LEXUS IS OFFICIALLY GOING 100% ELECTRIC - HERE'S EVERYTHING WE KNOW

EV Channels Review

Lexus has officially announced a comprehensive shift to 100% battery-electric vehicles by 2030 in key markets and globally by 2035, a move that surprised many with its aggressive timeline and extensive future lineup. The video highlights several upcoming models, including the RZ (expected in 2022), a "Sports Battery EV" with sub-2-second 0-100 km/h acceleration and over 700 km of range, a convertible successor to the LC, a hatchback, and potential electric versions of the IS, LS, ES, NX, RX, and TX. The reviewer expresses excitement about Lexus's "out of left field" strategy, noting the departure from traditional spindle grilles and the adoption of sleek, performance-oriented designs, some reminiscent of Porsche Taycan and even an electric Supra. While specific trim levels and drivetrains for most models are not detailed, the "Sports Battery EV" is positioned as a high-performance variant. The reviewer is particularly impressed by the breadth of the lineup, catering to various segments from performance coupes to three-row crossovers, and sees this as a significant and unexpected move from a brand often perceived as more conservative.
