Unofficial Picture: 2010 Lexus RX



The leaks keep on coming from Toyota. Hot on the heels of secret images of the next-generation Prius come these brochure shots of the new RX SUV from the firm’s luxury arm, Lexus.
It’s set to make its official debut at the Los Angeles Motor Show later this month. And these pictures reveal that the all-new BMW X5 rival clearly evolves the look of the current generation, but has a more prominent grille and sleeker lines.
The interior is full of dramatic shapes, with a bold triangular centre console clad in silver trim mounted below a large screen that displays sat-nav information. The RX is expected to grow slightly, so there will be more passenger space available. For the first time, buyers will get the option of a seven-seater version, too. As the new RX will be heavier than its predecessor, Lexus is expected to offer even more powerful engines.
The entry-level 3.5-litre V6 petrol unit for the RX350 is likely to be bumped up to around 280bhp, and while there are no plans to introduce a diesel, Lexus will increase the power on the hybrid version, called the RX450h. It’s likely to get the same 3.5-litre V6 petrol-electric unit as the GS450h saloon, and will deliver around 340bhp. There are rumours thatthe 4.6-litre V8 from the LS460 will appear in the RX, too.
A new six-speed automatic gearbox is also expected. First to arrive will be the RX350 late next year, with other variants hitting showrooms in 2010 at the earliest.
As ever, an incredible array of gadgets is set to be included as standard, with even entry-level models getting a reversing camera, heated leather seats and Bluetooth phone connection. More details of the new model will be revealed at the Los Angeles show, which opens on 21 November. For more details click here.
