[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ji-hee] Lexus Korea announced that it has newly added the ‘RX 450h F SPORT’ to the RX lineup and will start sales from the 7th. The RX 450h F SPORT is a model that adds the ‘F SPORT,’ which signifies a sports package, to the hybrid sport utility vehicle (SUV) 'RX 450h.'


The exterior design of the RX 450h F SPORT features a mesh-pattern spindle grille design, black-toned side mirrors and rear bumper, and 20-inch aluminum wheels. Inside, it includes sports seats that firmly support the body, a sports steering wheel and gear knob with perforated surfaces for excellent grip, aluminum pedals, and an F SPORT-exclusive instrument cluster.


Comfortable ride quality is achieved through the application of Electronically Controlled Variable Suspension (AVS) and performance dampers. Additionally, a Sport Plus (SPORT+) mode has been added to the drive mode selector, allowing for a more dynamic driving experience.

Numerous safety features have also been equipped. The Rear Cross Traffic Auto Brake system (RCTAB) detects vehicles approaching from the rear and sides while reversing, warns the driver, and assists in collision prevention through brake control when operating conditions are met. The Parking Support Brake (PKSB) detects collision risks with objects in front and behind during parking.


To commemorate this launch, Lexus Korea has appointed KPGA professional golfers Song Young-han, Lee Soo-min, and Ham Jung-woo as brand ambassadors. They will participate in competitions wearing uniforms bearing the Lexus logo and will attend various marketing activities in the future.


Lee Byung-jin, Executive Director of Lexus Korea, said, “With the launch of the Lexus RX 450h F SPORT, we are able to offer customers a wider range of choices. Starting with the RX 450h as the base, we hope customers will experience the RX lineup that suits their lifestyle, including the RX 450hL for family outdoor activities and the RX 450h F SPORT with dynamic driving performance.”


The price of the Lexus RX 450h F SPORT is 89.9 million KRW.



Meanwhile, from today until the 29th, Lexus official service centers nationwide will conduct a service campaign. Customers who bring their vehicles to the service centers can receive a free inspection of 12 safety-related items, a 10% discount on tire parts prices and labor costs, and a 10% discount on parts prices and labor costs for five consumables (air conditioner filter, air cleaner element, 12V battery, 0W40 engine oil, and oil filter).
