Spy Shot: Brochure Reveals 2010 Lexus RX Before L.A. Debut
Even though Lexus is reportedly unveiling the 2010 RX at the Los Angeles Auto Show next month, this Japanese brochure scan reveals what looks to be a production-ready image of the popular Lexus crossover.
The new RX is anticipated to be longer, wider, taller, and heavier in order to potentially pave the way for an upcoming seven-seat configuration, which could render Lexus' GX SUV somewhat obsolete. Under the hood, the current RX's 3.5-liter V-6 will carry over with a slight boost in power and torque. A new six-speed automatic will also be available as well as Lexus' Super Electronically Controlled gearshift program. A V-8 option may also be in the works for the RX, too. A bit of Venza-inspired styling gives the new RX a fresh, clean look -- a good thing, as the current RX is growing a bit old as far as styling goes.
The RX400h hybrid is expected to arrive about one year after the new RX's release with an updated V-6 hybrid system under the hood. Stay tuned for the full details from Los Angeles next month.
