Lexus has dropped some strong hints as to the look of its new hybrid SUV challenger at the Tokyo Motor Show.

The LF-Xh concept is a four-wheel drive SUV powered by a V6 petrol engine combined with an electric hybrid motor.

The current RX400h accounts for more than 80% of RX sales in the UK, helping Lexus hybrid registrations hit a record 3,485 units this year – 104 ahead of 2006’s total.
