FEEL EXHILARATED “For the all-new RX we were determined to keep the Lexus DNA of supreme quality, ride comfort and refinement and elevate the driving experience to the next level, delivering a unique Lexus driving signature.” KOJI SATO, PRESIDENT OF LEXUS INTERNATIONAL CREATED TO STAY AHEAD THE APPEAL OF THE STUNNING ALL-NEW LEXUS RX IS MUCH MORE THAN SKIN DEEP. The story of the all-new RX excites from the start, with an iconic luxury SUV created to turn heads and stay ahead. Its daring new ‘spindle body’ design and the sweeping lines lend the 5th generation RX immense confidence. This is juxtaposed by the sleeker, sharper triple LED headlights that underline the bold look of the new RX. For a coupé-like feel, the signature black rear pillar (we call it a ‘floating roof’) is now more three-dimensional in appearance, while extra dynamism comes from the RX’s stretched bonnet, longer wheelbase and the larger 21" wheels. To the rear, the single-line Lexus signature lights combine with the wider track to embolden the car’s stance and road presence. The introduction of the new “LEXUS” badge on the tailgate creates a clean and contemporary look. Accentuating RX’s sporty credentials, the F SPORT features enhancements in the execution of the front grille, skirts and the aerodynamic front and rear bumpers. The grade will be only offered on the RX 500h Performance Hybrid. THREE WAYS TO POWER The adventure continues with the more diversified, all electrified line-up: First the RX 450h+ Plug-in Hybrid features a 2.5-litre hybrid drivetrain and lithium-ion EV battery with 18.1 kWh. This offers more than 65 km of emission-free driving in EV mode with all the benefits of a Lexus Self-Charging Hybrid when the battery is depleted. Then the game-changing new RX 500h Performance Hybrid is the first-ever Lexus turbo-charged hybrid. With power coming from a completely new hybrid system consisting of a 2.4-litre turbo engine and 6-speed automatic transmission, it delivers 371 DIN hp and 645 Nm of torque for rapid acceleration and superb dynamics thanks to DIRECT4. Finally, the RX 350h 4th generation Self-Charging Hybrid delivers both seamless acceleration and improved efficiency. A DRIVE LIKE NO OTHER And there’s more. Coupled with the lighter yet more rigid platform, lower centre of gravity and new multi-link rear suspension, these electrified drivetrains are producing more than just consummate power and extraordinary efficiency. They’re creating a uniquely natural dialogue between car and driver, an immersion in comfort and refinement yet equally an exceptionally engaging rewarding driving experience. It’s the best ever execution of our Lexus Driving Signature. To savour it at its most pronounced, drive the exhilarating new RX 500h F SPORT with its DIRECT4 drive force control system. 02 RX
