Lexus delivered around 760,000 new cars in 2021, a 6 percent increase over 2020. North America is the brand's largest market, with sales of about 330,000 units. China came in second with about 230,000 units delivered. At the same time, Lexus also set a new record for the delivery of electric vehicles for itself, about 260,000 units, an increase of 10% over last year.
A few days ago, we got news from relevant channels that the Lexus pure electric vehicle RZ released several official pictures, and according to the plan, the new car will be officially unveiled this spring. The new car is based on the e-TNGA platform, and officially said that the new car will provide a new driving experience and will redefine Lexus' new standard for electric vehicles that combine comfort and dynamic performance at this level.
Judging from the photos released, the overall lines of the new car are not simple, but they appear to be very sharp, which is the consistent style of Lexus, but from the side waistline of the RZ, it uses the secondary stamping technology just taken from Toyota, which can be regarded as the nightmare of the sheet metal master.
The design of the rear of the car is quite layered, the design of the through-type LED light group further enhances the visual width of the rear, the C-pillar has a significant downward tilt, and the air flow from the car flows through the upper spoiler and the sloping rear window, hitting the ducktail, which helps to reduce the wind resistance coefficient of the whole vehicle, and the design of the double spoiler can also make the visual effect more youthful and sporty.
The front face of the new car still retains the classic spindle style of Lexus, but the front face grille has completely become a flat shape, and the black decorative panels on both sides divide the front face into three areas, making the layered design of the front face more abundant. It is worth mentioning that the design of the headlights is very handsome, and the style of the front face is also the main reason why many netizens think it is science fiction.
summary:
While it's about to debut, the RZ's powertrain remains a mystery to this day. The sister model, the bZ4X, has an output of 215 horsepower and could also be used on the RZ. For reference, the Toyota bZ4X front-drive model has a cruising range of nearly 500km under WLC conditions, and can be fully charged to 80% in 30 minutes in fast charging mode.
