The model

Read full review

The Lexus RX scores well for reliability and is quiet and comfy when you drive it gently. It isn't that spacious by class standards, though, and despite its hybrid engine, the fuel economy and CO2 emissions fail to impress.

The trim

See full equipment

As the name suggests, the F Sport aims to bring a touch of excitement to the RX. To make it more agile around corners, you get specific tuning for the steering system and suspension, as well as exterior styling with more aggressive-looking bumpers and bespoke 20-inch alloy wheels. It's too pricey to recommend, though.

The engine

See full engine specs

A 3.5-litre petrol V6 paired with two electric motors to give you a combined power output of 308bhp and four-wheel drive. It’s a refined engine with a pleasing sound but isn't particularly frugal.
