What Changed
The RX is overhauled with new styling inside and out. The RX lineup remains the same with both V6 and hybrid models offered in FWD and AWD. The gas/electric hybrid model is now called the RX 450h. The new model is roughly the same size, increasing only 1 inch in length and 2 inches in width. Although the RX has gained both weight and power, its fuel economy has improved.
