Ahead of Tokoyo Motor Show Lexus teases audience with its long-range EV

A picture teased the impending debut of Lexus' next

EV

prototype. The prototype boasts an astounding range of 800km on a single charge and will be presented at the Tokyo Motor Show in a month. The modular vehicle body structure, the production process, and the software platform will all be totally redesigned, according to Lexus, who also claims that the concept will revolutionise the industry. The preview represents Lexus' first move towards electrifying their complete lineup by 2035. This unveiling comes at a time when other automakers, including BMW and Mercedes, have also presented their electric vehicle concept cars.


While Lexus has not provided any other information on the idea, its parent firm Toyota has previously stated plans to introduce a new fleet of EVs in the near future with significant price and range improvements.  


Toyota's new lithium-ion battery technology, which it plans to share with Lexus, delivers more effective battery chemistry that enables thinner battery packs and promises a range of about 800 km on a single charge. This will make it easier to create EVs with lower-slung designs that have improved aerodynamics and roomy interiors. We anticipate that the next Lexus car will include these improvements.


Toyota also intends to provide a 'High Performance' solid-state battery option with the new lithium-ion battery chemistry, with a stated range of more than 1,000 miles on a single charge.  The commercial version of Lexus' Electrified Sport supercar concept would reportedly feature solid-state technology, however, the company has not yet acknowledged any intentions to match the figure with a real car.


Lexus will showcase a novel method of automobile building in addition to the preview at the Japan Mobility Show in a month. Toyota's ambitions to combine powertrain, suspension, and steering technologies into affordable and space-efficient modules are anticipated to serve as the foundation for the new strategy. According to Lexus, the design is "detailed and focused on Lexus characteristics." The pixelated preview image clearly shows the upgraded headlamp designs, the rear-view cameras that will replace the wing mirrors, and the aggressive front end that may be influenced by the Lexus LFA supercar. It is projected that the design of the production car will continue to change.


In its lineup for India, Lexus has a considerable number of automobiles. It provides crossovers and SUVs including the NX, RX, and LX as well as the upscale MPV, the LM, which is based on the Toyota Vellfire. Although Lexus does not offer the RZ all-electric SUV in this region, there is a large selection of plug-in hybrid cars for buyers to choose from.
