The RX is an important car for the Lexus brand to get right. It shouldn't be its best selling global model, but at the launch of this MK5 version it was, so re-imagining the whole concept behind this long-running model line wasn't without risk. But the market for full-size luxury SUVs is evolving and Lexus felt this fifth generation RX should evolve with it. So it is that there is now a Plug-in Hybrid version - and a ground-breaking Turbo Hybrid too. There's also an all-new GA-K platform, a very different interior and media connectivity on another level from before. Lexus promises that you can even now enjoy driving this car with a bit of vigour. Whatever next?
This is a different kind of Lexus RX. Just different enough to give the brand a chance of conquest sales in the segment. But not so different that it will alienate this model line's loyal bank of buyers. Many of them perhaps don't need this fifth generation version's more dynamic mindset. We welcome it though. It would have been easy for Lexus to continue on its lazy comfort path with this MK5 RX. Instead, something more interesting has been delivered here. Whether it's interesting enough to tempt Teutonic brand customers, it'll be fascinating to see. They should certainly give this Japanese contender a chance. It feels special inside, the Hybrid engines are supremely efficient and media connectivity is at last up to the highest class standards. Whether you choose an RX over similarly priced full-electric Lexus RZ - or a more affordable and slightly smaller Lexus NX - is another question. But if you're sold by the cool plush brand vibe, making up your mind between the three should be one of life's more pleasant choices.
