Spy Shots: 2010 Lexus RX

It's time for Lexus to introduce the new version of its popular RX crossover. Now the first clear spy shots of the 2010 Lexus RX have surfaced. As we see on the pictures, the new Lexus RX will carry some similar design cues to recently showed LF-Xh Concept.

The new RX won't be so different from the current version. The updated version takes on more of Lexus' L-finesse styling concepts, and from these shots, the most striking revision seems to be in the rear pillar and taillamps.

The new RX carried nearly identical dimensions to the current vehicle. That similar stance disguised a five-inch stretch in wheelbase, so a much more second-row legroom is expected. A V6 will be standard; likely options will include a seven-speed automatic, all-wheel drive, and the logical hybrid version.
