Recently, Lexus officially released a preview image of a new electrified model. Combined with its coupe-SUV shape and previously exposed news, I believe it is most likely the Lexus LF-Z on the same platform as the Toyota bZ4X pure electric concept car. According to previous news, the car is planned to be unveiled before August 2022, the first year of Lexus electrification. It will be built on the e-TNGA platform and China will become one of the car's major sales markets in the future.
There is currently no more news about LF-Z. Combined with the previously exposed imaginary pictures, LF-Z still maintains the Lexus family spindle-shaped design language, the overall design style is very radical and has a strong sense of movement. The center grille adopts a closed style often used in pure electric vehicles. Thanks to the compact layout of the pure electric platform, it has a four-wheeled and four-cornered shape design, the body proportions are very well-proportioned, and it has a strong aesthetic feeling.
