Xu Hehou, design director of Lexus, said that Lexus's signature spindle? The spindle-shaped front face design of the grille will also change, but the spindle-shaped design will not disappear completely. It represents the character of the car and the family style of Lexus.
First, take the prototype based on the current ES as an example. DIRECT4 electric drive technology will give products based on the exclusive platform of electric vehicles two different characteristics. First, compared with the traditional four-wheel drive pure electric vehicle front and rear axle motors and the E-Four electronic four-wheel drive system previously released by REV4, this technology can realize the conventional 50: 50 front and rear power distribution, and can be adjusted to 20: 80 at the same time, thus becoming a four-wheel drive vehicle with rear drive characteristics. However, it is worth noting that the rear axle motor of DIRECT4 is not used as auxiliary power.
Direct4 adopts E-axis design on the front axle and rear axle (hybrid rear axle only), and integrates a set of high torque output motors and drive axles respectively. Through system upgrade and real-time power distribution of on-board computer, the effect of zero output delay is achieved. Lexus said that Direct4 not only brings more flexible dynamic control, but also has the effect of reducing noise and improving comfort.
In addition, another SUV prototype is pure electric drive, and the output power and torque of the front and rear axle motors are150 kW+300 N m respectively. At present, foreign media have speculated that this camouflage car may be a new Lexus model-LQ. The new car is based on LF- 1? The Limitless concept car is built, positioned between the current RX and LX, and is planned to be introduced to the market in 2022.
Lexus has synchronized the Direct4 four-wheel drive technology, which is different from the E-Four four-wheel drive technology currently used in hybrid models. The introduction of Direct4 technology will give Lexus more driving pleasure for future hybrid and pure electric vehicles. The key point is that this technology can be used for HEV hybrid, PHEV plug-in hybrid, BEV pure electric and FCEV hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle at the same time.
