Japan Mobility Show Opens in Tokyo With Lexus ‘Luxury Space’ Reframe and Multimodal Vision

The renamed showcase signals a pivot from conventional car debuts to electrified, software-led mobility concepts.

Overview

  • Running Oct. 30–Nov. 9 at Tokyo Big Sight, the event replaces the traditional Tokyo Motor Show with a broader remit across mobility.
  • Lexus introduced the six-wheeled LS Concept recast as Luxury Space, emphasizing interior privacy and wellbeing over a classic sedan silhouette.
  • The brand also highlighted a wider ecosystem with a sustainable‑propulsion catamaran featuring AI‑assisted autonomous navigation, a Joby electric VTOL aircraft, and lifestyle concepts for home and hub integration.
  • Toyota’s restructure elevates Century as an ultra‑luxury marque, freeing Lexus to expand its brief, while the group reiterates mobility‑as‑a‑service and a near‑term hybrid‑forward electrification path.
  • Many premieres target specific regions, with Toyota’s compact Land Cruiser FJ not planned for Europe for now, as other debuts include Nissan’s updated Ariya, Honda’s 0‑series prototypes, and Mazda’s new CX‑5 with a Google‑based system.
