New Design & New Course for Lexus

The 2022 Lexus LQ is the luxury brand's new flagship SUV to be unveiled in early 2022.  Lexus has previewed the vehicle with the impressive LF-1 concept.  Lexus says the LQ will set a radically new course for Lexus SUVs and the focus of the vehicle is luxury not on off-roading.  The LQ will sport an all new design with a strong, straight roofline, a wide body and new grill configuration.  It will be taller and wider than its predecessors.   It will have a very dynamic appearance with strong styling lines from the hood to the back of the SUV.

An Interior that is User Centric

The interior of the vehicle will be ultra-plush and user centric. The LF-1's LED light show in the grill will likely be incorporated into LQ to welcome passengers as they get ready to jump onboard the vehicle.  The cabin will contain Lexus' latest infotainment center along with an optional 2 or 3 seat configuration in the back.  The vehicle will be built on Toyota's TNGA-L platform and it will offer rear-wheel drive based architecture or all-wheel drive.  Lexus is owned by Toyota.

Hybrid, Electric, Gas or Fuel Cell Powered

The TGNA-L architecture can accommodate gas, hybrid, electric and fuel cell powertrains. The likely, initial options in the new LQ will be hybrid with 350 horsepower and the LS' 3.5 liter, twin-turbo V6 engine with 416 horsepower.  Pricing will start at $80,000 with top versions crossing the $100,000 level.
