As the number one car company in Japan, the car has established an unshakable position in the global automotive field, but it has always been a little weak in the face of luxury brands such as Wo. So in 1987, Toyota re-established a high-end brand – Lexus. Later, for various reasons, this high-end brand was changed to its English literal translation -.
In today’s high-end market, models have become the "battleground" of various automakers. BMW X5, Benz ML-Class, VOLVO and other models have long been on the streets, and Lexus naturally does not miss the huge "cake" of SUVs. In order to face the continuous evolution of various competitors, Lexus also launched the more powerful RX350 on the basis of its original RX330. In 2006, the 350 became one of the best-selling luxury SUVs in the United States with 10,800 units.
● Unique shape
In terms of external dimensions, the RX350 is not the leading SUV model, with a length of 4740, a width of 1845, and a height of 1735 millimeters, respectively. However, compared with similar RVs, it is definitely large, and naturally lays a good foundation for its internal space.
The Lexus RX350 has a significant stylistic difference from its German competitors.
In terms of appearance, there is a huge stylistic difference between the Lexus RX350 and its German competitors. Compared with those German masterpieces, the RX series is more dynamic and spiritual, changing the clumsy image of traditional SUVs. The lines of the whole car are full and smart, and the body is sturdy, but not awkward. The inverted straight waterfall ghost face and sharp headlights are in line with the design style of Lexus this season. The fog lights are well integrated into the sturdy front bumper. The outward protruding wheel arches give the whole car a sense of strength. The rear of the car, which is oriented towards the slip-back design, also gives the RX more fashion sense. The sloping C-pillar and the rear triangular window combine perfectly to give the RX a very smooth side line. The translucent taillights outline the unique rear of the RX.
In addition to looking sporty, thanks to Toyota’s many years of wind tunnel testing, the RX350’s wind noise level is clearly controlled at a very low level due to the drag coefficient and aerodynamic performance of other competitors. The unique airflow-guided baseplate is derived from F1 racing technology. While reducing the impact of airflow on the body, the smooth baseplate accelerates the speed of airflow flowing away from the lower part of the body to counteract upper buoyancy and increase driving stability. In addition, the diversion system also directs two airstreams to the brakes to help the brakes dissipate heat.
● Warm and humane interior
The interior of the RX is a good example of Lexus’ ergonomic efforts. The light-colored main colors create a gentle overall style.
"Three round backlit meters feel full of technology"
For SUV models, there is naturally more attention to the front row. Located in the driver’s seat, various buttons are operated by hand. The three round backlit meters feel full of technology and exude a strong sporty atmosphere. The three-spoke steering wheel that echoes the meter feels comfortable, and the combination of leather and wood shows a luxurious atmosphere. The diameter and thickness of the wheel are very handy, and the audio-visual system and common buttons such as Bluetooth phones are integrated on it.
The seats with high line of sight support the human body in place, and the perforated leather seats fit the human body curve well. The front seats can be electrically adjusted in 8 directions, and they are all equipped with electric lumbar support, electric heating and armrests that can be retracted independently. Since there is no restriction on the C-pillar seat like an ordinary RV, the interior space of the RX350 can completely exceed that of a C-class RV. The rear seats can choose different lying angles, which will not reduce their legroom when choosing a larger lying angle. The rear occupants can lie down in the back row for a nap in great comfort.
● Exceptional power and transmission system
SUVs are not off-road vehicles, but a product of a relative balance between off-road vehicles and RVs. The reason why they are respected is because they have the good handling and comfort of RVs, as well as the passing capacity and carrying capacity that RVs cannot match. Coupled with the characteristics of good line of sight and strong safety, they are widely favored.
The RX350 is equipped with a V6 engine with a displacement of 3456 milliliters.
The RX350 is equipped with a 3456ml V6 engine, which is also a classic of Lexus and is used in many Lexus models. From the 94mm and 83mm strokes, it is not difficult to find that this engine is not designed for pure off-road, but the application of other technologies makes the engine have good output performance. In practical use, its torque performance is already excellent at more than 2500 rpm, and at 4700 rpm, it can burst out a maximum torque of 342 Nm. At 6200 rpm, it reaches a maximum of 203 kW.
