Lexus LF-ZC
The new Lexus concept vehicles embody the design concept known as 'Provocative Simplicity,' signifying an evolution of Lexus' distinct identity. This design approach prioritizes aerodynamics and the integration of unique functional and structural elements specific to BEVs. With a streamlined silhouette that starts at the low-profile hood and narrows towards the rear cabin, the pronounced rear wheel arches are emphasized, striking a balance between exceptional aerodynamic performance and a wide, stable stance.
The spindle body design seamlessly extends from the front face and continues along the door sides and rear bumper, creating a unified look. Functional aspects have been ingeniously transformed into distinctive design elements by incorporating aerodynamic features like air intakes and outlets.

Interior
Inside the vehicle, positioning the front occupants in a lower and more forward stance creates a feeling of spaciousness within the interior. It boasts a completely flat floor and panoramic roof. Multiple functions that were previously distributed across a broad area of the cockpit have now been centralized onto a digital pad. This digital pad on the left houses controls for vehicle functions like shifting, ADAS, and drive mode selection. Meanwhile, the right digital pad is dedicated to convenience features such as music, climate control, phone, and AI functions. The car features a setback meter display that projects information onto the front windshield, employing a similar concept to a Head-Up Display (HUD). Additionally, digital mirrors are installed on both sides of the vehicle.
