Lexus RX Estate (2003 - 2009) boot space, practicality and safety
The RX doesn’t have a Euro NCAP crash rating but it comes well equipped with safety kit including traction and stability control, seats designed to lessen whiplash injuries, electronic brakeforce distribution and nine airbags including multi-stage driver and passenger airbags, curtain shield airbags plus a driver’s knee airbag.
Thanks to a spacious cabin, the RX is great for families but the boot is a little disappointing. There’s only 439 litres of luggage room (on both the standard and hybrid models) which is very low compared to alternatives like the BMW X5. The sloping tailgate doesn’t help and means it’s not easy to carry large or awkward items. On the plus side the boot opening is large and the load area itself is wide with no intrusions.
The rear seats don’t quite fold flat but the glove box is a decent size and there is a handy storage compartment between the front seats.
