The Lexus LS Is Dead. It Could Return As An Electric Crossover
"At the 2025 Japan Mobility Show, Lexus actually envisioned several possible forms a future LS flagship could take someday, some more realistic than others. One was a six-wheeled luxury van; another was a one-seat vehicle with three wheels. But I'd say one of them is much more plausible, and that's the LS Coupe Concept. It's not an actual coupe, though, but rather a big SUV with a sporty coupe-like roofline and a dramatic fastback rear end."
"The vehicle is likely electric with its completely flat floor inside and no visible tailpipes anywhere. The proportions, particularly of the front end, make it look like an EV, as there doesn't look like there's enough space under the hood for an engine, unless it's a small transversely mounted mill. The A-pillar is one of the most slanted and swept-back I've ever seen, making the car look very aerodynamic."
Lexus revealed three LS-badged design studies, with the LS Coupe Concept appearing closest to production and previewing a possible crossover direction for the LS nameplate. The Coupe Concept combines a tall, sporty stance, dramatic fastback rear, and an extremely slanted A-pillar that emphasizes aerodynamics and suggests an electric powertrain. The concept shows a completely flat interior floor and no visible tailpipes. Lexus discontinued the LS sedan in the U.S. after 36 years amid weak sales, prompting exploration of radically different flagship forms including a six-wheeled luxury van and a single-seat three-wheeler.
