The 'Lexus Electrified' "targets a fundamental leap in vehicle performance, handling, control and driver enjoyment - even as mobility within our society continues to change with autonomous driving and vehicle electrification," it added.

As a next-generation BEV, LF-30 uses wireless charging technology to simplify daily charging, and AI-based energy management to enable optimal distribution of electric power to both the vehicle and the home, and charging control coordinated.

The company further said the new concept embodies the vision of Lexus' electrification.

"Futuristic exterior foreshadows the Lexus Electrified vehicles towards 2030," it said.

Lexus plans to unveil its first BEV (battery electric vehicle) in November 2019, broadening its response to the needs of various regions around the world.

As per a statement, Lexus will have available electrified versions of all Lexus vehicle models by 2025.
