Two New Concept Vehicles - 1st Hydrogen Vehicle

At the Tokyo Auto Salon 2022 show, Lexus introduced two, new off-roading concepts.  The NX PHEV offroad concept SUV is a rugged, large crossover that has a plug-in powertrain. with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. Lexus, which is Toyota's luxury brand, also officially unveiled its hydrogen powered ROV.  These side-by-side vehicles are designed for adventurous off-roaders who enjoy travelling the road less traveled with zero or very low emissions.

NX PHEV Concept

Lexus says these two new concepts are representative of its goals to expand travel choices for customers and simultaneously work toward a carbon free society with zero emissions driving. The NX PHEV offers both BEV (battery electric vehicle) and PHEV (plug-in hybrid vehicle) modes.  It is built on a new platform, making it wider, taller and longer than the first generation NX.  It has an EPA-estimated 36-mile range on electric power only.  It has large all-terrain tires for off-roading.  The company says it performs very well on regular highways.

ROV Hydrogen Concept

The ROV is Lexus first hydrogen car. It is compact and can access terrain that larger, off-road vehicles cannot.  The ROV (recreational off-highway vehicle) is designed for recreational driving.  Lexus says the vehicle is in harmony with nature.  It is powered by hydrogen and there are no emissions. ROV and NX PHEV are at the vanguard of Lexus' new vision of the future of driving, fully in harmony with nature.  To take a look at many more fascinating vehicles under development, go to https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asin=B08S958SBV&preview=newtab&linkCode=kpe&ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_5V4RHE6Z3B8QYNQJ7TQ1
