Overview
The Lexus RX (AL20) is the fourth generation of the Lexus RX range of mid-size luxury crossover SUVs produced by luxury marque Lexus, a luxury division of Japanese brand Toyota. Sold by the brand from 2015 to 2022, the vehicle features a range of straight-four and V6 engines. The RX features a complete redesign from the previous generation. Initial models consisted of the RX 350 FWD (GGL20) and the RX 350 AWD (GGL25), before the 200t (renamed to 300 from 2018) (FWD; AGL20/AWD; AGL25), and the 450h (FWD; GYL20/AWD; GYL25) had both came in 2016.
Lexus debuted the fourth-generation RX at the April 2015 New York International Auto Show, including a "floating roof design" and a revised, bolder "Spindle Grille". Petrol models are equipped with either a 2.0 or a 3.5-litre engine with an optional 6- or 8-speed automatic transmission, while the 450h hybrid uses a 3.5 equipped with an electrically controlled continuously variable transmission (eCVT).
The vehicle is based on the discontinued Toyota K platform which is shared with the XV60 ES and the XU50 Toyota Highlander/Kluger. The K platform was succeeded by the GA-K platform. The North American RX models are manufactured in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada and have about 25 percent of their parts coming from Japan. The RX is also manufactured in Toyota's plant in Fukuoka, Kyushu, Japan for markets outside North America with 64 percent of its parts coming from Japan. The RX had started production in September 2015 for the 2016 model year in the US. The Lexus RX L is an extended length model which is available in both 350 and 450h models.
The release of the RX in the United States was scheduled for November 2015. For the first time in the U.S. market, Lexus released an F Sport version of the RX hybrid, the RX 450h F Sport.
