...are these leaks? The exterior hasn't changed much.

If it is a PHEV, then it'll likely use the same powertrain and Direct-4 setup as the RAV4 Prime.

The interior looks like it's using the same design language as the Mirai. Shows how close to production it was as the 5th-gen GS before it was canned.

Looks decent, but quite evolutionary. Glad to see they put the gear shifter back next to the driver and not on the other side of the console.

A video was posted on Youtube, but when I tried to go back and get the link to share with you guys but it was taken down. Good thing I was able to take some screenshots for everyone.

I see. Excellent work, but Lexus probably isn't too happy with the cat being out the bag so soon.

Excellent! We are thankful! This will be one of the most important updates for Lexus and their bottom line.

I don't see the similarities. The images above appear to be an updated version of the RX's center console.

In the video description it said "source Lexus Europe" or something along those lines. I thought they had permission. Oh well, you guys better save them before Lexus take the screenshots down.

A similar video leak happened with the refreshed IS, which was shared a couple days before it was officially unveiled. I think we'll be seeing the official announcement very soon.

Someone saved the video. Many of the comments I've read also spot the Mirai similarities with the interior.

Nice, I hope none of these get removed. Lexus screwed my family a few years ago so this is a great way of giving them the finger lol.

Yeah, the lines and design on the interior are borderline OTT for me, but overall I like it and hopefully they paid a lot of attention to ergonomics.

I'm really excited for this car after all the overwhelmingly positive feedback for the RAV4 PHEV, just wonder if Lexus can make enough.
