2011 Lexus RX 350 AWD
It’s easy to hold up the RX as a symbol of what’s wrong with the Lexus brand – dull to look at, dull to drive, far too common – but as an actual vehicle it remains quite good.
It’s easy to hold up the RX as a symbol of what’s wrong with the Lexus brand — dull to look at, dull to drive, far too common — but as an actual vehicle it remains quite good. The RX exudes a sense of solidity that goes beyond its size. The interior, though dour and dark for my tastes, fits together impeccably and filters out just about all outside noise. Toyota’s 3.5-liter V-6 has to work pretty hard to hustle the RX350′s 4343 pounds, but it’s one of the most refined six-cylinders on the market, so it never sounds unpleasantly strained. I’m always surprised by how firm the steering and suspension are in this crossover. It’s not an athletic, involving machine, but neither is it a flaccid one.
