Both Crafted Edition models are finished in two-tone black with white leather upholstery and black open-pour walnut-look trim, while the driver gets a head-up display.

The variants also receive darker tones on the grille, front bumper, and mirror caps, as well as on the 20-inch alloy wheels.

Standard features also include; a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, wireless smartphone charging, 10-way adjustable power front seats, LED headlights, and Safety Sense+.

There are no changes under the bonnet, with the RX 300 being powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine producing 175kW and 350Nm, driving the front wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission.

The five-seater RX 350 uses a 3.5-litre non-turbo V6 petrol engine, which sends 221kW and 370Nm to all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic.
