The RX 450h has been around for a while. But now it’s an even more enticing package, with the news that South African motorists may use the vehicle for towing purposes. (Lexus decided -“ in view of our climate -“ to conduct extensive tests prior to granting this approval.) The vehicle is actually ideal for towing, because it draws power from up to three sources (one petrol engine, two electric motors), meaning there is oodles of power and torque on tap. The RX 450h emits just 148 g/km of CO2, very good for this class of vehicle.
