Despite not being an official sketch, the design and line of this possible Toyota pickup under the Lexus brand could well become a reality and surprise the market.
A new Toyota pick up breaks into social networks. This is not a new generation or special edition of a Hilux, Tacoma or Tundra but of a possible van that could be produced after different interviews given by the main person responsible for lexusthe Premium brand of a Japanese group.
And after the launch of the SUV GX At the end of last year, rumors of a Toyota pickup with the logo, the imprint and everything that each Lexus vehicle is used to offering the user could come true.
Lexus GX Truck, the future Toyota pickup that aims for Premium?
The market is coming at a steady pace with the revolution of electric vehicles, which is linked to the growing fanaticism of most markets for crossovers, SUVs and recently, pickup trucks. Even Toyota, now under new leadership at all levels, does not want to completely join the “zero emissions” wave, since its plans do not plan to leave aside combustion vehicles.
Meanwhile, the luxury division Lexus, belonging to the Japanese group, is increasingly investing in battery-powered electrification. For example, they already have for sale PHEV NX and RXthe latter will soon be joined by the new hybrid TX and the first plug-in hybrid on the US market.
Rumors recently emerged after different statements by the president of Lexus International, Takashi Watanabethat the premium automaker could top all these offers with something never before offered by the terminal: an electric van.
This is a very bold initiative on the part of the brand, but also completely logical, especially if it focuses on the North American region and a good part of the south, since a Toyota pickup with the logo and everything it means Lexus could be devastating for American women Ford, Chevrolet and RAM.
There, near-premium EV pickups are already taking flight on the sales charts, mainly thanks to the Ford F-150 Lightningthe GMC Hummer EV, or the new armada with the Tesla Cybertruck and Rivian R1T. And the market does not stop, since GM has just launched the Chevy Silverado EVis planning a GMC Sierra EV and RAM will present the 1500 REV.
Naturally, this idea of a Toyota pickup with the Lexus logo has been attracting a lot of attention from everyone, including the imaginative scope of digital automobile content creators. Neither slow nor lazy, amateur designers began to work their magic, and one of them comes from the hand of Kleber Silvaresponsible for the images that we show you in this note.
In the unofficial imagination, this could be the “workhorse” of Lexus based on a Toyota pickup. Based on the latest Tacoma, it is added A very Lexus front, modern, with a large grille and reduced optics. The side changes little or nothing and only the wheels take the basis of the luxury brand’s SUVs.
Further back, a ribbed gate, the company logo in a shy blue color and a body color bumpers. Below you can see the prominent exhaust outlet with chrome tip.
Although its recipe is simple, the result is very interesting. It would be necessary to see what segment Lexus is interested in and if it would use a platform from a Toyota pickup or take that of current SUVs. At the moment, everything is a real unknown.
