THE 2027 LEXUS RX RR WILL HAVE GAME-CHANGING PERFORMANCE

EV Channels Review

This video discusses the highly anticipated 2027 Lexus RX 'Morizo RR', a performance-oriented variant poised to redefine the model's capabilities. The reviewer highlights Lexus's past struggles with offering performance in its F-Sport trims, noting the current RX 500H, while improved, still falls short of German competitors. The upcoming Morizo RR, however, is expected to be a game-changer, targeting an impressive 600 horsepower from a 2.0L turbo hybrid powertrain. Key features discussed include a potential plug-in hybrid system, AWD with a focus on rear-axle electric power, and a specially tuned suspension. The reviewer expresses excitement for Lexus's shift towards high-performance hybrids, potentially phasing out the 'F' branding for 'Morizo RR' and other designations. The video also touches on Lexus's evolving electrification strategy, suggesting a continued focus on advanced hybrids and plug-in hybrids rather than a full transition to battery-electric for global models. The reviewer is about 75% convinced of the Morizo RR's existence and anticipates an official reveal in late 2026.
