Mirai and bZ4X Slip in Toyota’s Resale Rankings

Toyota remains highly reliable overall, but two models show notable depreciation: the hydrogen-powered Mirai and the early EV bZ4X. Mirai resale has fallen about 80% in five years due to scarce hydrogen fueling infrastructure, with used prices around $10k from a $49.5k new starting point. The bZ4X, hit by late EV competition and a wheel-hub recall, has seen roughly 57% value loss, with private-party used values around $21,400 after three years. Kelley Blue Book still uses about 53% five-year value for Toyota overall, but these niche powertrains illustrate why some Toyotas depreciate faster.

"2025 Honda CR-V: The Ultimate Hydrogen Plug-In Hybrid SUV"

Honda introduces the 2025 CR-V e:FCEV, a hydrogen fuel cell-powered SUV with a 270-mile EPA-rated range and bidirectional charging capabilities, co-developed with General Motors. The vehicle, available for leasing in California later this year, aims to appeal to fans of hybrid powertrains and addresses the challenge of limited hydrogen refueling infrastructure.
