The brand-new 5th-gen Lexus RX 500h has touched down in SA and we put Ciro De Siena behind the wheel. Is this one of the biggest luxury SUV surprises of 2023?
With the LS400 over 30 years ago, Lexus immediately began a legacy of building exceptionally high-quality vehicles. Sure, there were some hiccups along the way but the RX, now in its 5th generation, sees Lexus do what they do best.
This all-new Leux RX is without doubt one of the best SUVs in its segment, and its a pity that South Africans often overlook it as it just doesn’t sell in big numbers at all. But of course, motorists are spoiled for choice in this segment.
In this video, Ciro De Siena makes a strong case for moving this car up your shopping list if you’re currently considering a new premium SUV.
