Lexus RX
The Lexus RX stands out with a remarkably smooth and quiet ride, superior build quality and excellent resale value. It offers a wide range of powertrains, with the hybrid models proving particularly fuel-efficient, especially the RX 450h+ plug-in hybrid which can travel up to 60 km on battery power alone. However, its driving dynamics don't quite match those of German rivals, and car thieves continue to love the RX resulting in hefty insurance premiums.
