"Lexus is retiring the LS sedan after 2026, marking more than three decades of trust and user convenience. The Japanese luxury brand has not, however, given up on the LS moniker as it debuts a trio of concepts at the Tokyo auto show that includes a six-wheeled van, a self-driving three-wheeled robotaxi concept for cities, a larger-than-life catamaran, and a more conventional coupe."
"The LS Van Concept takes that idea to the next level with a design that reassures its usefulness for digital nomads. The LS here signifies the Large Space aesthetic of the van, complemented by the luxury amenities that'll never leave anyone longing for more. The vehicle has six wheels courtesy of an extra axle, giving the van more room for increasing the interior space."
"The sliding door opens to reveal the interior space that is unlike any Lexus before this one. The airy cabin has large windows and a couple of skylights that are adjacent to each other for a panoramic view outside and to enjoy the night sky in its full glory. The seating configuration inside can be done in multiple configurations, including the large captain-styled seats or the reclining bench layout that can double as a nighttime sleeper for an adult."
Lexus will retire the LS sedan after 2026 while preserving the LS name through dramatic concept vehicles revealed at the Tokyo auto show. Concepts include a six-wheeled LS Van, a self-driving three-wheeled urban robotaxi, a larger-than-life catamaran, and a more conventional coupe. None of the concepts are slated for immediate production; the concepts aim to preserve the LS division legacy and explore new use cases. The LS Van emphasizes a Large Space aesthetic, six-wheel packaging for expanded interior volume, flexible seating for four to six occupants, rotating front seats for social layouts, panoramic skylights, and convertible sleeping configurations.
