2012 Geneva Motor Show

2012 Geneva Motor Show, Lexus is to premiere its updated RX 450h at the Geneva Motor Show. It gets a tweaked front end, as you can see in this teaser shot. The update brings the styling into line with the new GS, which will also be displayed at the show before going on sale in June. Pricing should remain the same, starting at around £45,000.

Details are sparse at the moment, with Lexus keeping its lips sealed until the Geneva premiere, but besides the restyled front end buyers can expect improvements to the cabin, more equipment options, LED lights and new alloy wheels.

The RX was initially launched in 2009 and this will be the first major overhaul it’s received, so besides the superficial alterations it’s fair to expect improved fuel economy and emissions, too.

A new F Sport model will bring with it further styling enhancements, with a bolder, sportier look. It’s also reasonable to expect a slightly more powerful engine for this variant, but nothing has been confirmed yet.
