When the unique Lexus LS launched in 1989, it was an absolute game-changer. The general high quality, luxurious and efficiency of that automobile mainly reset the automobile trade’s expectations of what a flagship luxurious automobile could possibly be. So when Lexus makes use of that individual F-word, I have a tendency to concentrate. Meet the Lexus LF-ZL, a preview of the following Lexus flagship to return – and this one’s electrical.
The LF-ZL is one among two electrical ideas Lexus unveiled on the Japan Mobility Present as we speak, the opposite being the LF-ZC Idea, which is headed to manufacturing in 2026. Of the 2, we all know quite a bit much less concerning the LF-ZL (together with what its identify stands for) besides that it “represents a future Lexus flagship luxurious mannequin, aiming to supply a prestigious possession expertise past simply the automobile.” And at 5,100mm (208 inches) lengthy, it is even larger than the present Lexus LX SUV.

We do know that just like the LF-ZC, it makes use of the brand new Arene OS software program suite for OTA updates and superior AI options. It additionally places a premium on inside house – one thing engine-free automobiles have barely begun to discover – and calmness contained in the cabin.
Amongst different highlights, in keeping with Lexus: combining information from maps and automobile cameras with AI, to offer drivers and passengers alike a larger diploma of details about what is going on on exterior the automobile. “When drivers level to things or locations of curiosity throughout their journey, the automobile’s show promptly delivers data together with voice steering, enabling the automobile to boost the connection between occupants and their environment,” Lexus stated.
Will we see extra of this factor? Lexus stated nothing concerning the LF-ZL going to manufacturing but, and Simon Humphries, Head of Toyota and Lexus World Design, instructed InsideEVs it is only a idea. However Lexus remains to be tossing the “flagship” phrase round, so I doubt we have seen the final of the LF-ZL.
