Lexus to showcase their LF-NX Concept at Tokyo this year

Lexus officially confirmed to be bringing their Lexus LF-NX Concept from Frankfurt to the Tokyo Motor Show this year.

This may not sound like news, but Lexus is not a brand sold in Japan’s domestic market since all of Lexus’ models are sold as Toyotas on their home turf. However, for the first time, Lexus will be selling their vehicles branded as Lexus in Japan to test market interest.

Don’t forget, Lexus was established as an American brand designed specifically to cater to the at-the-time, largest automobile market in the world—the US market—who are obviously obsessed with luxury.

The Lexus LF-NX concept, which made its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show earlier this year, has been outfitted with a newly-developed 2.0-liter turbo engine for guaranteed power and improved fuel economy.

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 bold tires conveying SUV-unique power and an exciting drive. Inside, the new remote touch interface with touchpad functionality provides an advanced, user-friendly experience unique to Lexus.
