The Lexus RX is a compact SUV. Introduced in 1998, the Lexus RX represented a new direction in combining the features of an SUV with the versatility of a family car. The Lexus model is marketed somewhere between a luxury sedan and a sports SUV. The origin of the RX is the Toyota Camry light car, so the SUV behaves accordingly on the road. The Lexus RX has become a commercial success - it has become the most sought-after luxury vehicle in the United States. Those who expect the SUV's features will be disappointed, but those who like the Lexus brand will get what they deserve - luxury, comfort and reliability.
