Inside the cabin as well, there would a host of updates. The Lexus RX SUV is expected to get the automaker's new infotainment system with a 12.3-inch touchscreen display with a wide range of connectivity features. This could be similar to what is available in the Lexus NX and in the recently updated UX as well. Expect the upcoming luxury SUV to receive Lexus Safety System+ 2.5 ADAS suite as standard in all variants, in line with the automaker’s strategy. The safety suite is a bundle of several tech-driven safety features.
