Drag coefficient = .33

The Lexus RX350 is the best selling luxury SUV in america. The RX offers a great blend of comfort, technology and exceptional reliability. Lexus was ranked the number one most dependable brand for 2014 by JD power and associates. Not surprisingly The RX350 won first place in the premium midsized CUV segment. This is a car you can drive for 300,000 miles worry free.

The RX350 comes equipped with a 3.5L V6 producing 270 hp and 248 lb-ft of torque. Because of its naturally aspirated engine, fuel economy is only decent at 18mpg city and 26mpg highway. But from this you gain more responsiveness over its turbocharged competitors. The F sport variant features an 8 speed automatic for smoother shifts and improved gas mileage. Steering mounted paddles and a sport tuned suspension are added as well. 0-60 for the rx350 happens in a leisurely 7.7 seconds.The all wheel drive system features active torque control that is able to monitor the vehicle and road conditions. In the event that there is a loss of traction, the system automatically delivers up to 50% of the available torque to the rear wheels.


It’s very comfortable to drive. The steering is tight, the visibility is great and and seats are soft and supportive. Passengers will be equally as pleased with the optional rear seat entertainment system as well as reclining rear seats. In the back you’ve got plenty of leg room, enough head room and a fantastic amount of storage space in the boot.

On the outside the RX350 is a pretty car. Opt for the F sport model and it becomes more striking from almost any angle. Standard are 18 inch wheels (5 spoke) with a range of 3 sets of 19’s availible. The front of the RX sports the signature spindle grill and LED running lights.

Back on the inside the optional $5000 luxury package gives you a perforated leather interior, memory seats, a power tilt and slide moon roof, front seat cushion extenders, 19 inch rims and a whole host of extras.

Lexus features its enform app suite bringing you content like yelp, bing, pandora, iheartradio and more. The multimedia system is controlled by a joystick mounted on the center console. While its pleasing to move its rather difficult to select items and can become frustrating.

The RX350 features some competitive technology. Smog sensors detect harmful emissions from other vehicles on the road and automatically switches to recirculation for the climate control. The option Head up display unit provides turn by turn directions as wheel as your current speed.

To keep up with the rest of the market, the RX350 can be equipped with various electronic safety aids such as blind-spot monitoring, a pre-collision alert system and adaptive cruise control.

The RX350 AWD model starts at a bit over $42,000. The F sport at 48 7 and the range topping RX450 hybrid at 49k.

If you are looking for an extremely reliable, relaxing to drive, well rounded midsized luxury SUV, the RX350 is the best on the market. Special thanks to Lexus of ann arbor michigan for making this review possible, this exact car is available there now and I highly recommend you go test drive it.
