Lexus RX450h launched in Singapore
Straits Times, 19 May '09

Lexus has launched the RX450h petrol-electric hybrid SUV in Singapore.

Starting at S$ 188,000 (US$ 128,800), the new luxury SUV is more powerful and yet more fuel-efficient than the previous model. One of the main differences is a bigger V6 (3.5 versus 3.3 previously) with a higher compression ratio (12.5 versus 10.8:1).

More than 30 units were snapped up before the official launch on May 13th.
