Prototypes for the next-generation Lexus RX SUV have been spotted in Germany and this time the heavy camouflage that masked previous test cars is no longer present. The SUV’s distinctive profile can clearly be seen as can some of the details of the new head and taillights. The prototypes also reveal that the final design of the new RX will be heavily influenced by the lines of the LF-Xh hybrid SUV concept from last year’s Tokyo Motor Show.
Key features include the waterfall-style front grille and angular headlights plus a smoother overall shape than the current car. The new RX is also expected to be slightly larger than the current model, and there could be a new seven-seater model with three-row seating in the 2010 lineup.
The base model will retain the familiar 3.5L V6 engine but a new V8 model could also be added. The new range will also pick up a six-speed automatic as standard in place of the older model’s five-speeder. The hybrid model, due one year after the initial debut, will feature a V6 engine mated to an electric motor and is expected to develop close to 400hp (298kW).
Production of the new RX range will start at the end of year with first sales expected in the first quarter of 2009.
