Review: 2016 Lexus RX (05:44)

It was nearly two years ago that Lexus started its trek in a bold new direction, at least aesthetically, with the launch of the NX compact crossover.

Not long after, the luxury brand introduced the equally eye-catching RC coupe.

The next step in the journey was to give the RX a similar overhaul for 2016 as Lexus continues to shed its conservative reputation.

The Motoring TV team was on hand for the launch to check out the RX 350 and RX 450h, as well as their respective F SPORT models, to find out if the improvements are more than just skin-deep.
