The new LS is expected to be a technological showpiece for Lexus, with several autonomous driving functions, a new-look interior that includes front and rear touchscreen and features such as a gesture-controlled infotainment system. It will be based on the new Lexus GA-L platform, which will first be used on the new Lexus LC500 and LC500h sportscars. The sedan will be based heavily on the LF-FC concept car that was unveiled .
Lexus Europe head, Alain Uyttenhoven, said, “We know how to make fuel cells and the only challenge is how to package a fuel cell in a car that also needs a certain level of performance.” He, however, did not confirm plans for the LS.
