Until now, Santa Claus used reindeer to pull his sleigh around the world, but for 2020, his garage has been updated with this: the Lexus HX Sleigh Concept.
To create the HX Sleigh Concept, Lexus designers have taken inspiration from current modes while also making sure the sleigh suits the needs of Santa and has lots of luggage capacity. The front is one of the most striking areas and includes a faux spindle grille, narrow headlights and angular LED daytime running lights.
The sleek styling continues at the sides with a flowing windshield, no visible door handles and steeply-raked A-pillars.
Spin around to the rear and it’s obvious that Santa commissioned the sleigh to feature the rear-end of the updated Lexus IS, including its spacious trunk and taillights. Also found at the rear are the small jet engines that power the sleigh.

Perhaps tired of throwing good money after bad to repair the aging clunker he has had since he was invented over 150 years ago, or maybe tempted by the sleek new models he sees in all those sleigh magazines like Sleighweek and Reindeer & SkiTrack, Santa has traded in his traditional sleigh for a new model. And not just any model, this one’s literally the Lexus of sleighs, the Lexus HX Sleigh Concept, released in CAD by Lexus of Canada, a place where they know sleighs.
Lexus HX Sleigh Concept Gives Santa A More Stylish Way To Deliver Gifts ++ It doesn t need flying reindeer because the engines run on holiday spirit.
If Santa ever needs a new sleigh, there are plenty of automakers ready to provide him with a fresh way to deliver presents. The Lexus HX Sleigh Concept is the latest offering hoping to get Old Saint Nick to trade in his flying reindeer for something a bit more modern.
The Lexus HX wears a far more modern body than Santa s current ride. There s an enclosed cockpit, which should keep Father Christmas a bit warmer on his journey. The front end features Lexus spindle grille. Since this is a polarizing styling cue, let s hope it appeals to Santa. In the back, the company promises unlimited cargo capacity, so there must be access to an alternate dimension that s capable of swallowing presents for millions of children. A foot sensor offers hands-free opening of the trunk.
