This year marks the arrival of two new landmark Lexus models: the all-new RX large luxury SUV and the RZ 450e, a new all-electric SUV.
The RX is a core global model for Lexus and the new generation line-up will include a first plug-in hybrid version and a performance-focused model that uses a new parallel hybrid electric powertrain (below).
The RZ 450e is the first Lexus to be built on a new platform dedicated to electric vehicles and features front and rear e-Axles with an innovative DIRECT4 all-wheel drive torque control system.
ES updates
The ES saloon (above) range has been updated for the 2023 model year with the introduction of Lexus’ new multimedia system and other new-tech features.
Lexus is introducing a world-first technology in combining an electronic door release– e-latch – with a safety system, Safe Exit Assist, that helps prevent doors being opened into the path of cyclists or other vehicles approaching from the rear.
