Most Helpful Review

Silent cabin, smoother driving, music system amazing.

My friend uses this one. amazing driving experience smooth driving. interior quality is next to fab. performance is like setting a gear on (D) and the car is ready to take off! The music system is amazing. I know the service as I own a Fortuner so there is no doubt after sales in Toyota and Lexus!

Amazing Luxury Package

The car is very underrated in the era of BMW & Mercs, Overall the package is outstanding, the interiors are class-leading plush leather & top-class fit and finishes, and 8 yr of a comprehensive warranty, and Lexus protection are additional cheery on the cake. The only thing is EMT, not sure how it would pan out over the years. Super excited to own the car & enjoy a trouble-free ownership experience.
