Lexus have reason to cheer following the RX450h winning the What Car? Best Green SUV Award.Now many people will find it ironic than any SUV, or Chelsea Tractor as they are known, can be deemed as ‘green’, especially for a vehicle that can reach 0-62 miles per hour in just 7.8 seconds and reach a top speed of 124mph.
But, with staggeringly low CO2 emissions of just 148g/km, Lexus really have pulled out the engineering stops, and with impressive economy returns also of 45 miles per gallon.
