It is no secret that Lexus is currently producing the next-gen RX SUV and now, the luxury arm of Toyota has gone public to shed more details on the upcoming vehicle.
Lexus revealed earlier today that both the RX350 and RX450 will be featuring aluminium on its framework. In detail, the Japanese firm will have aluminium hood, tailgate and closures made of aluminium.
The new choice of metal is engineered to be as sturdy as conventional metals while also being much lighter. According to Lexus, this will strongly aid in improving the RX’s fuel economy and power output.
Aluminium is a growing trend in the automotive industry and it is already being picked up by most major carmakers worldwide. With Lexus picking up the trend for the future RX, the SUV will remain competitive when making its debut next year.
