Lexus has officially teased its new crossover concept, the LF-1, ahead of its official unveil at the 2018 Detroit Auto Show. Lexus has not revealed much about the new SUV but, in a statement, the manufacturer said, “The Lexus LF-1 Limitless is a flagship crossover that redefines the boundaries of luxury."
From the single image released, the crossover looks quite sporty and edgy. The rear looks coupe-like and sports a split spoiler along with taillamps running across the top half of the tailgate. The blue Lexus insignia visible in the picture is a clear indication of the new SUV being a hybrid.
Currently, the LX is Lexus’ flagship SUV and has been around for a long time. Based on a ladder-on-frame chassis, the LX is basically a Toyota Land Cruiser with altered front and rear profiles. This leaves Lexus with no SUV of its own except for the RX and the NX, which are crossovers. The LF-1, being a crossover will sit above the RX. After launching the the LF-1 in the global market, Lexus might come up with a LX replacement based the LF-1. That said, there is no word from the manufacturer on the same.
Being the flagship SUV, the production-spec LF-1 is expected to borrow its powertrain from Lexus’ flagship sedan, the 2018 LS 500h which is powered by a 3.5-litre V6 petrol engine and two electric motors. Combined, they generate 354PS of power.
If produced, the LF-1 will go up against SUVs like the BMW X6, Range Rover Autobiography and the Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe.
