Refined Design and Powertrain Options

At the heart of the new RX350 is a 275-hp turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. While front-wheel drive is standard, all-wheel drive is available for those seeking enhanced traction. Staying true to its roots, the RX focuses on delivering a plush ride experience, despite bypassing opportunities to enhance its sporty dynamics. While enthusiasts may seek sportier alternatives, the RX remains a strong contender for luxury seekers.

0-60-MPH Acceleration

During initial drives, the RX350 with front-wheel drive is estimated to reach 60 mph in 7.0 seconds, while all-wheel drive versions may slightly improve this time to 6.8 seconds.

Fuel Economy and Efficiency

EPA ratings for the RX350 are 22 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway for front-wheel drive. The all-wheel drive variants come in at 21 mpg city and 28 mpg highway. Real-world results from our highway tests will be shared once available. For further details, the EPA's website offers comprehensive fuel economy information.

Sophisticated Interior and Cargo Space

Inside, the RX boasts a modern aesthetic with features like textured fabrics, ambient lighting, and open-pore wood trims. Exclusively a two-row setup, it promises ample cargo space for everyday tasks and trips. This aligns with Lexus's strategy, making room for the larger three-row TX model introduced previously.

Advanced Infotainment and Connectivity

Standard in every RX is a 9.8-inch infotainment touchscreen with a driver-centric design. For those seeking enhanced tech, an optional 14.0-inch screen offers Lexus's latest software, with seamless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. Optional features like navigation, a head-up display, and Mark Levinson audio enhance the technological offering.

Safety and Assistance Features

The RX is equipped with a robust suite of driver-assistance technologies. These include an automated emergency braking system that detects both pedestrians and cyclists, alongside adaptive cruise control with lane centering. These features reflect Lexus's commitment to safety, ensuring a secure driving environment. Detailed crash-test results are accessible via NHTSA and IIHS websites.

In conclusion, the 2025 Lexus RX perfects the blend of luxury and comfort. With its array of trims and thoughtful enhancements, it remains a stalwart in the luxury SUV market, catering to drivers who prioritize refinement and reliability.
