Lexus Unveils LF-ZC and LF-ZL Electric Vehicle Concepts Promising High Aerodynamic Efficiency and Improved Range
Lexus' LF-ZC and LF-ZL electric car concepts, showcased at the Tokyo Mobility Show, offer predictive range of about 620 miles, aerodynamic design, and advanced software features such as constant over-the-air updates and AI personal assistant, with production set for 2026.
- Lexus revealed two concept electric vehicles, LF-ZC and LF-ZL, at the Tokyo Mobility Show, based on the same next-generation platform and promising high efficiency and incredible aerodynamics.
- The LF-ZC features a highly aerodynamic teardrop shape to enhance the vehicle's efficiency, targeting a drag coefficient of less than 0.20, similar to the Lucid Air's.
- With the use of a new generation of prismatic cell in the battery pack, Lexus aims to achieve twice the range of current electric vehicles, aiming for about 620 miles on a single charge.
- The LF-ZC will feature a new piece of software called Arene OS that enables constant over-the-air updates, impacting every system within the car and helping the vehicle grow and stay current.
- Arene OS will also house an AI-powered voice-activated assistant called Butler, designed to assist drivers with tasks such as optimizing drive settings or media recommendations.
