EXTERIOR
The 2024 Lexus RX is unapologetic when it comes to exterior styling and elegance. Sleek lines and sculpted surfaces make it appear in motion even though it is stationary. The edges, the angles, and every proportion deliver a 10/10 sophistication from the front to the rear, drawing attention in the streets of Eldoret from Kapsoya to Huruma.
The signature spindle grille has been integrated with the hood line, flanked by LED headlights & daytime running lights for modern command. The roofline gently slopes towards the rear, integrating with a roof spoiler. 17-inch alloy wheels inject maximum flair. The rear is equally elegant, featuring a power liftgate and distinctive LED taillights. The Lexus badging is present to stamp its authority from Kitengela to Kamakis.

INTERIOR & TECHNOLOGY
The 2024 Lexus RX does not disappoint when it comes to interior styling. Occupants have plenty of space and practicality for a comfortable ride. The cockpit is driver-centric, and the cabin is properly insulated, preventing unwanted outside noise from causing discomfort. The first row has plenty of legroom and headroom. The seats are power-adjustable and feature heating and ventilation functions. The second row has ample knee room and headroom. Leather upholstery, aluminum accents, and soft touches have been incorporated for a premium look.
Automatic climate control with multi-zone arrangements regulates room temperature. It comes in handy when driving in Malindi or Watamu, where temperatures can be extremely high. A panoramic sunroof improves the ambiance in the cabin, while a touchscreen infotainment system connected with Apple CarPlay & Android Auto enhances connectivity. For enhanced convenience, you have keyless entry & start, a push-start button, and a wireless charger. Its boot space is ample enough for light luggage. If you have tons of freight you want to transport from Nyeri to Thika, you need to consider the Howo Sinotruck pickup.
PERFORMANCE: How Does it Handle Kenyan Roads?
