Impressive performance, refinement, high equipment levels, low running costs

Ride comfort on top model, uninvolving drive

The third-generation Lexus RX is only available with a petrol-electric hybrid engine in the UK, which means it's expensive to buy. But based on the previous version, the fuel-sipping hybrid was by far the most popular choice. While the previous RX400h had class-leading low emissions, Lexus has made further improvements for this RX450h version and achieved a set of impressive figures for performance, fuel economy and CO2 output. It means lower taxation for owners and people choosing one as a company car. A harsh ride on top models with a more ‘sporty’ set-up and indifferent steering feel spoil an otherwise outstanding vehicle.
