All new RX models benefit from a stiffer body structure thanks to additional spot welds placed in the rear wheel housings and C-pillars. Each model has a specific suspension calibration with the RX270 having a softer tune than the 350 and 450h models and the 450h tuned to accommodate its heavier mass.

Structural changes for the AL10.II RX included additional spot welds and reinforcements around the dashboard panel for a stiffer chassis; the suspension was also revised for greater ride comfort and the steering for improved feel.

Yeah it seemed to come up quite a bit in the Australian media, but didn't really get mentioned at all for North America. Begs the question as to whether or not the Canadian factory and/or LHD models also implemented the changes.
