Lexus: Experience accelerates progress 🎥

Lexus is continuously developing new technologies for electrified vehicles. On the one hand, to increase energy efficiency and reduce emissions, and on the other, to achieve higher levels of performance, dynamics and driving pleasure.

At the Kenshiki Media Forum in Brussels, the company gave an update overview of Lexus Electrified, its roadmap of electrification and the path to CO2 neutrality. Also highlighted were innovations in design and engineering that will characterize the new generation of models.

Vehicles should trigger real enthusiasm
Vice President and Head of Lexus Europe, Pascal Ruch recognized the leading role of battery electric vehicles. However, as long as infrastructure and power availability remain challenges, Lexus will also continue to develop hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles to meet all customer needs worldwide.

Pascal Ruch: "All future developments will be based on the principle of reinventing the driving experience with electrification. We want our vehicles to trigger genuine enthusiasm."

Acceleration to 100 km/h in two seconds
The Electrified Sport (gallery and video) represents the vision of a future hyper sports car with electric drive. It shows the clear intention to build e-cars also in the high-performance range. The flowing lines of the model were inspired by speed and movements in aerobatics. It is said to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just around two seconds.

Lexus is also introducing new systems that optimize the dynamic potential of the electrified powertrains. Direct4 in the RX 500h and RZ 450e models is a Lexus-exclusive technology that distributes drive power between the front and rear wheels at all times according to the situation. This ensures the best possible traction, smooth acceleration, and better and smoother cornering.
