Lexus Japan Announces Special Edition Models to Celebrate 500k Sales Milestone

Posted by Kevin on September 6th, 2018

Lexus Japan will release special editions of six vehicles in celebration of 500,000 total sales in the country. The Black Sequence model lineup all feature black accents, similar to the Crafted Line released in the USA back in 2014.

Lexus GS 450h Black Sequence

The Black Sequence GS sedan features a black spindle grille, side mirrors, and exterior trim, with gunmetal aluminum wheels finishing it all off. A Saddle Tan/Topaz Brown interior is also exclusive.

Lexus IS F SPORT Black Sequence

The Black Sequence IS F SPORT will have gunmetal aluminum wheels and black side mirrors, but the real magic happens inside — the steering wheel and interior trim are wood treated with black ink. Red leather inserts also feature throughout the cabin.

Lexus CT Black Sequence

The CT Black Sequence is defined by its two-tone exteriors : Sonic Titanium Roof & Graphite Black Glass Flake body,” Mercury Gray Mica Roof & Red Mica Crystal Shine body, and Sonic Titanium Roof & Sonic Quartz body.

In addition, the interior allows for any combination of blue, dark rose, white and black tone.

Lexus LX Black Sequence

The Black Sequence LX has a blacked-out spindle grille and surround, with the LED headlight and taillight covers treated in a smokey black. The interior features a diamond pattern on the seats and door trim, along with a door courtesy lamp that projects LX on the ground.

Lexus RX Black Sequence

The Black Sequence RX features a black painted spindle grille and LED front fog lamps, completed with gunmetal aluminum wheels.

Lexus NX Black Sequence

Finally, the Black Sequence NX has a blacked-out spindle grille and surround with body-colored wheel arches. The aluminum wheels also feature a gunmetal and bronze two-tone pattern.

The NX wheels with The LX seats in The GS-F while making it blacked on white like this GS

Oh man I wish they would give us (here in the US) the chance to buy a new CT one last time. I am resigned now to getting an X1 at my ct lease end since the more I see of UX I just can’t see myself buying it. Maybe when it finally comes to dealers I’ll have an epiphany but for now it’s just not looking good.

These are great looking cars and perhaps they should become readily available and not just as specials. They really to me highlight the real luxury of the Brand.
Have to agree with Zander the CT is missed and the UX is taking a long time to arrive and is a very different vehicle to the CT. Lexus are certainly lacking in this section of the market. The CT has earned an enviable reputation for trouble free and economical motoring combined with a touch of Lexus individuality. Nothing else like it.

I still believe that the new Corolla will take this spot from CT as it already take it from the Auris

No Auris and No CT anymore
That's what I believe

If you see the new Corolla hatch you will see a very strong resemble of the LF-Ch the concept of the CT very much more than the CT itself

The Auris name is only used in certain countries, in other markets this same vechicle is simply known as the Corolla hatchback. The Auris is marketed in South Africa and imported from Japan, the Corolla sedan is now imported from Australia it was previously manufactured in South Africa and exported to several right hand drive destinations.
So I do not believe the Corolla can ever replace the CT whatever Lexus decide to do, I think they have introduced the UX and that is going to be the replacement due to the increasing popularity of the SUV type vehicle as opposed to a hatchback.

I know that the Auris is for specific markets

I meant to say that the new generation Corolla is way step forward from our current, that's from all whom tested it

Agreed! Lexus should have sold the 2018 CT 200h for North America, with the CT refresh and now the "Black Sequence" it definitely looks sharp. The UX should go on sale at the end of November 2018. Lexus could have sold a few more 2018 CT's from September 2017 through all of 2018 prior to the release of the UX...
