VENICE FILM FESTIVAL 

The 2022 Venice International Film Festival provided a prestigious backdrop for our Lexus Electrified models, including the RX luxury SUV.                                                                

“NEXT CHAPTER” LEXUS DESIGN

On the RX luxury SUV, “Next Chapter” design results in an elongated bonnet, sculpted doors, larger wheels and a new “spindle body” design. 

F SPORT DESIGN GRADE AVAILABLE ON
RX 450h+, RX 350h & RX 350.

The RX range now features the sports-inspired F SPORT Design grade. This variant is available on the plug-in hybrid RX 450h+, the self-charging hybrid RX 350h & on the petrol
RX 350.

F SPORT Design details ensure this RX is a true head-turner. Black mesh type front grill and air inlets embolden the RX’ stance and road presence. A black front lower bumper and black rear bumper, both fitted with satin silver inserts, provide purposeful accents alongside seven premium body colour options, including the F SPORT exclusive F White and Sapphire Blue.

BOLD F SPORT APPEARANCE

                                                                                 The striking, bold appearance of the F SPORT Design grade is elevated by the stylish black outer mirror covers and the dynamic 21” black wheels, of the same design as the F SPORT Performance grade but with a distinctive glossy finish.

F SPORT Design models are proudly identified via an exclusive badge, discreetly displaying the legendary Lexus F on a silver background on the side of the iconic RX coupe-like form.

LUXURY & COMFORT

                                                                                    Inside, the clean and spacious F SPORT Design-grade cabin benefits from the welcoming luxury generated by the famed Lexus Takumi craftsmen. Multi-colour ambient illumination and genuine smooth leather seat trims are standard on F SPORT Design models. They complement four interior colour combinations, including the light Ammonite Sand and Hazel options. From behind the wheel, direct yet intuitive controls for the driver are based on the Lexus Tazuna design concept, which simplifies the location and operation of the controls and information sources, to maximise attention on the pleasure of driving.

EXTREMELY STRONG PLATFORM

The new RX is built on our GA-K platform, extending the wheelbase, but also integrating additional cross members and braces to increase rigidity. This extra strength has allowed Lexus engineers to tune the suspension more accurately, improving both performance and comfort. This new platform is 90 kg lighter and has a lower centre of gravity. Whilst the wheelbase is extended by 60 mm yet maintaining the overall length and reducing yaw, the track is wider and the wheels larger, making for a more confident stance and grip.

DIRECT4 / E-FOUR POWER CONTROL

Power delivery on the RX 500h is controlled by DIRECT4, an exclusive Lexus drive force technology. This new system constantly balances the power and torque between the front and rear axles in any driving situation, more precisely than any mechanical system could ever do. Enabling more feel between the road and steering wheel, DIRECT4 ensures improved handling stability and excellent driving dynamics at high speed. The E-FOUR electric all-wheel drive system available on the new RX 350h and RX 450h+ has been upgraded so that the 40kW rear electric motor is always operational, providing more torque and greater traction.

ADAPTIVE VARIABLE SUSPENSION*

Enabling a substantial hike in performance, the RX’s new multi-link rear suspension delivers superior lateral stability and anti-squat characteristics. Capable of handling higher levels of torque, it also substantially reduces noise, vibration and harshness. Specially tuned to enhance drivability and handling around fast corners, Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) controls the damping force on all four wheels.

*Only available on RX 500h and Luxury grade of RX 450h+ and RX 350h

THIRD GENERATION LEXUS SAFETY SYSTEM +

The RX benefits from the advanced active safety and driver assistance systems featured in the latest 3rd generation of Lexus Safety System +, with upgraded and additional functions offering increased safety performance. These include Proactive Driving Assist with steering assist and a new Driver Monitor to check drivers for signs of fatigue or distraction. Additionally, Proactive Driving Assist uses the front camera to determine the angle of a bend, adjusting the steering force when approaching a turn.

