DESIGN

Brave. Different. Directional. Our design is instantly recognisable, never failing to stir emotions and inspire boundary-pushing new ideas.

DESIGN WITH AN OPINION

Lexus design is deliberately daring and provocative. Freedom of thought and expression are of the utmost importance to us. We're relentlessly exploring and pursuing new ideas. We begin with brave concepts – those that are truly original, bold and highly conceptual - which we translate into visionary vehicle design, imaginative in every aspect.

SIGNATURE STYLING

Our design approach is defined by the L-Finesse design language. What does this mean? We bring you the latest design and technology, and strive for precision with everything we create.

01

Seamless Anticipation

True to the concept of Omotenashi – the Japanese spirit of hospitality – we do more than simply meet needs and desires of drivers. We anticipate them, seamlessly, so you can experience amazing.
02

Incisive Simplicity

Everything we create must be an intuitive pleasure to use and behold. Any excessive complexity must be stripped away so we can provoke honest, undiluted emotion in the driving experience.
03

Intriguing Elegance

All our vehicles have the power to catch the eye and turn heads. But they also capture and hold attention. The more you look, the more you’re drawn in. It’s no wonder our designers speak of 'visual journeys’.

SPINDLE GRILLE

Our spindle grille is an instantly recognisable Lexus design signature. It’s a bold statement that can’t be missed. Its iconography endures, while it receives subtly different treatments over time, and across our range.

L-HEADLIGHTS

Our L-shaped lights play in harmony with our spindle grille, creating an imposing presence. At the front and rear of every vehicle, our name is evoked. Always evolving, the lights are shaped by technological advances, as well as stylistic development.

CHARACTERISTIC PROFILE

Every Lexus offers a striking side view. Profiles are streamlined to showcase sophisticated aerodynamics, while deep creases echo the first letter of our name. Design, craft, engineering and performance combine with unified, distinctive purpose.

FUTURE VISIONS

Bold, brave conceptual thinking is what powers Lexus design. Witness some of the projects which have propelled us into the future, each with an unpredictable energy all of their own. Making the seemingly impossible possible.

CONCEPT CARS

Our bold, brave concepts are what power Lexus. They propel us into the future, with an unpredictable energy all of their own. And they make the seemingly impossible possible.

LEXUS DESIGN EVENTS
