2011 Lexus RX 450h SE-I


 
  Review 
   

It seems that 2011 has started in style for British customers with a special edition Lexus RX 450h. Called the SE-I, this new version comes fully equipped for the cold season. The model is already available for order, and with prices starting from £49,398 (£48,899 for the model and an additional £499 for the package).

The SUV’s exterior is distinguished by a new roof rails and a rear bumper protect, plus front and rear under-run plates and a new set of 19-inch alloy wheels. Inside there is a tough boot liner for those occasions where muddy boots are a problem. There is a refrigerated cool box that can not only keep your food and drinks cold, but can also keep them warm during those winter months. The option list includes: Remote Touch control, electrically operated tailgate, front and rear parking sensors, Lexus Navigation System, and a 12-speaker audio system.

Under the hood, everything remains the same. The Lexus RX450h will feature a Lexus Hybrid Drive system with a 3.5-liter V6 engine. This, combined to a new, more efficient inverter delivers 295 hp, 27 more hp than the current generation RX hybrid.

Press release after the jump.

Impressive platform indeed! The classy look and even the luxurious and sophisticated image that I really want for my car is there with RX 450h SE-I. I just only hope that Topspeed also had some pictures of the interior features of this car.

The platform is really had the luxurious and classy image. I love the front headlights of this Lexus RX 450h SE-I. I’m just wondering with the interior designs; I just hope that they also picture of it.

I like this, pure British design many are up to this SUV compared to x5, it is cheaper and still has the power when you need it. Good thing that it comes in a Hybrid engine.

It looks like the Porsche Cayman on its platform. However, I’m still impressed on it, especially on the fact that it is a compact vehicle. One of the cutest and reasonable vehicles!

This compact vehicle of Lexus RX is really so cute, but I noticed that it looks like a Hyundai Tucson on its platform and to its other detailing. Anyway, I think it looks more attractive with a white paint.

The platform really looks so cute! And its glossy paint gives the classy and sophisticated looks on it. I just wish that they also had some pictures of the interior features of it.
