RX Executive

The all-new RX benefits from the advanced active safety and driver assistance systems featured in the latest 3rd generation of Lexus Safety System +, with upgraded and additional functions offering increased safety performance. These include Proactive Driving Assist with steering assist and a new Driver Monitor to check drivers for signs of fatigue or distraction. Additionally, Proactive Driving Assist uses the front camera to determine the angle of a bend, adjusting the steering force when approaching a turn.

Embracing electrification, our designers undertook the challenge of incorporating the new ‘spindle body’ design identity into the latest RX. This resulted in improved signature grille integration that expresses a sense of electrified power and a low centre of gravity. More compact and sleeker headlights, air intakes and a wider track (15 mm) further consolidate the stable, confident look. Sleeker, sharper and more horizontal 3-projector LED headlights with BladeScan® Adaptive High-beam System (AHS) convey a highly distinctive impression of sophisticated design.

Power delivery on the RX 500h is controlled by DIRECT4, an exclusive Lexus drive force technology. This new system constantly balances the power and torque between the front and rear axles in any driving situation, more precisely than any mechanical system could ever do. Enabling more feel between the road and steering wheel, DIRECT4 ensures improved handling stability and excellent driving dynamics at high speed. The E-FOUR electric all-wheel drive system available on the new RX 350h and RX 450h+ has been upgraded so that the 40kW rear electric motor is always operational, providing more torque and greater traction.
