As part of the new generation of the RX series, Lexus' iconic luxury SUV lineup, the new luxury SUV RX270 is available in two models-the RX270 Elegance and the RX270 Luxury. The MSRPs for these two models are RMB 533,000 and RMB 598,000 respectively. As the third-generation addition to the Lexus RX series, the RX270 adheres to the elegant style of the RX series, providing Chinese consumers with a brand new, passionate driving experience by virtue of its superior quality, wide and comfortable space, and intelligent configuration.

Pristine Power: Freedom of Driving
The new RX270 delivers signature features of passionate driving experiences and pristine power. The RX270 is equipped with a 2.7-liter L4 DOHC valve Dual VVT-i engine. This compact but light-weight engine demonstrates superior performance with a maximum power output of 138 kW at 5,800 rpm, and a 252 Nm peak torque at 4,200 rpm. The RX270 is capable of accelerating from 0-100 km/h in only 11 seconds, with a maximum speed of 200 km/h. The newly adjusted engine is more fuel efficient, resulting in fewer and cleaner emissions. Meanwhile, the RX270 engine offers a wide range of fuel flexibility (compatible with 91-octane gasoline and above), which provides drivers with a variety of alternatives throughout their exciting journeys.

The new RX270 adopts the 6-speed automatic transmission (ECT). The light and compact ECT provides better fuel economy and further reduces impact upon shifting gears, perfectly balancing power and smoothness when driving.

The new RX270 comes with front-engine, front-drive power solutions and front-strut, double-wishbone rear suspension. Extended rear suspension arm span and high-rigidity arm drag make the RX270 more agile and stable. The shock absorbers and springs are lowered to save more space for the trunk and reduce the height of the trunk floor, allowing for more convenient luggage storage for drivers and passengers.

Superior Quality: Elegance and Dynamism
Since the introduction of its first-generation RX Luxury SUV into the United States in 1998, the Lexus RX series has opened and led a brand new market segment for city leisure SUVs focused on comfort and versatility. As one of the most iconic luxury auto brands, the Lexus RX series has captivated more than one million proud owners all over the world.

Inheriting the exquisite style and ideal quality of the RX series, the new RX270 is a product of the Lexus MUSTs first-class car-manufacturing technique. The strikingly elegant style and futuristic interior design make the RX270 a new star in the RX family of luxury SUVs.

The new RX270 has the same external and interior style as the third-generation RX350. A direct waterfall-type air intake grille, richly accented forward bumper and inlet form two trapezoidal shapes at the top and bottom. Together with sharp, upturned forward headlamps, these elements successfully outline a dynamic and powerful front design. A sporty curve extends along the roof from the engine compartment through the A-pillar to the rear. Also extending backwards, another smooth line from the front fender glides over the doors on each side before meeting the tail lights, profiling an integrated design of side windows. These two curves complement each other, perfectly depicting the elegant yet strong profile of the RX270. The concise rear design of the Lexus RX270 is composed of angular bulge rear lights and rising square rear fog lamps, with the exhaust pipe hidden below the rear bumper. In contrast to previous generations, the rear wiper is located under the spoiler to minimize blocked views and snow accumulation, making the RX270 even more elegant.

The interior of the new RX270 displays a forward-looking design. The unique innovative non-symmetrical control panel of the RX family has abandoned the traditional symmetrical shield-style design, making it not only novel and unique, but more ergonomic and easier to use. The technologically stylish Remote Touch information control system *(Only for the RX270 Luxury) has incorporated control of a number of functions, replacing busy buttons and dials, fully expressing Lexus' L-finesse design concept of "Intriguing Elegance", "Incisive Simplicity", and "Seamless Anticipation."

The new RX270 is 4770mm in length, 1885 mm in width, and 1725 mm in height (including the roof rack). The roomy interior makes the RX270 even more comfortable, satisfying the diverse needs of more family members.

Premium Intelligence: Pleasurable Journey
The new Lexus RX270 not only has elegant style and personalized interior space, but also provides occupants a driving experience of premium comfort by virtue of intelligent configuration.

The Intelligent Illuminated Entry System can feel you coming. Without using the key, you can unlock the car by simply touching the door handle. The dual-zone automatic climate control manages the heat, ventilation and air conditioning to maintain a set temperature in line with the sunlight distribution in the cabin, offering the driver and passengers absolute comfort in every seat. The Electronic Chromatic Device (ECD) system provides optimum visibility of the instrument panel automatically, reducing the glare from light entering the vehicle. BluetoothTM technology works with car owners' Bluetooth phones to enable hands-free phone calls, which increases driving safety.

The new RX270 Luxury is also equipped with a variety of forward-looking, intelligent configurations such as the LEXUS G-BOOK, Remote Touch and Lexus Hard Disk Drive (HDD) navigation system. The LEXUS G-BOOK offers drivers and passengers seven intelligent communication services via the Wireless Network Connection Data Center, including: Emergency Rescue, Anti-theft Tracking, Roadside Assistance, Vehicle Maintenance Notice, Operator Service, Information Provision and G-route Search. With a mouse-like control mechanism, the Remote Touch system offers greater efficiency and convenience, allowing users to navigate and control a series of functions, such as navigation information, the LEXUS G-BOOK, and the air-conditioning and audio systems. The HDD system comes with a maximum storage space of 40GB, helping to speed up and enhance navigation while being able to save and copy songs from CD tracks. The luxury and comfort configurations and personalized design fully represent Lexus' commitment to the "Passionate Pursuit of Perfection", delivering consumers a relaxed and pleasant trip.

Comprehensive Safety: Carefree Driving
The RX270 is equipped with active safety systems such as Vehicle Stability Control (VSC+), Traction Control (TRC), Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD) and Hill Assist Control (HAC). Building on traditional wheel drive and brake control theories, the VSC+ system assists in steering control, helping drivers better control the car's direction when the left and right wheels contact the road with different amounts of force, thus improving the vehicle's safety and stability. HAC automatically activates the brakes to prevent the automobile from rolling backwards during a hill start.

With respect to passive safety, the new RX270 uses 10 industry-leading SRS standard airbags (including front, front-side, front-knee, curtain and rear-side airbags). The two-section, twin-chamber SRS airbags minimize harm to front-seat passengers in a more ergonomic way when it deploys. The advanced airbags work well with the front-seat active head restraints and the car's body that combines an anti-crash fold area and a highly rigid driving cabin, providing drivers and passengers a carefree and safe driving experience.

The new RX270 extends the market range of the RX series to the small- and medium-sized luxury SUV segments. It targets high-income, trendy, elite customers aged between 30 and 45. Caring for their own families, they want a perfect car that helps them and their families find more happiness in life. As the first small-displacement luxury SUV Lexus introduced to the China market, the RX270 will be a good option for successful people with elegant taste and a passion for life, by virtue of its diversified driving experience and cost-effective competitiveness.
