Lexus Goes on the Road Less Travelled With a Mystery Vehicle

Lexus is taking a drive in its new bronze colored, off road dune buggy on the road less travelled.  The new vehicle, dubbed the Off-Highway Recreational Vehicle concept, is powered by hydrogen.  Not only is the new hydrogen dune buggy unique for Lexus.  So too is the hydrogen powertrain that powers it.  Lexus is using compressed hydrogen to fuel an internal combustion engine.  The vehicle is not equipped with the traditional hydrogen fuel cell and electric motor.  Parent company Toyota has been experimenting with this new hydrogen technology for several years and has incorporated it into the new Lexus dune buggy.

Lexus Innovation Mystery Vehicle

Lexus disclosed the existence of this mystery concept dune buggy/recreational vehicle (RV) at the end of a video announcing its all new 2022 LV SUV.  Interest in the RV vehicle has caught fire.  The off-roader is edgy, stylish and capable of taking on deep puddles, muddy inclines and very uneven terrain. Lexus executives say the, as yet unnamed, hydrogen dune buggy will allow drivers to explore the outdoors, enjoy off-roading and do so with zero emissions.  Water is the only byproduct of its hydrogen powered engine.

Why Such a Mystery?

Lexus is definitely teasing this new hydrogen RV concept and testing the waters for consumer interest globally.  Out of the box, global automotive experts and automotive journalists are intrigued.  The new RV is rugged but stylish with a mini-spindle grille, L-shaped LED headlights, exposed suspension components and a LED light bar on the roof.  The tires are big and chunky for off-roading.  Lexus hasn't disclosed when or if they will take their new hydrogen, off-highway RV to market.  But for now it certainly is a unique technology platform to showcase Lexus innovation in many directions.
