At a recent Lexus Showcase event, the Japanese carmaker announced very exciting news about a “revolutionary” new EV. In 2026, the company plans to introduce an EV featuring the company’s next-gen battery technology, a new modular platform, a new software platform, and completely new production methods.
The model will be unveiled for the first time next month at the Japan Mobility Show to drum up excitement. The company has been dropping hints at what its next major EV will be for a while now, and we have a feeling it’s going to be a luxurious competitor to the Porsche Taycan.
During Toyota’s 2022 financial recap meeting earlier this year, the company very briefly showed off images of a radical-looking Lexus EV. The four-door coupe shown is striking and features a Lexus badge on the C-pillar. It was only shown for a couple of slides, but it’s hard not to think this is next in the EV pipeline.
