Japanese luxury car maker Lexus will headline its 2008 Australian International Motor Show line-up wîth the LF-Xh performance hybrid SÚV concept. The LF-Xh made its debut at the Tokyo Motor Show last year and features a V6 petrol engine mated to a high-output electric motor hybrid system for sporty performance while staying environmentally friendly.
Designed by Lexus' Shuhei Miyashita, the concept aims to capture the essence of Lexus' unique L-Finesse design philosophy for an SÚV wîth an aggressive stance and edgy design featuring large LED headlamps, handleless doors and distinct blue hybrid badging.
Interior design has also been heavily influenced by Lexus' L-Finesse design language, featuring a large flowing centre console and wrap-around dashboard housing hybrid-inspired blue instruments.
Lexus Chief Executive John Roca said the Lexus stand at the 2008 Australian International Motor Show would be its biggest ever in Australia.
'In particular, the LF-Xh concept demonstrates our ongoing commitment to hybrid technology as a core Lexus power-train.'
'Lexus hybrid drive is a core strength for us. We have already incorporated it into several production models, and our intention is to continue to grow our hybrid vehicle line-up,' said Mr Roca.
'While others continue to talk about their moves to new power-train technologies, Lexus has been making it available to consumers in Australia since 2006,' said Roca.
