The luxury SUV landscape in India just got a little more accessible. Lexus has introduced the RX 350h Exquisite — a new entry-level trim for its RX-series — priced attractively at ₹89.99 lakh (ex-showroom).
Powertrain & What’s Under the Hood
The RX 350h Exquisite retains the same hybrid setup as before: a 2.5-litre petrol engine paired with an electric motor, and an e-CVT transmission.
Combined output is a healthy 246 hp, giving the SUV smooth performance and a 0–100 km/h sprint in 7.9 seconds.
Lexus promises the same balance of refinement, fuel efficiency, and hybrid smoothness that buyers expect from its luxury line-up.
Interiors & Features — No Compromise on Comfort
Despite the price drop compared with the previous “Luxury” trim, Exquisite carries forward a very rich equipment list:
- Spacious and premium cabin with high-end materials
- 10-way power-adjustable front seats (with memory)
- Heated and ventilated seats for front and rear passengers — rare in this price band for a luxury SUV.
- A large 14-inch touchscreen infotainment system
- 360° camera setup for easy parking
- Electrically reclining rear seats for added comfort
- Ambient cabin lighting for the premium feel
As an optional upgrade, buyers can pick the 21-speaker Mark Levinson audio system (for about ₹2 lakh extra), giving the RX an even more premium in-car entertainment experience.
What This Means for Buyers
By bringing down the starting price from ₹96.13 lakh (previous Luxury trim) to ₹89.99 lakh, Lexus has made the RX 350h more accessible — opening the doors for more buyers looking for a luxury hybrid SUV.
For those wanting a blend of hybrid efficiency, luxury features, comfort, and a brand-backed ownership package, RX 350h Exquisite offers a compelling value proposition. In a segment dominated by premium SUVs, this launch strengthens Lexus’s position significantly.
