Lexus India has launched the 2023 RX SUV at a starting price of Rs. 95.80 lakh (ex-showroom). Available in RX 350h and RX 500h F Sport variants, the bookings for the SUV had commenced in January 2023 when it was showcased at the Auto Expo 2023. 

2023 Lexus RX exterior highlights

Firstly, both variants of the new Lexus RX get a new face, where the spindle-shaped front grille looks more modern and now merges with the body colour, towards the brand logo and sleeker LED headlamps. On the side, the most evident changes are the new 21-inch alloy wheels and an increased wheelbase of 2,850mm, which is 60mm more than the older model. Further, the 500h F Sport gets a glossy, black finish on the wheels. Besides this, other styling elements, such as the coupe-like roof style and the floating roof design have been retained. 

At the rear, the Lexus RX looks appealing with the full-width LED tail lamps and the ‘Lexus’ lettering that takes the centre of the tailgate. The plastic cladding along with the silver skid plate adds a touch of ruggedness to the overall profile. The RX can now be had in new Sonic Copper exterior hue.
