Lexus is redefining its RX crossover with a new performance variant, the RX RR "Morizo," according to The Drive. The badge signals a shift from the model's usual composed, comfort-first character toward something quicker and more athletic, closer in spirit to a compact performance hatchback than to the brand's typical family hauler. For collectors who have watched Lexus build its reputation on refinement rather than urgency, it marks a notable turn for the marque's volume seller.

With reporting from The Drive.
