About the Lexus RX
The fifth-generation Lexus RX represents a significant shift for the brand's best-selling model, moving to the GA-K platform to improve rigidity and lower the centre of gravity. The 350h variant utilises Lexus's fourth-generation self-charging hybrid system, prioritising smooth power delivery and exceptional fuel efficiency over outright speed. The Premium Plus trim sits in the heart of the range, offering a high level of standard equipment including a 14-inch touchscreen and 21-inch alloy wheels. It remains a benchmark for cabin quality and refinement in the mid-size luxury SUV segment, though it trades driver engagement for a composed, comfortable ride.

Lexus RX fun facts
- The fifth-generation RX is up to 90kg lighter than its predecessor despite being built on a more rigid platform.
- The 'Tazuna' cockpit design is inspired by the Japanese word for using reins to control a horse, focusing on direct, intuitive control for the driver.
- The RX 350h uses an 'E-Four' all-wheel-drive system, which employs a separate electric motor on the rear axle rather than a mechanical driveshaft.
