Lexus RX The fifth generation was introduced on June 1, 2022. The company promised that the crossover would go on sale in the fall and kept its word.
The main design feature of the new RX became a “seamless” grille. It seems that the border between the grille and the bumper is missing.
“The new RX is the centerpiece for Lexus, so we rose to the challenge. The ride quality and design have changed radically. I think we’ve created a car that people will love,” said Takaaki Ono, chief engineer of the new Lexus RX.
Driving performance, they say, has improved significantly, and weight has decreased by 90 kg.
The car is equipped with a hybrid power plant. It is based on a 2.4-litre turbo petrol engine and two electric motors. This version was indexed “RX500h”.
Another hybrid power plant is created on the basis of a 2.5-liter engine and bears the index “RX450h +”. There is also a basic petrol version of the RX350 with a 2.4-liter inline-4-cylinder turbocharged engine.
Prices for Lexus RX in Japan are as follows. RX500h costs 9 million yen or 3.9 million rubles. For RX450h + you have to pay 8,710,000 yen (3.8 million rubles), and RX350 costs from 6,640,000 to 7,060,000 yen (2.9-3.1 million rubles).
