2016 Lexus RX seven-seater spy photos

The automotive spies recently took some pictures of the seven-seat luxury Lexus RX SUV and it now appears the model will be announced in coming weeks.

In an interview with Wards Auto, Lexus Group Vice President and General Manager Jeff Bracken stated the company “could make an announcement pretty soon.”

The executive interview went on to say dealers have been requesting furiously for the model and noted the seven passenger crossover/SUV segment is a “significant market” that Lexus isn’t competing in aggressively yet.

While Bracken declined to confirmed the model is coming soon, previous spy pictures have shown the seven-seat variant will look virtually identical to the regular model but be several inches longer for extra passenger space.

Engine options are most likely to carryover and include a 3.5-liter V6 with 300 horsepower and a hybridized 3.5-liter V6 that develops approximately 300 horsepower also .
