Holy moly that HUD is amazing!

Love it! Proud owner of RX 450H but I wish I have this one.

The new Lexus midsize SUV; In Rx strength only.

Somehow i think the new RX has a better interior than the LS =| !!

I absolutely love this new RX... I think it's definitely the sign of things to come with the next generation of Lexus models. While we've seen some great debuts with the NX and RC, this RX seems to be all together more cohesive of an exercise than either of those. I think about this level of detail going into the next generation LS and drool.

Yeah, full color, multiple data points -- very impressed with the design.

During the video interview with the chief designer, he mentioned the RX as the "Ultimate Lexus SUV" -- makes me wonder how many of the design cues of the RX interior will be picked up in the next-generation LS.

Option blunders on NX? Such as...?

The RX has always been my favorite o(｀ω´ )o

Wow the RX is one beautiful SUV, IMO the competition is not even close....

No HUD, 360 degree camera, Mark Levinson. cooled seats etc etc! Also, I drove the NX300h and coming from an RX450h it feels lethargic!! Im happy I waited for the RX - this ones a good un'

The more I see the new RX the more excited I am for all us future owners and for the great enterprise that is Lexus!

It drops off my pants, so wonderful design.
Ooh, and did you noticed the different wheel design colors in the second movie, timeline 1:08 ?
Sorry for my language 😎

 

[KOHIPEET]

Those animating turn signals look sick! Damn I need to make so much more money till I can afford an RX. Economy sucks.

The items you mention do exist on the NX, but it depends on the market on which grade it is installed... Here in Belgium for example, all these items are (or will be as from model year 2016) available on F Sport or top grade.
I can entirely understand your wishes for more power if you are currently driving an RX, as there is app. 100hp difference 😉
Dreaming of the performances of an imaginary NX 450h... (technically not easy to create, I suppose). This is something I personally would love to see in the IS, too: technically less complicated to install, an IS 450h would be awesome! 😎

2 months? Hmmm so is Europe getting an early release? As far as I know, the new RX doesn't get released until the end of the year.

Based on Mr Templin's indication that we can expect more F-models in the Lexus range, what are my fellow enthusiasts' thoughts on the potential launch date of an RX F? If it is in on the cards, could we see a reveal in 16Q1 with launch in 16Q3/4 as a '17 model, basically a year after the new RX?

End of November/beginning of December in showrooms, but specs & tentative prices will be known earlier 😉

I think that we'd likely see a hypothetical LS F and new IS F get released before seeing an RX F, but that's just my opinion. If an RX F is coming, I would guess it's a few years away. Personally I'm not sure if we're going to see F SUVs.

Ah well that makes sense , but rayaans' post makes it sound like he's getting a new UK spec model in 2 months, which seems early, assuming he's referring to the 2016 model. Some clarification from rayaans should help 🙂.
