2013 Lexus RX 350 Review, Performance And Picture |
2013 Lexus RX 350 Review, Performance And Picture - The RX began life as Lexus' first ever SUV, debuting back in 1998, and also spawned the RX 400h (now the RX 450h), the world's first luxury hybrid SUV, in 2005. The vehicle also carries the distinction of being the first Lexus model to be built outside of Japan when production started in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada, in 2003.
Completely redesigned not long ago, the third-generation RX 350 receives a minor cosmetic and trim level update for the latest model year while continuing to build on the feature set of its predecessors.
2013 Lexus RX 350 Review :
The flexibility of the system of European flagship RX 450h is Lexus Hybrid Drive has been improved by the addition of Sport mode, full hybrid powertrain normal complement, Eco and EV (electric only) mode drive. EV mode can now be activated by a separate switch.
Further enhancing the dynamic and sporting character of the new RX and designed to attract new customers to the model range, a new F SPORT version will be available. Expected to account for some 30% of future model range sales, the new F SPORT grade features bespoke exterior and interior design and driving dynamics technology.
With the launch of the first RX in 1998, 2013 Lexus RX 350 created the Luxury SUV segment, combining, for the first time, all the flexibility, practicality and durability of a Sports Utility Vehicle with the handling, performance, refinement and ride of a luxury sedan.
The RX was the first ever SUV to be equipped with a full hybrid powertrain in 2005. Today, after three generations, two of which have been equipped with Lexus Hybrid Drive technology, the RX remains a key model for 2013 Lexus RX 350.
Power continues to come from a 3.5-liter V6 offering 275 horsepower at 6200 rpm and 257 pound-feet of torque at 4700 rpm. Fuel economy is estimated at 18 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway for the front-wheel drive model, and drops to 24 highway for the all-wheel drive model.
The all-wheel-drive version features an Active Torque Control AWD system that optimizes torque depending on driving conditions, resulting in improved efficiency and performance.
Review RX 350 F Sport :
For the most part, the RX 350 in general has carried over bits and pieces, especially inside, from the outgoing model, but there are several unique upgrades to the F Sport edition. Changes include perforated black leather-trimmed seats with white perforation holes and white contrast stitching on the seats, center console and door armrests. There is also a new Ebony Bird’s Eye Maple trim, a black headliner, a perforated leather-wrapped steering wheel showcasing the “F” logo, and aluminum pedals.
For the exterior, styling changes include a sportier front bumper with F Sport mesh with the upper edge of the grille set lower than the upper edge of the headlamp assembly in an attempt to deliver a more aggressive look. The standard LED daytime running lights and combination rear lamps reflect the “L” design motif.
This information about 2013 Lexus RX 350 Review, Performance And Picture.This new upgrade various models of Lexus RX made its world debut at 2012 Geneva Motor Exhibition. The new RX has an exterior design of a new, more elegant and aggressive frontal. Upgraded interior offers an expanded selection of color schemes, complete new trim, new steering wheel, revised instrument binnacle and the second generation touch Remote Interface (RTI).
2013 Lexus RX 350 Performance :
F SPORT models further benefit from the lateral performance damper system, which is designed to absorb and minimise undesirable body vibrations, offer a more linear steering feel and contribute to improved ride comfort.
In lieu of conventional fixed bracing, the system features a front performance damper connecting the left and right front suspension towers, and a rear damper connecting the left and right sides of the rear lower back panel.
With a construction similar to that of a typical monotube suspension damper, the front and rear performance damper assemblies differ according to the variations in body rigidity, noise and vibration of their surroundings, optimising their ability to absorb body torsion, flexure and fine vibrations.
Their installation has reduced vehicle floor vibrations across a wide frequency range, reduced body deformation through a drop in left and right front suspension tower displacement, and even lowered audio system white noise levels.
Though difficult to analyse even using Computer Aided Design, micron-sized, minuscule vibrations manifest themselves as a slight discomfort when turning the wheel and minute deviations in vehicle behaviour during straight line acceleration. Their elimination brings a new dimension of steering response, agility and ride comfort to the premium SUV segment.
