He kaʻa uila i kūpono i ke kuko? ʻO ka mea hou Lexus IS e hiki mai ana ke keiki a Nissan Skyline GT-S a me Tesla Model 3
Tesla Model 3 E makaʻala: ʻO ka manaʻo Lexus Electrified Sedan i manaʻo ʻole ʻia e hāʻawi i kahi ʻike o ka 2025 Lexus IS EV.
Inā makemake ʻoe i ka Lexus IS a hoʻohoka ʻia ʻaʻole i loaʻa hou kēia moʻo ma Australia, a laila aia kahi kukui ʻālohilohi ma ka hope o ka tunnel, a ʻōlelo ʻo Lexus i kahi pani o nā ʻano i nā pae hoʻolālā o ka huahana. no 2025.
ʻO ka mea hou aʻe, ʻaʻole like me ke kumu hoʻohālike o ka hanauna ʻehā i hoʻopau ʻia, ʻo ia hoʻi, ʻoiai he mana i hoʻolālā hou ʻia o kāna mea i hana mua ʻia i ka makahiki 2013, manaʻo ʻia ka mea pani e hana hou ʻia ma ke ʻano he kaʻa uila maʻemaʻe.
Ke nānā aku nei i ka Tesla Model 3, Polestar 2 a me ka Hyundai Ioniq 6 e hiki mai ana ma waena o nā kaʻa uila sedan ʻē aʻe a mākou i ʻike ʻole ai, ʻo ka IS aʻe e manaʻo ʻia he hana hoʻokō o ka manaʻo Lexus Electrified Sedan. hōʻike ʻia ma Dekemaba.
Hoʻokumu ʻia ma ke kahua modular holomua ma ka puʻuwai o ka bZX4 SUV hou o Toyota, ua manaʻo ʻia ka midsize electric sedan e lilo i ʻāpana o ka $100 biliona hoʻokele kaʻa uila a Toyota, e ʻike ai i nā kaʻa uila hou 30 i hoʻokuʻu ʻia e 2030.
Ke hoʻomaka nei nā kūkākūkā e pili ana i nā mea e hoʻomohala ʻia e hoʻololi i ka laulā kaulana o ka ʻāina o nā sedans midsize, e like me ka luna nui o Lexus Australia ʻo John Pappas.
"Aloha ʻo Aussies i ka IS," i haʻi aku ai ʻo ia i ka media Australia ma ka wehe ʻana o ka lua o ka lua o ka lua o ka Lexus NX mid-size SUV ma Melbourne ma mua o kēia mahina. "A ʻike mākou i ka ulu maikaʻi loa i ka makahiki i hala me IS, no laila he mea nui ka IS iā mākou.
"Akā ke hana luhi nei mākou me Lexus International ma ka waihona huahana e hiki mai ana…
"He kaʻa maikaʻi loa ka IS no mākou a makemake nā mea kūʻai aku. No laila e hoʻomau mākou i ka nānā ʻana i ka hoʻolālā huahana me kā mākou mea hoʻolālā huahana e pili ana i ke ʻano o ia mea. ʻAʻole hiki iaʻu ke hōʻoia. Akā, he mea hoihoi loa ia iā mākou. "
Ke hele nei ma ka Lexus Electrified Sedan manaʻo, ʻo ka IS e hiki mai ana e hoʻopaʻa maoli i kona mau manaʻo no kahi sedan haʻuki, me nā poʻo huila nui, nā ʻūhā muscular, kahi laina sloping, nā puka ihu a me ka ihu chiseled redolent o nā kiʻi Iapana i hala e like me Nissan R34 Skyline kupaianaha. GT. -R V-spec.
Hōʻike nā hōʻike mai Iapana e hahai ka 2025 IS EV i ka mold Tesla ma o ka hāʻawi ʻana i kahi kaʻa kaʻa kaʻa hope a me ke koho kaʻa holo kaʻa ʻelua ʻoiai ke nānā nei ʻo Lexus e hoʻonui i ka kūleʻa ʻole o ka Model 3. ʻO kona kūlana ʻo ia. ʻO ke kaʻa uila kūʻai maikaʻi loa i ka mōʻaukala he mea kupaianaha loa ia no ka mea ua hele nā sedans i waho o ke ʻano e makemake ai i nā SUV a me nā crossovers.
Ma ke kamaʻilio ʻana, ʻo ka IS e hiki mai ana e hahai i ka Lexus RZ EV SUV, e hana ʻia i loko o ke ʻano hana i ka hapa lua o kēia makahiki a hoʻokuʻu ʻia ma Australia i ka makahiki aʻe a i ʻole 2024, ka hana a me nā mea paʻa hana honua. hiki.
ʻOiai ʻo ka IS kekahi o nā hiʻohiʻona ʻōpio loa i ka lineup Lexus, a me kekahi o nā mea hoʻomanaʻo maikaʻi loa a me ka hoihoi (ma mua o ka LFA) me nā mana e like me ka BMW M3 IS F haʻuki sedan. 'a'ole makemake e ho'onele i ka inoa i ho'okumu 'ia ma ke 'ano he 'ano Kepani no ka Series 3. ʻAʻole hiki koke mai ka makahiki 2025.
I kēia manawa, ua'ōlelo houʻo Mr. Pappas eʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka ES no ka poʻe kūʻai e nānā ana e kūʻai iʻekolu pahu Lexus sedan,ʻoiai ināʻo kona hoʻonohonoho kaʻa kaʻa kaʻa mua ke kū'ē pono i ka mea a IS i kākoʻo ai no nā makahiki he 23 i hala.
"Mai kahi manaʻo hoʻololi, ʻo ka IS he sedan haʻuki," wahi āna. "No ka laʻana, he sedan maikaʻi ka ES, akā loaʻa iā mākou ka F Sport, no laila e ʻike mākou i kekahi o kēlā mau mea kūʻai aku o ka IS sporty e neʻe i (ʻo ia)."
E like me ka mea i hōʻike mua ʻia, ua hoʻopau ʻia ka laina IS i ka hopena o 2021 ma Australia, me nā ʻano hiʻohiʻona ʻē aʻe e like me Lexus ponoʻī RC coupe a me CT hybrid hatchback, ma muli o kā lākou hoʻokō ʻole ʻana i nā lula palekana hou i hoʻokō ʻia i Nowemapa. i ka makahiki aku nei. , akā ʻaʻole i hoʻokō ʻia ma nā wahi ʻē aʻe o ka honua.
ʻO ke ʻano kikoʻī, uhi ʻia ka ADR (Australian Design Rule) 85/00 i ka hoʻāʻo pole-side crash test hou a kēia mau hiʻohiʻona Lexus kahiko e hakakā ai no ka hoʻokō ʻana i nā koi homologation e hiki mai ana.
Ma nā mākeke ʻē aʻe, hoʻomau ka IS o kēia manawa a manaʻo ʻia e hoʻomau ʻia a hiki i kahi pani EV i kekahi manawa i 2025 a i kēia makahiki.
E ʻike i kēia wahi!
