That colour + those rims + that taillight + spec sheet = wow!

Guess it’s time to check with Lexus Chandigarh about TD availability

[Shreyans_Jain]

Who is buying these cars? Don’t recall seeing one ever. Heck, I didn’t know something called a RX existed in India! I get the ES300, makes a good case for itself as a premium luxury car that is also a reliable workhorse. But the rest of the range makes absolutely no sense to me. I mean, why should I buy an RX500 over an X5 or a GLE or a Defender?

I have seen quite a few high end Lexus cars in Kerala. These generally appeal to buyers who have no qualms about the significant purchase price but gets frustrated by expensive service costs. There is perceived advantage on reliability as well.

I own a Lexus ES300h and RX500h F-Sport is a serious contender to the likes of BMW X5 (381 bhp). RX500h (366 bhp) has a great surge of torque given its dual electric motor (AWD). Given the yearly insurance (59,000rs) and maintenance (19,000rs) - (which is very cheap) compared to the german rivals and also superior reliability - I would go for a Lexus RX (if the GX doesn't end up in our shores).

Also its not that easy to get a RX or any Lexus for that matter as there is a waiting period for these vehicles. I had one for mine too. Cars for India are built in Lexus Tahara plant and sent to India via SKD route.

Saw the RX500h turbo hybrid at the Manorama auto expo held in CIAL convention center in Kochi.



It looked mean in all black. From what I gather, this is the model that gets rear wheel steering. Sadly, the car was locked and the lexus guys were all huddled up in a corner chit chatting so couldn't see the interior or ask about any specifics.
