Sales of Lexus RX400h have risen by 28% in the United Kingdom.
Due to concerns over climate change SUVs have always been unfavoured by the environmental lobbyists. Now we are experiencing high petrol prices the sales of SUV have been hit hard as people can no longer afford to run them.
All SUV sales fell in July except for the Lexus RX400h. Other famous brands in the class fell by an average of 30% prompting conerns in the sector. The positive news was from Lexus who still remain the only hybrid drive SUV on the market.
This car has an efficient fuel economy of 34.7 mpg on a combined cycle and emits just 192 g/km of CO2. This means that it costs similar amounts to run as a much smaller family car but still has the benefits of a large SUV.
Belinda Poole, Lexus GB Director, said: “The RX 400h is the first and remains the only hybrid SUV on the market. This gives customers a unique proposition of SUV style and practicality with lower fuel consumption and emissions.”
“In what is a tough market overall, this gives our Lexus Centres a great advantage in being able to offer the type of car customers want, but without the penalties in running costs they would incur with models from rival brands.”
We currently have some fantastic deals on the Lexus RX400h. Starting from £519.95 plus VAT these offers will not last long due to the high demand. To see the full specification please follow the link below:
