Lexus: Lexus will display the upgraded LC500h coupe and the fifth-generation RX SUV at the upcoming Auto Expo 2023. Now that the manufacturer has confirmed it, we can say that both models’ prices will be revealed during the auto show.
It will be Lexus’ first time attending the Auto Expo, and it will join Volvo as the only premium automakers present this year. Although there are currently no plans to introduce an electric vehicle anytime soon, Lexus is also likely to take advantage of this chance to demonstrate some of its EVs to assess customer interest.

The fifth-generation Lexus RX debuted internationally in June of this year and features a totally different design language than the previous model. With a completely new spindle grille, sharper LED headlamps and taillamps, and a coupe-like back quarter, it has a more upright appearance. The interior is also entirely redesigned, with much fewer switches and a big touchscreen in the centre.
The new RX is anticipated to be sold in India as the 350h model, which features a 246 horsepower, 2.5-liter, four-cylinder powerful hybrid powertrain. Although it is not anticipated that these models will be sold in India, the RX is also available globally with a 2.4-litre turbo-petrol engine and a plug-in hybrid powertrain.

Modest aesthetic improvements to the revised LC500h coupe include a slightly modified front grille and modifications to the interior decor and upholstery. It will still be available with the same 359 horsepower, 3.5-litre V6 hybrid powerplant. The 5.0-litre naturally aspirated V8 engine that powers the LC500 also powers the convertible version of the vehicle. However, neither of these will be on the India lineup.
