In the domestic luxury brand market, second-tier luxury brands have always had a large terminal preferential margin, but Lexus has always been an exception, even if Lexus has always adopted the sales method of vehicle imports, and the sales volume is not large, but even so, the price of Lexus has always been quite firm.
Recently, we obtained a set of Lexus new RX road test spy photos and appearance renderings from foreign media, according to foreign media reports, the new car will be the first to be officially released in the Japanese domestic market before the end of this year, and is expected to continue to introduce sales in the domestic market in the form of imports in early 2023, and will continue to compete with BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz GLE, Audi Q7 and other models in the future.
In terms of appearance, from the rendering, the new RX adopts the new design style of the Lexus family, which is more sporty than the current model, the front face part uses a large-size spindle grille, and uses chrome decoration, which will be more graded, and the shape of the double-sided headlights is also sharper than the current model, and the interior is likely to be equipped with matrix LED headlights. The lines on the side of the body are more streamlined and smooth overall. And the bottom is equipped with a large size of wheels, the shape is more dynamic, in line with the aesthetics of young consumers at present. At the rear of the body, Lexus' new RX is equipped with through-type taillights, further improving the recognition of the model.
The interior part has not yet had any relevant pictures flowing out, so it is not possible to analyze it, but according to lexus tradition, the interior design of the new car is expected to be consistent with Lexus' new NX.
In terms of power, according to foreign media reports, Lexus' new RX will add a 2.4T engine version of the model, the transmission or will match the 8AT gearbox, in addition, the new car is expected to be equipped with 2.5L naturally aspirated, 2.5L plug-in hybrid engine, the choice of power system is still quite rich.

At last:
The current RX has indeed not been iterated for many years, and now it has reached the time when it has to be replaced, coupled with the blessing of the TNGA platform, the product strength of the new car should be unquestionable, but the most critical thing is the pricing, because at this stage, there are not many luxury brand models that RX can choose at the same price point.
