The second-gen model shares its underpinnings (TNGA-K platform) with the Toyota RAV4. Here’s how it compares to its previous generation in terms of dimensions:

The new LX will be powered by a 2.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, coupled with an electric motor, cumulatively producing 239PS.
