The new Lexus RX hybrid goes on sale this week in all Irish Lexus dealerships.
Lexus Ireland says it is the only vehicle of its kind to fall into CO2 tax band C (€302 annual Road Tax), thanks to its emissions level of 148g/km.
It can now drive for up to four kilometres at less than 45km/h on electrical power alone, producing no emissions.
The vehicle is available in an Executive and a Sport grade at €62,000 and €68,400 respectively.
The Executive grade is a new entry level.
