Lexus to introduce all-electric vehicle by 2022

Lexus announced that the brand surpassed two million global sales of electrified vehicles at the end of April 2021. 

Since the launch of the RX400h in 2005, Lexus has been a pioneer of electrification in the luxury car market. Lexus' electrified vehicles provide a wide range of options tailored to meet the needs of all customers. 

Lexus currently sells nine electrified models, including Hybrid Electric Vehicles and Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) in over 90 countries and regions around the world. Its lineup is designed to deliver an optimal response to a varied range of energy sources and infrastructure environments all over the world. 

In Singapore, one in two of Lexus vehicles sold is an electrified vehicle. Lexus Singapore recently launched its all-electric Lexus UX300e, along with the debut of Kinto Share, an on-demand car-sharing programme for Lexus electrified vehicles. 

By 2025, Lexus will introduce 20 new or improved models, all of which will incorporate varying degrees of electrification. Carbon neutrality will be achieved by 2050 through the optimisation of its vehicles' life cycle, especially in the areas of component disposal and recycling.

Lexus plans to introduce its first plug-in hybrid model in 2021, and an all-new BEV model in 2022.

Future Lexus electrified models will feature DIRECT4 technology. DIRECT4, the brand's proprietary four-wheel drive torque distribution technology, combines highly-precise drive control with responsive steer-by-wire systems, greatly enhancing vehicle dynamics.
