Lexus Philippines has officially launched the all-new, fifth-generation RX. The Japanese carmaker unveiled the new crossover at its new space in Mitsukoshi BGC.
Its updated design features a large spindle grille that dominates the front fascia. Its track sits 15mm wider than the previous model, giving it a more car-like stance. Inside, the RX features what Lexus calls a ‘Tazuna’ cockpit concept—a name inspired by the Japanese word for using reins to control a horse. The interior layout sees things like the infotainment screen, gauge clusters, and heads-up display grouped in such a way that they are all visible to the driver with minimal head and eye movement.

The latter’s total output is 366hp and 550Nm of torque, with a promised 0-100kph time of 6.2 seconds.
