据最新报道,雷克萨斯正在开发一款七座跨界车。虽然目前细节有限，但据《汽车新闻》报道，车厂正在开发一款全新跨界车，或者为下一代RX增加第三排座椅，而后者将于明年晚些时候发布。目前还不清楚车厂到底倾向于那种方案，而雷克萨斯美国公司副总裁兼总经理Jeff Bracken说：“（由于缺乏七座车型）我感觉我们每年都会丧失掉3.5万辆车的销量，我们正在努力纠正这一缺失。”他继续表示，“我们会在2016或32017年将该车投放市场。”虽然雷克萨斯官方并未做任何表态，但据猜测该车可能会被命名为TX，它将基于取自丰田凯美瑞的前驱平台或来自雷克萨斯IS/GS的后驱平台。

 

Lexus is developing a seven-seat crossover

According to a recent report, Lexus is working on a seven-seat crossover.

 

Details are limited but Automotive News is reporting the company could develop an all-new crossover or add a third row of seating to the next-generation RX which is slated to arrive in late 2015.

 

It remains unclear which direction the company is leaning but Lexus USA's Group Vice President and General Manager said "We feel like we're missing a 35,000-units-a-year opportunity. We're working hard to rectify that." Jeff Bracken went on to say "We could bring it to market in 2016 or 2017."

 

While nothing is official, speculation suggests the model could be called the TX and it be based on either the front-wheel-drive platform from the Toyota Camry or the rear-wheel drive platform from the Lexus IS / GS.
