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.
