Super TestCar reviews - Lexus - RX - rangeLexus modelsOverviewThe Lexus RX is one of the most unique SUVS out there, and it’s a return to form24 Nov 2015 By TIM ROBSON IMAGINE your boss asked to inspect a massive project that you’d all but completed and told you to tear most of it up and start again. Oh, and you had one month to complete what could take six months or longer. This is exactly what happened to the team behind the Lexus RX. When Toyota Corporation head Akio Toyoda first laid eyes on the full-size renders of the new RX, he wasn’t happy between the initial drawings and the full-size model, something had gone missing, and Mr Toyoda wanted it back. The result is one of the edgiest, least conservative SUVs on the road today.

To be honest, Lexus needed a magic bullet for its once-dominant RX, and not just in the sheet metal department.
