This RX is filled with an abundance of unique extras to inspire and invigorate every occupant…Ambient LED Illumination adds a really cool intrigue to the interior. This ambient LED lighting brightens and dims in a coordinated series to welcome the driver into the RX. Soft lighting also illuminates the area surrounding the vehicle the moment you approach, for added visibility and peace of mind.
Heated and Ventilated seating takes luxury even further. The heated and ventilated front seats offer heaters and fans in the seat cushions to provide optimum comfort, regardless of the weather. Power-folding, heated rear outboard seats are also available.
The interior offers handcrafted trim that’s created with a meticulous process by expert takumi craftsmen. Laser technology then engraves the wood surface to reveal the metallic lines underneath. Every drive, no matter how casual, is a memorable one, thanks to a perforated semi-aniline leather–trimmed interior and convenient power-folding and -reclining second-row seats. In addition, power-folding seats are standard in the third row seating area.
