The 2019 Tokyo Motor Show that starts on October 23
for the international media and two days later for the public, will be ground
zero for several world premieres. One of them will be Lexus’ new
electric vehicle concept that was teased today ahead of an unveiling next
month. According to the initial announcement, the as-of-yet-unnamed show car is
an autonomous, battery-electric model.
Accompanying the short press release is a teaser
that casts a light on the front end of the car, which features large creases in
the front bumper, positioned under the slim headlamps with light animation that
flank the spindle grille.
It’s impossible to say with certainty what shape the
study has from this image, but at a first glance, it appears to have been
inspired by the LF-SA Concept presented in 2015. If
that’s the case, then we’re looking at a driver-oriented small hatchback with
seating for four, likely packed with new technologies, such as a crystalline
instrument panel with hologram display.
