Product Overview

Lexus RX 3 (chassis code AL10) is a premium mid-size crossover in production from 2009 to 2012, whereupon it received a facelift. It was available with a range of V6 engines that displaced 3.5 liters.
Compared to the Mk2 RX, the Mk3 has a slightly cleaner exterior design. It has received a new range of automatic transmissions (6- or 8-speed instead of the old 5-speed), though the most popular option in Europe has been the hybrid. All have proven to be exceptionally reliable.
