Lexus has also confirmed that the upcoming SUV will come in two variants and will be the first Lexus model to feature connected car technology. The Japanese automaker also mentioned that the RX’s engine will be more powerful and perform better than its predecessor.

New Lexus RX: exterior design

The RX will adopt Lexus’ new Chapter design language and emulate the ‘spindle body’ styling of the new RZ electric SUV. Its dimensions have also increased with the wheelbase being extended by 6mm, the roofline lowered by 10mm and the grooves 15mm wider at the front and 40mm at the rear.

Lexus says the new size of the RX gives it “a couple-like feel” and it also features LED headlights with a sleeker design. The top-of-the-range models will have some visual differences with their own styling elements all around.

New Lexus RX: interior and features

Furthermore, the new RX will feature a 14-inch infotainment touchscreen along with wireless charging and Apple CarPlay. However, it only receives a wired Android Auto connection. Lexus has chosen vegan synthetic leather for the interior upholstery.

It also has a more minimalist and driver-focused format, in keeping with Lexus’ ‘hands on the wheel, eyes on the road’ principle. It features active driver assistance systems as well as touch controls that can be viewed and adjusted with minimal eye contact and head movement.

New Lexus RX: powertrain

Globally, the new RX is offered with three engine options – 350h, 450h+ and 500h. While all are hybrid powertrains, only the 450h+ is a powerful hybrid powertrain. India is expected to get a 350h powertrain option with a 2.5-liter engine with powerful hybrid technology making 245hp and 324Nm of torque.
