Lexus UX Concept on display in Paris
The Lexus UX Concept will make its world debut this week at the 2016 Paris Motor Show showcasing Lexus’ vision for a compact SUV of the future.
This vehicle represents a new step in the company's design journey and a redefinition of the driving experience.
The UX Concept design embodies imaginative and forward-thinking technologies to provide occupants with a fully immersive experience.
All on-board HMI technology has been designed to offer progressive customers who live and work in an ever-connected environment an innovative, three-dimensional driver experience.
The driver's instrument binnacle houses a transparent globe, floating in the manner of a hologram, in which a combination of analog and digital information express a functional yet unexpected user interface.
The centre console features a prominent, facetted crystal structure within which a hologram-style display of air conditioning and infotainment system is clearly visible to both driver and front passenger.
The latest advanced in-vehicle electrical technologies are also on display in the new UX Concept.
It features electro-chromatic windows, and the side-view mirrors are replaced by e-mirror camera housings far slimmer than conventional mirror housing.
All switchgear is electrostatic and housed under transparent covers.
Finally, the fin motif used on the A pillar is repeated on the dashboard to provide a new audio experience for the nextgeneration Lexus customer: a removable sound bar built into the passenger side of the dashboard.
