I asked the dealer when the new RX would be out; they said not for another 2 years, maybe 3.
I don't believe them.

Word is, the new hybrid drivetrain could be turbo 4 cylinder and electric AWD. Our V6 based drivetrain is low-end torquey enough, smooth and probably an easy 300 mile engine.
I have not even seen a new RX rendering.
The new design will be 2023 MY. Eight year run for the current gen.

Not crazy about turbo 4s. The 3.5L V-6 is smooth and responsive. And, reliable. Turbo 4s? Not so much.

Yeah, that's my dream -- a brand new engine design with zero history in the field.
