A series of reliably efficient engines in the 2022 Lexus RX

Ultimate efficiency and reliability have always been priorities in Lexus vehicles, and the RX series incorporates a set of very capable engines.  

The RX 350 AWD uses a 3.5-litre V6 engine with an output of 290 horsepower. It surpasses the XC60’s base engine, the B5, which inly outputs 247 horsepower.

Thanks to the incredibly reliable 3,5-litre V6 engine paired to the innovative Lexus hybrid system and an efficient continuously variable transmission, the RX 450h gets a fuel consumption rating of 7.5 L/100 km in the city and 8.4 L/100 km on the highway.

The RX will cost much less than the Volvo XC60 T8 to own, which has thirstier ratings of 9.5 L/100 km in the city and 8.7 L/100 km on the highway.

The 2022 Lexus RX is upscale and spacious

Interior room is important in an SUV in order for you to be able to carry everything you and your family needs. And while some hybrid models sacrifice interior room because of poor engineering/positioning of their hybrid systems, the 2022 Lexus RX hybrid models prove otherwise.

With up to 1,580 litres of total available cargo space when the rear seats are folded and 694 litres when it is full of passengers, the RX 450h can take everything you need to transport. Plus, if you opt for the 450h L variant, you’ll get even more space, with up to 1,658 litres.

The Volvo XC60 has less room for your things, with only 598 litres in normal configuration and 1,410 litres when the rear seats are down.
