- Lexus revealed three LS-branded concept vehicles at the Japan Mobility Show.
- The lead LS Concept features two front seats, dual digital cluster and business-class-style rear seating.
- LS Coupe and LS Micro concepts showcase Lexus’s design experimentation with suicide doors and a one-seat urban EV pod.
Lexus has gone a little mad scientist at the Japan Mobility Show, unveiling three wildly different concept cars under the LS badge.
Front and centre is the LS Concept: a massive, six-wheeled, ultra-luxury people mover that reimagines the brand’s flagship sedan as something closer to a futuristic chauffeur lounge than a limousine.
Six wheels and business-class comfort
The LS Concept ditches the familiar saloon form for a stretched, high-riding body so long it needs four wheels at the rear.
Lexus hasn’t said exactly why, though we suspect the setup adds both stability and show-stopping theatre. The front end is dominated by sharply contoured LED panels, with a rear treatment to match, while the side profile hints at Honda's Space-Hub EV concept.
Inside, it’s a vision of luxury excess: two futuristic front seats, twin digital clusters, a yoke-style steering wheel, and two more rows of plush seating. The rearmost pair reportedly resemble international business-class pods, complete with louvered side windows to create a soft, diffused cabin glow. Powertrain details remain under wraps, though Lexus has not disclosed whether any of these LS concepts will reach production.
Coupe and Micro concepts join the party
Alongside the six-wheeler, Lexus showed two other LS experiments.
The LS Coupe Concept is a sleek, high-riding crossover with rear-hinged “suicide” doors and a wood-lined tailgate compartment that slides outward, a clear nod to Lexus’s artisanal design roots.
Inside, expect a tech overload: dual digital clusters, a yoke wheel, and massive portrait screens for back-seat passengers.
Then there’s the LS Micro Concept, a single-seater EV pod that opens like a jewellery box. I
t’s self-driving, wood-trimmed, and about as far from the stately LS sedan as you can imagine.
Claustrophobic? Possibly. But Lexus insists it’s meant for “tightly packed urban areas,” a design statement rather than a production promise.
A brand in experimentation mode
All three concepts signal Lexus’s willingness to push boundaries as the LS nears the end of its current life. Whether the six-wheeled people mover ever hits showrooms is anyone’s guess, but if luxury is measured in wheels, Lexus just raised the bar.
