The centre console includes wireless charging, cup holders, gear selector, and touch-based climate controls. Lexus has also provided ventilated seats and powered ottomans for first and second-row passengers to improve comfort during long journeys.
The second and third-row seats can fold electrically, creating up to 2,017 litres of luggage space. Even with all seats up, the SUV offers 290 litres of boot space.
Other premium features include a panoramic sunroof, 21-speaker Mark Levinson sound system, and three-zone climate control.
The larger battery version delivers a claimed driving range of up to 530 km on a single charge. Lexus has also confirmed that the top-spec model can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.4 seconds, making it one of the quickest luxury electric SUVs in its segment.
The SUV supports DC fast charging up to 150 kW, allowing the battery to charge from 0 to 80 percent in around 35 minutes.
