2015 Lexus RX 350

The Lexus RX 350 vehicle for the 2015 gives us sense of luxury and immense comfort levels, but does not come that much innovative in terms of boldness. But the Lexus has a great reputation behind it and will not throw it away in an instant by not living up to it, so the 2015 model comes back to us with various innovations in terms of looks and comforts levels that will make your ride a thousand fold better.

15 years ago the Lexus RX was one of the first luxury crossover cars that was introduced to the market. By making a sweep immediately it made a name for its self and a strong legacy that is stable even today. All the vehicles from the same segment look to the RX and use it as a benchmark so you can see how this vehicle has influenced the industry and has always set the tone for others to follow. You can see what the Lexus RX brings this time based on the provided pictures shown here.

Although in contemporary times the competition has gotten tighter and there are many vehicles that offer the same conditions and similar performance like the famed RX. But what it brings for the 2015 model year is a car that focuses more on suburban driving and performance. It is not too bold nor is it too brawn and nor should it be as its priority is to provide passenger comfort and does that by including a refined cabin. The Lexus RX is a perfect choice for those who want comfy utility vehicle and do not want to mess around with sports trims offered in the Lexus lineup.

2015 Lexus RX 350

Ever since the introduction of the third generation Lexus vehicles in 2010, there has not been a significant update to the car. This time the RX 350 will come available with certain changes that will refine the car to a slightly meaner look than before. Although there have been some updates the previous year it is not enough to say that the entire look was overhauled completely. This time the car gets a new spindle grille which with all other elements make the front side of the car gain a more menacing look. But the car will actually remain a snub-nosed blunt-shouldered vehicle combine with a dose of elegance.

Last year the exterior of the Lexus RX 350 included a redesign of the taillights and also saw the inclusion of a LED system added. This time there was no need updating the thing which was OK to begin with so the aforementioned features to the outside of the car remain and have good usefulness to the car and additionally provide a nice look. But new color schemes are an innovation for the RX 350 this time and guarantee some fan hype behind this addition.

 

Interior

The new interior look for the Lexus RX 350 will include some comfort enhancements as mentioned. The most notable ones are the innovations in the materials that were added with leather upholsterers for comfiness and contrast stitching for looks. This time we will see an updated center console that is a wonderful change from the previous ones as it is much more efficient to use. Finally, the new steering wheel was also added to the mix which conclude the previous changes and make everything work together greatly.

The car comes with a whole bag of tricks. The inside is packed with additions that keeps the reputation of Lexus RX vehicles as ones which are better equipped. A new and updated infotainment system controls everything and makes you feel you are in control, the new updated safety features give you a sense of security like no other car does, navigation with real-life traffic is one of the most important tools you will use here, and just to add the rear seat DVD entertainment system, an AC outlet behind the back seats and a Mark Levinson sound system.

 

Engine

What has been perhaps the biggest setback for the Lexus RX 350 is that its performance plays a second fiddle to its comfort levels. Although the car is pretty responsive when it comes to driving, it is not as exciting or edgy as some hoped it would be. A 3.5-liter V-6 engine that provides 275-horsepower and combined with a six-speed automatic transmission is what gives the power of the RX 350 for the 2015 model year. It comes with a standard front wheel inclusion while the all wheel is optional.

The fuel consumption for the car comes at pretty standard numbers, to say. The EPA stats stay that 32 mpg city, 28 mpg highway is what the Lexus RX 350 offers. So the numbers are pretty good and it also adds an eco-driving light that goes on when it needs to tell you that you are driving gently or rather efficiently.
Price and release date

An astounding price of 40.970 USD is the base MSRP for the Lexus RX 350 for the 2015 model year. It may look a bit steep but it is the price that you will get for a fabulous car like a Lexus is. If you want comfort and luxury the price will not present an issue. The release date is scheduled for the middle of the year so expect it to be out pretty soon.
