The new RZ 450e is Lexus' first electric vehicle to be designed from the ground up. The model not only has a battery-electric drive instead of a conventional motor, but also fully exploits the potential of new technologies to increase performance and driving pleasure in equal measure, true to the "Lexus Electrified" philosophy. The vehicle was extensively tested and tuned on the racetrack at the Shimoyama Center in Japan, the future global headquarters of Lexus.First and foremost, the new RZ is a true Lexus – it has all the qualities of performance and craftsmanship that the brand is known for; with a special focus on driving pleasure with the Lexus Driving Signature. The company has used its extensive experience in electrification to combine the benefits of a battery electric model (BEV) with the refinement typical of the brand, creating a unique driving experience.Lexus is using the new E-Axle drives in the RZ for the first time: compact motor units at the front and rear that work together with the new Lexus DIRECT4 all-wheel drive. The new platform, specially developed for electric vehicles, offers excellent body rigidity, a low center of gravity and a long wheelbase - thus creating the conditions for precise handling characteristics and direct response. The optional "One Motion Grip" steer-by-wire system in combination with the innovative Yoke steering wheel will be introduced from 2025. This enables even simpler and more precise steering.The powerful lithium-ion battery unit is fully integrated into the chassis under the cab floor; their quality is closely controlled to ensure long-term performance.

A new model for a new market segment: With the new LBX, Lexus has developed a vehicle specifically for the needs and current trends of customers in Europe for the first time. The new compact SUV impresses with its high quality and at the same time offers a fresh look.The new LBX is the brand's smallest model to date and offers comfort and technologies normally found in higher vehicle classes. It does not compromise on typical Lexus qualities such as outstanding craftsmanship and omotenashi hospitality for all occupants. 25,000 units of the brand's new central model are expected to be sold in Europe next year. Delivery of the first vehicles will begin in spring 2024.What is also special is that the model name consists of three letters - previously this privilege was only reserved for the LFA super sports car. With the choice of the name, Lexus underlines its confidence in the new model. Just as the LFA showed a completely different side of the brand in terms of power and performance, the LBX challenges the status quo and redefines what a compact car can offer.
