Lexus’ LF-SA Concept Set To Hit Geneva

Lexus just sent us the first teaser of what will become their main attraction at the upcoming Geneva International Motor Show. The front end that you see in the above shot will be found on the upcoming Lexus LF-SA.

This picture, just like every teaser shot that gets sent to us by a manufacturer, doesn’t give up much information. We can see that the concept will feature some styling cues from Lexus’ SUVs (we see some influence from the new NX), but the dimensions seem somewhat smaller.

A quick trip to the rumour mill yields some interesting theories: The LF-SA might be foreshadowing a new compact vehicle that would slot in under the NX and the CT200h. According to those same rumours, the vehicle would get its chassis and engine from the Toyota lineup… from the Yaris, in fact.

Of course, this is all only speculation, for now. But, a small luxury crossover would be very popular among buyers, if the Mercedes-Benz GLA’s success is any indication…

We will have to wait until the Geneva Motor Show, on March 3rd, to learn more.
