Lexus RX brings on an entirely new segment - the luxury crossover vehicle - when introduced fifteen years ago. And today remains what it has always been: a luxury to be invited to a rough counter, the focus is much more about life than the suburban stones and muscle. Many alternatives have emerged; but among those who still prioritize passenger comfort and refined cabin experience, the RX remains a top pick in 2015. 

While the upcoming 2015 Lexus NX takes bolder lines, 2015 Lexus RX remains true original formula; The comfortable, unpretentious utility vehicle, and has a reputation for being a trouble-free, for the excellent dealer service, and continue to hold its value convince buyers to choose the RX more showier and sporty models. On the other hand, it is part of the attraction, too; RX is a premium, but not tacky, and was understated in just the right way to appeal to those who do not want to be too flashy. 

Last year Lexus RX models refresh provide light for the first time since the third-generation model bowed in 2010 That means the replacement of a new spindle grille and look a bit more threatening in front, while the snub-nosed, blunt the shoulder purposefulness - crossed with a soft elegance - the design others remain. Changes in the past year also includes LED running lights, new rear taillights, and a few new colors, as well as a redesigned center console, new steering wheel and contrasting stitching for the leather. 

If there is a clear statement to make about the RX 350 and 450h, the performance takes second stage to comfort and luxury. While parents or empty nesters will find many good responsive RX guise, it is rarely interesting, edgy, or agile, and there is a feeling muted for all the input driving. Power comes from a 275-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 coupled to a six-speed automatic transmission; front-wheel drive is standard, with all-wheel drive an option. Even with the heavier AWD system, the RX 350 steps from the fast lane and smoothly, and shifts during passing quickly but really smooth. Hybrid models perform nearly as well - absolutely, although they managed to turn off even more from the outside world through the steering and brakes.
