LEXUS_LF-SAToyota started its Lexus division by challenging the Mercedes S-Class with its full-size LS400 sedan. Now with an expansive lineup of hatchbacks, SUVs, and sedans, the Japanese premium carmaker has released a subcompact concept at the Geneva motor show.

 

Called the LF-SA, the stubby hatchback is a mere 3400mm long, 1700mm wide and 1430mm high. The entire car is barely 300mm longer than the LS 600h L sedan’s wheelbase. Lexus says this is the “kind of compact packaging that is essential for genuine city car manoeuvrability and agility.” The styling still follows the brand’s L-finesse design, with highly sculpted surfacing.The infamous gaping spindle grille. The car is finished in a Stellar Silver exterior paint, referencing space exploration.

The passenger seat slides forward to allow rear seat access. The information system uses hologram-style digital display with head-up display.
