Lexus RX facelift – leaked images ahead of Geneva debut

Lexus RX facelift – leaked images ahead of Geneva debut

You’d figure that automakers might as well get it over and done with, release images the moment they’re ready to go, because with increasing alacrity does the inevitable happen more than not these days, in this case the leaky boat syndrome.

The next paddle steamer to take water is Lexus’ refreshened RX, which is set to debut in Geneva next week. First, images of the reinterpreted third-gen SUV broke via a brochure a little while back, and if that ha-ha moment wasn’t enough, further images of the vehicle have now surfaced on the Web.

The RX 450 h and the first F Sport interpretation of the full hybrid luxury SUV are the Swiss show premieres, and the vehicle wears a new front fascia, replete with a spindle-shaped grille, reminiscent of that seen on the striking LF-LC Concept. As for the entire lowdown on the new RX, Geneva will provide the necessary, unless another hole springs up before then, of course.

    Really hate UMW. Feel like they try to rip our money off by selling camo Toyota model under luxury name. But yet they sell the 3rd world sub standard Toyota model at a very expensive price.

      please get your facts right before bashing. This current generation of the RX has a new platform that has never been shared with any Toyota before. It’s a brand new car. Get your ass in a Lexus and you’ll shut your mouth.

        big deal…i have driven this suv before. it is nothing to shout about except for the high price and slightly lower road noise. other than that, its nothing….even a kia sportage has more presence n looks more awesome
