Concept

In the Lexus RX, it was evolved by carefully refining vehicle fundamentals including the center of gravity, inertia properties, weight reduction, and chassis rigidity. At the same time, a sharp focus was applied to enhancing the refined ride quality and quietness that are Lexus hallmarks.

Interior

The seats in the Lexus RX feature a TNGA frame, which together with a deep-hung construction, helps to maintain a minimal-burden driving posture even on long drives. The deep-hung construction pulls the upholstery fixing position deeply inward on the pad side, reducing the change in the sitting pressure on the cushion when subjected to a load from the side, to provide excellent postural stability during cornering.

The design of the next generation of Lexus RX was driven by the dedicated pursuit of a unique identity and proportions, born from a dynamic driving experience. It is expressed in the design concept ALLURING x VERVE, which evokes a captivating and seductive presence, with a powerful sense of spirit.

Safety

Inside Corolla XSE

E-Latch + Safe Exit Assist

SEA in the Lexus RX uses the BSM (Blind Spot Monitor System) to detect vehicles (including bicycles) approaching from the rear when exiting the vehicle. If SEA determines a collision with an opened door or exiting occupants is a possibility, an indicator in the door mirror lights up to alert occupants. In addition, if an occupant tries to open a door, the e-latch system cancels door unlatch operation.

Blind Spot Monitor

During lane changes, the BSM in the Lexus RX uses rear lateral side millimeter-wave radar to detect vehicles present in the blind spots (areas in adjacent lanes that cannot be seen using the outer mirrors) and alerts the driver using an indicator in the outer mirror and a buzzer.
