In April, Queen Sofia had to stay at the Ruber International Clinic due to an infection.
During the four days of hospitalization, we could see King Felipe and Queen Letizia arriving at the clinic to visit her mother.
The Spanish monarch arrived driving his own car, a Lexus not suitable for all budgets.
Felipe VI has a large collection of official and private vehicles, each designed to meet specific needs.
For example, the Spanish Royal House has armored vehicles such as the Mercedes S-Class, which is valued at more than half a million dollars.
Normally, this car is used for acts and state events for security reasons.
However, the car that stands out above the rest is the Lexus RX.
It is a Japanese luxury SUV that the monarch has adopted as his favorite car for his private outings.
King Felipe of Spain’s favorite car
When it comes to attending personal events, one of his most discreet and comfortable options is his beloved Lexus RX.
The Lexus RX belongs to the fourth generation as it is a 2020 model.
The luxury SUV has a size of 16 feet in length (4.89 meters) and a trunk of up to 1,612 liters of capacity.
King Felipe’s favorite car stands out for its comfort and high level of technology.
What King Felipe enjoys most is that it is a self-recharging hybrid version that gives it an autonomy of up to 450 hours, making it an environmentally friendly option.
This vehicle, in its sporty version, is priced at more than $100,000 dollars, undoubtedly, it is not an affordable vehicle for most people.
However, a lower price has probably been obtained thanks to the agreements of the Royal Household with different automotive brands.
Although many people have not noticed it, this vehicle has been photographed in different family opportunities, such as visits to the home of Queen Letizia’s parents on Three Kings Day, to the official poses of the Infanta Sofia before leaving for Wales.
King Felipe VI’s car collection
King Felipe VI is a great lover of cars. He has been seen driving a Cupra Fomentor to move around the island of Mallorca.
The Royal Family has also been seen in a Seat Alhambra, in an Audi RS6 sedan, a model that is no longer manufactured; or an Audi A8L, with which he has also been seen on many occasions.
Although King Felipe has several options for driving, the Lexus RX stands out as the favorite of King Felipe VI for his private outings.
