A few more observations:
- The grey model shown in the video has a lowered suspension, making it look sportier and more cohesive than it actually is. Is there an air suspension on these things? I've never seen one that low. - One easy improvement would be the addition of nicer stock rims. The current units are flowery and Hot Wheels. - The current MDX sells extremely well in my neck of the woods. I think the third row and realistic prices has much to do with that. This RXL should pick up that slack nicely. - Where are the tailpipes on the gas model? No one has mentioned the cost-cutting there. |
RX350 currently is the same length as the 3 row highlander. The RX350L is with 1/2 inch of the MDX. Looks to have about the same space in the 3rd row also as the MDX so should compete quite well (been in the MDX, 3rd row is good for storage but not much else). Most that I see with a 3rd row seem to hardly, if ever, use them. Those that do need them, have a van or Tahoe/Expedition type vehicle.

I'm amazed it took them this long. Should've been done 10 years ago.

I wouldn’t assume people don’t use 3rd row seats often. Many don’t, but many others, like me, use them all of the time. The lack of a third row is the only reason we didn’t get another RX.

In french but you can browse through the pictures

Looking at the pictures, it seems the climate controls for the rear are in the 3rd row?? I looked closely at the 2nd row and nothing but vents were there. Why would they put the climate controls in an area that's used less?

That bottom-up angle does not do it justice; it is NOT a normal, everyday angle and exaggerates that front grille. Standing next to it, we would be looking down at that front end, not up at it.

So they didn't facelift it. Interesting. It appears this will be the lame duck model, with only a year or two on the market before the short wheelbase model gets facelifted. Not a good return on the tooling dollar. Or, they will stretch out the timeframe for both. Poor timing in my opinion. This should have been released either when the current RX debuted or when the facelift debuts.

Said it all along. They should have just introduced a new model based on the TNGA. Now this thing will be 3yrs behind when the next RX debuts. Or maybe the next RX will be 3 row only and this is just a half model year?

This would seemingly indicate that any facelifts will be restricted to front and rear bumpers/lights, where the tooling costs are much smaller. No big hard-point changes to be made for the RX/RX-L facelift

The only other thing I noticed was the movement of the rear windshield wiper from under the spoiler to on the glass

Looks like they are bringing the Toyota Venza back as a Lexus!
