Lexus RX Repair

The Lexus RX is a mid-size luxury crossover five-door SUV (sport utility vehicle) sold by Lexus, Toyota’s luxury division, beginning in 1998. The name “RX” stands for “Radiant Crossover” and has also been labeled as “Recreational Cross Country” in several markets. The Lexus RX was originally released in Japan in 1997 as the Toyota Harrier, but export sales began in March 1999 as the Lexus RX. The RX was classified as a compact luxury crossover SUV between 1998 and 2003, and as a mid-size luxury crossover SUV after 2003. The Lexus RX has been produced through four generations.

The Lexus RX has included both front- and four-wheel drive configurations with several gasoline powertrain options, including V6 engines and hybrid systems. The first-generation RX 300 included a 3.0-liter V6 engine. The Japanese market Toyota Harrier released in 1997 offered a 2.2-liter inline-four engine, which was later upgraded to 2.4-liters. In 2005, a hybridized gasoline-electric version of the 3.3-liter second-generation model was available as the RX 400h in export markets and as the Harrier Hybrid in Japan.

The Lexus RX has been the best-selling luxury SUV since its introduction. It was one of the earliest luxury crossovers on the market and is the top-selling Lexus hybrid. Lexus vehicles can be identified by the Lexus emblem, which includes a letter ‘L’ inside of an oval.
