As one of the most popular luxury SUVs in North America, Lexus RX has been selected into Ward's top ten models many times. In China, although there are models such as , BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz GLE and Audi Q7 in the medium and large SUV market, Lexus RX can also have a place in this level, and its reputation in the minds of ordinary people is also excellent.
This generation of Lexus RX has been on the market for many years. From the previous new car planning of Lexus , we know that a new generation of Lexus RX based on the TNGA-K platform will arrive soon. Recently, we also obtained a set of appearance renderings of the new generation Lexus RX from relevant channels. According to Lexus' new car planning time, the new generation of Lexus RX will be officially released in the Japanese domestic market before the end of this year at the earliest, and is expected to continue to be introduced into the domestic market in the form of imports in 2023.
Judging from the appearance renderings of the new generation Lexus RX, the entire exterior design and even size of the new car will be significantly adjusted. The new car adopts a lower coupe-style SUV shape, which is both fashionable and sporty. Although the front face of the new car still uses Lexus's classic "spindle" air intake grille, the internal grille is more three-dimensional, and the surrounding lines are sharper, with a stronger sense of impact and aggression.
The side design of the new generation Lexus RX has undergone considerable changes. The air guide grooves on the front fenders show the performance side of the car, and the lines on the side are also quite three-dimensional, making the whole car more powerful. In addition, the new car is also equipped with larger wheel hub shapes, and the style of the wheel hubs can also show the sports performance of the vehicle. The shape of the rear of the new car is also quite recognizable. The arc-shaped through-type taillight is very unique. I believe that the visual effect will be more outstanding after it is lit up at night.
In addition, the road test spy photos of the new generation Lexus RX were also captured by overseas media. Judging from the spy photos, the overall shape of the new car is very close to the rendering. It is also a coupe SUV design, but there are certain differences in the taillights.
In terms of power, the new generation of Lexus RX is expected to add a 2.4T engine to replace the 3.5L V6 engine. In addition, the car will also be equipped with a 2.5L naturally aspirated and 2.5L plug-in HT4 hybrid HT5. The transmission system will be matched with an 8-speed automatic manual gearbox and equipped with a four-wheel drive system. At the same time, the new car is also expected to launch a GR high-performance sports version. It is expected to be powered by a 3.5T turbocharged engine, and the transmission system may be matched with a 10-speed automatic manual gearbox.
Judging from the renderings of the new generation Lexus RX, the new car has been fully upgraded, and the overall shape is more attractive. However, the positioning of medium and large coupe SUVs is bound to be unsuitable in China, and sales will definitely be affected to a certain extent.
