Toyota's luxury brand Lexus is a step closer to introducing a full-size seven-seat SUV flagship, according to a report from US publication Car and Driver.
The magazine says the Lexus LQ styling will be inspired by the LF-1 Limitless concept from 2018 (pictured) and will slot between the popular Lexus RX soft-roader and the Lexus LX heavy-duty four-wheel-drive based on the Toyota LandCruiser.

2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS unveiled: Australian launch due this year
…
Mercedes has unveiled its most luxurious SUV yet.
The new generation Mercedes GLS is larger in every dimension than its predecessor (length +77 mm, width +22 mm, wheelbase +60mm) to create a more spacious cabin – and crammed it with technology.
All three rows of seats have electric adjustment and there are two giant 11.6-inch touchscreens for second-row passengers.
There’s also an optional 7-inch Android tablet that stows in its own docking station in the second row arm rest.
Mercedes-Benz Australia has recalled its ML, GL, GLE and GLS model lines over concerns certain vehicles could spring oil leaks.
The manufacturer reports that oil foam may develop "under dynamic operating conditions" in the oil reservoir of affected vehicles, if the oil level drops too low.
The next-generation Mercedes-Benz GLS has been spied, just a day after our spy photography agency nabbed pictures of the new GLE.
Unlike the GLE we saw yesterday, which had plain black camouflage and many exposed body panels, this GLS is covered from head to toe in black and white swirls.
Compared to earlier prototypes, though, this car features only a few false body panels, all of which are located on the front and rear bumpers, and serve to obscure the false air vents and diffusers.
