Lexus RX200t tagged posts

The Lexus family will get one more turbocharged member: Lexus has announced the all-new 2016 RX200t in the 2015 Shanghai auto show today.

The RX200t will share the same 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine found in the NX200t, output is 235hp and 258 lb-ft. The turbocharged engine is paired to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Although the 2016 RX350 will be using a 8-speed unit, it looks like Lexus did not have enough time to work on the 2.0T + 8AT combination for the 2016 model year.

Please see the below press release for more details.

On last Monday, we are the first media to report the output of the Lexus’ new 2.0L turbo engine used in the NX model, to be around 240hp.

Today this is again confirmed to be true: another report from the Lexus Enthusiast website indicates that, the actual output for the Lexus NX200t will be 237hp.

Also the news reveals that the next Lexus model to receive this new engine will be the IS250 (we guess it will be called IS200t when that day comes). Since it is extremely easy to boost the output of a turbo engine, the version that used on the IS may reach the 250hp mark.

Once the IS receives the turbo engine, the trend will obviously affect the GS and RX models...
