Lexus plans to show off the updated 2016 RX crossover at the 2015 New York Auto Show.

Spy photos have already given us a glimpse of the 2016 RX, showing a new design and slightly larger proportions. The RX is set to grow in size to make space for the smaller Lexus NX and it may even adopt a third row of seating.

The use of aluminum is expected to help the RX lose some weight to improve fuel economy. A V6 is likely to continue to be offered alongside a hybrid setup. The new turbocharged four-cylinder engine introduced in the NX200t is also a possibility for the larger Lexus crossover.

The updated RX 350 should hit dealers sometime later in 2015.
