Starting with the newly unveiled electric car bZ4X, the manufacturer stated that it is ready to debut next year and is now looking forward to extending the bZ lineup series. It featured a midsize SUV with a sleek shape, which Toyota described as ushering in a new era for battery electric vehicles. In the series, there will also be a compact SUV with a tiny battery and a comfy cabin developed with Europe and Japan in mind.

Toyoda announced that Lexus would debut electric vehicles in all segments by 2030, become all-electric in Europe, North America and China by 2030, and eliminate combustion entirely by 2035.

In 2022, Lexus will introduce the RZ crossover, which will be based on the same e-TNGA architecture as the Toyota bZ4X and Subaru Solterra. Following that will come a whole line of electric vehicles, including a full-size SUV in the manner of the RX, an IS-sized saloon and a dedicated supercar, based on the ideas on display.

An all-electric midsize Toyota sedan and a huge electric SUV with three rows of seats are also in the works. Toyoda noted that the carmaker will not only offer battery-electric vehicle alternatives to existing vehicle models but will also introduce a whole array of economical mass-production vehicles, such as the bZ series, to appeal to a wide range of customers.
