Lexus Bahrain launches 2020 RX & GX models

Ebrahim K. Kanoo, the sole distributor of Lexus vehicles in Bahrain, has launched the 2020 Lexus RX and GX models at the Lexus showroom in Sitra. Ebrahim K. Kanoo Senior Manager of Lexus Marketing, Ayman Shehadeh said, “The Lexus RX and GX models have always been extremely popular luxury SUVs in Bahrain, and we are thrilled to launch the 2020 models.”

The 2020 Lexus RX model also comes in a hybrid variant that encourages sustainable mobility through cutting-edge technology. Both models are also highly capable vehicles due to enhanced technology and stability elements. The new Lexus RX is available with a choice of two powertrains. The RX 350 model with a 3.5-litre V6 petrol engine produces 296 hp and 370 Nm of torque and is mated to an eightspeed automatic transmission.

The RX 450h (Hybrid) variant is equipped with a 3.5-litre V6 petrol engine and two electric motors with a combined system output of 308 hp. Lexus GX is available in a standard 301 hp 4.6-litre V-8 engine producing 438Nm. Its 2948 kg towing capacity makes GX an ideal hauler. As with any Lexus vehicle, safety is a top priority.

Drivers can enjoy complete peace of mind thanks to the Lexus Safety System+, an advanced safety technology package that includes a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection during daylight and certain lowlight conditions, as well as daytime cyclist detection, all-speed range dynamic radar cruise control, lane tracing alert, and adaptive high-beam system.

The Lexus GX comes in 8 vibrant exterior colours including sonic titanium, White Pearl Crystal Shine, Mercury Gray Mica, black, Satlight Black Glass Flake, Garnet Red Mica, Fire Agate Mica Metallic, and Deep Blue Mica. The Lexus RX comes in 11 distinctive exterior colours, including the newly-developed terrane khaki mica metallic and ice ecru mica metallic, which evoke an aura of luxury and glamour.
