1. Lexus RC (world premiere)
With a 3.5-liter gasoline powertrain or a 2.5-liter hybrid powertrain, the Lexus RC is a sports coupe aiming to provide an engaging and exhilarating Lexus driving experience. The exterior styling is distinctive, with a sporty, dynamic side profile and a low-set wide stance. The RC also showcases unique Lexus design elements, with L-shaped rear combination lamps and headlamps inspired by the Lexus 'LFA' and 'LF-LC' sports models. Inside, the sports cockpit, with its horizontally accented instrument panel, is crafted with a focus on the unity of car and driver, and the seats are manufactured with a new "integrated foaming" process for exceptional fit.
2. Lexus LF-NX (first display of turbo-charged version)
The Lexus LF-NX, a next-generation luxury compact SUV crossover that made its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show earlier this year, has been outfitted with a newly-developed 2.0-liter turbo engine, guaranteeing superior driving and environmental performance. A lower center of gravity, emphasized by the front under spoiler, gives the turbo model a sportier look. The LF-NX cuts a lean profile, with its compact, sharp body and wide stance conveying SUV-unique power and exhilaration. Inside, the new remote touch interface with touchpad functionality provides a cutting-edge, user-friendly experience unique to Lexus.
