Lexus has revealed the design of the 2022 RX 350 and RX 450H Black Line, of which just 2,500 will be produced for North America. The company plans to split that number between the two models, with 2,100 gas-powered models and just 400 of the hybrid models. Although it’s called Black Line, customers can pick one of two colors: Caviar or Eminent Pearl White to help the black accents pop.
Either way, the SUV gets black
20-inch wheels with black lug nuts. The grille is also finished in black, as
are the mirror caps and the lower front bumper. At the back, meanwhile, the
Black Line models get a black nameplate in the lower right of the rear power
door.
Inside, Lexus has chosen black
open-pore wood trim, and Black NuLuxe seats, though the stitching is done with
gray thread to help provide a little contrast. That stitching carries
throughout the interior, on the center console, the shift boot, the steering
wheel, and the upper instrument panel. Finally, black floor mats, cargo mats, and
key gloves help really sell the look.All RX Black Line Special editions build
on the Premium Package, which includes power seats, mirrors, and steering wheel
with memory.
If the package sounds somewhat
familiar to you, that’s because it’s very similar to the Black Line trim
offered for the RX 350L and the RX 450hL, the longer wheelbase versions of the
same SUV. Those models, though, were limited to just 495 examples, in total.
Prices for the vehicles start at a suggested MSRP of US$ 49,450 for the RX 350 Black
Line, and US$ 52,150 for the RX 450h AWD Black Line. Both are currently available
at showrooms around the U.S.
