Exterior features of the new Lifestyle model include roof rails and a rear bumper protection, plus front and rear under-run plates. On the other hand, interior features include a rigid boot liner “ready to cope with muddy boots,” plus a refrigerated cool box that can equally keep food and drinks warm.
According to the manufacturer, specified individually, these features would cost up to GBP1,500, but brought together for the new RX 450h SE-I Lifestyle they add just GBP499 to the on-the-road price, which is from GBP48,899.
