The Lexus brand has always been very close to the “green” evolution of cars, we recall the numerous hybrid models it has produced over the years. This year it will relaunch with an all-electric SUV.
2022 as predicted by industry experts last year will probably be remembered as a year in which mostly new electric cars arrived.

Among the brands that this year have decided to put emphasis on building completely green cars could not miss Lexus, Toyota’s department for the production of higher-end cars.

The autonomy of the vehicle it is 362 kilometers long, not many but not even few if compared to the competition numbers. The car, which shares the platform on which it is built with Toyota and Subaru, promises to focus everything on driving pleasure and could be one of the surprises most interesting of the year.
