Done path from the start: The 2016 Lexus RX 350 has great barbecue. If this extension is all a big black, Stephen Hawking may be called in to investigate the existence of black holes. At the same time, the new RX also has ample folds and sharp edges to show that the delegates Lexus design phase of cutting samurai sword. For midsize crossover pretty much every metamorphosis is supposed to be a little surprising.
More importantly, however, there are many substantive changes that make this crossover luxury SUV on a car and actually better than before. On the one hand, the Lexus RX 2016 increased wheelbase and overall length 350 to increase interior space for passengers, while increasing the height of the body and the thin roof line. The result is a much more elegant SUV profile and less, however, there is still plenty of room for legs and two rows of seats.
Up front, the dashboard is lower and central control stacks are angled towards the driver (which is also slightly lower), while materials and improved construction is absolutely first class. Most models RX you will find at many retailers including navigation package with a 12.3-inch screen colossal new, one of the largest found the side of the Tesla. This screen is equipped with a revised version, but still a distraction for the use of remote touch we believe require the driver's attention than it should. In general, however, information and entertainment features of the new RX has been significantly updated to meet the needs of tech-savvy buyers.
For power, the RX 350 remains on track with the 3.5-liter V6, but now more than 25 horses made (for a total of 295) and comes standard with eight-speed automatic transmission that helps stimulate a bit of fuel economy. Lexus also has tweaked the suspension for better management of the previous RX models. RX 350 F Sport, in particular, finally offering the goods, with the most obvious direction with the standard version, plus adaptive suspension that provides outstanding ride control, but still comfortable. In the end, the F Sport is more athletic competitors means as Acura MDX in dedicated performance model, but it is a helpful trip, however.
There are several reasons to think twice about the new RX. Touch remote control mentioned above is one, and the acceleration and load capacity limited modest compared to industry standards. Other options such as the BMW X5, Lincoln MKX, Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class, Volkswagen Touareg and Volvo XC90 all worth a long look, and some (including MDX) provides a third row of seats as an option. However, with a long list of improvements, the RX 350 2016 brings welcome dose of fun and modernity while preserving the comfort of recognized quality.

Interior Design
Due to the lowest position and seat the driver-oriented design of the dashboard, 2016 Lexus RX 350 is substantially more car than its predecessor. But rest assured, you still get a view of the traffic environment that makes it so popular. The overall design is visually appealing (especially in color schemes available in two colors), while the quality of materials and construction raised to the same level as most competitors upscale (and au on Acura MDX).
There is plenty of free space in the cabin though radically inclined roofline, though some may find it a little claustrophobic in comparison with some competitors (including Volvo XC90 ventilated).

The front seats in our tests seemed to support the initial operations, despite higher driver may find the sport model F Sport seats too circumference.
The load capacity is poor. By radically sloping roofline, there is no much space above the cargo deck, which means larger items tend to be measured. In addition, the seat back 40 times / 20/40 split does not end. load capacity that comes up is 18.4 cubic feet behind the second row and 56.3 cubic feet with the seats folded. Lexus has changed the way the total capacity is measured, so the figures are not directly comparable with the previous RX, but suffice to say that the new RX has a total area of less than competitors. Moreover, the fact that the MDX and XC90 has an additional line.
Another disadvantage is the electronic touch interface remotely. Its like a mini-joystick controller exceeds the annoying touchpad on the Lexus NX and RC, but the interface still requires a degree of dexterity and concentration problems to function effectively. If there is a silver lining, it is that Lexus remote touch screen is provided with good and really sharp and remarkable view of 12.3 inches.
