The Electrifying News
Toyota is revving its engines and charging ahead with exciting plans for two new electric SUVs based on its beloved RAV4 and the iconic Land Cruiser. Yes, you read that right! The automaker is about to swap a luxury Lexus model for these electrifying machines as it shifts gears in its production strategies.
Changing Course: Kentucky Bound!
For months, whispers of Toyota’s transition to electric SUVs have been circulating, and the automaker has finally confirmed it plans to produce two all-new, three-row battery electric SUVs right here in the good ol’ US of A. Initially bound for the plants in Princeton, Indiana, it seems the production line has taken a turn for Kentucky, where both the RAV4 and Land Cruiser EVs will be assembled.
Goodbye Lexus, Hello Electric Future!
Sources reveal that these electrifying newcomers will put the luxurious Lexus ES sedan out to pasture, at least for now. Instead, the next-gen Lexus ES will be made in Japan, packed up, and shipped to the States. It’s a fascinating shuffle, but don’t worry—Toyota assures us this move isn’t tied to the recent auto tariffs.
As part of its electric dreams, Toyota plans to unveil an impressive lineup of seven new electric models in the US by mid-2027. With new electrifying contenders like the updated BZ electric SUV making its way to American dealerships, fans of eco-friendly driving—it seems—we’re just warming up for an exciting ride ahead!
