The LF-NX previews Lexus' study that explores the potential for a premium mid-size crossover in the Lexus model range. The LF-NX is powered by a new variation of the Lexus Hybrid Drive full hybrid system, tuned for SUV performance. The aggressive 'decepticon like' styling reflects a further evolution of the L-finesse design language that influences the look of today's Lexus models.

The cars front facia is dominated by a dominating example of the spindle grille and a signature arrangement of the front lights. Like the new IS, the daytime running lights are given added visual emphasis by being positioned independent from the headlamps.

The LF-NX also displays a distinctive treatment of the front corners, which separate the bumper from the front wings with a sharp vertical cut line.

In profile, the LF-NX concept presents muscular wheel arches, edged with a black protective finish that expresses its urban crossover character. Above the pronounced diamond shape of the belt line, the side glazing is arranged in the classic Lexus profile, which works with the steep rake of the tailgate to create an athletic coupe-like silhouette.

At the rear the highly articulated lamp clusters project down the full depth of the bumper, creating a sharp, aerodynamic trailing edge to the vehicle that mirrors the detailing of the front wing design.

The cabin follows the 'Human Oriented' element of Lexus' L-finesse design, presenting a dashboard divided between an upper display zone and lower operation zone - a format perfected in successive generations of Lexus models. This enables intuitive interaction with the concept vehicle's next generation technology, including touchscreen switches and a new touchpad Remote Touch Interface design.
