Lexus RX Crafted special revealed

Limited-edition Lexus RX brings extras for a price

Lexus Australia has released a limited-edition version of its RX large SUV to slot between the entry-level Luxury and high-sped F-Sport model variants.

Limited to 300 units, the Lexus RX Crafted special is available in five-seat RX 300 four-cylinder turbo, RX 350 V6 petrol and RX 450h hybrid guises, priced from $81,351.

That makes the RX 300 Crafted about $7000 pricier than the RX 300 Luxury and around $5000 cheaper than the RX300 F-Sport.

Extras include a moonroof, colour head-up display, 12.3-inch high-definition infotainment screen (up from 8.0-inch) and a premium 15-speaker Mark Levinson sound system.

Outside, there are black 20-inch alloy wheels and black grille accents, fog light surrounds, mirror caps and rear bumper.

Carryover safety features from the fourth-generation Lexus RX, which was joined by the first seven-seat RX L model in February, include Lexus Safety System+ comprising a pre-collision safety system with pedestrian detection and autonomous emergency braking.
