Lexus announced today its 2020 global sales results including record full-year sales in China and a July-December worldwide total of 415,000 – a 2% increase on the previous year, following a decrease in sales in January-June due to the spread of COVID-19.
Images of a forthcoming Lexus Concept Car have also been released, signalling a new brand vision when it is unveiled in Autumn (Australian time) this year – and followed by the first production Lexus under the new brand vision later this year.
The next generation: The latest Lexus electrified concept represents the future of the luxury driving experience. The design of the latest Lexus concept introduces new movement, only made possible by electrification.
Lexus International President / Chief Branding Officer Koji Sato said:

This Spring (US time), we will unveil our new brand vision, along with a new concept, which illustrates our intentions for the future and marking the beginning of the next generation of Lexus.”
“Furthermore, we will launch the first model under our new vision within this year, and we will continue to introduce new models next year and beyond.
