The predicted most popular version of the all-new, fifth-generation RX series will be the 350h hybrid, and why not. It's the entry point so most accessible, offers outstanding fuel economy and is pretty lively to boot.

Priced from $87,500 before on-road costs, the base Luxury 2WD is the only front-wheel drive RX on offer, and combines an engine and electric motor up front. A second electric motor on the back axle turns it into AWD for $4500 more. That's known as the e-Four system.

Standard features include LED headlights, electric and heated front seats, keyless entry and start, electric door handles, synthetic leather trim, three-zone climate control, a 14-inch touchscreen with sat-nav, DAB+ digital radio, Android Auto, wireless Apple CarPlay, 'Hey, Lexus' voice control, six USB ports, 40:20:40 split rear seats with auto fold, electrically adjustable steering column, a powered tailgate, roof rails and 19-inch alloy wheels.
