Toyota's luxury brand Lexus recently announced that it will display a pure electric concept car at the Japan Auto Show that opens on October 25. The new car will use a modular body structure, and its mass production model will be officially launched in 2026. It will be the first model of Lexus’ next-generation electric car.

  Judging from the official trailer, the new car is equipped with brand-new arrow-shaped headlights and electronic exterior mirrors. The front face profile is quite similar to the LF-A supercar model launched by Lexus a few years ago.

  From the side, the new car has a very low ground clearance and a crossover-style body. It will focus on aerodynamics and lightweight design. Officials say the interior will also use more environmentally friendly materials.

  The car will be equipped with Toyota's newly developed new lithium-ion battery, which is claimed to have a driving range of 497 miles (about 799.84 kilometers) and can charge from 0% to 80% in 20 minutes.

  Toyota has also previously said the new lithium-ion battery will be available alongside another "high-performance" solid-state battery that has a range of up to 621 miles. However, this solid-state battery is scheduled to be officially launched on the market in 2027.

  Toyota said in July this year that it had achieved a major breakthrough in battery technology: it could cut the weight, volume and cost of batteries in half. Keiji Kaida, president of Toyota's Carbon Neutral Research and Development Center, said the company has developed ways to improve battery durability and believes it can now create a solid-state battery with a range of 1,200 kilometers and a charging time of 10 minutes or less.
