station network concentrated in certain regions. The 700-bar nozzle is compatible, but you must confirm a usable station near you before importing.
No, not automatically. A 0% EU import-duty rate may be available for a vehicle covered by Regulation (EU) 2026/1455 that has US origin and is imported directly into the EU. CETA may apply to a vehicle with preferential Canadian origin. Whether the requirements are met is assessed for the individual case.

The second generation is EPA-rated up to roughly 402 miles (about 647 km); real-world range depends on driving and conditions.
Yes, the drivetrain has proven durable. Ownership challenges stem from refuelling logistics rather than the hardware itself.
Around five minutes, similar to a petrol car and far quicker than charging a battery EV.
VIN and generation, full history, hydrogen tank certification dates, warranty transferability, battery health and clean title.
Servicing generally requires a specialist familiar with FCEVs; plan for this before purchase.
Available VIN, title and history information can be reviewed in the vehicle profile. USCar Trader can also arrange a separately booked on-site inspection within a scope agreed in advance.
