LEXUS TO REVEAL NEW CONCEPT CAR SPEARHEADING EXCITING AND SUSTAINABLE BRAND VISION

Lexus will introduce its renewed brand vision, along with a new concept car previewing the next generation of Lexus vehicles, during an online event to be broadcasted on Tuesday March 30, 2021 at 12:00pm CET at the following address: All New 2021 Concept Car | Lexus Europe

 

Some more from a quick animation/vid they have and other teasers shown.

 

Looks pretty damn good! If its their BEV, maybe they will bring back the GS name.

 

Profile reminds me of the Mirai, and that's a very good thing. Doubt if they would use the GS name if it's a BEV though. Lexus's recent trademarks of the LF-Z and RZ450e might point to them using the Z nomenclature for zero-emission cars.

 

We've seen this concept numerous times before, and it's clear from the new side profile that it'll be some kind of coupe-SUV. Proportions are still very much FWD-based, so I assume a production version will use the same TNGA-K platform as Toyota/Lexus's new FWD offerings. It's likely this will be the basis for the RZ coupe crossover.

 

If it's a BEV, it could just as well be RWD regardless of proportions. I hope they keep prices reasonable. Wouldn't mind a BEV Lexus SUV for the family hauler duties

 

Looks promising - better be RWD

 

Not necessarily, the UX EV in Europe uses the TNGA-K platform is a FWD-based. The only way it would be RWD is if it were built on a bespoke EV chassis or existing RWD global architecture.

It's too early to say because this is nothing more than a design direction concept car rather than a production vehicle.

 

I assumed you could just place the motor on the rear axle in any EV. I haven't seen an EV thats AWD with a just 1 motor driving all 4 wheels. I guess you are right in that if its a TNGA-K, it may not be AWD, just FWD. I guess i'm hoping they have a new skateboard type chassis for this concept.

 

Lexus coming to the coupe crossover game perhaps

 

Side view looks like a Tesla Model 3.

 

Great! Looking forward to seeing the future design direction of Lexus.

 

Looks really good-I like it

Like the Mustang mach-E?

 

I agree it looks like a mid-size sedan aka GS replacement albeit a BEV version. It looks similar in concept to the Audi A7 aka a liftback sports 4 door Grancoupe.

My theory : BEV will be the halo powertrain but I don't doubt there will be a hybrid powerplant in the model lineup. Reason : not every country has the necessary infrastructure for a pure BEV to sell in high numbers.
