Luxury 4dr All-wheel Drive
2019 Lexus RX 350L
The Lexus RX is smooth and striking and versatile-and it's by far the best-selling mid-size luxury crossover SUV. It returns for the 2019 model year with few changes. The RX 350 is powered by a 295?horsepower 3.5-liter V-6, mated to an 8-speed automatic, with front-wheel drive or available all-wheel drive. The RX 450h hybrid uses a less powerful V-6 and electric motors that combine for 259 hp.
An F Sport package adds a throaty exhaust note, as well as adaptive dampers that firm up the supple ride, along with quicker steering, paddle shifters, and Sport+ to the standard drive modes.
The standard RX seats five comfortably, while slightly longer seven-seat models called the RX 350L and RX 450hL have third rows that are realistically too small for adults but okay for kids.
The base RX 350 with front-wheel drive is EPA rated at 20 mpg city, 27 highway, 23 combined, with the all-wheel-drive version getting 1 less mpg. The RX 450h hybrid gets 31/28/30 mpg. The longer seven-seat versions get 1 less mpg.
The IIHS gives the RX its Top Safety Pick rating, and the NHTSA gives the RX 350 with all-wheel drive five stars overall, with four stars for frontal crash protection. But the front-wheel-drive RX 350 and both long-wheelbase models only get four stars overall. Standard safety equipment includes automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and automatic high beams. Blind-spot monitors are optional, as are a surround-view camera system and head-up display. .
