Étiquette : LF-NX

The huge grille at the front is a signature that we will see more and more from Lexus. The DRLs are separated from the headlamps and a vertical opening separates the bumper from the wing — or fender if you prefer. There are a lot of changes on the surfaces and planes somewhat like a stealth fighter…  but this is not a stealth car, you would surely see it coming.

On the other hand, the interior looks more controlled. Some metal surfacing highlighted by blue instrument lighting give this concept a futuristic look. The black and orange leather makes it look luxurious too. The designers have also worked on the user experience with touch-sensitive electrostatic switches and touchpad interface.
