Enjoy distinctive luxury with Lexus RX

Muscat: The Lexus RX stands out in its class with its attractive design, inspiring technology and fuel-efficient performance. The, fifth-generation RX has been completely reimagined to deliver greater style, comfort and performance with a choice of three powertrains, two of which are
electrified.

The RX sports an attractive design with triple LED headlights which are sleeker, sharper and more horizontal and the body and spindle grilles merge at their boundaries to create a seamless expression symbolised by the sense of a solid mass, striving toward a new identity and originality. 

Complementing the RX’s distinctive design is a thrilling drive personality imbued by three powertrain options. A newly developed inline 4-cylinder, 2.4-litre turbocharged engine that produces 275 hp and 430 nm of torque is paired to a new 8-speed Direct-Shift automatic transmission (8AT).

Meanwhile, the new hybrid-electric system combines a 2.5-litre petrol engine and electric motor to produce a total of 247 hp, which is paired to an electronically-controlled continuously variable transmission (E-CVT) to provide a fuel consumption value of 20.7 km/L. A hybrid-electric system pairing a 2.4-litre turbocharged engine with an electric motor is also available, which provides a combined power of 366 hp mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission.

The interior of the RX offers ample luggage space and five newly designed luxury seats with excellent legroom, including an 8-way adjustable powered driver seat. Drivers can also create an oasis with nature-inspired Thematic Ambient Illumination, an optional feature that bathes the RX interior in a choice of 14 themes.

Additional features include SmartAccess with a push-button start, a 21-speaker Mark Levinson Clari-Fi 2.0 sound system, and a panoramic roof with movable outer sliding glass for the front section.

The vehicle’s inviting interior provides drivers and passengers with a host of advanced features for a refined cabin experience. These include a new 14-inch touchscreen multimedia system with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, a 7-inch colour multi-information display (MID), a colour head-up display (HUD), a wireless charging system for smartphones, six USB chargers, and one 12 Volt charger. In addition, the 2023 RX offers the Lexus Climate Concierge system with Triple Zone Independent Temperature Controls.

In the Lexus RX, safety is a top priority for the all-new RX.

Drivers can enjoy complete peace of mind, thanks to the Lexus Safety System+, an advanced safety and driver assistance system that includes a Pre-Collision System (PCS) together with new features such as Emergency Steering Assist, Acceleration Suppression at Low Speed and Intersection Collision Avoidance Assistance.

The system also includes all-speed range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) with two new features; Turn Signal Control (TSC), Curve Speed Reduction (RSR), Lane Tracing Alert (LTA), Lane Departure Alert (LDA), and Adaptive High-beam System (AHS). In another world-first, the new Safe Exit Assist (SEA) feature uses an e-latch system combined with a Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) to help prevent accidents among many others.

For those seeking to experience the ultimate in thrilling responsiveness, Lexus has introduced the first-ever turbo hybrid electric vehicle. The RX 500h F SPORT Performance’s new hybrid electric system comes with a front unit that integrates a high-torque 2.4-liter turbo engine, six-speed automatic transmission, and an electric motor.

The RX 500h F SPORT Performance also features the new DIRECT4 all-wheel drive force system, which effectively maximises front and rear wheel grip to deliver an invigorating and torque-filled driving experience.

In Oman, every Lexus vehicle comes with special benefits and privileges such as Manufacturer’s Warranty of 4 years/100,000 Kms (whichever is earlier) and 24 hours on-road assistance from AAA.
