This mid-size luxury SUV has been one of the bestselling models in its class for years. Its versatility, comfort, interior luxury and excellent reliability go a long way to explaining its sales figures. The basic trim is the RX 350 powered by a 3.5L 270-hp V6. The RX 350 has only recently added a sport version, the RX 350 F. The RX 450h is a hybrid version that combines three electric motors – two in front and one in back.
