The 2019 Lexus RX is at the top of its game in the midsize luxury crossover world. It’s been a top-seller for years, and it’s easy to see why. The RX is a personal favorite of our team at Lexus of Lehigh Valley. Let us tell you about some of our favorite features:
Exterior and Trims
The 2019 Lexus RX comes in six trim levels: RX 350, RX 450h, RX 350L, RX 350 F Sport, RX 450hL, and RXL 450h F Sport.
The RX’s exterior has a powerful stance that makes other crossovers pale in comparison. Angular and sculptured features give it an aggressive yet elegant aura.
On the base trim RX, you’ll get 295 horsepower, an acceleration rate of 0-60 mph in 7.7 seconds, and a highway mpg rating of 27. The hybrid RX h-series have a 516-mile estimated driving range at the base RX 450h trim level.
Interior
The RX 350L seats seven passengers, and the RX 450hL seats six. Power-folding and reclining third-row seat with a 50/50 split lets you configure the interior to fit your needs.
There’s an option to upgrade to second-row captain’s chairs to provide the second row the luxuries the first row enjoys.
Ambient lighting comes standard or is optional on all the trim levels and adds to the ambiance of the RX. Coupled with its modern and sleek bezels and instrumentation, the RX experience can’t be found anywhere else.
Technology
The Lexus RX takes crossover SUVs to the next level with its technological features.
Lexus’s Enform app suite lets you use mobile apps on the optional, large center-console display. Navigate through cities with ease, listen to music from your favorite providers, look up fuel prices — the RX’s touchscreen is essentially a second phone.
Speaking of which, your RX can connect with your phone via Bluetooth, so you can make calls and control some functions with voice commands.
A touch-free power rear door is available on most of the trim levels. No kick-activated or touch-activated doors here — just wave a hand or elbow near the Lexus emblem to open the rear for an effortless loading experience.
Safety
The Lexus Safety System comes standard with the RX and gives drivers a heightened sense of security.
It has features such as a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, which allows your RX to scan the road ahead to look for vehicles and pedestrians in its path. It will alert the driver, and then help brake if the driver does not respond. Other features include lane-departure alert with lane-keep assist, dynamic cruise control, and intelligent high beams.
Aside from its futuristic safety features, the RX has all the normal precautionary systems as well. Ten airbags protect the driver and passengers in the event of an accident.
Other safety upgrades include LED cornering fog-lamps, a backup camera, a panoramic birds-eye-view monitor, a blind-spot monitor, and more.
These are just a handful of the features the 2019 Lexus RX brings to drivers. To experience the full luxury and functionality the RX has to offer, contact Lexus of Lehigh Valley today for a test drive.
