  • Lexus RX400h (2005 - 2009)
    Very successful hybrid application. Performance of a V8 SUV with better than diesel SUV economy. Handles well too. Most ECO friendly big SUV.
  • Lexus RX300 (2003 - 2006)
    Generously equipped, luxurious interior. Nicer to drive than a Range Rover. Extremely well screwed together.
