Lexus RX Morizo RR development

Overview

Lexus is developing a high-performance version of its RX SUV, designated as the Morizo RR. Initial reports indicated the prototype features performance-oriented modifications such as widened wheel arches, aggressive air intakes, and Brembo brakes. The vehicle is expected to utilize a hybrid powertrain, potentially featuring a new 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo engine capable of producing over 600 horsepower to meet Euro 7 emission standards.

Subsequent observations of the prototype undergoing testing in Europe confirmed technical details, including a widened track with fender extensions, lowered suspension, and a specialized wheel-and-tire package using Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV tires. The model is projected to enter the market around 2028, aiming to compete with luxury high-performance models like the BMW X5 M and Audi RS Q8.
