Spy Photos of Lexus’s Production Version LF-Ch
Carscoop has photos of what seems to be a production model of the Lexus LF-Ch hatchback.
The car made its debut at last year’s Frankfurt motor show. Lexus made it clear they would build the five-door car when Andy Pfeiffenberger, vice president of Lexus Europe, said “Let me stress you are not looking at a market study. This LF-Ch concept is a clear indication of our entry plans for the compact premium segment in the near future, with the world’s first ever premium compact, full hybrid.”

It was the first compact hybrid concept from Lexus that leaned towards young urbanites.
The spy photos are almost identical to the concept model. Lexus will offer the car with both conventional and hybrid power trains. It will be a direct competitor to both the BMW 1-Series and Audi A3.
