The Lexus RX has been one of the UAE’s most-loved offerings from the Japanese brand and it’s not hard to see why. The crossover provides the perfect blend of luxury and practicality. What’s more, the RX has been setting some records on its way to success as well - the 1998 Lexus RX 300 was the world’s first luxury crossover, while the 2006 Lexus RX 400h was the world’s first hybrid electric luxury crossover. 

For the 2023 model, Lexus has spent a great amount of time in perfecting the RX with the crossover built on the brand’s Global Architecture K (GA-K) platform to provide body rigidity and a low center of gravity. Thanks to the new platform, the latest RX is 90 Kg lighter than its predecessor while having a 15 mm lower center of gravity. The car has a longer wheelbase and sits on 21” wheels. Ride comfort comes courtesy of new MacPherson strut suspension at the front and a new multi-link suspension system at the rear.

Three powertrain are available: a newly developed inline 4-cylinder, 2.4-liter turbocharged engine, a hybrid setup which combines a 2.5-liter petrol engine and an electric motor and - the most powerful of the lot - A hybrid-electric system pairing a 2.4-liter turbocharged engine with an electric motor producing 366 hp. Options of an 8-speed Direct-Shift automatic transmission (8AT), electronically-controlled continuously variable transmission (E-CVT) and a 6-speed automatic transmission are on offer, respectively.

Lexus has based the all-new RX’s interior on the LF-30 electrified concept car’s cabin. The concept used specifically for the interior is called the Tazuna concept, Lexus says that the interior “focuses on delivering direct, intuitive control of the vehicle by following the principle of ‘hands on the wheel, eyes on the road.’”

Some of the major features of the cabin are a new 14-inch touchscreen multimedia system with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, a 7-inch color multi-information display (MID) and a color head-up display (HUD). A wireless charging system for smartphones, six USB chargers, and one 12 Volt charger make sure the buyers get all the 21st Century like charging options.

In terms of safety, the RX once again marks a world-first for Lexus with the luxury crossover’s new Safe Exit Assist (SEA) feature utilizing an e-latch system combined with a Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) to help prevent accidents. Other safety features include seven SRS airbags, Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRC), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), Parking Assist Monitor (PAM), Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA), Active Cornering Assist (ACA), Drive-Start Control (DSC), Panoramic View Monitor (PVM), and Hill-start Assist Control (HAC), to name a few. 

Jacques Brent, Managing Director of Al-Futtaim Lexus, said: “In the 24 years since the first-generation RX was born as a luxury crossover, it has become a huge success story for our customers in the United Arab Emirates.”

“Now in its fifth generation, the platforms and technologies of the RX have been revolutionized to bring the ‘Lexus Driving Signature’ to even more customers as a core model. The car's fundamentals have been thoroughly enhanced across all models, while the RX500h F SPORT PERFORMANCE pushes the frontier even further with an electrified all-wheel drive system. Created without compromise, the all-new Lexus RX will become a companion that enriches your life, and we are extremely excited to share it with our customers in the Emirates,” he concluded.
