Evolutionary design from Lexus
What you experience is the result of an evolution of Lexus interior design - Project Chief Designer Jota Kusakari explains: “We challenged ourselves to create a simple yet thoughtful space that did not rely on ornamentation.
“We focused on giving the trim, seats and armrests a tactile feel worthy of a high-quality interior, even paying attention to the door opening and closing feel, as well as the audio quality, to realise a standard that inspires the senses,” says Kusakari.
The new design is visible in the dashboard's clean, continuous form, taking in the metre hood instrument panel and door trims. The new e-latch electronic door release system positions the handles lower, allowing the upper section of the door panels to shape as a natural extension of the instrument panel.
“Embodying the tazuna concept, the cockpit design realises a space that allows the driver to have a deeper, more intuitive connection with the car, enabling them to control it as intended,” says Kusakari.

The sensory quality takes everything from the new multimedia system with an improved Human Machine Interface (HMI) that combines an intuitive touch screen and physical button controls to the appearance and tactile feel of new trims and upholstery.
The cabin’s relaxing design reflects in how you can communicate directly with the car. The new ‘Hey Lexus’ on-board assistant is ready to respond to requests and commands using natural, conversational speech.
Visual and practical changes mean more knee and leg room for rear seat passengers with an improved forward and side view - while access has been made easier with a lower hip-point and the easy access power adjustment.
Ample load space and legroom
For family trips, the rear load compartment matches the current RX for capacity, despite the new model having a shorter rear overhang.
