Toyota’s luxury car logo, Lexus, has reportedly unveiled a new logo that may imply that a new electric vehicle (EV) is on the horizon.
Carscoops reports that Lexus has introduced the RZ 450th in the United States, Europe and Australia.
There are some theories about what the new vehicle will look like, but nothing has yet been shown.

Carscoops believes it will be a type of SUV or crossover, as there are two cars in lexus diversity starting with “R”: the RC Coupe and the RX crossover.
Because suV demand is much higher than that of coupes, it is more likely to be a component of Lexus’ line of high-performance crossovers.
Lexus Fan Lexus Enthusiast says the “Z” component suggests it’s a completely new vehicle, not just a review of another vehicle’s platform.
As with a Trademark of Jaguar for an all-electric F-Type, the suffix “e” suggests that this vehicle will have an electric transmission.
The company’s first battery-powered vehicle (BEV), the UX 300th, unveiled this year, is built on one of the company’s existing combustion engine platforms.
Although Lexus has recently entered the BEV game, it is no stranger to operating with component-powered transmissions via batteries.
In 2005, Lexus brought its first hybrid, the RX 400h, which was a world-class SUV. And let’s not say Lexus belongs to Toyota, the manufacturer of the revolutionary Prius.
So far, Toyota has resisted the transition to all-electric vehicles. Last year alone, he announced that he would be releasing six BEVs until 2025. Even if he’s a little behind for the party, he has the technical knowledge to do them justice.
