Lexus RX
The Lexus RX crossover vehicle remains this category's reference as much for its silhouette than its general specifications. In fact, this was the first such vehicle to be marketed. Its interior is luxurious and practical in design, while it handles almost like an automobile. And let's not forget its capabilities on snowy or iced roads despite its rather intrusive antilock system. And it is offered in a new and more refines version in 2009.
