The second-generation Lexus RX (XU30 series) looks similar to its predecessor, but has a more dynamic design and eye-catching differences, such as a sharper front end, a powerful rear pillar, and a large rear spoiler. In the new generation, the RX has become 16 centimeters longer and 3.5 centimeters wider, the wheelbase has increased - from 2619 mm to 2715 mm, all this made it possible to make the cabin more spacious. The RX350 replaced the RX330 in 2006. The new 3.5-liter V6 provides an increase of more than 47 “forces” compared to the 3.3-liter RX 330 engine. Lexus RX 350 has become better not only in technical terms - at the same time with restyling it has been improved in many respects, eliminated the shortcomings found in cars of previous versions. In particular, comfort has been improved through the use of more effective vibration and noise absorbing materials, the transmission has been improved, etc. In 2008, a partial redesign took place - a new radiator grille and chromed external door handles, new 18-inch wheels.
In the standard version, the buyer of the Lexus RX350 receives 17-inch alloy wheels, headlight washer, xenon light, fog lights, LED rear lights, central locking with remote control, leather interior, two-way adjustable steering column, leather steering wheel with audio control, separate climate -control, CD-player with a changer for 6 disks, 8 speakers, cruise control, rain sensor, heated windshield. The front seats provide for electric adjustment (up to 10 directions) and heating, the rear - fold in parts (40:20:40) and are equipped with adjustment in the longitudinal direction and adjustment of the angle of inclination of the rear backs. At an additional cost, you could get a Performance equipment package that added 18-inch wheels, an electric rear door, an adaptive road lighting system, a backlight system when landing in the passenger compartment, an electric steering column adjustment, parking sensors, air suspension. Another package offered steering wheel and gear knob in the finish "wood-leather" and sunroof.
Just like on the RX 300 / RX 330, the Lexus RX 350 is equipped with a V6 petrol power unit. But the main difference is the significantly higher power of the new generation engine, the volume of which is 3.5 liters and which is equipped with a dual variable valve timing system Dual VVT-i, as well as a variable intake manifold length. This engine develops a power of 276 hp. at 6200 rpm and a torque of 342 Nm at 4700 rpm, which allows the RX 350 to accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in just 7.8 s (1.2 s less than the RX 300) and reach maximum speeds of 200 km / h. In addition, fuel consumption in the combined cycle of movement is only 11.2 l / 100 km. Lexus RX 350 is equipped with a 5-speed automatic transmission with sequential gear shifting, which makes it possible to feel a direct part in the process of driving.
The five-door station wagon Lexus RX 350 is a classic crossover with a supporting body. The chassis includes independent suspension of all wheels with McPherson struts such as anti-roll bars front and rear, both mounted on separate subframes. The air suspension included in the package of additional equipment raises the body by 30 mm and increases the clearance to 220 mm. On ordinary springs, as on "pneumatics" in the normal position, the ground clearance is 190 mm.
The car received high marks in crash tests - the passive safety of the Lexus RX 350 is determined by the load-bearing body with crumpled zones and a rigid passenger compartment protection frame, active head restraints, a full set of front, side airbags and curtain airbags, as well as airbags for the driver and passenger knees. In addition, the systems include cruise control, ABS, EBD, Brake Assist brake systems, directional stability system, tire pressure monitoring system. Parktronic options were optionally offered, as well as the LED brake lights and adaptive swiveling xenon headlights controlled by Intelligent AFS that appeared in the new generation. Lexus RX 350 is a car with a comfortable, spacious interior, but, as it claims to be for family use, it is not without relative drawbacks: the folded second-row seats leave a slight tilt with the level of the trunk, and the trunk itself is not so big; In addition, there are no versions with three rows of seats, which some competitors offer. At the same time, the Lexus RX 350 is in all respects better than its predecessors, the RX 300 and RX 330, due to which it has become a very popular model.
