While Toyota has provided the world with the gold standard of the practical green vehicle, the Toyota Prius, they have not stopped there.\u00a0 Akio Toyoda, the\u00a0president of the company and heir to an automotive legacy, has a serious vision for where he wants the company to go, as well as a high standard of excellence for both new production\u00a0models and concepts.<\/p>\n

While this is a grand quality, the market bears out that good automotive leadership is not relegated to the realms of the futurists, but it necessitates a knowledge of what people want and need in the present.\u00a0 People need fuel efficiency, and people want to be environmentally friendly.\u00a0 People need a practical workhorse to get them from A to B, and people want a vehicle characterised by luxury and versatility.\u00a0 For those of us who want or need the best of all worlds, Lexus, Toyota\u2019s luxury wing, has given us the 2012 Lexus RX Hybrid.<\/p>\n

The 2012 Lexus RX Hybrid contains both worlds, that\u00a0of serious off road capability, and that of finesse, style, and warm luxury.\u00a0 Equipped with a 3.5-liter V6 engine, revving up to\u00a0almost\u00a0300 horsepower,\u00a0this four wheel drive workhorse will take you off road to just about anywhere you would dare to go.\u00a0 And then, of course, there is the luxury.\u00a0 Wrapped in leather and fine wood, not to mention the state of the art communication\/navigation and music system, the RX offers every creature comfort imaginable in the realm of the luxury SUV.<\/p>\n

And then of course there is the third world: Efficiency.\u00a0 With a 30 combined\u00a0mpg, the 2012 Lexus RX Hybrid ranks second in the category of the most fuel efficient SUVs on the market today (the Ford Escape Hybrid ranks #1, but we will leave that for another post).\u00a0 With this kind of mileage, any Arizona adventurer is much more likely to take that weekend trip to the mountains on a whim (and the weekend adventures taken on a whim are always the sweetest).<\/p>\n

Phoenix Valley auto enthusiasts can view and test drive any current production model Lexus\u00a0at any Phoenix Valley Lexus dealer.\u00a0 Phoenix Valley auto enthusiasts should plan on attending the Phoenix Arizona International Auto Show to learn about the most recent concepts and innovations in the way of hybrid, electric, and alternative fuel technologies from Toyota\/Lexus, as well as the rest of the auto industry, taking place at the Phoenix Arizona Convention center over Thanksgiving weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lexus RX Hybrid contains serious off road capability, finesse, style, and warm luxury…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1909,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[12],"class_list":["post-1908","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-car-reviews","tag-featured","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"yoast_head":"\nLexus RX Hybrid is Tri-Perfection<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"2012 Lexus RX Hybrid Luxury SUV Fuel Efficiency Ford Escape Electric Off Road Most Efficient Scottsdale Phoenix Arizona Valley\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/autos\/lexus-rx-hybrid-is-tri-perfection\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Lexus RX Hybrid is Tri-Perfection\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"2012 Lexus RX Hybrid Luxury SUV Fuel Efficiency Ford Escape Electric Off Road Most Efficient Scottsdale Phoenix Arizona Valley\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/autos\/lexus-rx-hybrid-is-tri-perfection\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Arizona Auto News -
