Lexus LF-Xh: Tokyo Show Concept Foretells 2009 RX

These are the first official images of the Lexus LF-Xh Concept that will make its world premiere at the Tokyo Show on October 24. The hybrid SUV concept will act as a teaser for the next-generation Lexus RX which is expected to be launched sometime in 2009. Though the LF-Xh features a cleaner and crispier exterior design than the current RX model, overall the styling seems somewhat generic. As for the futuristic interior, forget about it; it’s pure concept. There are no apparent surprises in the tech-department, with the LF-Xh featuring Lexus’ all-wheel drive system backed by a V6 gasoline engine and a high-output electric motor hybrid system. -More images after the jump
