Lexus has announced that its upcoming 2020 Lexus RX will get an updated multimedia system with Apple CarPlay support.

All 2020 Lexus RX models feature updated exterior styling that includes revised front and rear fascias and a new standard 18” wheel design. Triple-beam LED headlamps have also been redesigned as an option. Inside, an available 12.3-inch touchscreen paired with the remote touch pad supports added dynamic voice and navigation functionality. The updated Lexus Multimedia System now includes advanced in-dash technology to simplify a guest’s life, such as Apple CarPlay integration for your iPhone.

“The new 2020 Lexus RX improves our best-selling vehicle with a focus on the future of the brand – one of sophisticated, yet bold, design,” said Lisa Materazzo, vice president of Lexus marketing. “We heard very positive feedback from our U.S. guests about their experience in the RX, and we worked to improve upon the success with key areas of focus.”



All RX models for 2020 come standard with the latest smartphone vehicle integrations and their respective virtual assistants. The RX features an 8-inch touchscreen as standard and six USB ports throughout the vehicle.

For Apple CarPlay integration, guests can use their iPhone through the Lexus RX’s touchscreen display. When their iPhone is connected, commands for driving directions, phone calls, and sending and receiving messages via Siri are enabled. They can also gain access to favorite apps like Apple Music, Apple Maps, Podcasts and Audiobooks, as well as third party apps like Waze or Spotify.

Other integrations include Android Auto and Amazon Alexa. More details can be found at the link below!
