Design

The electric version is almost indistinguishable from the petrol one. The exception is that the ground clearance has decreased by 20 mm.

This is due to the fact that the electric car has become heavier up to 1900 kg due to the mass of the battery. And also a connector for high-speed charging appeared on the right.

And instead of the tank flap, a connector appeared for normal charging. The large front grille remains as a reminder of the petrol version.

The front and rear lights follow the lines of the Latin letter «L», thus hinting at the first letter in the brand name.

The salon is richly given with various buttons and switches. Many automakers strive to minimize such decoration, because it only confuses the driver. But Lexus decided not to deviate from the already familiar design and functional solutions.

A very modest multimedia system is located on the central panel. There is also a digital display on the dashboard.

It displays basic information on the movement: speed, battery charge, power reserve, and more. When turned on / off, the steering wheel extends and retracts to provide additional space.

As for the interior trim, it is very simple and no frills. The design of the rear row of seats is in many ways similar to the petrol version, which has a tunnel between the passengers.
