Lexus RX 350: The True Performer

By Official Website

Lexus RX 350
RX 350 is a prestigious product from Lexus, the manufacturing house of world class vehicles. This is top selling SUV which ranks no.1 among other same segment vehicles. What is outstanding about this car is the superior technology used for both the interior and exterior to stylize it and also to maximize the performance. The 2009 RX 350 is a carryover from 2008.

Dynamic Laser Cruise Control in the car uses laser technology to help monitor and maintain a pre-set following distance between your vehicle and the one traveling just ahead. To help others see your vehicle during daylight hours, it comes equipped with automatic daytime running lights. Features such as 17-inch alloy wheels and an integrated rear spoiler make this SUV more aerodynamic and aesthetically pleasing.

For easier loading and unloading, the power rear door can be raised or lowered with the touch of a button. For greater visibility during precipitation, the driver and front-seat passenger have the advantage of windows made from water-repellent front-door glass. To help avoid accidents before they happen, the available Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS) pivots the headlamps during turns to illuminate more of the road.

Rain-Sensing Wipers are a distinctive feature of the car. When this available feature's sensor detects the presence of rain on the windshield, the wiper blades are activated at the appropriate speed. A backup camera helps the driver's rear view visibility when traveling in reverse.

Other features include a rear-seat entertainment system which includes a nine-inch LCD screen and wireless headphones, bluetooth technology, satellite radio, power moon roof etc... The luxurious features of the interior include dual-zone climate control as well as a wood- and leather-trimmed steering wheel and shift knob. Eight speakers and an in-dash, six-disc CD auto-changer are included with this standard audio system.

The AWD is equipped with a standard 3.5-liter, V6, 270-horsepower engine that achieves 17-mpg in the city and 22-mpg on the highway. A 5-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard on both trims. Underneath the hood of the RX is a 24-valve, four-cam, 3.5-liter V6 engine which produces a scenery-blurring 270 horsepower at 6,200 rpm and 251 pound-feet of torque at 4,700 rpm

The RX comes standard with a five-speed automatic Electronically Controlled Transmission (ECT). By utilizing precise electronic control, the RX delivers both excellent response and smooth gear shifts. The efficiency of the RX engine is improved with dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i). The system continuously monitors the engine's speed and load, then responds by delivering optimum power for each situation.

Ventilated front disc brakes dissipate heat while they help improve braking performance and accident avoidance. In addition to the front-wheel drive (FWD) RX, we also offer an all-wheel drive (AWD) model.

At speeds over 62 mph, the vehicle automatically lowers 0.3 inches, for increased control and superior aerodynamics. For even better handling during sport driving, you can select Low mode, which lowers the vehicle 0.6 inches.

The RX utilizes Actively Safe features for better braking and control. Ventilated front disc brakes have special ducts inside to better dissipate heat, which helps improve braking performance. Additionally, the four-channel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) assists in maintaining directional control during emergency braking.
