Improved Lexus RX line-up arrived in KL


Lexus Malaysia’s popular luxury RX crossover has been updated and now features a host of improvements including a new “spindle” grille that was first seen on the current generation Lexus GS sedan.

Offered in four variants of RX 270, RX 350, RX 350 F Sport and RX 450h hybrid, the vehicle also gets headlights with LED Daytime Running Lights and redesigned rear light clusters for a stylish and distinctive appearance.

Inside, the RX is roomy and comfortable for five persons, and gets plush leather and features a new steering wheel with high quality wood and leather trimmings, a high resolution 8.0-inch Electro Multi Vision dashboard screen and a Remote Touch Controller which allows the driver to operate various systems of the vehicle without having to reach forward to press switches or buttons.

The entry-level RX 270 which is powered by a 2.7-litre 4-cylinder engine that produces 185bhp and 252Nm of torque, should satisfy the driving needs of most drivers.
 
 


If extra punch is what you want, there are the RX350 and RX350 F Sport variants which have a bigger 3.5-litre V6 engine that provides an impressive 274bhp and 346Nm of torque.

The RX 350 F Sport variant also features several enhancements over the non-F Sport versions such as an aggressive mesh grille, dark grey 19-inch wheels, performance dampers, F Sport suspension which gives firmer body control and better high-speed stability, and aluminium panels for the interior.

But if you want a more fuel efficient variant that does not compromise on performance, the RX 450h hybrid variant has a high compression Atkinson Cycle 3.5-litre V6 engine that works with two electric motors for a combined output of 295bhp.

Prices for the RX 270, RX 350, RX 350 F Sport and RX 450h are RM359,800, RM399,800, RM409,800 and RM525,000 respectively.

UMW Toyota Motor president Ismet Suki said Lexus Malaysia has sold close to 1,100 units of the RX, representing 32% of total Lexus sales in Malaysia, since the model was introduced locally in March 2009.

“This encouraging figure has made the RX the most popular Lexus model and the best selling sports utility vehicle in the Large Luxury SUV segment in Malaysia with a 35% market share,” Ismet said.
