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

[NXracer]

We all knew it will be a child from 2NX and current RX

But something wrong in this render

The render is spot on if they are following the narrow styling headlight trend we saw with the evolution designs in the NX and LX. The reason it looks weird, is because the render is based on the dimensions/outline of an RX-L.

The RX side by side with an L has that unsightly rear overhang and upright D pillar design.

Just watched Kirk YouTube channel, he is speculating that 2023 RX will come with new type of hybrid system.
Also most interesting info, is that the 500h will have 469hp!

 

[ssun30]

No it won't.

 

[mikeavelli]

Lol

 

[Deusex]

Ehhhh... you guys, why are you killing us dreamers.

250h，135kw；
300h，160kw；
350h，180kw；
400h+，195kw；
450h+，225kw；
LS500h，264kw；
RX/TX/LM500h，？
so 350kw should be 700h or 750h.

I give the Lexus YT channels credit, they are putting a spotlight on the Japanese Car Media, but come on.

I assume the non H platform output would be 420hp /s

 

[ssun30]

To get 350kW on top of the 205kW ICE they need at least a 145kW battery. That battery doesn't exist.

3 things:
If you try hard enough, anything is possible.
Maybe its being developed in secrecy.
Or this is just clickbait as usual.

I assume we should be coming up with launch details end of spring.

Are there RX buyers asking for 470hp? No, they aren't. That alone tells me that the RX500h won't be near that.

The other Lexus vehicles with the 500h nomenclature currently make 354hp. I think 350-375hp is much more likely.

RX350h: 240hp
RX350: 275hp
RX450h+: 300hp
RX500h: 350-375hp (my guess)

Exactly. The RX has a formula, buyers like it a lot, and Lexus is not going to deviate too far from it. Those buyers don't want 470 HP, and those that do want that kind of power don't want it in an RX.

if its on the internet it must be true /s

 

[mikeavelli]

I mean if it did we would get one in a heartbeat as the wife wants back in a SUV. Really a bit sad the Limitless didn’t come to be but excited for the top of the line RX.

Well that 2.4 turbo hybrid will also be in the next crown replacing the 3.5 v6 hybrid (356hp) and according to bestcar web it will be more powerful than the v6 so around 400hp

don't wanna get hopes too high but...400 hp doesn't sound Lexus to me...more like 350 max especially for RX demographic

The 2.4T is not more powerful than the 3.5 V6.

 

[Ali Manai]

The 2.4T is not more powerful than the 3.5 V6.

It will have a hybrid version like the one in tundra

 

[Kelvin2020]

New RX?

 

[Gor134]

Definitely the new RX. Just like that teaser pic, looks a lot tighter in proportions and sportier than the current gen, especially with the circular wheel arches. I love it already

 

[CRSKTN]

Looks like the lines are more NX vs the RZ.
