We believe the LQ will inherit powertrains from the LS, which means there could be a traditional gasoline engine as well as a hybrid variant. We expect its starting price will be several thousand dollars more than the LS, which should put it at right around $80,000 when it eventually goes on sale. Lexus hasn't said how much the LQ will cost or what trim levels will be offered. While its design looks to be inspired by the LC sports car, it's expected to share a platform and powertrains with the LS sedan. It's expected to replace the outdated Lexus LX as the company's flagship SUV. There's still a lot left to learn about the 2022 LQ, but here's what we know so far.
Along with a traditional gasoline powertrain and the obligatory all-wheel-drive option, the upcoming crossover will probably be available with hybrid technology, too. While we can only speculate about the specifics, we think its styling will be both bold and elegant, and we expect it will ride on a rear-drive platform. That progressive Lexus was special because it helped set new expectations for what a premium sport utility vehicle could be, and the LQ looks to reestablish that precedent with an even more luxurious experience. It also wants 100% of its sales to be EVs in the U.S., Europe and China by that same date, and the rest of the world by 2035.Īdditional Lexus EVs previewed during Tuesday's presentation included an LFA-inspired supercar, a sedan, and a crossover larger than the RZ.The 2022 Lexus LQ is rumored to be a gorgeous luxury crossover that's intended to recapture the magic that the company had with its original RX SUV more than two decades ago.
The brand plans to have an EV option in each segment that it competes in by 2030.
The system is also claimed to respond quicker than non-electrified all-wheel-drive systems with torque vectoring because of the instantaneous torque of electric motors. Lexus calls its electrified all-wheel-drive system Direct4, and said the system automatically adjusts torque going to each of the wheels to optimize driving feel and stability. We do know that all-wheel drive is set to become a staple of Lexus EVs. There might also be more battery capacity than the 71.4 kilowatt-hours found in those non-luxury models. To help differentiate the RZ, expect Lexus to add performance tuning, particularly for the drive system which should deliver more than the maximum 214 hp offered in the BZ4X and Solterra.
