AUTOMOTIVE 47
REVIEW > ANTONY HOLTER PHOTOGRAPHY > ANTONY HOLTER
The original Lexus RX was one of the first hybrid cars on the market and the model has seen a few revamps over the years but I would say the current RX450 is one that Lexus will find it hard to match , it is an impressive , large luxury SUV that offers a lot to a variety of people and would be a very suited choice to a wide audience .
