You just can't go wrong with the Lexus RX350 luxury midsize crossover SUV. With comfortable, spacious seating for five passengers, low emissions, great gas mileage and all the gadgets, gauges and goodies that Lexus is known for.
With a 275 horse power, 3.5 liter V6 engine and a 6 speed automatic transmission under the hood, you'll be ready for wherever the road takes you. The EPA estimated MPG for city driving is 18 and 25 for highway. The RX350 is available in front or all-wheel-drive. Some car enthusiasts claim the cabin area is not as quiet as other Lexus models however you won't even notice as you will be playing the Premium Mark Levinson surround sound audio system.
This SUV will definitely light up your life. It has intelligent high-beam headlamps that detect oncoming vehicles and automatically switches to low beam. Depending on the model you choose, the adaptive front light system is capable of turning 20 degrees on the left side or 10 degrees on the right. On the inside the heads-up display will show you directions to the movie theatre, how fast you are going and other information you are dying to know all fashionably displayed on your windshield.
If you like to give orders then this car has one feature you will love. The voice-recognition system will adjust the temperature by four degrees if you complain out loud that you are too hot or too cold. It also becomes a person secretary as it dials the number of whomever you want to call and the navigation system will tell you in a pleasant voice when you have missed your turn. The back-up camera and park assist are just two more features to keep you coming back for more.
This SUV is available in nine amazing exterior colors ranging from matador red mica to obsidian and three dramatic interior colors: parchment leather with brown walnut accents, light gray leather with espresso birds-eye maple accents or black leather trim with brown walnut accents. The rear spoiler looks impressive and the 18? alloy wheels are a nice touch as well. The tow hitch allowing you to pull 3,500 pounds gives this vehicle some muscle and makes it versatile enough to take to work on Monday and camping on the weekend with the bass boat right behind you.
As an added bonus you also get the dynamic radar cruise control, a power rear door and a smart access key that allows you to unlock the door with a touch of your hand. If you are into accessorizing you have plenty to choose from: remote engine starter, all weather cargo mat, first aid kit, body side mouldings, a glass breakage sensor that ?hears? the sound of breaking glass and activates the alarm system and many others.
The Lexus RX350 is an SUV with substance; it's as beautiful as it is functional. It's perfect for small families, single people, business owners, retired couples or the gadget geek who can't get enough technology. Lexus should get a standing ovation for this superior model.
