据外媒最新报道，下一代雷克萨斯LS将提供燃料电池车型。车厂将于2016年发布下一代LS旗舰级车型，随后将在一年后推出燃料电池车型。该车定位将在600h混动版之上，采用取自Mirai FCV的氢燃料电池硬件。不过，为了适应LS更大的车身，丰田燃料电池系统预计体积更大。此外，为了能给氢动力电动系统提供更好的冷却性能，LS燃料电池车前脸的进气口将设计得更大，同时将在前排座椅下设置燃料电池组，而氢燃料储存罐有两个，分部设置在后排座椅和行李箱下面。2017款LS燃料电池车重量将达到2100公斤，配备150千瓦燃料电池组和220千瓦电机，车辆续航里程384公里。

 

Leuxs LS fuel cell vehicle coming in 2017?

A new report indicates the next generation Lexus LS will be offered as a fuel cell vehicle.

 

Lexus will introduce the next generation of its flagship model sometime in 2016 and a year later the LS could also gain a fuel cell derivative. It will sit above the 600h version and will use a hydrogen hardware setup derived from the recently introduced Mirai FCV. The Toyota Fuel Cell System (TFCS) is expected to grow in size to match the bigger dimensions and weight of the LS.

 

In addition, the front fascia of the LS fuel cell will boast bigger air intakes necessary to cool down the hydrogen-powered electric system while under the front seat there's going to be a fuel cell unit. A hydrogen tank will sit beneath the rear seats along with another tank placed under the trunk.

The 2017 Lexus LS FCV is estimated to weigh 2,100 kg (4,630 lbs) and will feature a 150 kW fuel cell stack along with a 220 kW electric motor which will provide the vehicle with a zero-emission range of 239 miles (384 km).
