Honest John » Car by Car » Lexus » RX300 2003

Generously equipped, luxurious interior. Nicer to drive than a Range Rover. Extremely well screwed together.

  • Road Test: Lexus RX300 2002 Road Test
    On the face of it, the Lexus RX300 is a ridiculous vehicle. After all, who needs a fancy, jacked-up, four-wheel-drive, five-seater estate car with limited off-road ability, limited performance and a petrol habit of 22.5 mpg?
  • Road Test: BMW X5 3.0D Sport 2002 Road Test
    BMW shouldn't have messed around naming this the X5. They should have come straight out and called it the Intimidator. Painted solid black, with black glass, a big V8 petrol engine and a set of four drainpipe exhausts, it's the ultimate in motorway muscle.

    It’s nearly 4 years since the Volvo XC90 was launched. You can see my original test way back at Volvo XC90 2002 Road Test.

    Also Consider

    • BMW X5 2000
      Excellent drive on the road and very capable off it. Commanding road presence and sky-high image. Five-star crash test rating from June 2003.
    • Mercedes-Benz ML-Class 1998
      Refined engines and decent performance. Classy image despite American build.
    • Volkswagen Touareg 2003
      Luxurious, safe, accomplished 4x4. Comfortable on road, very capable off it. V10 TDI is astonishing, 2.5 TDI and 3.0V6 TDI the sensible choices.
    • Lexus RX400h 2005
      Very successful hybrid application. Performance of a V8 SUV with better than diesel SUV economy. Handles well too. Most ECO friendly big SUV.
