Lexus has confirmed the world premiere of the new generation RX for June 1, while publishing the first teaser photo of the luxury SUV that it says has “undergone a complete renewal”.
The teaser gives us a good idea of the front end design which incorporates Lexus’ latest design language. The new and more sculpted nose is similar to the smaller NX, but the spindle grille is not covered, featuring a modern pattern. Furthermore, the LED headlights are sharper than before, and the bumper intakes have grown for a sportier look.

While we can’t see the profile or the rear end of the RX, we expect an evolutionary approach with modern surfacing. Inside, the RX will benefit from Lexus’ new infotainment with the 12.3-inch touchscreen as seen on the NX and the recently updated UX. The Lexus Safety System+ 2.5 ADAS suite will most likely come standard in all variants, in line with the automaker’s strategy.
The current fourth-generation Lexus RX debuted back in 2015, and received a facelift in 2019, along with some minor model year updates since. Like its predecessors, the new model will feature a hybrid powertrain that is expected to be improved in terms of power output and efficiency.
We will learn more details about the 2023 Lexus RX in the digital presentation on Wednesday, June 1st.
