2016 Lexus RX 350 EXECUTIVE / ZERO ACCIDENTS / FULLY LOADED

This 2016 Lexus RX350 Executive has been designed and engineered to surprise beyond expectations – with seductive styling, inspiring innovation, and dynamic performance. The result – a luxury crossover combines the flexibility of a sport utility vehicle with the driving comfort of a luxury sedan, wrapped in an elegant and sophisticated package – luxuriously equipped with smart technology and comfort features that deliver an intuitive, worry-free experience, every time.The front view of the 2016 Lexus RX is characterized by an emboldened version of the Lexus brand’s signature spindle grille, featuring a chrome-plated border and triple L-shape-LED headlamps. Depending upon the grade, there are two types of headlights available: a compact Bi-LED headlight or an available L-shaped LED headlight accompanied by 18 individual LEDs. In the L-shaped LED headlight system, the 18 individual LEDs that surround the headlights not only act as turn signal indicators, but also illuminate sequentially from the inside section of the headlamp toward the outside when the driver activates the turn signal—a first for Lexus.The “spindle” design theme of the front of the RX also defines its rear design, providing a high level of aesthetic balance and consistency to the vehicle’s overall demeanor. The LED rear combination L-shaped taillights envelop the tailgate while wrapping forward around the rear fender sections, resulting in a powerful and wide stance. Of particular note are the blacked-out C-pillars, which provide a floating-roof effect never before seen on a Lexus product.With an interior space optimized for five passengers, the new RX’s lowered rear floor section helps provide a seating position comparable to that of the rear-seat passengers in the flagship Lexus LS luxury sedan. The new RX features ample rear cargo space – larger than in competing crossovers within the segment – with room enough to fit large items, including up to four large suitcases or multiple golf bags. New for this model year is the available touchless power back door – a Lexus first – which allows users to open the rear hatch by placing a hand near the Lexus emblem.Lexus designers and engineers gave a great deal of consideration to the layout of the redesigned center console of the RX, resulting in improvements in the usability of controls and the accessibility of cup holders and storage areas.Discerning audiophiles will enjoy the available 15-speaker Mark Levinson Premium Surround System, with its advanced Clari-Fi™ compressed music restoration technology, Green Edge™ high-efficiency conversion technology and Unity™, which brings the high-range and mid-range cone positions as close together as possible to realize a smooth connection between mid- and high-range sounds.The 3.5L direct-injected gasoline-powered V6 engine in the RX 350 and RX 350 F SPORT offers class-leading levels of performance, fuel efficiency and reduced emissions while delivering prodigious power when summoned by the driver, with smooth and highly-refined operating characteristics in normal everyday operation.To enhance breathing and fuel efficiency, Lexus engineers specified an all-new cylinder head design with reshaped intake ports and combustion chambers for added efficiency in the engine’s combustion process, D-4S fuel injection system that enables direct injection to the cylinders with high fuel pressure.To maximize torque throughout the engine’s operating range, Variable Valve Timing with intelligence Wide (VVT-iW) has been included on the intake side, while the exhaust side features VVT-i. The inclusion of VVT-iW has enabled the adoption of the Atkinson cycle to further benefit fuel economy, without sacrificing engine start-up in extremely cold conditions and during Wide Open Throttle (WOT) driving.
