Lexus officially confirmed that the first China-domestic production model in the brand's history will launch in 2027 - a pure-electric SUV developed exclusively for the Chinese market, built at Lexus's wholly owned plant in Jinshan, Shanghai. The move marks a strategic pivot by Toyota's premium brand toward localized electrification as it chases younger Chinese buyers who increasingly favor smart, software-defined NEVs from domestic challengers. It also signals deeper commitment by global premium brands to China's NEV supply chain and engineering talent.
