Lexus RX
The Lexus RX stands at the top of the midsize luxury SUV segment in terms of sales. It offers an extensive powertrain lineup including gasoline, hybrid and plug-in hybrid options, the latter with nearly 60 km of pure EV range. The 2025 model adds a pair of new trim levels for even more selection. The RX also boasts unrivalled build quality, reliability and resale value. On the flip side, it doesn’t prove as fun to drive as its German rivals and is highly coveted by car thieves.
