Auto Express has learned that Lexus will unveil a new compact crossover at the Geneva Motor Show next March. This new model will be heavily influenced by the LF-NX concept shown at the Frankfurt and Toyko Motor Shows. The production version will likely be toned down, but expect the sharp lines to stay.

Powertrains will include a hybrid that uses a 2.5L four-cylinder engine, and a new 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Interesting thing about these two engines is that both were shown in the LF-NX concept.

Auto Express says the new compact crossover will go on sale next summer. We'll keep a close eye on this.

Look like everyone wants to get into the compact / sub-compact luxury CUV market.

I thought Toyota was going to avoid turbo-charging for now.
