Lexus' Unified Spindle is the latest take on its controversial grille design
press materials. Instead, Lexus calls the grille of the TX a Unified Spindle design. That's a new one, and while it's unmistakably a Lexus, there is indeed a difference between the grille designs of the latest two Lexus utility vehicles. The automaker claims the shape"incorporates early Lexus design language" and was"designed to enhance aerodynamic handling and provides both a sense of mass and cooling performance.
We'd love to know more about what Lexus means when it says"enhanced aerodynamic handling," but we do note the thin opening just beneath the hood that connects the sloping frontal protrusions of the headlights. Below that, a series of horizontal slats get wider as they descend lower, creating the distinctive Lexus Spindle Grille shape.
"The Spindle Grille originally was there to improve radiator cooling efficiency," he said via a translator."Now that we're going into electrification, we've started transitioning into taking the whole body of the vehicle to express this sort of Spindle shape. The next progression from that is the added element of aerodynamics as well as airflow and noise. And so we compressed the traditional Spindle Grille as we had been using it.
