Detailed review and test of the Lexus RX500h F Sport Performance, including turbo hybrid engine, handling, interior, price and more.

The new Lexus RX is still a great quality luxury SUV but it’s now better to drive. You can have a regular hybrid (RX350h), a non-hybrid turbo engine (RX350), or you can combine turbo and hybrid propulsion in the range-topping RX500h, as tested here.

It’s expensive but as Chasing Cars deputy editor Curt Dupriez determines, you do get an effective result.

Rivals include the Volkswagen Touareg, Audi Q7, BMW X3 and X5, Mercedes GLE and other premium SUVs.
