Lexus RX
This is the one that first lent credibility to crossover-type vehicles, to the extent of becoming the undisputed reference for the category. The RX is an all-purpose vehicle that can take you hunting or to an MSO concert. It’s beautiful and even majestic, and is available as the all-wheel drive fuel-drive RX350 version, or as the hybrid RX450h. The hybrid version is now recognized as the benchmark for the category.
