Driving fit

Where the Lexus RX Fits Best

A practical view of the buyer and roads this model is best suited to.

Who buys this

A shopper researching RX RX 350h should separate need from showroom appeal. If a South African price reference of R1,568,400 solves a problem every week, it deserves real consideration

City
Around town, RX RX 350h should be judged by repetition rather than a single burst of acceleration. The relevance of a AWD drivetrain becomes obvious on a busy weekday, while a AWD drivetrain is worth checking before a purchase built around tight parking or frequent loading
Highway
On a South African freeway or inter-city road, take the RX RX 350h out with the load it normally carries. Engine of 2.5-litre Naturally Aspirated Petrol Hybrid gives context, but a number cannot show how a power output of 184 kW @ 6000 rpm feels on a gradient
Off-Road
Practical fit is equally important: boot space 612 litres; ground clearance 183 mm; braked towing 2000 kg. If the RX RX 350h will leave smooth tar, test the actual road rather than the image around it

The combination of an active listing, a South African price reference of R1,568,400 and engine of 2.5-litre Naturally Aspirated Petrol Hybrid can be valuable for the right driver for RX RX 350h. The same package may feel expensive or inconvenient if the vehicle spends its life in a different role for RX RX 350h.
