  • Lexus RX350 (2006 - 2009)
    Faster, more economical and better equipped than the RX300. A refined, enjoyable drive. Solid build quality.
  • 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.
