5th Generation RX Discussion: Official Thread (RX 500h, 450h+, 350h and More)

[LarryT]

Is anyone remotely excited about the RX? I mean there are no surprises in the looks category...

Hopefully Lexus has some "surprises" in store for the interior design & amenities. Looking forward to the full reveal.

I am pretty pumped. I am a newer Lexus fan, so doesn't take much to get me excited haha.

 

[Benito]

I think the big surprise, hopefully in a positive way, will be the power output and efficiency of the 500h.

 

[dylanfoos]

I think we will see 320-350 HP possibly...

I really hope they will push above 350hp

I really hope they will push above 350hp

I really hope so as well, we will see...

RX sales pay for all of the models people are conventionally excited about, so it's always worth noticing when it's updated. I like how the current 450h drives, and if they went a bit upmarket with the interior it could punch well above its class.

 

[Gecko]

You will be excited 😜

Wait a minute why are the D-pillar designs different?

[Gecko]

I think what appears to connect the D pillar to the rear quarter panel in the Creative311 leak is a glare. Very convenient placement, but yeah, glare.

I'm not sure if this is 'good' news, but Redline Reviews won't be there at Toyota HQ as usual

Hey everyone, your host, Sofyan here… Hope you’re all having a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! So Rob and I were supposed to be heading to Texas tomorrow for a HUGE Toyota event where we would be driving the 2023 Sequoia and seeing reveals for several redesigned and/or refreshed 2023 Toyota/Lexus models, but sadly we both are sick with COVID this week, so we’re going to have to miss out on the event. We’re both doing okay, just some really bad flu symptoms, but if you’re wondering why we don’t have videos posting from Plano, here is the reason for it. 😢 Hoping we can get a hold of the 2023 Sequoia shortly after the event as well as the other models, but we hope everyone stays well and has a great holiday weekend!

This is their best-selling vehicle, so hopefully they don't make their typical brain-dead packaging decisions, like no Mark Levinson on NX450h+ or no front wireless charging pad on LX600 ultra luxury Given how terrible their base audio systems have become, nobody would not add Mark Levinson so it should be option even on a barebones model.

Seriously, you guys who are invited to their press events should ask them why this kind of decisions happen. It's been annoying to Lexus buyers for years now.

The subtitle says "emphasis on solid feeling of independent tire motion".

Direct4 + torque vectoring?