ENHANCED PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM

Alongside detecting motorcycles during daytime, the enhanced Lexus Pre-Collision System allows more potential collisions to be avoided, such as at left/right turns, and with cut-in traffic. It can also recognise collision risks with oncoming traffic or crossing pedestrians when making a turn at a junction. The ability to avoid impacts is increased by Emergency Steering Assist.

DYNAMIC RADAR CRUISE CONTROL

This system uses a millimetre-wave radar sensor and camera to detect the vehicle in front and maintain an appropriate distance. If the vehicle in front comes to a halt, the RX will stop too. When the vehicle moves off again, you will too. It quickly recognises traffic cutting in front and, in conjunction with Lane Trace Assist, follows a more natural line through bends. Dynamic Radar Cruise Control will also prevent you from driving inside a slower vehicle driving in the outside lane.

NEWLY DESIGNED ALLOY WHEELS

Crafted for Luxury grades, this 20-spoke 21” wheel with a striking metallic finish and machined details, endows the new RX with a look of unmistakable distinction. 

SPINDLE BODY / SIGNATURE GRILLE / TRIPLE LED LIGHTS

Embracing electrification, our designers undertook the challenge of incorporating the new ‘spindle body’ design identity into the latest RX. This resulted in improved signature grille integration that expresses a sense of electrified power and a low centre of gravity. More compact and sleeker headlights, air intakes and a wider track (15 mm) further consolidate the stable, confident look. Sleeker, sharper and more horizontal 3-projector LED headlights with BladeScan® Adaptive High-beam System (AHS) convey a highly distinctive impression of sophisticated design.

LEXUS SIGNATURE REAR DESIGN / POWER TAILGATE

To the rear, a new Lexus signature blade light, with a distinctive L-shaped lighting design, spans the entire width of the latest RX. This single line taillight underlines the car’s iconic shape, while the wider track (65 mm) emboldens the stance and road presence.

Creating a modern and easily recognisable new look, the redesigned LEXUS logo is located on the centre of the tailgate. For easy loading and unloading, an exceptionally fast and responsive remote-controlled power tailgate ensures convenience, especially when your arms are full of shopping. With the key in your pocket, simply place your foot under the rear bumper to open the tailgate.

21-SPEAKER MARK LEVINSON*

The near-silent RX cabin provides the perfect setting for the bespoke new 21-speaker Mark Levinson Premium Surround Sound audio. Standard on higher grades and developed by our dedicated audio partner, this exclusive system is optimised for the car’s interior architecture.

Delivering a peerless 7.1-channel home theatre experience using a new 3D Surround Mark Levinson Surround System and Quantum Logic Immersion, ClariFi analyses the compressed sound source and complements lost data for exceptional sound quality. Enhancing the concert hall experience even further, a 22 cm subwoofer in the luggage compartment produces rich and powerful sound, vividly expressing the atmosphere and contour of the original music.

*Only available on RX 500h and Luxury grade of RX 450h+ and RX 350h

DIGITAL PANORAMIC VIEW MONITOR

For easier driving in confined spaces, the Digital Panoramic View Monitor provides a live 360° view around and pre-recorded view under the car. It also creates a virtual 3D image of your RX, showing the vehicle as if seen from above, with on-screen guides to assist close-quarter manoeuvring and offers the following features:

• Side Clearance View lets you check the clearance when passing another vehicle on a narrow road.
• Cornering View helps avoid mounting curbs when cornering.
• Front Cross Traffic Alert warns of approaching vehicles and obstacles, at the front and sides of the car.
• Pre-Collision System & Parking Support Brake warns of a possible collision and will even take preventive action.
• A view under the RX helps you drive on rougher surfaces.

SAFE EXIT ASSIST

The RX’s e-Latch electronic entry and exit system is linked to the car’s Blind Spot Monitor. The exclusive Safe Exit Assist function prevents the occupants from opening the door in the event of traffic such as cars or cyclists approaching from the rear. Lexus estimates this system can help prevent more than 95% of the accidents caused by door opening.
