What Does "rx" Stand For Anyway?

[LexKid630]

Does the "RX" in Rx300, Rx330 and Rx400h stand for anything? I know the number stands for the size of the engine x 100, but i'm not so sure about the "RX." Just wondering :D

Recreational 4x4 actually.

While we're on the subject, what do the other's mean?

IS

ES

GS

LS

GX

LX

I notice that all the SEDANS have S as the second letter. Could this stand for sedan??

I also notice that all the possible 4x4 SUV's have X as the second letter. could this be for 4X4 ??

I just don't know about the first letters

If you run a search for it its been posted before.

LS- Luxury Sedan

ES- Executive Sedan

GS-Grand Sedan

IS-International Sedan

SC- Sport Coupe

RX- Recreational 4x4

GX- Not sure

LX- Luxury 4x4

I'm sorry to say that Recreational 4X4 can not be correct, as an RX is available in 2 wheel drive.

I don't know, maybe they don't stand for anything.

But I feel Recreational Crossover is more correct.

Everyone has their own ideas what these 'trims' means.

And they're all different.

The "X" in all the Lexus SUV's stands for Crossover. The "RX" stands for "Recreational Crossover", the "GX" stands for "Grand Crossover" and the "LX" stands for "Luxury Crossover".
