There are a few models, and this is the top model in the range. It comes with everything you would expect Lexus to put in it for luxury, comfort and safety.

Its stylish, in a conservative way, and very luxurious inside. The RX seems to cocoon the occupants, making them feel relaxed instantly.

I do like the interior dash and central screen layout, and the nice thick F Sport leather steering wheel. Another chich feature is the door handles with simple one touch functionality.

The RX 500h comes with a 2.4 litre turbocharged petrol hybrid engine. This allows for plenty of performance, without being an outright sports SUV. It also comes with either front wheel drive or all-wheel drive.  I would choose the All-Wheel Drive version every time.

It does feel a little big to drive and over bonnet visibility is restricted, but overall, it’s a delight to be in. It smooth, quiet and comfortable. Everything you would expect.

Lexus hybrid engines are excellent, and we averaged around 7.0 litres per 100 kilometres for the week.

The Lexus RX 500h F Sport Performance is priced around $125,000 dollars plus the usual costs. That is about $40,000 dollars over the entry model, but you do get a lot for your money.
