Lexus RX tagged posts

Yesterday Lexus unveiled the all-new 4th-generation RX CUV in the 2015 New York auto show.

The biggest news is the engine on the RX350 is upgraded to 300hp, and using fuel direct-injection. Below are the highlights:

– RX350: 3.5L direct-injection V6, 300hp
– RX450h: 3.5L Atkinson cycle V6 + electric motor, combined output: 300hp
– 8-speed automatic transmission
– Both FWD and AWD are available
– F Sport trim available
– Optional 3rd-row seat (not mentioned in the press release)

The 2016 RX rides on the same platform as the latest Toyota Highlander, for example they has the same wheelbase (109.8in), and the rear track width is also the same (64.2in).

The 2016 model year of the Lexus RX will be fully redesigned, and it is going to be announced in the upcoming 2015 New York auto show. Today Lexus has published a teaser image and also a short video about the new RX. Below is the teaser image.

It can be seen that with the fastback tail shape, it is very unlikely that the new RX can accommodate the 3rd-row seat, which suggests that it is still a SUV with two rows of seats.

And here is the video.

We will report back the new RX on April 1st, live from the NY auto show.

The current generation of Lexus RX has been in the market for over 6 years now, and it obviously needs a redesign.

We have known Lexus has been working on a new RX for a while, and many people thought it will be debuted in last month’s Detroit auto show. But unfortunately, it did not show up.

Today our insider from Toyota told us that the company has decided to release the all-new 4th-generation RX SUV in this April’s New York auto show. No further details are avaialble at this time, and we do not know whether the new RX will grow into a 3-row-seat design either...

2016 Lexus RX Sadly Not Announced In Detroit

The current Lexus RX (3rd-generation) was debuted back in November, 2008, now more than 6 years passed and it is due for a renewal. It has been rumored that Lexus would debut the redesigned 4th-gen RX at the 2015 Detroit auto show which is ongoing this week, but sadly the debut did not happen.

However this is understandable – because the Detroit auto show is more focused on performance models, not for soccer mom vehicles or daily commute cars. But looks like the 2015 New York auto show, which is going to take place this April, is a good time for the new RX to bow to the public.

Our source informed us today that Lexus managemen...

The all new 2015 Lexus NX

With the 2015 Lexus NX making its way into car dealership’s inventory, could it be that the NX is going to take the current RX’s place?

More Than Rumors?

It is also rumored that Lexus is going to design the next-generation of the RX SUV to be a 3-row-seater. In fact, during our interview with Mr. Yasuo Kajino, Group Manager of the Lexus Design Division, Mr. Kajino mentioned to me that the LF-C2 concept does not indicate only one production model, in fact it reflects the possibility of several new model design styles. Now that’s exciting news!
