It is reported that the 3.5-liter V-shaped 6-cylinder engine on the current model will be replaced by a 2.4T engine. The engine debuted on the all-new NX350 model released last year. For comparison, the NX350 has a maximum power of 205 kW (275 hp) and a maximum torque of 430 Nm, which is a comprehensive improvement over the current 3.5L engine.
In addition, the new car will provide three hybrid systems for consumers to choose from, and the new model RX500h will replace the flagship status of the current RX450h. The car may be equipped with a plug-in hybrid power system composed of a 2.4T engine and an electric motor; the RX450h model will be equipped with a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine and a hybrid system with a lithium battery-powered electric motor; the entry-level model RX350h power specifications may be the same as the NX350h, equipped with a 2.5L engine and a single motor THS hybrid system. However, the foreign media did not disclose any information about the dynamic parameters. As of this article, it is unclear whether the current 2.0T model will be retained after the release of new cars in the future.
According to previous foreign media reports, the new car may be officially released in the second half of the year, and like other Toyota new cars, the new RX will also be developed based on the TNGA architecture.
