Lexus showcasing BEVs at Japan Mobility Show

A concept model lineup showcasing Lexus’ next-generation battery electric vehicles (BEVs) will be at the Japan Mobility Show in Tokyo, open to the public October 28 to November 5.

“Pushing the Boundaries of the Electrified Experience” is the Lexus theme, its first next-generation BEV scheduled for global introduction in 2026 as the brand transitions to BEV-only by 2035.

The Lexus stand will also feature a virtual reality driving simulator, allowing customers to experience the advanced driving feel of next-generation BEVs.

The stand will use bamboo materials throughout, combining traditional Japanese beauty with environmentally friendly, sustainable and functional elements.

Lexus chief branding officer Simon Humphries will lead the presentation of the concept model lineup on the first press day, Wednesday October 25.

Press days include October 26, part of special invitation days (October 26-27).

Toyota also has a booth at the show presenting the mobility society of tomorrow under the theme “Let’s Change the Future of Cars – Find Your Future”.

Stage performances will be held throughout the entire Toyota area, including music and dance and a chance to customise mobility vehicles and racing games with hand-operated controls.

The vehicle exhibits will embody Toyota’s “Mobility for All”, including the new model of the Century and the Crown series – displayed alongside machines that will evolve into the one-of-a-kind cars of tomorrow.

 A photo spot with Toyota’s lunar buggy and various other surprises are included.

The rear of a vehicle will be custom outfitted as a Capsule Bar, where visitors can answer simple questions to receive a toy gift.

Toyota is developing new technologies that enable drivers to control vehicles without gas or brake pedals, including in a standing position or from a wheelchair.

Details on specific exhibit vehicles will be released later, says Toyota.

Other automotive brands such as BMW, Daihatsu, Honda, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, and Suzuki will also be at the show.
