Lexus RX
When this model was first launched, no one suspected that it would to become the standard of the new mid-size luxury SUV category. All other manufacturers have copied this model to attempt to counter its popularity. It’s the Swiss Army knife of the category with the comfort of a sedan, the versatility of a five-door hatchback and handling similar to that of a car. It comes in regular or hybrid versions.
