Lexus had released an image showing the UX concept’s exterior earlier this month. Now, the carmaker has revealed the concept’s interior ahead of its debut at the Paris motor show.

The new image confirms that the UX concept gets dual-screen infotainment, a wrap-around dash and rear view camera screens. Lexus has said the car features “imaginative technologies for an immersive driver experience”, and that the interior mixes traditional craftsmanship with high-tech manufacturing techniques.

There also appears to be steering-wheel mounted shift paddles and gear selector buttons on the centre console, suggesting this model features a combustion engine of some sort. A pair of rear tailpipe surrounds adds weight to this suggestion, but given recent trends in the industry, it seems likely that the concept will also use some kind of electrified power.

The UX concept previews the design direction of the carmaker’s future models, including a new compact SUV that'll replace the CT 200h. Designed by Lexus’ European design centre, the SUV’s  two rear doors curve out with the swollen wheel arches. The first teaser image released indicated that that the door handles are all housed in the car’s middle, thereby implying that the back doors are rear-hinged. Mounted on the front of the doors are rear-facing cameras.

At the back, there’s a coupé-like roofline and sharp tail-lights with what appear to be LED internals. The overall body looks smaller than those of the Lexus NX and RX, further supporting information from sources that the model previews a production car that'll replace the CT 200h.
