One of the biggest head-turners at the Auto Expo 2023 was the Lexus pavilion, where the luxury carmaker showcased the LF30 Electrified and the LF-Z Electrified concepts besides unveiling the all-new Lexus RX. Concept enthusiasts will recall the attention LF30 Electrified garnered when it was first showcased at the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show. The LF30 Electrified, with its massive glass cockpit, showcases the 'Lexus Teammate' automated driving technology that offers the driver and the occupants next-level comfort. The LF30 will also have in-wheel electric motors that deliver power to all four wheels. When it was first unveiled, a 110 kWh lithium-ion battery pack mounted beneath the car floor powered the vehicle's electric drive train.
