The product information revealed by Lexus first shows that the RX test car, which appeared for the first time in the film, has a fairly complex cross-type grille-shaped water tank guard design, which is different from the current NX in-line grille design, and is more similar to the configuration of the F Sport model, and the headlamp shape is somewhat similar to the NX, all of which are set in the center of the headlight group with arrow-type LED daytime lights, and the rear lines are also similar to the NX car system, and the taillight group configuration is horizontal.
In addition, Lexus also predicted that this model will be the second commercially available model equipped with a new Direct4 electronic four-wheel drive system after RZ, but what is more special is that this car will use PHEV plug-in gasoline-electric hybrid instead of electric motor drive, so the driving method of the power element will be different, and it can also be regarded as the first PHEV plug-in gasoline model equipped with a Direct4 four-wheel drive system.
According to the japanese media estimates of the model power compilation, the overhauled RX series is expected to have at least four power configurations, including the RX 350 powered by a 2.4-liter direct-injection gasoline turbine, the RX 350h with a 2.5-liter gasoline-electric hybrid, and the RX 450h+ model with a 2.5-liter plug-in gasoline-electric hybrid, and it is expected that the RX 500h model, which is the first to be seen in the new generation of RX, may use a 2.4-liter gasoline turbine engine and a gasoline system to become a new generation of RX The top gauge power configuration of the car series.
