Lexus LF-SA Concept – first photos ahead of Geneva debut

The first photos of the Lexus LF-SA Concept – a new compact city car concept from Lexus – have leaked out ahead of its reveal at the Geneva Motor Show.

Earlier this month, Lexus teased a new compact city car concept – the Lexus LF-SA Concept – with a single close-up image of the front end, but now we have the first official photos – interior and exterior – thanks to a AutoWP publishing a bit ahead of the game.

The LF-SA Concept may be a first look at a new city car from Lexus – planned to slot in below the CT200h – but it’s far more show car frippery than production-ready, judging by the photos.

The aggressive styling – with huge statement grill, massive over-size wheels, huge wings and a styling ethos that makes the Nissan Juke look boring – seems clearly to be an extreme take on what Lexus has planned for a city car.

The interior is only slightly less over the top, with a cabin that looks to be devoid of buttons, a digital dashboard and a touchscreen on the centre console.

Probably planned on the Toyota Yaris chassis, the production version of the LF-SA will doubtless come with a hybrid powerplant of some description as well as downsized 3-cylinder engine options.

We’ll find out more on the Lexus LF-SA Concept early next week in Geneva.
