I'm Korean. Genesis is a design that planned the future electric vehicle market. The Toyota brand is still lacking in technology and awareness for electric vehicles. (In fact, Tesla is not as popular in Japan as in Korea. Technology development has been slow due to the Japanese ignoring electric vehicles and the market situation centered on light and hybrid vehicles.). I think that's affecting the design.

[@Yogi5D]

There will be no electric future. The future is hybrid and Toyota/Lexus is hybrid king

[@JO-wc8bx]

I’m a fan of both of these designs. Though I think the RX should’ve been compared to the GV70 as opposed to the GV80. Price wise and dimensionally, the GV80 is quite a bit more expensive and larger overall so they’re not exactly in the same segment.

On the RX the sharp crease at the top of the grill, I think is either to high or the angle is off to my eye. The rest of the car looks goods but I can’t get used to the body color portion of the grill where it “transitions” to the grill. Seems too cluttered to my eye on an otherwise very clean design! I’d rather it just be regular grill up to that front hood crease. I’m nitpicking, of course. I’d still take it over the Genesis though.

The touch pad or dial is not good way to interface with a UI designed for touch. Tesla’s problem is that the touch targets are not large enough, but Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are much better.

Because of that, I actually prefer the Lexus. The design is toned down from the previous gen, but Lexus designers still played a little. I think the grille is unique. I maybe wouldn’t go for the RX500 FSP, because it seems a little over-styled, but I’d definitely get a RX350 in a shade of silver with the bigger 21” wheels.
