Default Rear doors close easier then front?

(2017 RX F Sport) Is it just me or do the rear doors close easier and are much easier to slam then the front doors? I’m sure this is designed purposely but never had this in my previous Lexus’

Perhaps the rear doors are smaller (lighter) than the fronts.

I have a 2018 RX and all 4 doors have a nice heavy feel to them. The build date is 3/18 if that makes a difference, but it should'nt.

Prob different then 2016/2017. They all have that chest feel but my rear doors definitely close easier then the front doors. The hinge or whatever feels easier to push.

Maybe a little spray lube might help?

Its not that it’s stuck. The other dude was right they are larger and just heavier in general.
