Performance: | 8.1 |
The 2018 Lexus RX 350 has decent overall performance. A standard V6 engine produces good power and high fuel economy estimates for the class, and the SUV's ride quality is comfortable, but not at all sporty, thanks to body roll and numb steering.
The Lexus RX comes with a 3.5-liter V6 engine that produces 295 horsepower. An eight-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive are standard; all-wheel drive is available. Fuel economy estimates are around 20 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway with front-wheel drive and 19/26 mpg with all-wheel drive. Those estimates are good for the class. The RX delivers good engine power and swift acceleration, while the transmission is smooth and precise in its shifts.
The Lexus RX has a smooth and comfortable ride over most surfaces, including bumps in the road. However, it's not as sporty as rivals; it provides little steering feedback and has noticeable body lean.
