Lexus is the latest manufacturer to release images of the concept cars it's showing off at the Tokyo motor show later this month.

The first is a hybrid-powered 4x4 called the LF-Xh. So is this a forerunner to a new RX? The current RX premium off-roader celebrates its fifth birthday next year, but Lexus is not saying if this concept car is its replacement.

The vehicle is longer and wider, though not quite as tall, as the current RX, and is powered by a V6 petrol engine and electric motor hybrid system.

If the LF-A concept car looks familiar, it's because we've seen the car at three previous motor shows - in 2005.

It had been mooted at previous shows that the LF-A would be the world's first hybrid sports car, but the two-seater to be shown in Tokyo is powered by a conventional V10 petrol engine, while the body is made of light carbonfibre re-inforced plastic.
