Lexus Plans To Cash In On Electric Car Movement With New Model In 2026

Lexus is reportedly planning to launch a new all-electric model by 2026 in a bid to cash in on demand for such vehicles.

While recently speaking with members of the media, current Lexus chief and future Toyota president Koji Sato revealed that Lexus will lead the automaker’s battery-electric vehicle transformation, Nikkei Asia reports.

“We aim to develop a next-generation battery EV in the Lexus brand in which everything from batteries and platforms to the way the car is built will be optimized for BEVs,” Sato revealed. “To deliver appealing BEVs, we need to drastically change the way we do business, from manufacturing to sales and service, with a BEV-first mindset. Lexus will lead this transformation.”
