Lexus RX (2012-2021)

Among the many Hybrid in the premium SUV segment, the Japanese are highly impressive. Like the Lexus RX Hybrid which has a refined power and efficiency, powered by its proven 2.5L hybrid with 246 hp of power and solid 326 Nm of torque, mated with CVT transmission and all-wheel drive. All of this ensures smooth acceleration and great handling. With high mileage promise, and good speed, the RX is a good choice for premium Byers. The deal is the ability to take the car for both city and highway driving on Saudi Arabian roads.

In Saudi Arabia many top brands offer highly advanced SUVs, one of them is Lexus with a range of SUV in hybrid. The RX is one top option for anyone looking for advanced hybrid powertrain options, which comes with performance and efficiency. Firstly the The 2.5L turbocharged hybrid has 247 HP power and with an electric motor and CVT for smooth operation. Then also you can take the 2.4L turbocharged hybrid variant that generates high 366 HP with a 6-speed automatic transmission, known for great driving. These both offer not just electronically controlled full-time AWD and Adaptive Variable Suspension but superb handling and satiability. Not to mention great cabin, features, comfort and safety.

The Lexus RX offers three engine options: a 2.4L turbocharged gas engine producing 275 hp and 317 lb-ft of torque, a 2.5L hybrid engine generating 246 hp and 233 lb-ft of torque, and a 2.4L hybrid performance engine delivering up to 367 hp. The RX can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in approximately 7.9 seconds (just awesome), with a top speed of around 200 km/h. Hybrid models feature an E-CVT, while gas models use an 8-speed automatic transmission.

I love this SUV which is ultimate luxury and comfort with great driving dynamics backed with superb power. The Lexus RX is a true luxury SUV with the characteristics of a capable and powerful SUV, built as rugged and strong. I mostly take it for my long intercity drivers, and it is incredibly smooth to drive. I also love the fact that it is a very safe SUV as well equipped with some of the most sought after features, especially the Lexus Safety System plus with in built safety features that are highly useful in instilling confidence driving.

The RX is truly an upmarket SUV, packed with incredible features, technologies, and also a great cabin. I would say the RX’s real strength is the hybrid powertrain, something special with Lexus or Toyota, that none can make. What powers the RX is the 2.4L, Turbocharged Engine with an excellent 366hp of power, and then the electric motor comes into play with hybrid battery mated with 6-speed AT. However, frankly I don’t like the exterior design of the Lexus, but otherwise this is such a fantastic SUV.
