Toyota had a busy day by previewing several new electric vehicles all arriving by the end of the decade, including a sports car<\/a>, a three-row SUV, and spiritual successor to the FJ Cruiser. Not only that, but its luxury brand Lexus also offered a first glimpse at what it plans to roll out in the coming years in regard to vehicles that will do away with the combustion engine.<\/p>\n

We are excited to see an early preview of the LFA supercar’s spiritual successor taking the shape of a two-door performance coupe with a purely electric powertrain. Lexus has said it’s targeting a sprint to 62 mph (100 km\/h) from a standstill in a little over two seconds. The engineering team has not ruled out solid-state batteries, which would give the athletic EV a driving range of over 700 kilometers (435 miles).<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Lexus has removed the camouflage from the RZ<\/a>, a dedicated electric crossover serving as a more premium alternative to the Toyota bZ4X, which itself is mechanically related to the Subaru Solterra<\/a>. It’s scheduled to go on sale in 2022 and should have similar technical specifications combined with an oh-so-familiar design and a more upmarket interior cabin.<\/p>\n

But wait, there’s more. Lexus is also providing a first look at a low-slung, four-door electric sedan reminding us of the Porsche Taycan<\/a> or Audi E-Tron GT. A large three-row SUV is also on the agenda, and the extended EV family will apparently include a wagon and even a four-seat convertible. However, these two body styles likely don’t rank high on the list of priorities since the crossovers and SUVs have far bigger potential in terms of volume.<\/p>\n

Lexus aims to offer EVs in all segments of the market by 2030 when it will become a purely electric brand in North America, Europe, and China. Just five years later, there won’t be any models left with a combustion engine in the company’s global lineup.<\/p>\n
