#Lexus Plans 620-Mile Range, Quick-Charging EV

[Auto Styling News]


Japanese luxury car brand Lexus has formally begun its journey to full electrification by 2035 by introducing a peek at the production version of the LF CZ at the 2023 Japan Mobility Show.

The Japan Mobility Show replaces the erstwhile Tokyo Motor Show as the region's biggest automotive festival, transforming into a holistic and lifestyle-centered trade show.

This LF-CZ or Lexus Future Zero-emission Catalyst uses DIRECT4 All-Wheel Drive Technology that Lexus took from the RZ.

There was not much to go on about the concept model except for the batteries it will be fitted with. 

The LF-ZC will have a prismatic, high-performance batteries that has twice the range of current EVs in the market today. That means it will have up to 620 miles of distance to travel on a fully-charged power source. 

As AutoStylingNews previously noted, Toyota, Lexus' parent company, recently announced that it will pioneer and bring to market long-lasting, quick charging batteries in the coming years,  which explains why it has largely remained out of the EV market.

The pre-production photos of the concept show a sleek luxury car that aims to compete with the electric cars Cadillac, Tesla and Luxid, and Mercedes are planning for the near future.  Lexus says the first LF-CZ variant may in fact be a hatchback. 

Lexus plans to sell this next-generation model in 2026, with an aim to give Lexus a full electric lineup by 2026.
