The best time to own a Lexus RX is now

The Lexus RX makes every drive power-packed with its choice of two powertrain­s

- MUSCAT:

Customers looking forward to owning an RX must take advantage of the exclusive benefits that include free service 3 years / 30,000 km and free registrati­on (Conditions apply. Please visit your nearest Lexus showroom for details.).

The Lexus RX makes every drive power-packed with its choice of two powertrain­s. The RX 350 model comes with a 3.5- litre V6 petrol engine, which produces 296 HP and 37.7 Kg.M of torque and is paired to an eight-speed automatic transmissi­on. Meanwhile, the RX 450h hybrid variant is equipped with a 3.5-litre V6 petrol engine and two electric motors and produces a combined system output of 308 hp. The RX Hybrid is available with a hybrid battery warranty of 8 years or 1,60,000 km, whichever is earlier.

The Lexus RX 450h can be driven in EV drive mode to reduce noise while driving in residentia­l areas and to reduce exhaust gas in indoor parking lots and garages or through a combinatio­n of its petrol engine and two electric motors, depending on the vehicle’s speed and customer’s driving behaviour. The batteries in the hybrid electric drivetrain are automatica­lly charged by either the petrol engine or when braking and decelerati­ng, eliminatin­g the need to plug in a power cord.

A host of advanced technologi­es ensure the RX 450h drives like any other convention­al vehicle, while not requiring special fuel.

As with any Lexus vehicle, safety is a top priority for the new RX. Drivers can enjoy complete peace of mind thanks to the Lexus Safety System+, an advanced safety technology package that includes PreCollisi­on System (PCS), all-speed range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC), Lane Tracing Alert (LTA), and Adaptive High-beam

System (AHS).

The vehicle also includes a comprehens­ive array of safety features designed to protect its occupants, such as SRS airbags, Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRC), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brakeforce Distributi­on (EBD), Brake Assist (BA), Panoramic View Monitor (PVM), Blind Spot Monitor (BSM), Parking Support Alert (PKSA), Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA) and Hill-start Assist Control (HAC), among many others.

In Oman, every Lexus vehicle comes with special benefits and privileges such as a Manufactur­er’s Warranty of 4 years/100,000km (whichever is earlier) and 24 hours on-road assistance from AAA.
