Are you considering a luxury SUV as the next vehicle for you and your family? No doubt you have heard of the 2021 Lexus RX if you are. This outstanding SUV is the perfect vehicle for the casual driver who enjoys a luxury touch, which is why we highly recommend it to our customers here at DARCARS Lexus of Greenwich.
The Lexus RX is a luxury SUV with an eye-catching compact yet sleek design. Its original model was first released in 1999 and became the blueprint for all crossover designs on the market, proving why it’s won the 2021 Best Value award from Intellichoice.
Interior Space
The RX provides excellent cargo space for its size, with 16.0 cubic feet behind the second row, and this doubles to 32.6 cubic feet with the second row folded down. There is also plenty of headroom and legroom in the front and second rows to accommodate drivers of all sizes. RX L models also come with a third-row seat for smaller children.
Powertrain Performance
The RX 350 and 350L come with a 3.5-liter V-6 engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. All-wheel drive is available as an upgrade. The 450h and 450L have the same V-6 engine but have been combined with an electric motor for increased horsepower. These models are paired with a CVT automatic transmission and come standard with all-wheel drive.
Safety
The RX 350 AWD earns a spectacular five-star rating from the NHTSA, with other variants having a great four-star overall rating. All RX models equipped with triple-beam LED headlights earned the 2021 Top Safety Pick designation, ensuring your family will be safe as you drive.
All models come standard with excellent active safety and driver-assist features like forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, and automatic high beams.
Technology
All models of the RX come standard with an extensive 8.0-inch infotainment display system with Android Auto, Apple Carplay, Bluetooth, and Amazon Alexa connectivity. You can also upgrade to an even larger 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment display with built-in navigation. All models come with six USB ports throughout the inside and available upgrades like a heads-up display, a wireless charging pad, and a 360-degree view camera system. A 9-speaker audio system is standard on all models with an available 15-speaker premium upgrade.
