Lexus has officially unveiled the LF-SA ultra-compact concept at the Geneva Motor Show, a 2+2 study that may preview a future small production vehicle.

Designed at the Toyota Europe Design Development studio in Nice, France, the study’s robust exterior and driver-focused interior are a daring interpretation of the Lexus brand’s design philosophy, L-finesse.

The sculpted body surfaces cast different shadows depending on the viewing angle and time of day, with other interesting details including the three-dimensional spindle grille intertwined with the front fenders and the bold undercutting above the wheel arches.

The rear end features an angular styling combined with L-shaped lamp clusters that mirrors the spindle grille shape.

Inside, the Lexus LF-SA features a sweeping dashboard that Lexus says creates the impression of a roomy interior – even if the concept is only 3,450mm long, 1,700mm wide and 1.430mm tall. Everything focuses on the driver, whose seat is fixed, as the steering wheel and pedals can be adjusted to the driver’s preferred positioning.

The futuristic study features a crystalline instrument panel with black-beveled hologram display and heads-up display with touch pad in the center console. Access to the rear seats is provided by the sliding front passenger seat. No details were offered about the concept’s powertrain, but Lexus said the vehicle features automated technologies.

LF-SA stands for Lexus Future Small Adventurer, which means we could see a future production model loosely based on this study.
