LEXUSRX 2016 - 2019

　　The 2016 RX is the most important step ahead for the biggest hybrid luxury SUV from Lexus. New engines, a new transmission, and new safety features make it a very desirable vehicle. Under the RX 350's hood is an upgraded and more powerful 3.5-liter V-6 gasoline engine with direct injection, which offers 300 hp, mated to a new 8-speed automatic transmission. Based on this improved powertrain is the RX 450h's Atkinson-cycle 3.5-liter V-6. The internal combustion engine sends its power to the front wheels, while two other transverse mounted electric motors propel the rear wheels.

　　Inside there are numerous advanced innovations for the big Lexus SUV. A newly designed dashboard with repositioned trims and specially finished laser-cut ornaments are available for extra-opulence. For the driver, a large heads-up display (HUD) is in front of the driver, while the passengers can see the central information display, with a 12.3in monitor. This display is part of the infotainment system and can be accessed via a track-mouse mounted on the center console, between the driver and the right passenger.

　　Safety is a priority for Lexus and this is why the new RX is beefed-up with more systems, called Lexus Safety System +. This integrates several safety technologies, which include the Pre-Collision System (PCS) that detects sudden stops in front of the car, Lane Departure Alert (LDA), which detects and warns the driver if the car moves over the lanes without a turning signal, Dynamic Radar Cruise control, and much more other safety equipments.
