Lexus LF-Xh concept

Lexus plans to display two concept vehicles at the 40th Tokyo Motor Show next week. The LF-Xh SUV will make its first global appearance alongside the subtly revised LF-A premium sports car concept first unveiled at the 2005 Detroit Motor Show.

Measuring 4.8-meters in length, the LF-Xh is a specialty SUV based on the Lexus design philosophy of L-finesse. A taut shoulder line accentuates the vehicle's flanks, while a sharp shoulder line separates the DLO - with glass roof - from the lower section of the vehicle. By combining a powerful and sculpted body with an elegant interior, Toyota's luxury division is aiming to give this next-generation SUV a dynamic look and feel.

The show car is powered by the latest "Lexus Hybrid Drive" system, which, according to the automaker, 'features a sophisticated fusion of superior environmental and power performance'. The all-wheel drive LF-Xh is powered by both a V6 gasoline engine and a high-output electric motor, claimed to achieve outstanding driving performance, quiet operation, high fuel-efficiency and low emissions.
