The all-new Lexus RX is to take a starring role at the 79th Venice International Film Festival – La Biennale di Venezia.
The luxury brand is returning as sponsor for a sixth consecutive year, and the RX SUV will be the official car at the prestigious event.
Due for launch towards the end of this year, the all-new RX will be Lexus’ first performance-focused hybrid – the turbocharged RX 500h with DIRECT4 all-wheel drive force control.
It will feature alongside the first plug-in hybrid electric RX, the RX 450h+ and the new RX 350h premium hybrid electric model.
As the official car of the festival, the RX will be used to chauffeur festival VIP guests, celebrities and officials to and from red carpet events, supported by other models from the Lexus range, including the all-electric UX 300e crossover.
In keeping with the glamour of the event, the Lexus fleet will also feature the LC Convertible – the multi-award-winning flagship model.
