  • While Lexus didn’t create the luxury SUV, their RX certainly led in making posh, car-based crossovers so popular; a move that so many other luxury brands have now followed. They also brought electric assistance to the segment well before anyone else. But, it has taken them until now to get fully plugged in to what a hybrid is capable of.

    No thanks. I’ll keep driving my ‘99 Camry (or Cam-ray as John called it back in the mid-‘90s lol!) 3.0 until it falls apart. Then I’ll fix it and drive it some more. You must be crazy with these prices.

    This isn’t affordable - at least in Canada. It’s $99,000 and $1800/month to lease. And for that, you have to plug it in everyday and put up with a noisy 4 cylinder engine. I honesty don’t know who would buy this.

    well, its almost the same look as the original RX, but it's a plug in. but someone just needs to invent a PHEV version of the GX550 with a 6 or 8 speed automatic, and ditch the CVTs or eCVTs. because these CVTs are getting old. but good look for the PHEV RX

      Either way, they are simple, efficient, bulletproof and it is the mechanism that allows the ICE and electric motors to work in harmony..
