They finally gave it a front bumper. My biggest gripe with the current and the last RX is they have no lower front area. Now it finally looks like a finished SUV body.

Looks mean. I still wish they would round the back a bit more like the 1st gen RX, but this is definitely a looker.

Actually with the aggressive front end (and squarish), I wish they would've squared the back to match the front.
Back changed very little.
Still looks very good though

100km = 62.137miles (US unit)
6.9L = 1.664 gallons (US unit)
So, 62.137miles/1.664gallons = 37.34MPG (US unit).
Unless the "Km" and "L" are not international measurements.

6.3l/100km is EU cycle consumption, exactly the same as before.

Yes!! The old models were very wedge shaped.
