Sometimes it only takes a small change to make a big difference. That\u2019s how Lexus has succeeded in designing its first seven-seat version of the RX luxury SUV, the new Lexus RX L. Focusing on small but crucial details, Lexus has created an impressive new member of the RX family, adding more seats to the cabin yet maintaining all of the comfort, convenience and quality that are true to our omotenashi principles of hospitality. Inside the new RX L there are two extra seats, generous knee and headroom for everyone and plenty of space for luggage.<\/p>\n<\/div>

But on the outside, the car is only 110mm longer than the five-seat model \u2013 barely the width of a man\u2019s hand. In fact, it\u2019s by adding those few extra millimetres that Lexus has created a new body for the RX, rather than trying to squeeze more seats into its existing model. At first glance, there\u2019s no mistaking that this is an RX, with all the strong and incisive styling.<\/p>\n<\/div>

But look more closely and you will notice that not only is the RX L longer at the rear, the angle of its back door\/tailgate has been made slightly steeper. That fine adjustment is actually key to making sure there\u2019s comfortable headroom if you sit in the third row of seats. Even more valuable millimetres have been gained simply by moving the rear wiper mechanism from the top to the bottom of the window. The cabin is designed to be a social space, what Lexus designers call a \u201clounge\u201d effect that\u2019s open and light and where it\u2019s easy for everyone to see what\u2019s happening, share conversations and enjoy the in-car entertainment together on longer journeys.<\/p>\n<\/div>
