I will admit that there are not many premium or luxury hatches around. We have the Audi A3 and the European countries have the BMW 1-Series hatchbacks. Now, Lexus wagers to enter this small but noticeable segment with a hybrid hatchback called the Lexus LF-Ch. As of now we are not 100% certain of which Toyota platform this new Lexus will be built off of but it will be a hybrid according to the short press release below. Look for the Lexus LF-Ch to be on display and “revealed” to the public this month at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
Also, don’t forget that you can get discounted new car pricing with a free quote through qualified local dealer partners.
