The third-generation 2012 Lexus RX 350 is a midsize luxury SUV favoring comfort and luxury over sporty performance. Powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine delivering 275 horsepower, it uses a six-speed automatic transmission and is available in both front-wheel and all-wheel drive. There are two trims, with the key difference being the navigation system availability. For safety, it has ten standard airbags and a Safety Connect telematics system offering automatic collision notification, an emergency assist button, and stolen vehicle location services. Features include a 6 or 7-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth, and a nine-speaker sound system. Noteworthy is the hushed, plush ride and classy interior design.
