Overview
The fifth-generation RX was unveiled on 31 May 2022. Built on the GA-K platform, it is available in four models: RX 350, RX 350h, RX 450h+, and RX 500h F Sport Performance. The RX 500h model is equipped with Direct4 all-wheel drive system. The fifth-generation RX maintains the same overall length as the former model, although the wheelbase has grown to 2850 mm (extended by 60 mm) with the wider body at 1920 mm (widened by 25 mm). The switch to the GA-K platform resulted in a lower weight by 90 kg, and a lower center of gravity by 15 mm as well as wider tracks. The newer platform, revised dimensions, and fitment of suspension components allow for larger interior space.
Powertrain
The fifth-generation RX is offered with four-cylinder engines from Toyota's Dynamic Force family, with the 3.5-liter V6 option dropped entirely.
