Compare Lexus Rx repair quotes from specialist garages

Lexus is known for making luxury vehicles designed according to its defining philosophy: "the pursuit of perfection". In the 2023 Auto Trader New Car Awards, it was voted 'Most Reliable Brand' for the fourth time, maintaining its status as a top manufacturer in the UK.

With several cameos in TV shows (notably Breaking Bad, Silent Witness and Modern Family) and mentions in hip-hop songs (Ignition by R. Kelly and Jay-Z's Somewhere in America), this is a brand deeply ingrained in pop culture.

Lexus has also made waves in the world of motorsport, becoming the first manufacturer to enter a production hybrid car - the Rx 400h - in the Nurburgring 24-hour race.

The Lexus RX is a luxury mid-size crossover SUV introduced in 1998. It is known for its smooth ride, stylish interior, and cutting-edge equipment. Top speeds typically range from 115 to 130 mph, with a 0-60 time of seven to eight seconds, depending on the engine configuration.

The RX was crowned 'Best Premium Hybrid Car' at the DrivingElectric Awards in 2020 for the second consecutive year, and more recently, it was named 'Best Large SUV' at the Car Expert Awards 2024. Lexus is one of the most reliable car brands, and the RX lives up to this reputation with few known problems to report.
