Lexus puts customisation and outdoor lifestyles in the spotlight

The boundless possibilities for customisation and the excitement of outdoor adventure are the focus of Lexus’s presence at the Tokyo Auto Salon and Tokyo Outdoor Show, both taking place at the Makuhari Messe from today to 15 January. 

At the Tokyo Auto Salon, Lexus is showcasing two vehicles which embody its vision for a carbon neutral society while giving customers the chance to use their vehicles to support a wide variety of lifestyles. 

The LX 600 “Offroad” from Team JAOS, which annoyingly isn’t available in the UK, participated in the 2022 Baja 1000 in Mexico in November, a non-stop race over almost 1,000 miles of rough terrain.

Lexus is launching its Overtrail Project at the Tokyo Outdoor Show, highlighting a range of outdoor experiences from simple picnics and camping to off-road adventures in challenging environments. The project’s inspiration to explore new paths and nature is represented by three Lexus concept vehicles. 

The RX Outdoor Concept is based on the all-new RX 450h+ plug-in hybrid electric SUV and is specially equipped for active outdoor lifestyles.

The ROV Concept 2 inherits the off-road capabilities and the hydrogen-powered engine of the original ROV (Recreational Off-highway Vehicle) concept, combining a vision of carbon neutrality while preserving the emotional sensations associated with the combustion engine. Both concept models are finished in an exclusive exterior colour, Regolith, which combines matt texture, brilliance and toughness. The name is taken from geology, used to describe loose matter that covers the surface of the earth, moon and other planets and asteroids. 

The GX Outdoor Concept, based on the GX 460 luxury SUV, features special equipment and gear to enjoy an authentic outdoor experience, even in the harshest environments.
