At the end of December last year, Toyota released 15 new electric vehicles in one go, and the speed was a bit "caught off guard". The arrival of the new energy wave has made Toyota's determination to enter the electric field very obvious, taking its brand Lexus as an example, it will achieve full electrification of products in 2030, and at the same time turn into a pure electric brand in 2035.
At the press conference, several new Products from Lexus were particularly eye-catching, including the upcoming Mass Production Of the Lexus RZ, electrified SUV (a model positioned higher than the RZ), electrified Sedan (a four-door sedan) and a pure electric tour/hunting car and a two-door roadster, but the most eye-catching is undoubtedly the pure electric GT sports car called BEV Sport.
Under the electrification architecture, Lexus passed on a new design idea for us, the classic spindle grille design of the fuel car did not appear on the new car, the lightning-like day running lights with the slender strip light set looked very sharp, the X-shaped front was very low, and the ventilation holes were designed to optimize the aerodynamic effect.
Slender front of the car to make the cockpit position further rear, thereby creating a strong sense of GT racing visual sense, side lines are simple but not simple, from the picture it is not difficult to see that the body has an excellent light and shadow change effect, silver livery not only will not appear monotonous, but there will be a unique sense of science fiction.
The roof line falls sharply at the rear of the car, the large size diffuser rises high, and the interior of the light group is suspected to adopt a spindle-shaped complex design, which still has a strong sense of the future. According to previous news, BEV Sport will have an acceleration time of less than 2 seconds of 0-96km/h (0-60mph), and the cruising range will reach about 700km after being equipped with a solid-state battery.
Taking the domestic market sales as an example, Lexus's models are the leading ES, and there is a luxury "top stream" such as LM occupying the C position, and the brand positioning of luxury, business and comfort is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. However, in the face of the impact of the new energy wave, like other car companies, Lexus is bound to face an important transformation, and the release of a variety of electric models in one go undoubtedly shows its determination to enter electrification, but in the face of many strong new energy opponents, a more diversified product layout and a more intelligent vehicle system are undoubtedly the icing on the cake. In the future, we expect Lexus to still be able to deliver amazing performances.
