TOKYO —

Lexus on Monday launched its RX350 and announced that sales of the RX450h will start in April. Both RX models are the latest versions of the RX, which was previously unavailable in Japan. 

Next-generation crossovers that merge the luxurious ride and comfort of a sedan with the functionality of an SUV, they offer, at the highest levels, the environmental and safety performance demanded of 21st-century luxury vehicles. They are based on the concept of providing the superior excitement and driving comfort characteristic of a Lexus vehicle.

The new arrivals include such features as an advanced hybrid system with a V6 gasoline engine, the E-Four (electric four-wheel drive) system for outstanding driving and environmental performance, as well as a unique “dual-zone cockpit” that allows the driver to concentrate on driving. Other top-class features create a dynamism that sets the vehicles apart from other SUVs while providing a strong sense of safety and satisfaction.

The RX, powered with a V-6 3.5-liter engine, costs between 4.6 million yen and 5.65 million yen.

    This is proof that there is a huge gap between the rich and middle-class. There doesn`t seem to be much of a slow down on pricey items unlike most standard things.

    Just bought Daihatsu Mira 5 speed manual transmission metalic green. Wouldn't trade it for Lexus RX350 at no cost. Mira gives me a bit over 30km per 1 liter of gasoline (with application of some extra gas saving techniques and fuel additives). Just as Rajakumar said: pay only 6.000.000 yen lol, go for it...

    Getting uglier with each passing generation, something Toyota truly excels at these days.
