The Lexus RX300 has a length of 4890mm, a width of 1895mm, and a height of 1710mm. These figures are official data. The length of the Lexus RX300 refers to the distance between two vertical lines perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetrical plane, touching the outermost protruding points at the front and rear of the vehicle. The width refers to the distance between two planes parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetrical plane, touching the outermost rigid fixed protruding points on both sides of the vehicle. The height refers to the distance between the highest point of the vehicle and its supporting plane. There are national regulations regarding vehicle dimensions. According to the national standard 'GB1589-89,' the total width of a vehicle does not include side mirrors. The limitation on vehicle width is to provide sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking between adjacent lanes. In other words, under national standards, the significance of vehicle width data is to ensure enough space during overtaking, preventing accidents due to excessive width or situations where road markings are narrower than the vehicle's width. Additionally, national regulations stipulate that the total width of a vehicle must not exceed 2.5m to meet the requirements of public road usage. Lexus RX300 Powertrain: As a special edition model based on the 2021 RX300, this vehicle is equipped with a 2.0T four-cylinder engine, delivering a maximum power of 170 kW and a peak torque of 350 N·m. The transmission system is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission and features a four-wheel-drive system.
As a long-time owner of the Lexus RX300, I must say its dimensions are quite suitable for daily use. It's approximately 4.89 meters in length, 1.89 meters in width, and about 1.7 meters in height. You need to leave some space when parking, especially in tight garages, but it drives very smoothly without feeling floaty on highways. The interior is spacious, with the second row easily accommodating three people, and the trunk has ample space for plenty of luggage. I often take my family on trips, and the kids never complain about being cramped in the back. The larger size does slightly increase fuel consumption, but the hybrid version helps a lot. Overall, as an urban SUV, its dimensions strike a good balance between comfort and practicality, avoiding the impact on maneuverability that comes with being too large.
