It’s fair to say the Lexus RX is a well-established model with more than 25 years of sales under its belt. The latest fifth-generation car is available with a variety of powertrains, but we are concentrating on plug-in hybrid technology, which has just been introduced for the first time to the RX.
Beneath the bonnet is a 2.5-litre petrol engine that works in tandem with two electric motors and an 18.1kWh battery to deliver engaging, though not aggressive performance that definitely prioritises refinement and comfort.
