Lexus has launched its all new Lexus RX SUV, a car which has always aimed to be the benchmark in refinement with its soft road demeanour and plush interior. For the latest generation Lexus RX, the brand has ensured to include a whole host of technological, stylistic and innovative improvements.
For starters, the RX rides on the GA-K platform, which is 90kg lighter than the previous platform. Its centre of gravity is 15mm lower than its predecessor too thanks to use of stronger metals.
The new Lexus RX will come with many attractive colour choices, with some new to the RX range For customers who value comfort, they will be pleased to find out that the GA-K platform also increases the front/rear couple distance, which results in more legroom for rear passengers. RX guests will also enjoy increased cargo space and a lowered back door trim to decrease loading height.
A thoroughly revised suspension is affixed to the 2023 RX's new GA-K platform. MacPherson front struts provide sharp turn-in and confident, linear handling.
Suspension arms and bushings better absorb the passing road's vibrations and shocks. The rear's new five-arm multi-link setup is more compact than before, providing more space in the cabin.
Love it or hate it, it seems spelt out brand name logos are here to stay The new Lexus RX also now comes with a spindle body, instead of a spindle grille as seen on past Lexus models. A seamless grille at the front provides a strong, clean presence and marks the origination of the spindle body. The brand claims that this better emphasises the newfound athleticism of the car.
The front fascia also efficiently directs airflow around the spindle body while cooling its brakes. Other aerodynamic elements include flush window and door moldings, a rear spoiler and dimpled underbody covers.
The 2023 RX will be offered in 10 exterior colour options depending on grade: Ultra White, Eminent White Pearl, Nebula Gray Pearl, Iridium, Caviar, Matador Red Mica, Copper Crest, Nori Green Pearl, Nightfall Mica and Grecian Water.
Brand logo design might be a highly subjective opinion, but Lexus interiors are objectively in a class of their own Being a flagship Lexus, customers can expect a high level of quality for the interior of the new RX. For example, the exquisitely named 'tazuna concept' is used, orientating all essential controls and information within the driver's reach and forward sightline, and directs the space's expansive, minimalist layout.
Premium materials and patterns decorate the cabin. An available L-shaped pattern also adorns the doors and seats.
This is inspired by the Japanese 'kageri' aesthetic, which produces a varying three-dimensional expression when lit by outside or interior lighting.
