Playing in advance, Lexus presented the next generation of the RX Suv at Los Angeles car show that will arrive to the market in June 2009. Changing the design of the headlights and the muzzle, with much more imposing grille and bumper.
The rear is more squared and cornered then the previous model, but the shape of the trapezoidal headlights helps make the line more slender. There are some changes that are even more evident: the inclination of the pavilion and new lines of side windows make the RX 450h a cleaner version.
There are more news under the hood: the heat propeller, a 3.5 petrol V6 now develops 295 horse powers, that make it 27 more than the previous model. Among the innovations there are also two energy recovery systems that act on the start & stop and the exhaust recirculation. The non-hybrid version, the RX 350, has the same V6, paired with a sequential six-speed transmission. The first data on consumption of 450h speak of an average of 14.8 kilometers per liter with CO2 emissions equal to 192 g / km.
