As the earliest luxury crossover on the market, the Lexus RX has inspired similar competitors from rival marques. Based on the unibody front-engine, front-wheel drive multi-model platform used by the Lexus ES, the RX is designed to combine the functional characteristics of an SUV with ride and features of a luxury sedan. Its commercial success as Lexus' best-selling model has been attributed to the strong reliability reputation of Lexus and the RX line. The RX is offered as GX's crossover counterpart, and is Lexus' only crossover SUV.
The daring style of the LF-C luxury sports coupe concept car suggests where Lexus design is heading. The exterior features a confident stance and short overhangs, while the vehicle's performance resonates with the interior's racing–inspired styling and drive-by-wire steering. It lives up to its promise with the high-output, front-mounted V8 engine and six-speed sequential automatic transmission.
The redesigned RX 350 features a revised 3.5-liter 2GR-FE V6 engine producing 275 horsepower (205 kW) with a wider power curve, it remains ULEV-II certified and now uses a six-speed automatic transmission with sequential shift. A double wishbone rear suspension setup replaces the previous MacPherson strut design for improved handling and greater cargo space, while an optional Sports Package adds a performance-tuned suspension. Both non-hybrid and hybrid models continue in either front or all-wheel drive configurations, with the all-wheel drive system gaining Active Torque Control for greater efficiency, and all models are built off the new midsize flexible K-platform. American RX 350 sales began in February 2009 as a 2010 model.
All RX models came standard with dual front airbags, front row side torso airbags, side curtain airbags, a driver's knee airbag, Vehicle Stability Control (VDIM on RX 400h) and a tire-pressure monitoring system standard. An Adaptive Front-lighting System (AFS) with HID headlamps and a backup camera (w/navigation system) were optional.
The Lexus RX received a "Good" overall rating in the IIHS frontal crash test.
NHTSA crash test results in 2004 rated the RX 330 the maximum five stars in the Frontal Driver, Frontal Passenger, Side Driver, and Side Rear Passenger categories, and four of five stars in the Rollover category. 2010 Lexus RX 350 - Newest gallery: 2010 Lexus RX 350 the all-new 2010 RX 350 gallery: 2010 Lexus RX 350 2010 Lexus RX350 Slide Show 2010 Lexus RX 350 2010 Lexus IS 350….and….2010 2010 Lexus RX 350 2010-lexus-rx-350-and-450h 2010 Lexus RX 350 2010 Lexus RX 350 2010 Lexus RX 350 Rear Three 2010 Lexus RX 350 Review Tags: 2010 lexus rx 350 2010 Lexus RX 350 interior
