Revised interior styling, with new leather, a mouse-like Remote Touch system and redesigned steering wheel with a hybrid mode selector, completes a package of upgrades which includes LED styling and updated bodywork in line with the new GS executive saloon.

F Sport, introduced on the CT 200h compact hybrid, offers a BMW-rivalling sports option with alumium interior accents, more supportive seats and scuff plates with a black Lexus logo. All models gain a Sport mode for the Lexus Hybrid Drive, which sharpens throttle responses and makes the driver assistance systems less intrusive.

The RX 450h is priced from £44,495, while the F Sport starts at £51,995.
