It ensures an unnoticeable overlapping of the conventional mechanical brakes and the electric braking performance of the electric motor in alternator mode.

Fortunately, the brakes feel natural and the hand - off between regenerative and mechanical braking is almost impossible to discern.

Clearly the transition between the electric regen brakes and the mechanical brakes is not as it should be.

Under heavier braking, the mechanical brakes take over.

When it comes to hybrids and electrics, there's always a lot of attention paid to the transition between regenerative and mechanical braking, and while that certainly matters, it's something you experience infrequently if you drive conservatively.

The switchover from regenerative braking to mechanical braking is now imperceptible in most conditions, and brake pedal feel is firm and positive.

Smooth acceleration, excellent transitions between regenerative braking and the mechanical brakes, and Toyota's reputation for quality and durability make the Mirai a strong option for zero - emissions fanatics.

The only flaw here lies in the regenerative brakes, which offer a little too much light - effort pedal travel before you transition into the mechanical brakes.

Even more important, the transition between regenerative braking and the action of the mechanical brakes is also very smooth.

Moreover, when you do the stopping thing instead of the going thing, the transition between regenerative braking to mechanical braking is now equally refined.

The mechanical brakes at the wheels only engage when you step very hard and deeply on the brake pedal.

The regenerative braking effect available is limited, and mechanical braking is still necessary for substantial speed reductions, to bring a vehicle to a stop, or to hold a vehicle at a standstill.

Regenerative braking sends power back to the battery, and the transition from regen to mechanical braking is smooth as can be.

The brakes are smooth and don't exhibit the low - speed grabbiness some hybrids and EVs exhibit as a side effect of the switch from regenerative to mechanical braking.

The mechanical brakes are activated only when the driver presses down the brake pedal harder for more stopping power.

The mechanical brakes are activated only when the situation requires more braking power than the rear axle can provide.

DSC Dynamic Stability Control serves to mastermind the balance of electrical and mechanical braking, naturally maintaining all the driver's freedom in dosing the brakes.

As long as the driver requires only a small amount of brake power, the system uses only the electrical brake force, with the mechanical brakes being activated only when the driver presses down the brake pedal harder for more stopping power.

Dynamic Stability Control controls the balance of electrical and mechanical braking so adeptly that the driver does not even perceive the transition from braking with electric power to braking with the mechanical brake system.

A fi nal — and again an important — point is that the driver does not even perceive the transition from braking with electric power to braking with the mechanical brake system.

When trail - braking into a corner, the system utilizes the front TMU for enhanced deceleration — the advanced braking system works in concert with the vehicle's mechanical brakes to precisely decelerate, and the Direct Yaw Control delivers precise and immediate turn - in performance while allowing drivers to point their eyes toward the corner apexes.

There's also an electronic parking brake instead of a mechanical brake.

The mechanical braking system is hydraulic from the master cylinder to the 4 - wheel disc brakes, just like a traditional braking system.
