The concept, the name of which stands for"Lexus Future Zero-emission Luxury," measures 208.6 inches long, or about eight inches longer than the current Lexus LX SUV and two inches longer than the LS flagship sedan. An EV-specific platform allows for greater packaging flexibility and helps maximize interior space within that generous footprint.
The LF-ZL and other next-generation Lexus EVs will have a modular structure composed of three large"gigacastings" comprising the front, center, and rear of the vehicle structure. Pioneered by Tesla, this process eliminates some smaller parts that would ordinarily be welded together to form a basic vehicle structure, simplifying the production process and increasing rigidity.
Another new technology feature appearing in the LF-ZL concept is Lexus parent Toyota's new operating system, known as Arene. It will be able to process data from the car's onboard sensors and the surrounding environment, allowing the car to, for example, automatically bring up directions when a driver or passenger identifies a point of interest. Lexus also mentioned the"utilization of big data" to manage the charging process, helping to integrate EVs with the grid.
