THE LF-SA CONCEPT
We challenged our European design studio to create a concept of an ultra-compact, urban 2+2. The result is the driver-focused concept car that encapsulates both the spirit of weekend adventure and everyday city driving - SA stands for Small Adventurer.
The LF-SA Concept is an audacious interpretation of the brand's L-finesse design philosophy, while never losing sight of sheer driving pleasure.
The LF-SA Concept explores a future in which Lexus drivers will still be able to enjoy the 'luxury' of getting behind a wheel and driving themselves, whilst enjoying the ultimate in on-board connectivity, infotainment and safety.
BOLD, COMPACT STYLING
Even with its rugged, sculpted and confident styling, the Lexus designers made the LF-SA unashamedly compact to give it manoeuvrability and agility; essential for any true city car.
-
FORWARD-THINKING DESIGN
The contrast between concave and convex bodywork surfaces is emphasised by powerful undercutting above the wheel arches. This brings a unique proportion to the design and gives it a strong sense of dynamism and forward motion.
-
ADVENTURES IN COLOUR
The spirit of adventure is also reflected in the concept's colour scheme; the Stellar silver exterior finish a reference to space exploration, the interior inspired by the captivating spectacle of a solar eclipse.
STEP INSIDE THE LF-SA
Despite its compact dimensions, the LF-SA boasts a surprisingly spacious interior. There's a genuine feeling of light and air, accentuated by its sweeping dashboard, and the unique movement of the steering wheel and foot pedals.

-
DRIVER-FOCUSED DESIGN
With sole occupancy typical in city vehicles most of the time, the 2+2 cabin layout gives clear priority to the driver. The driver's seat is fixed, and the steering wheel and pedals are adjustable, bringing the vehicle to the driver.
-
SPACE TO EXPLORE
The front passenger seat is slideable giving access to the back seats. The interior design uses space, materials and volume to create two clearly-discernible, overlapping elliptical areas within the cabin.
-
SEAMLESS AND INTUITIVE
The infotainment system in the head-turning LF-SA includes a hologram-style display that's seamlessly incorporated in the crystalline instrument panel, along with a wide-angle HUD and a touchpad in the centre console.
