LEXUS has ushered in 2007 with a new addition to its RX range, the RX 350 Limited Edition. This special version of Lexus's luxury sports utility vehicle benefits from a higher specification at a price - £34,495 on the road - that represents exceptional customer value.

Naturally owners are guaranteed Lexus's class-leading levels of refinement and reliability, together with award-winning customer service that is second to none in the industry.

The Limited Edition is positioned in the RX range between the entry-level RX 350 and the RX 350 SE, offering a generous number of extra equipment features. These have a combined value of more than £3,500, but the Limited Edition has an on-the-road price only £2,500 more than the RX 350.

Special features include perforated leather upholstery, heated front seats that are eight-way electrically adjustable, a 40:20:40 split-folding rear seat, 18-inch five-spoke alloy wheels and metallic paint.

These items are in addition to a standard specification that includes cruise control, eight-speaker sound system with in-dash six-CD autochanger, five-speed automatic transmission, leather-trimmed steering wheel with audio controls, high intensity discharge headlights, rear dark-tinted privacy glass, climate control air conditioning, speed-sensitive power steering and a suite of nine cabin airbags, including a driver's knee airbag.

The Limited Edition is also available with the option of the Lexus Multimedia system, with features such as satellite navigation.

Further value is provided by the Limited Edition's class-leading 16E insurance group.

The RX 350 Limited Edition is available in Platinum Ice, Aleutian Grey and Brechin Slate metallic paint finishes with a choice of Oakham Ivory or Pembroke Black leather interiors.

Power is from Lexus's 272bhp 3.5 litre V6 Dual VVT-i petrol engine, which gives 0 to 62mph acceleration in 7.8 seconds and 25.2mpg combined cycle economy.
