Lexus reintroduces Crafted Edition UX, NX and RX SUVs

Lexus has reintroduced its special Crafted Edition variants across its luxury SUV range, which bring bespoke trim features and an enhanced ownership experience.

As a bonus, owners are offered a complimentary three-year membership to Lexus’ Encore Platinum owner benefits program that offers the ability to swap into another Lexus to suit lifestyle or travel needs and offers eight valet parking vouchers at participating shopping centres.

That’s on top of standard Lexus Encore membership perks such as capped price servicing, roadside assistance, service loan-cars, hotel partnerships and Caltex fuel discounts.
