“We will deliver a unique electrified Lexus that combines linear motor acceleration/deceleration, brake feeling and exhilarating handling to further pursue the joy of driving. In particular, we believe that the Battery EV will become the future symbol of Lexus as a model that most clearly expresses the evolution of the automobile brought about by electrification.”
The BEV line-up consists of three models, namely the BEV Sport which has dynamic proportions and sleek lines and is spawned from the development of the LFA.
