World Premiere of the Lexus LF-NX Crossover Concept at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show

- Distinctive and sculpted styling
- 'Human Oriented' interior design with new, touch-sensitive instrumentation
- Highly efficient full hybrid powertrain

FRANKFURT, Germany, Sept. 4, 2013 - A new Lexus compact crossover concept, the LF-NX, will make its world premiere at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show (IAA). This concept explores the potential for a compact crossover within the Lexus model range.

Reinforcing Lexus' leading position in full hybrid drive technology, the LF-NX concept is powered by a new variant of the Lexus Hybrid Drive system tuned for SUV performance.

With its highly distinctive and powerfully sculpted styling, the LF-NX concept's exterior design reflects a further evolution of Lexus' L-finesse design language.

The front is dominated by a strong interpretation of the Lexus spindle grille, extremely expressive signature front lighting with independent Daytime Running Lights (DRL), and unique corner styling which separates the bumper from the front wing with an aggressive vertical cut.

In profile, muscular wheel arches are trimmed with the black protective finish which typifies an urban crossover. Above the pronounced diamond shape of the belt line, a classic Lexus side glazing profile and steeply raked tailgate create the sweeping silhouette of an athletic coupe.

The rear features highly articulated lamp clusters. They are detailed to project downwards to the full depth of the bumper, creating a sharp, aerodynamic trailing edge to the vehicle which mirrors the front wing detailing.

The Lexus LF-NX concept is finished in a new Brushed Metal Silver exterior colorwhich gives the striking impression that the bodyshell has been carved from a single piece of solid metal.

The interior mirrors the LF-NX's highly sculpted exterior with bold, powerful forms creating a driver-focused cockpit within an ergonomically ideal environment.

In a continuation of the 'Human Oriented' L-finesse design concept, the cabin features the ideal, upper display zone and lower operation zone dashboard format perfected over successive Lexus generations.

This allows for intuitive interaction with the vehicle's next generation technology, which includes touch-sensitive electrostatic switches, and a new touch pad Remote Touch Interface (RTI) design.

Reinforcing the LF-NX concept's premium crossover credentials, the strength and refinement of the interior's carved metal surfacing is complemented throughout by Sunrise Yellow / Black leather upholstery with contrast stitching, and sophisticated blue instrument lighting.

The Lexus press conference is scheduled on September 10 at 13:00 CET on the Lexus stand, Hall 8, Frankfurt Messe.

I think some will hate it but I think it looks real mean, like it could pass for that Ferrari SUV concept.
 
i would probably spend 20 minutes looking at that grill if i was not sober

too much going on on the exterior

I like the grill, it's pretty much an exaggerated and flared out Audi grill. I also liked it on the new IS, one of the few I guess.
 
I believe this will be a CUV, it should be smaller than the current RX since this is supposed to go head to head with the new GLA and X1 and likely the upcoming Macan.

I wouldn't want that optical illusion of a grill in my rear view.

that was my exact first reaction about the grill looking like an optical illusion.

look at it hard enough and you see a ship

it feels like cars have more room inside than these baby suv's..

Was never really a fan of wagons, always preferred hatchbacks.
 
And that is what I do not like in wagon, they are stretched out and long. I just don't like the look.
 
I'll keep the big daft orange dog in the garage...


This is the only big daft orange dog I want anyways :D

I think it is more sensible with a family, bigger cargo and all. Just has more utility and versatility. I mean what percentage actually go off-roading these days? My parents has a Highlander and they take that camping every year w/o any problem and that is a FWD SUV and I think that is the most extreme these SUVs/CUVs will endure and they are more than capable to that extent.

At the end of the day, I think it is the space more than anything. Most of these SUVs are becoming 7seaters now too and CUVs like Rav4 and CRVs continue to get bigger.

Granted, I've lived in rural Vermont, where you pretty much must have AWD or 4WD... I mean, my Cherokee got me home many nights when not much else would... and to be fair, the CLS I posted wouldn't survive there either... a WRX wagon on the other hand tho...
 
A WRX Impreza STI Hatch (not Outback) will get you there too and at a shorter time.
