2023 Lexus RX: new illustration…
Last Updated:
This new illustration is trying to show us what the next-generation Lexus RX could look like.
Although we have already seen the real thing on this site last year.
As Lexus posted a small photo of it right behind the main promo shot of all their upcoming EVs.
The illustration on top is not that far off, but it’s not correct either.
I was told the next RX is moving to a new platform while keeping the design as close as the current one. But apparently, the interior will be much improved and more luxurious.
In a way, I do understand the fear of changing a successful design too much. The RX had its best year ever in 2021 with over 115 000 of them sold! (Kind of crazy for a model soon to be redesigned.)
Apparently, the super-smooth V6 will go away. Which is sad. This means powertrains will be very similar to the 2022 NX. And the 3rd-row version will be replaced later by an all-new model.
They actually make the grille slightly larger? Oh my goodness.
Why can't Lexus design an attractive RX? The current RX is one of my least favorite designs, and this new generation isn't looking like much of an improvement.
Where's the RX coupe? 😀
