5th-gen Lexus RX Expected Specs

Lexus offer an array of hybrid and plug-in-hybrid powertrain options with the new RX in global markets. However, Lexus India are yet to reveal the powertrain details of the India-bound RX SUV. The latest addition to the RX range is the 2.4L turbocharged petrol engine. Variants powered by this engine also get an electric motor at the rear axle, which gives it all-wheel-drive capabilities.

5th-gen Lexus RX Rivals

The 5-th Lexus RX is likely to rival the BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz GLE, Audi Q7, Volvo XC90 and Land Rover Range Rover Velar in India. The RX incorporates a coupe-like roofline, which makes it a worthy contender against the BMW X6, Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe and the Audi Q8.

5th-gen Lexus RX Launch Timeline

Lexus India will showcase the RX SUV at the 2023 Auto Expo and we expect the Japanese carmaker to announce the SUV’s prices at the event or soon after. Alongside the RX, Lexus will also showcase the updated LC500h and a range of hybrid and pure-electric vehicles.

5th-gen Lexus RX Expected Price

It’s rather early to estimate the prices for the RX before as we do not have powertrain specifications of the India-bound model in hand. We expect the Lexus RX to hit our shores via the completely built unit (CBU) route.
