Premium Sound System For Premium Lexus SUV

JAPANESE car maker Lexus has released a new version of its RX premium SUV.

Despite the inclusion of the Lexus-bespoke audio package (that has a £1,000 list price) and a set of new-design 19-inch alloy, wheels, the price tag for the new Advance variant is unchanged, matching its predecessor at £48,495.
