The interior of the LF-ZC continues the futuristic theme of the exterior with a cabin that has a yoke instead of a steering wheel and a giant screen that sits in front of the passenger. The driver has a much smaller instrument cluster behind the yoke. Those are backed up by the latest developments in the AI sector from Lexus, as well as a next-generation voice recognition system.<\/p>\n
The two systems provide route and mode recommendations that align with the driver’s preferences by considering their daily activity patterns and mood, the automaker says. The company also puts emphasis on the so-called Bamboo CMF concept, which in translation is an approach to using sustainable materials throughout the cabin.<\/p>\n
If you are still reading this article, we know you are here for the tech details. Unfortunately, Lexus doesn\u2019t provide information regarding the battery size and type, as well as specs about the electric powertrain. The firm, however, says the concept uses \u201cnext-generation prismatic high-performance batteries,\u201d which should provide about twice the range of \u201cconventional\u201d battery electric vehicles that are currently on sale.<\/p>\n
We don\u2019t know what a conventional EV means for Lexus but that is a rather promising statement. The targeted Cd value of below 0.2 should probably help a lot, too. We will have to wait until 2026 when the production version will arrive to find out whether those promises will be fulfilled. Until then, we are glad that Lexus is finally looking more seriously into the future of electric mobility.\u00a0<\/p>\n
