These aren’t solid axle so that isn’t necessarily the case.
I am confused as to the point you are making. Since the 100 series except some variant of the 100, rear has been solid (what is being raised here as the limit) and front independent. Am I missing something?
 
Yes the differential is part of the chassis and raises with the suspension. Only part not lifted in some manner would be the lower knuckle/joint.

The last solid front axle was the 105, have some time in one of those too 👍🏼
 
@OGBeno I know we're not supposed to post up stuff from TIS anymore; but can you let us know when the service manual and New Car Features are posted?
 
That said, I do see some of the 'free' publications are posted:

This is nice to see, a lot of insulated glass on the LX:

Also seems the LX7 may be available with a sub tank; hope this comes to the US. I'm not going hold my breath though. Green rectangles:

At a minimum, at least there may be space for an aftermarket tank without having to remove the spare tire.
 
Here's another reason I'm moving on from the GX. I want side impact protection for my rear passengers. The GX does not have 2nd row seat airbags.

Yes, believe that is the variant of the 100 sold overseas with solid axles front and rear.

The rear axle though on the 200 and 300 series LC and LX variants (and many other models like the Sequia and 250 Prada) is solid as well with the differential as part of the axle. So clearance rear with the differential only increases with bigger diameter wheels.

Yes but this is the 300/600/700 Forum and these are IRS. So what I said is true and how it works on these.

No, the 300 series is not IRS.

It has a solid rear axle.
 
Here's a clear look at the 2-row cargo area:

In reading the manual, it appears the 2400W inverter can be used as an emergency power supply. Reference pg 536.

The gasoline engine starts automatically when the remaining charge of the hybrid battery (traction battery) decreases.
 
Decent renderings from the builder:
