This is the subsequent generation of Lexus’;s bestseller.
What It Is: With the new NX now in play to do battle on the smaller sized end of the CUV spectrum, the sales-champ RX sees a size enhance for 2016, and the 4th generation of Lexus’s bread-and-butter crossover might see the addition of third-row seating.

Powertrain: Count on a V-6, as nicely as a V-6 hybrid. The stunning point about the RX is that it’s a pretty simple automobile to make predictions about.
