Lexus Malaysia has introduced the RX300 Special
Edition, a model that’s based on the RX300 Luxury but with additional
accessories. It’s priced at RM 434,000, making it RM 10,000 more expensive than
the RX300 Luxury.
Fitted to the ravishing SUV is a set of Lexus-genuine
accessories, starting with the lower front lip for additional protection and
side mouldings. There’s also an integrated one-piece side step to help ease
ingress and egress, particularly for children or elderly individuals.
There are also custom door visors with chrome
accents, as well as a step guard that’s installed at the rear bumper. This
prevents scuffing when loading or unloading goods. Other accessories include
the Welcome Door Lamp (with Lexus logo and wording projection), Touch ‘n Go
reader/transmitter (not RFID compatible) and Digital Video Recorder (DVR,
dashcam).
No changes to the powertrain, so the standard
8AR-FTS 2.0 litre four-cylinder petrol engine continues propulsion duties here.
It’s turbocharged to produce 235 PS and 350 Nm of torque, with power sent to
all four corners through a six-speed ECT automatic transmission.
As usual, the RX300 Special Edition comes with a
five-year unlimited mileage factory warranty. All accessories fitted to the CBU
Japan SUV were installed by trained personnels at UMW Toyota Motor’s own
Accessories Centre in Bukit Raja, Selangor.
