雷克萨斯高管近日透露了下一代2016款LS更多细节。新一代LS仍将是公司的顶级车型，新车将采用更具动感的设计，这意味着该车外观将与雷克萨斯其他车型有更大不同。不过，这位高管排除了采用类似保时捷Panamera快背式车顶的可能，不过为了使新车特立独行将采用更激进的设计。在新一代LS发布之前，雷克萨斯还将于明年发布新一代RX，新车将比现行版更大，但仍旧采用五座布局。雷克萨斯还计划推出比NX更小的跨界车以便与奔驰GLA竞争。

 

2016 Lexus LS to become "more emotional"

Lexus European chief Alain Uyttenhoven has shed some light about the next generation LS due in 2016.

 

Talking to British magazine Autocar, Uyttenhoven said the new LS will remain the company's range-topping model and is set to become "more emotional" which probably means it will get a differentiated design compared to the rest of the range.

 

He also ruled out the possibility of adopting the liftback silhouette of the Porsche Panamera but did say “it's not good for the brand to have Russian doll styling", indicating it will get a more polarizing design to make the car stand out.

 

Until a new LS, Lexus is cooking up the next generation RX set to come out next year in a larger size compared to the current model but will still allegedly be a five-seater. Further down the line, a smaller crossover to slot below the NX could be planned as a rival to the Mercedes-Benz GLA, but Uyttenhoven did warn they "will never chase volume at any cost."
