New or Significantly Altered Models

2010 Lexus GX

The GX is overhauled for 2010 with new styling and a new 4.6L V8 resulting in a new name, GX 460. The new model shorter and heavier, but otherwise the same size as the previous model. The new interior features a power-folding third row of seats and a middle row that can slide fore/aft by 4.1 inches. The GX retains it's side hinged door, but gains a flip-up glass section for quick access.

2010 Lexus HS

The new HS 250h is a dedicated full hybrid model which also serves as Lexus's new entry-level vehicle. The gas engine is a 2.4L four cylinder and when paired with the electric motor produces a net of 187 horsepower.

A hardtop convertible coupe joins the IS lineup for 2010. The four-passenger IS C features a three-panel retractable hard top. Like the sedan, the IS C is offered as an IS 250 C with a 204-bhp small displacement V6 or the IS 350 C with a more powerful 3.5L V6.

2010 Lexus RX

The RX is overhauled with new styling inside and out. The RX lineup remains the same with both V6 and hybrid models offered in FWD and AWD. The gas/electric hybrid model is now called the RX 450h.
