Lexus' first electric car will take this prototype as inspiration

At the upcoming Tokyo Motor Show, the Japanese brand will present a concept car that shows the main lines of its first fully electric car.

From next Wednesday, October 23, which together with the 24th are dedicated to press days, and until Monday, November 4, visitors to the Tokyo Big Sight International Exhibition Center, the exhibition center that will host the Tokyo Motor Show, will be able to see first-hand how Lexus plans the future of the electric car.

There, under the lights of the rooms, Lexus will uncover the canvas that completely hides the prototype on which the production version will be based of its first fully electric car.

The first electric car from Lexus

And is that this concept car that It doesn't have a name yet and of which only one image and a very brief video have been shown showing the lighting sequence of its lights. It will be a car that uses the accumulation of electrical energy to send its electric propellants.

A car, both the prototype and the one that reaches the assembly line, that, for the first time in the Lexus history will do without gasoline and will depend exclusively on electricity for all systems, whatever their functions.

This prototype is expected to follow the sharp and incisive line of other future proposals shown by the brand during the past years. Thus, this car, from what little can be seen in these images, could share a design with the Lexus LF-SA Concept from 2015, a small electric urban vehicle that advanced a commitment to utility vehicles and which could have evolved towards the electric alternative as far as urban mobility is concerned.

Thus, the car that goes into production could become the rival of other urban electric cars recently presented and in line with this environment and configuration, such as its compatriot the Honda and.

What we do know is that Lexus announces that this prototype advances in terms of the use of electric batteries and in relation to the automation of its driving already the absence of a human being in the management of its handling although it is not specified in what autonomous driving levels it is framed or what technologies it equips to be able to justify said statement.

Something that we will know once the conceptual model that we will see in the city of Tokyo at the end of the month is exposed and presented.
