Default Next-gen 2023 Lexus RX spied

Seen testing in Japan. Rumor has it that the V6 will be axed and it'll have the same all-4 cylinder powertrain lineup as the new NX.


So far it looks almost identical to the render from Toyota's big press event back in January:

I think Toyota/Lexus just like how that looks. Even the BZ/RZ EV's have huge front overhangs despite there being literally no engine.

Yeah, and in 2028 we can expect a 3-cylinder, with one of them shutting off at 55 mph.

That corolla gr 3 cyl could be an interesting option.

It will look just like the render with different wheel designs.

The trackpad is a deal killer for me on the existing one. I hope they do away with it on the new gen.

It'll likely use the exact same infotainment as the new NX, which no longer has the trackpad.

I'm excited for it, even though I don't like the new NX I can tell this new RX is gonna look good. Just like the older design, except the body lines tightened a little more and made sportier with the rounder wheel arches.

I thought Lexus finally was moving on from the hideous Predator grill.

At this point, the grill is brand defining. I think it looks good so hope they keep it

I also think the current grill looks great. The new IS and LC are examples of it being executed really well.
