The Lexus LF-30 Electrified concept vehicle embodies the "Lexus Electrified" vision. For its exterior styling the advanced image expected of a BEV has been channeled into artistic qualities that result in a futuristic form, and an interior that assertively weaves in autonomous driving and other new technologies aims to manifest Lexus' distinctive worldview. Performance is rooted in Lexus Electrified components, adding Lexus' latest technology to our leadership in development of HEV systems. Precise electric motor control enables instantaneous adjustments to posture not possible with conventional vehicles. Furthermore, the Lexus LF-30 Electrified employs numerous advanced technologies with a look ahead to the year 2030 - such as a new-concept cockpit based on a human-centered design philosophy and a steer-by-wire system.

The vehicle form is meant to visually express the energy created by the wheels set at the corners of the vehicle body streaming toward the vehicle cabin and past the driver to directly flow onto the road surface.Taking advantage of a hoodless vehicle shape made possible by being a BEV, Lexus' signature "spindle" form has been further evolved to span the entire vehicle architecture. The window glass, which continually stretches from the front to rear, the muscular fenders, and the wing-shaped headlights form the contours of the Lexus iconic spindle. The shape of the body is fashioned with an elegantly flowing front which transitions into a linear and sharp rear. In addition to the wing-shaped headlights, the sharpness of the rear lights and side air intakes combine to achieve both excellent aerodynamics and cooling performance, resulting in styling fused with function.
Provocatively simple: In keeping with the “Provocative Simplicity” design theme, the characteristic Lexus identity is further developed. The striking exterior combines high presence with a sophisticated simplicity with aerodynamic performance at the forefront. The result is an emotionally appealing look.The designers' goal was an elegantly condensed shape with a low center of gravity. The focus was on aerodynamics and electro-specific functional and structural elements. The slim silhouette extends from the low hood over the tapered cabin to the rear. The flared rear wheel arches provide a balance between aerodynamic performance and wide stance.The body's spindle design extends from the front through the sides of the vehicle to the rear bumper, embodying a comprehensive evolution of form and function. Aerodynamic components such as the air inlets and outlets are elegantly integrated into the design to create an emotionally appealing exterior that ensures aerodynamic performance without creating visual mass-produced goods.

The new LX is designed to provide vehicle occupants with exceptional comfort and enrich their life experiences. While maintaining a traditional body-on-frame structure to ensure reliability, durability, and d driving performance, it renews its characteristics by adopting the new GA-F platform, realizing a weight reduction of approximately 200 kg, and achieving a digitally-developed high-rigidity body. The new LX will be available with either a high-output, high-torque 3.5-liter V6 twin-turbo gasoline engine. Electronically controlled brakes (ECB) and an electric power steering system (EPS) are also adopted to ensure customers will be able to enjoy Lexus-unique driving performance to the fullest, both on-road and off-road. These innovations, plus the adoption of two new available powertrains, will also contribute to improved environmental performance, reducing annual CO2 emissions when the vehicle is in use by approximately 20 percent on a global cumulative basis compared to the previous model, thus contributing to the realization of a carbon-neutral society. In harsh off-road environments, to promote a safer and more comfortable driving experience, the instrument panel features Lexus' first dual display with a 12.3-inch upper screen and 7-inch lower screen, as well as Back Underfloor View, which displays the area beneath the rear part of the vehicle as a world first*. The new LX is more personalized, with the newly added "EXECUTIVE" grade, which is specially designed with four independent seats for elegant and safe travel on all kinds of roads, and the "OFFROAD" grade which is dedicated to Japanese market. In terms of styling, while pursuing a design that contributes to athletic performance and function (a design perspective that began with the new NX), ideal proportions are expressed through a blending of sophistication, power, and presence befitting a flagship SUV. Among other featured technologies, Lexus' first fingerprint-authentication push-start switch contributes to reducing the risk of theft.
