Lexus RX
For more than a decade, the RX has served as the reference in its category when it comes to luxury and reliability. A more modern dashboard was added during the last overhaul. The lineup includes the RX350 with a 3.5L V6 as well as the RX450h, a hybrid equipped with the same engine coupled with an electric motor that boosts output by 20 hp and slashes fuel consumption. The RX can comfortably accommodate five people.
