Lexus breaks new ground in the UK with official sales launch of the new RX 450hL, its first seven-seat model in the UK. Extending the appeal of the RX luxury SUV, the new RX L provides an extra two seats with no compromise in the comfort of all passengers on board.

It shares the same smooth, efficient and reliable self-charging hybrid powertrain as the five-seat RX, but benefits from a revised body extended from the rear axle to ensure the additional seats offer good head and leg-room and are easy to access. Comfort and convenience are further addressed by a power-folding system for the third row seats and triple-zone climate control being provided as standard on all versions of the RX L.
