The Executive Edition builds on the Luxury trim with leather upholstery and the Lexus Navigation system as well as front and rear parking sensors, 17-inch alloy wheels, dusk-sensing HID headlights, cruise control, auto-dimming rear view mirror, dual-zone climate control and rain-sensing wipers. Priced at £29,995 OTR, the trim brings £3,390 of extra value.
