Lexus has launched the Crafted Edition for a trio of its SUVs Down Under, namely the UX, NX and RX, all of which get the Encore Platinum Owner Benefits program as standard. The program brings eight valet parking vouchers at certain shopping centers and unlocks the Lexus on Demand, a feature that allows owners to hop inside another Lexus, such as the RX L, LX 570 and LS, for up to eight days, or the RC F and LC for the weekend.
