Lexus wants to expand its SUV range by offering a 3-row version of the RX – the RX 350L, slated to be unveiled at the 2017 Los Angeles Auto Show. There’ll also be a hybrid version on offer, which will be called the RX 450hL.
The teaser image (featured) suggests that the design won’t be much different than the standard RX 350 (above), and its probably safe to assume that the ‘L’ is nothing but the long wheelbase version to accommodate the additional row.
The RX that paved the way for the luxury crossover segment 20 years ago will retain its stylish figure while also providing more flexibility for passengers, said the company in an official statement.
The RX 350L might feature the same 295 hp 3.5L V6 with FWD or AWD options, while the RX 450hL will most likely have a total system output of 308 hp with 3.5L V6 Atkinson cycle engine and AWD configuration. The hybrid variant will have a rear electric motor for an instant torque, and EV mode as well.
