LEXUS LF-ZL SHOWS POSSIBILITIES FOR A FUTURE BEV FLAGSHIP

Shifting, advanced driving assistance systems, and drive mode selection are all located within the left digital pad. Convenience features such as audio, climate control, phone and AI functions are grouped within the right digital pad, designed with an intuitive and easy-to-use layout.


The "Eyes on the Road" principle is applied by adopting a distant view meter that projects information on to the front windscreen using the same concept as HUD. Additionally, digital mirrors are installed on both sides of the vehicle. By projecting images of the vehicle's surroundings, shifts in the driver's gaze, focus, and head movement during driving are minimised, achieving an unobstructed cockpit view that promotes concentration.

NEXT-GENERATION PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY


Next-generation Lexus BEVs will feature a new modular structure through gigacasting, which splits the vehicle body into three parts: front, centre, and rear.


Casting provides greater freedom of form, while the integration of parts also increases rigidity for improved vehicle dynamics. Positioning the battery in the central section of the vehicle body ensures the front and rear remain structurally unaffected. This enables the rapid integration of battery advancements into the vehicle, contributing to swifter implementation of future technology.



The production process introduces a self-driving assembly line, where cars can autonomously move to the next stage. This enables the vehicle to drive itself with only the battery, motor, tyres, and wireless terminal components in the front, centre, and rear sections.


The elimination of conveyor belts from the production line provides more flexibility in the factory layout, while also bringing significant cost savings.


LF-ZC and other next-generation BEVs will features advanced high-performance batteries. Made with a prismatic structure, the batteries are engineered to increase range through improved aerodynamic integration and weight reduction, enhancing vehicle efficiency and battery performance.


The low profile and positioning of the battery also contributes to increased design flexibility, allowing for a more dynamic silhouette. And a low centre of gravity for improved driving dynamics.



Venturing beyond the conventional, challenging accepted notions of luxury and providing an unrivalled customer experience that goes beyond expectations is not new to Lexus, as these were the very foundations on which the brand was born in 1989.
