Lexus RX (09 on) - Review Review by Simon Harris on 27 May 2009 Last Updated: 02 September 2009 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. 4 out of 5 Other Lexus reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Gallery Also Consider 4.5 out of 5 BMW X5 (07 on) Upmarket image, robust build quality, comfortable and hushed on the move, seven seat option Limited off road, cramped third row of seats, firm ride Read full review 4 out of 5 Mercedes-Benz M-Class (05-11) Stylish looks, outstanding diesel engines, superb interior quality, commanding driving position No seven seat option Read full review 4.5 out of 5 Land Rover Range Rover Sport (05 on) Chunky styling, wonderfully comfortable, great diesel engines, handles well for a 4x4, capable off-road, much-improved interiors from Summer 2009 High running costs, automatic gearbox can be a little sluggish to change down Read full review Find other 4x4 cars Car Valuations Find used car prices with Parkers accurate car valuations.
