2WD Lexus RX hybrid

Lexus Ireland has announced a 2WD version of the RX Hybrid, to be available in January 2010. It represents the first full size crossover with Band B CO2 emissions.

Announced to coincide with the Frankfurt Motor Show, Ireland will be the first market to get the 2WD RX, with prices starting at €55,500. CO2 emissions are 140g/km.

As with the AWD version, the 2WD model also offers EV mode which allows the RX hybrid to be driven under electric motor power alone.

The 2WD format is available through the removal of the rear electric motor.
