The LF-Z Electrified represents a series of Lexus design, driving, and technology goals for the next five to 10 years.
Blending new design language and Artificial Intelligence-infused drivers assistant, the core of the Lexus LF-Z Electrificed concept is the new DIRECT4 four-wheel-drive force control technology. A battery placed in the floor pan paired with two high-torque motors makes this new EV chassis more rigid. And, with the ability to control each motor separately, next-generation Lexus models will be able to front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, or all-wheel drive as needed.
