The Lexus RX Facelift is bound to make its global debut at the dealerships at the end of this year. The exciting thing is that the RX Facelift is going to be Lexus’ first ever vehicle to come out with aluminium parts.
Lexus has already shared that they picked up the aluminium trend for the RX Facelift with the sole intention of reducing the weight of the vehicle drastically. After all, a lighter RX Facelift will mean that it will offer more power and better fuel economy.
It was also revealed that the aluminium parts will be limited to the vehicle’s hood, tailgate and closures. If the implementation of aluminium turns out to be a major success, then Lexus will go all out with the material to produce their other vehicles.
Of course, Lexus has yet to share any performance figures yet so we don’t know on how drastic the improvements are going to be. More details on this are expected to come to light in the coming months.
