the short answer is yes. However, its not like a direct carry over. I am sure Lexus does not a lot of finessing to the programming of the ECU to make it more refined. Also I dont know if additional changes need to be made in order to prepare the car to run of regular fuel versus premium.

Similar situation between the RX and the Toyota Highlander, but there is a HUGE difference in the execution. Lexus is executed at a much higher level than all Toyota's.

Thanks for asking the question. And thanks for the reply I have often thought the resemblence of the upper skelton was very similar between the Venza and the RX. Both are top quality so it makes sense they would share infrastucture.
