2016 Lexus RX 350, 450h debut with (literally) sharp new design - CNET
NEW YORK -- Lexus claims that it created the midsize luxury SUV segment when it debuted the original RX 300 in 1998. The automaker also claims that it still dominates that class with the current RX accounting for about 25 percent of sales within... Today, at the New York auto show , the automaker makes ready to defend its position going forward with the debut of the 2016 Lexus RX 350 and 2016 Lexus RX 450h. The new, fourth-generation models feature a substantial redesign with a new style... Similar to the recently debuted NX crossover, the 2016 RX features an angular design with crisply defined shoulders, squared-off wheel arches, and -- perhaps most obviously -- the automaker's trademark spindle front end. The RX can be had with optional adaptive suspension and an available F Sport style and handling upgrade package that includes an active stabilizer system designed to keep the SUV flat when cornering. Under the hood, both the RX and RX hybrid will be powered primarily by 3. 5-liter V-6 engines. The RX 350 uses a revised version of Toyota/Lexus' 3. 5-liter direct injected V-6 with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Around back the RX will feature a new touch-free power lift-gate that is activated by waving a hand in front of the Lexus badge. Source: www.cnet.com
