The Lexus RX Core variant is the value-focused luxury SUV choice for New Zealand buyers seeking the essential refinement, safety and efficiency of the current RX range. Core is not an official local grade name, so the RX 350h Premium is the closest factory comparison with a 184 kW self-charging hybrid system, five-seat comfort and a comprehensive standard specification.
No. The current factory grades include RX 350h Premium, RX 350h Limited, RX 450h+ Limited and RX 500h F SPORT Performance.
The RX 350h Premium is the closest entry-grade comparison.
It pairs a 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine with Lexus Hybrid Drive for 184 kW of total system output.
The official brochure lists 5.4 L/100 km combined for the RX 350h under standardised testing, while real-world consumption varies.
The RX 350h Premium includes a 14-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Lexus navigation and a 12-speaker audio system.
The official specification includes Lexus Safety System+, eight airbags, blind-spot monitoring, parking support and a five-star ANCAP safety rating.
This row uses eight official non-F SPORT colours: Sonic Quartz, Sonic Iridium, Sonic Shade, Graphite Black, Sonic Copper, Titanium, Burgundy and Terrane Khaki.
It suits buyers wanting the most accessible current RX hybrid without prioritising the Limited grade's premium seating, audio and parking upgrades.
