The launch marks Lexus’ first seven-seater model available to the Irish market, reaching a new audience for the luxury car brand.

Available in two grade options, Luxury and Premium (features listed below), this self-charging hybrid electric encompasse­s the elegant coupé styling of the RX, but with the RX 450hL measuring 110mm longer, which allows for two additional seats. To facilitate the additional two seats and still offer excellent head room and luggage space, the RX 450hL has an exclusivel­y designed rear quarter panel, rear glass, roof, rear bumper and spoiler, as well as having a side curtain shield airbags to better protect 3rd row passengers, and Lexus Safety Sense as standard.

The RX 450hL does not compromise on space, packing in spacious boot room featuring the longest length behind the third row in the segment. In addition, the third-row seats feature electric folding in combinatio­n with individual air conditioni­ng as standard, which is unique to the RX 450hL in its segment. Given the vehicle has been designed as a seven-seater, the RX 450hL provides consistent luxury, comfort and convenienc­e throughout.
