It's been the case for years, and it's probably no surprise given that Lexus was the first to ever offer a luxury midsize crossover in the market. The current generation shown in 2022 for the 2023 model year picked up where the previous generation left off, and did so with relatively little effort.More than sales, the RX is a hugely competent choice in its class. However, it's not getting any younger, as the present model has been around for close to four model years now. At that age, it's due for a facelift, and a report from Japan claims it might be coming pretty soon.LexusWhen is a New One Coming?Lexus isn't putting out any teasers or anything of the sort just yet, so it's not coming out any time soon. However, Japanese publication MotorFan claims that it'll be revealed as early as the end of this year, or as late as the first quarter of 2027. We still have about half the year left, so there's still time for Lexus to start dropping some hints.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe impending facelift should give us some idea when the next-generation RX will debut. Should the revised RX reach customers by next year, we're giving it three years before the reveal of the all-new model. If it's 2027 for the facelift, then it could be 2030 for the all-new model.Lexus'Major' Facelift ExpectedA few prototypes of the updated Lexus RX have been spotted around Europe. The front bumper is completely covered, but curiously, the headlights are out in the open. Perhaps major may be a stretch, but it's something new nonetheless.Given Lexus' new design language that was kicked off by the ES, we might see some elements of that being applied to the hugely popular crossover. Perhaps it won't go as far as the grille-less look, but we wouldn't be all too surprised if the facelifted RX tries to ape the look of its stablemate. The revamped IS might also give us some idea of how Lexus will change the RX's nose.SH Proshots/AutoblogBigger Changes Inside?While the exterior changes might not be too significant, there might be something more on the inside. The publication reckons that the new RX could benefit from some changes at the very least.AdvertisementAdvertisementAgain, referring to the redesigned ES, the updated RX might get some interior elements from the midsize sedan, namely a new touchscreen. We're not expecting it to run the same software as the new ES, but expect some enhancements in the interface. Then again, Lexus could surprise us all by actually giving it a totally redesigned infotainment system, but it's likelier that the company would rather save that for the next generation. Powertrains are expected to be carried over from the current model.LexusThis story was originally published by Autoblog on Jul 27, 2026, where it first appeared in the News section.
