- All-New LS Flagship Sedan takes center stage in Detroit
- UX Concept with 3-D Human Machine Interface makes first North American appearance
DETROIT, January 5, 2017 –
#lexus will debut a new
#auto show exhibit in Detroit’s Cobo Center at the 2017 North American International
#auto Show, which takes place January 8-22. The new
#design showcases the
#lexus brand’s hallmark craftsmanship, quality and safety while giving visitors an immersive experience.
The all-new, fifth-generation 2018 LS flagship sedan, making its world debut in
#detroit, takes center stage. This platform reconnects the LS with its birthplace – the first LS premiered in
#detroit in 1989, which also heralded the debut of the
#lexus brand, a significant milestone in
#automotive history. The LS has gone on to make its mark in the luxury segment by offering ride performance, quietness and comfort that consumers expect from a premium vehicle.
Now, 28 years later, the 2018 LS boasts a bold new look with a coupe-like silhouette that does not compromise interior roominess plus visionary technology. It will be built on an extended version of the company’s all-new global architecture for luxury vehicles (GA–L) premium rear-wheel drive platform—shared with the LC—for a more dynamic experience on the road.
Following its appearance at the Paris Motor Show in September, a new
#lexus compact crossover concept vehicle, the
#uxconcept featuring the new Kinetic Seat concept, will make its first North American appearance.
The UX Concept is a new variety of four-seater crossover which contrasts the appearance and 4x4 presence of an off-roader with a low ground clearance and a coupe-like driving position. The exterior bodywork flows into the interior cabin as the innovative 3-D Human Machine Interface brings car and driver closer than ever before. The distinctive seats are the first
#design interpretation of the
#lexus Kinetic Seat Concept, the latest in breakthrough seat technology.
The Kinetic Seat Concept
#design story will be featured, showing how the seat cushion and back rest can move kinetically with occupant weight and external forces providing a more comfortable driving experience.
The 18,120 sq. ft.
#lexus exhibit features 14 vehicles on display, including the return of the LC performance coupe that was one of the “must-see” debut vehicles of last year’s
#detroit show. The LC, which goes on sale in 2017, represents a significant illustration of Lexus’ dedication to create cars with exciting, emotional designs and exhilarating performance.
