What Car? says...
Being ahead of your time can be tough – if you launch a revolutionary product before most buyers are ready for it, it's likely to be a flop. Luckily, the Lexus RX hybrid car has been well received over the years, despite having some notable shortcomings when it originally arrived.
You see, the RX's combination of an electrified engine and a luxury SUV body made it a pioneer. And while other car makers are still clamouring to produce rival models, this latest RX is the fourth generation to use hybrid technology.
