GENEVA MOTOR SHOW: Lexus RX facelift

Minor revisions for mid-size Lexus SUV to be introduced at next month's Geneva Motor Show

Leaked images [from a Japanese brochure] show Lexus plans to reveal a facelifted version of its RX series SUV at the Geneva Motor Show next month.

Although the changes include revised tail lights and minor interior tweaks, most recognition will come from a new-look front end complete with a broader, horizontal-slat grille comprising an integrated in-bumper cut-out, teardrop foglamps and revised headlights. The horizontal emphasis replaces the current model’s vertically angled grille vanes.

Interior changes are believed to include a new-look steering wheel and some additional splashes of metallic trim.

Powertrains, including petrol V6 and hybrid variants, are expected to remain unchanged, but a new F Sport model is reportedly due to join the lineup brandishing extra body kit and interior garnishing.

The Geneva Motor Show run from March 8 - 18 with press reveals beginning March 6. Visit motoring.com.au from March 6 for all the news.
