Recently, Lexus announced the rendering of its new electric car on Twitter, which had been unveiled at the previous Toyota & Lexus new electric model conference, but only showed a corner of the car at that time, and the recently released photos showed a comprehensive display of the model.
Renderings of Lexus' new electric sedan
Judging from the published appearance map, the front hood of this new pure electric sedan has a certain bulge, which looks like the use of a clamshell hood design, which looks relatively new. As a pure electric model, it does not adopt a closed grille design, and the intake grille area at the front face is not small, which looks sporty. The openings on both sides of the hood seem to have added headlights, but they are very slender and can play a certain role in lighting, and vents are added below to provide heat dissipation for the front wheels.
From the side, the new model is somewhat similar to Lexus's IS sedan, both of which have a clamshell design on the front hood, and the curvature of the roof is also similar, and both have Y-shaped taillights. However, the car still has a big difference in the rear, and the tail of the new model is more sleek.

In recent days, Lexus has been tweeting renderings of its new models. Previously, Lexus also announced an official map of a medium-sized and large electric SUV, which may indicate that Lexus has shifted its future development focus to the field of electrification.
