OREANDA-NEWS. The RX offers an outstanding level of comfort and responsiveness, and executes the driver's commands with quiet confidence. The construction of the front platform has been revised in order to allow the RX to respond directly to driver input, while the engine mount has been attached to the chassis closer to the center of gravity of the engine. This controls the movements of the engine, and results in outstandingly responsive steering.

Openings such as the rear door utilize laser-screw welding and structural adhesives. This increases the stiffness of the chassis, thereby reducing minor vibrations and enhancing the responsiveness of the vehicle.

The structure of the front suspension has also been changed, while the diameters of the front stabilizers have been increased; these improvements lead to greater stiffness, mitigating chassis roll. At the same time, efforts have been made to reduce occupant fatigue caused by long drives, including modifications to the stiffness of the front and rear suspension springs and adjustments to the balance between the front and rear of the vehicle.

The RX F Sport, which aims to take the model's driving enjoyment to a whole new level, is equipped with NAVI?AI-AVS (Adaptive Variable Suspension system) as standard, and features specialized tuning to augment its sporty driving. In addition, the RX 450h F Sport comes with an electric active stabilizer system as standard; this provides stable turning and cornering by limiting chassis roll.
