2016 Lexus RX prototype spotted

The next generation Lexus RX has been spotted out in the wild with heavy camouflage. Due to hit markets in late 2015 or early 2016, the all-new fourth-generation Lexus RX will sport the company’s trademark spindle grille and aggressive headlights.

Judging from the spy photos, the new RX looks slightly longer than the current model, with a stretched wheelbase, suggesting a possible seven-seat configuration for the mid-size crossover. The current RX is a strict five-seater.

Like the smaller Lexus NX crossover, the RX will most likely feature a more edgy design with sharper lines and creases. Under the bonnet, expect a range of petrol V6 and hybrid setups. The new turbo 2.0 powering the NX 200t could also make it to the RX.
