At the heart of the RX’s dynamic driving pleasure is a focus on enhancing exhilarating performance and sporty handling, especially handling stability to create a close sense of unit y with the vehicle, together with steering response and ride comfort. It was realized by making a lightweight, high rigidity body structure from hot-stamp, high-tensile steel and aluminum, with strategically positioned reinforcements, the extensive use of spot welds and body adhesives, and advanced production technologies including laser screw welding.

The electronically-controlled system continually varies distribution of drive power to the rear wheels, switching from front wheel drive to AWD to realize handling stability to suit the driving conditions, especially while cornering, together with excellent fuel economy.
