In April, Queen Sofia got sick and had to stay at the Ruber International Clinic for four days.
King Felipe and Queen Letizia went to visit her during her hospital stay. King Felipe drove his own car to the clinic, a fancy Lexus.
King Felipe’s Car Collection
King Felipe has a bunch of official and private cars for different needs. There’s the super expensive armored Mercedes S-Class, used for big events because it’s safe.
But his top pick for personal trips is the Lexus RX.
About the Lexus RX
The Lexus RX is a big fancy SUV from Japan. King Felipe’s version is from 2020 and is the fourth model. It’s about 16 feet long and has a big trunk.
Why King Felipe Likes It
King Felipe loves that his Lexus RX is a hybrid, meaning it partly runs on electricity. It can go up to 450 hours without needing a recharge, which is awesome for the environment.
Price Tag
This car is not cheap at all! It can cost more than $100,000, but because the Royal Household probably has special deals, they might have gotten it for less.
Spotting the Lexus RX
Even though it’s a pricey ride, you might have seen it in family photos, like when they visited Queen Letizia’s parents or when the Infanta Sofia posed for pictures before heading to Wales.
Other Cars King Felipe Drives
King Felipe really likes cars. Besides the Lexus, he’s been seen driving a Cupra Fomentor in Mallorca.
The Royal Family also rides in a Seat Alhambra, an Audi RS6 sedan, and an Audi A8L. But for his own adventures, the Lexus RX is King Felipe’s top choice.
