Lexus will launch a new all-electric model: it is expected to be equipped with solid-state batteries, which will be mass-produced in 2026

IT House News on September 24, Toyota's luxury brand Lexus recently announced that it will display a pure electric concept car at the Japan Motor Show that opens on October 25. The new car will have a modular body structure, and its production model will be officially launched in 2026, which will be the first model of Lexus' next-generation electric vehicle.

Judging from the official teaser picture, the new car is equipped with new arrow-shaped headlights and electronic exterior mirrors, and the front face profile is quite similar to the supercar LF-A launched by Lexus a few years ago.

From the side, the new car has a very low ground clearance and a crossover style body, which will focus on aerodynamic and lightweight design, and the official said that the interior will also use more environmentally friendly materials.

The car will be equipped with Toyota's newly developed new lithium-ion battery, which claims to have a range of 497 miles (about 799.84 kilometers) and can charge from 0% to 80% in 20 minutes.

Toyota has also previously said that the new lithium-ion battery will be supplied with another "high-performance" solid-state battery with a range of up to 621 miles (about 999.4 kilometers). However, this solid-state battery is scheduled to be officially introduced to the market in 2027.

IT House previously reported that Toyota had said in July that it had made a major breakthrough in battery technology: it could halve the weight, volume and cost of batteries. Keiji Kaita, president of Toyota's Carbon Neutral R&D Center, said the company has developed ways to improve battery durability and believes it is now possible to create solid-state batteries with a range of 1,200 kilometers and a charging time of 10 minutes or less.
