Top quality, premium materials, top range. Apart from the horsepower figure, better than the Audi A6 in every respect.

Lexus RX

The Lexus RX glides through city streets with the kind of hushed refinement that turns mundane commutes into a private lounge. It mixes plush comfort and polished practicality in a package that suits buyers who want to arrive relaxed and a touch smug.
