2010 Lexus RX350 Features
The Lexus RX 350 broke new ground when it debuted back in the 1990’s. The SUV has continued to be a staple of the luxury market, with a hefty price tag and matching options throughout the vehicle. Unfortunately for Lexus, innovations seem to have stopped with the original model. The new 2009 Lexus RX 350 sees very little that differs from the previous model year. However, 2010 is the year slated for a full redesign, so if you can wait another year or so, do it.
However, if you find that you simply must purchase this year’s RX 350, you’ll need to know what you’re looking at. First, the engine remains the same. There is only a single engine and transmission pairing in the line, so you don’t have to worry about making a tough decision. The new Pebble Beach edition (with free golf clubs, no less!) offers a 3.5-liter V6 with variable valve timing with intelligence (VVT-I). The engine manages to produce 270 horsepower, which propels the RX 350 to a 0-60 time of just over 7 seconds.
The transmission is a 5-speed automatic transmission with shift logic controller for the smoothes shifting possible. The transmission engine pairing also results in quiet, understated power that will help you merge with (and pass!) all that commuter traffic on the way to work and home. The RX 350 also comes in two flavors: all-wheel drive (AWD) or front-wheel drive (FWD).
The interior is as lavishly appointed as ever. However, the luxurious materials serve a dual purpose. You’ll find incredible comfort, but you will also notice a distinct lack of road noise inside the 2010 Lexus RX 350. In addition, the smoked rear glass is a wonderful touch. You’ll also find Pebble Beach badges throughout the vehicle and aftermarket-style taillights on the new model. 18-inch wheels round out the package.
The new 2010 Lexus RX 350 also has better fuel economy than some previous models (the same as 2008); allowing drivers to enjoy an average of 20 mpg, up from 18 mpg in other models. This is a great development that may help this SUV survive the economic crunch brought on by skyrocketing fuel prices.
To sum up, the new model offers no real advancements in engine or transmission technology, but it does represent a new pinnacle of luxury for the SUV line. The Pebble Beach branding is a nice refinement for those who love golfing and the luxurious California lifestyle it implies.
Lexus rx350 is a very advance model for indian roads.because it is looks like the Subaru Tribeca resemblance from the rear three-quarter view, and Lexus has also added more of a waterfall effect to the grille a-la Lincoln MKS. The interior appears to be significantly upgraded, with blended angles and forms that look almost like a pen-stroke, along with a unique shifter sticking straight.
