Lexus will add a pair of additional trim levels for the RX SUV and the IS F Sport next year, with a new base-model variant for the SUV, according to Auto Express.

The F-Sport model which testing gets a smattering of sportier design touches, including headlights with a new 'bladescan' adaptive LED system that uses spinning mirrors to direct the pattern of full-beam light away from road users, Lexus's website reported.

Also, there’s not a huge departure visually, but the touchpad-controlled infotainment system is also now operable via a touchscreen. There’s Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for the first time, too, while the suite of safety systems swells a bit. A selection of chassis tweaks also feature.

Meanwhile,  IS F Sport's new model is expected to arrive during the Spring or Summer of 2020, possibly as an early 2021-year model. It’s also expected to revive the performance version of the compact sedan which we’ve had the opportunity to buy between 2007 and 2013.

According to Auto wise, the new models are also expected to tackle a number of current unit’s issues such as the outdated infotainment center, a lack of standard high-tech gear, and the shortage of space in the back seats and trunk.

Noteworthy, 2020 Lexus RX 350 is more competitive than ever, with drastic quality-of-life improvements that make it a more appealing buy than last year's model. Previously an also-ran in the midsize luxury crossover segment.
