Toyota’s luxury brand Lexus has recently announced plans to offer the RX270 in Australia.
Set to go on sale next month, the entry-level SUV is powered by a 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine with 185 hp at 5,800 rpm and 252 Nm of torque at 4,200 rpm. It will be offered exclusively with front-wheel drive instead of AWD system to improve the fuel efficiency and CO2 emissions.
In this market, the Lexus RX270 will be priced at around $70,000 Australian (US$69,000) and will compete with the BMW X3 and the Audi Q5.
