| Road Test |
A decade ago, the world had precious few SUVs and almost no crossovers, so the concept was completely fresh. With the RX series, Lexus pioneered the crossover-style SUV, based on a unit-body car platform rather than a heavy-duty truck frame. Crossover utility vehicles offer a better ride, as well as improved handling and fuel economy than truck-based SUVs, but they still deliver many of the features buyers want in an SUV: more cargo space than a car, a better view over traffic, and a sense of security that accompanies an elevated driving position.
