Compare the2026 Toyota MiraiVS 2026 Dodge Charger

For enhanced safety, the front seat shoulder belts of the Toyota Mirai are height-adjustable to accommodate a wide variety of driver and passenger heights. A better fit can prevent injuries and the increased comfort also encourages passengers to buckle up. The Dodge Charger Two-Door doesn’t offer height-adjustable seat belts.

The Mirai has standard Whiplash Injury Lessening Seats (WIL), which use a specially designed headrest to protect the driver and front passenger from whiplash. During a rear-end collision, the WIL system moves the headrests forward to prevent neck and spine injuries. The Charger doesn’t offer a whiplash protection system.

The Mirai has a standard Secondary Collision Brake, which automatically applies the brakes in the event of a crash to help prevent secondary collisions and prevent further injuries. The Charger doesn’t offer a post collision braking system: in the event of a collision that triggers the airbags, more collisions are possible without the protection of airbags that may have already deployed.

Both the Mirai and Charger have rear cross-traffic warning, but the Mirai has Parking Support Brake (automatically applies the brakes) to better prevent a collision when backing near traffic. The Charger’s Rear Cross Path Detection doesn’t automatically brake.

Both the Mirai and the Charger have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, driver and front passenger knee airbags, side-impact head airbags, front and rear seatbelt pretensioners, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, daytime running lights, lane departure warning systems, blind spot warning systems, rearview cameras, rear cross-path warning and driver alert monitors.

Toyota pays for scheduled maintenance on the Mirai for 3 years and 35000 miles. Toyota will pay for tire rotations, cabin filter replacement, brake fluid replacement, inspections, and any other required maintenance. Dodge doesn’t pay scheduled maintenance for the Charger.

On the EPA test cycle the Mirai gets better mileage than the Charger Daytona Scat Pack Performance 325 Tires running on electricity (76 city/71 hwy vs. 77 city/68 hwy MPGe).

The Mirai can travel longer on a full tank of hydrogen than the Charger on electricity, only, on a full charge:

The Mirai’s front to rear weight distribution is more even (50% to 50%) than the Charger’s (55.4% to 44.6%). This gives the Mirai more stable handling and braking.

For better maneuverability, the Mirai’s turning circle is 1.5 feet tighter than the Charger Six Pack’s (38.5 feet vs. 40 feet). The Mirai’s turning circle is 3 feet tighter than the Charger Daytona’s (38.5 feet vs. 41.5 feet).

The Toyota Mirai may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs about 550 to 1550 pounds less than the Dodge Charger.

The Mirai is 10.8 inches shorter than the Charger, making the Mirai easier to handle, maneuver and park in tight spaces.

The Mirai is 5.6 inches narrower than the Charger, making the Mirai easier to handle and maneuver in traffic.

The design of the Toyota Mirai amounts to more than styling. The Mirai has an aerodynamic coefficient of drag of .29 Cd. That is significantly lower than the Charger (.35) and many sports cars. A more efficient exterior helps keep the interior quieter and helps the Mirai get better fuel mileage.

With its sedan body style, valet key and remote trunk release lockout, the Mirai offers cargo security. The Charger’s hatchback body style and non-lockable folding seat defeat cargo security.

The Mirai’s front and rear power windows all open or close fully with one touch of the switches, making it more convenient at drive-up windows and toll booths, or when talking with someone outside the car. The Charger’s rear power window switches have to be held the entire time to open or close them fully.

A power rear sunshade and manual rear side window sunshades are standard in the Mirai Limited to help block heat and glare for the rear passengers. The Charger doesn’t offer a rear or rear side window sunshades.

Both the Toyota Mirai and Dodge Charger offer exterior mirrors that can be folded to provide convenience. The Mirai features standard power folding mirrors, which allow for easy, one-touch folding or unfolding at the driver’s discretion. This provides added convenience when maneuvering or parking, as well as when walking past the parked vehicle. In comparison, the Charger’s foldable mirrors are manual, requiring the driver to get out and physically fold them once parked and unfold them before getting in.

To quickly and conveniently keep personal devices charged without cables tangling and wearing out, the Toyota Mirai has a standard wireless phone charging system (Qi) in the center console. Wireless charging costs extra on the Charger.

The Mirai Limited’s Intelligent Parking Assist can parallel park or back into a parking spot by itself, starting, stopping and changing direction automatically. The Charger doesn’t offer an automated parking system.

According to iSeeCars.com the 2025 Toyota Mirai retains 47.84% of its original value after 5 years, more than the 47.49% resale value of the 2025 Dodge Charger after five years, which can save the Toyota’s owner up to $4277.5914 in depreciation.
