The global rollout of the facelifted Lexus RX crossover continues with the launch of the RX 450h in the UK. The hybrid model is on sale now with on-the-road prices ranging from £44,495 to £55,495.

The revamped RX 450h is offered in four trim levels including the base SE, the Luxury, the newly introduced F Sport and the Premier.

The SE model gains LED daytime running lights, a new perforated leather upholstery and re-designed steering wheel, while the Luxury grade model adds dark-finish 19-inch alloy wheels and upgraded 12-speaker audio system with aDABdigital tuner and single-discDVDplayer.

The new F Sport grade adopts a sportier persona with a bespoke front bumper and dedicated mesh treatment for the upper and lower grilles, along with dark-finish 19-inch alloy wheels on the outside, and aluminium-effect sports pedals and trim inserts, leather upholstery and scuff plates with the Lexus logo in black for the interior. A sports suspension with a lateral damper system completes the upgrades for the F Sport.

The most expensive model of the series is the Premier, which is newly equipped as standard with a tilt/slide sunroof and head-up display.
