The 2022 Toyota Mirai has a beautiful-looking interior and there is an abundance of SofTex which is a synthetic leather material inside the cabin and everything looks premium and feels nice to touch. The dashboard is beautifully designed and all the controls, buttons, and infotainment screens are laid out ergonomically. The dash and center console is covered by SofTex and there are no hard-touch plastics anywhere to be found which shows the impressive quality of the Mirai’s interior.
The seats are heated inside the base trim while the higher end trim gets ventilated perforated seats. Dual-zone climate control is standard in the XLE trim which gets upgraded to three-zone in the Limited trim. The top-end trim also gets Active Sound Control which further insulates the exterior noise from entering the cabin. There is also an ample amount of space on the inside but the rear seat legroom could be improved and the same is the case with the 9.6 cu-ft of cargo capacity which limits the luggage you can carry.

The Tesla hands down has the most modern, futuristic interior with the huge central touchscreen controlling every aspect of the vehicle, but that also makes it a bit confusing and distracting as you will have to take your eyes off the road to do every minute adjustment. The Nexo being an SUV has the most spacious interior offering an impressive amount of passengers as well as cargo space.
It gets a well-designed updated interior, but with an abundance of buttons and switches in the center console. That makes Mirai’s interior the overall best one to be inside.
