Next-Generation Lexus BEV LF-ZC Concept To Enter Production In 2026

For years, Lexus has delivered on the precise and intuitive Lexus Driving Signature promise through electrification technology. The brand is committed to continuing to deliver Lexus’ distinctive craftsmanship through BEVs, creating vehicles that combine performance and beauty without compromise. The LF-ZC embodies this vision, standing as a symbol of Lexus’ electrifying journey. The LF-ZC is characterized by its elegant proportions, low center of gravity, spacious cabin, and expressive design that seamlessly blends functionality and aesthetics.

Next-generation Lexus BEVs will achieve more vehicle packaging by reducing all the basic components. This translates directly into driving performance, with the LF-ZC delivering engaging and exciting dynamics where driver and vehicle become one, utilizing the BEV’s superior aerodynamics and developing technology from the development of the Lexus RZ, as such seamless vehicle dynamic control and all-wheel drive system DIRECT4 and the natural, linear steering feel provided by Steer-by-Wire.

The improved Intelligent Cockpit features situational functionality where customers can access the services they need, when they need them, making it a control interface that enhances the driving experience in depth. The connection to the new interface of the software platform “Arene OS” allows constant updates of the work according to the developing times, including advanced security technology and multimedia features. For a personalized driving experience, the car becomes truly customer-friendly by adjusting key performance characteristics, such as acceleration and handling, to driver preferences through software-enabled hardware.

Using advanced AI technology, the next-generation voice recognition system gives customers a service experience similar to talking to an attentive and friendly bartender, thanks to its quick response to voice commands and cognitive suggestions. Going beyond the usual navigation features, it provides route and situation recommendations that match the driver’s preferences based on the patterns and conditions of their daily activities.

Throughout the interior, the bamboo CMF Concept (Colour, Material, Finish) represents Lexus’ unique sustainability efforts, focusing on the use of circular resources while offering a new value experience to customers through the interior design. In this way, Lexus explores the new possibilities of traditional materials through technology, combining the two principles of environmental and social sustainability, and elegant design.
