EXTERIOR

Distinctly hybrid

The RX 450h will feature a range of stylishly distinctive design elements that set the hybrid apart. The design cues include a unique front bumper and silver grille design, blue accents on the headlight and taillight lenses and a unique fog light surround design. The elegant blue highlights also appear on the Lexus emblem, vehicle badging, engine cover, key fob and a chrome feature strip that runs the length of the doors and features the chrome and blue word ‘hybrid’.

Smart Card for easy access

Smaller than a credit card and just 3.35mm thick, the Smart Card provides fast and convenient access to the RX 450h through the all new touch activation pad design. With only the slightest touch on either the top or bottom of the door handles you can lock and unlock the doors of the car. In the rare event of a system failure, the Smart Card comes with a conventional metal key concealed within the card.

Second generation L-Finesse design

The all-new RX line is the first Lexus SUV to be completely designed using the Lexus L-Finesse design philosophy and the first to showcase the second generation of L-Finesse design. L-Finesse design principles combine leading edge design with elegance, and the second generation of L-Finesse stays true to these ideals while incorporating a sharper design appearance. The impressive result is a covetable SUV that turns heads wherever it goes.

Elegant wheel designs

The RX 450h Sports and Sports Luxury vehicles features unique fifteen spoke 19-inch wheels while the Prestige model features five spoke 18-inch wheels. Both versions build on the leading-edge Lexus design and enhance the arresting appearance of the RX 450h.

A striking colour palette

The second generation L-Finesse design on the RX 450h is complemented with a choice of eight colours including one exclusive colour, Quartz, and three new colours – Blue Pearl, Sapphire, and Metallic Silver. Other colours include Graphite, Onyx (black), Metallic Beige and Vermilion (Red). View the colour range here*.

LED headlamp technology

Offering excellent illumination and improved light distribution, the RX 450h Sports Luxury uses low-beam light-emitting diode (LED) headlamp technology. In addition to providing optimum vision at night, LED headlamp technology offers reduced power usage and increased bulb life, with the lamps designed to last the lifetime of the vehicle.

Class leading aerodynamics

Designed to reduce drag and minimise noise intrusion into the cabin, the RX 450h offers a smooth and refined ride under all driving conditions.

Large mirrors with turn indicators

The exterior mirrors provide an expansive view of the area behind you. Indicators have also been incorporated in the exterior mirrors to help other motorists to see you.

INTERIOR

The simplicity of the Lexus Remote Touch

To make driving even easier, Lexus has placed key vehicle functions at your fingertips via a Lexus Remote Touch controller on the console. With the simplicity of a computer mouse, you can access up to 20 functions with fingertip precision. So, for example, you can plot your route with the Satellite Navigation with just a few clicks of the controller. It's yet another example of advanced Lexus technology for enhanced driving pleasure, allowing seamless interaction between you and the vehicle, while allowing you to concentrate on your driving.

Enhanced climate control

Determined to offer a vehicle that allows you to create the perfect cabin temperature even faster than previous systems, Lexus engineers implemented several improvements including a newly developed air conditioning unit. The RX 450h’s climate control system features a unique electric compressor that operates seamlessly with maximum efficiency. It also uses a humidity control sensor to automatically reduce or increase the air temperature as required in the cabin. Whatever the conditions are outside, you can be sure the temperature will be just right inside the Lexus RX 450h.

A new standard in crystal clear audio

The RX 450h Prestige and Sports models feature a 12-speaker Lexus premium sound system. The Sports Luxury gives you the added dimension of a 7.1 channel surround sound system with 15 speakers by renowned audiophile designer Mark Levinson. Speakers have been placed in symmetry across the cabin, including higher mounted front and newly added rear door tweeters to direct sound towards passengers, resulting in a crisp, clear listening experience. Both systems feature an in-dash six-stack CD player capable of MP3, WMA and CD-R/RW playback and, a new feature in the RX, an AUX jack that enables you to connect portable music players like iPod®s.

Remain focused with Head-Up Display

To help you keep your eyes on the road ahead, a Head-Up Display (HUD) in the Sports Luxury model positions key information on the windscreen just above the dash panel. This means you can view your speed, simplified navigation arrows, audio settings or the Pre-Collision Safety System brake warning, in a clear display, all without having to take your eyes off the road.

Illuminated entry welcomes you aboard

As you approach the vehicle after dark, a puddle light beneath each exterior mirror illuminates your path. Then as you step inside, a neatly choreographed lighting sequence guides your way and provides a warm welcome.

Satellite Navigation* as standard

In all RX models, an advanced DVD based Satellite Navigation system is standard. It guides you to your destination with visual maps or spoken commands, so getting lost isn't an option*.

In-built Bluetooth™

Simply register your Bluetooth**-compatible mobile phone, then enjoy the simplicity of hands-free communications on the move.

Multi Information Display keeps you informed

In the centre of the instrument panel is a Multi Information Display which informs you of a number of key vehicle functions with simplicity and clarity. So you can view what gear you're in, fuel consumption and other key data, in a concise, easy to read format.

*Current mapping database encompasses major capital and primary national road networks as well as offering some coverage in regional areas. Available on all RX models. **The Bluetooth word mark is owned by Bluetooth SIG, Inc. Bluetooth™ will only operate with telephones enabled with compatible Bluetooth™ wireless technology (HFP (Hands Free Profile) v1.0 and OPP (Object Push Profile) v1.1 international standards)
