In March 09, 2009, Lexus Manila unveiled the RX350, the next-generation luxury SUV model to add to the sophisticated line-up of its initial offerings.

Now, the RX350 comes to Manila with a world class tag being the world’s best selling Lexus model. The crossover SUV prides itself in being able to blend the comfort of a luxury sedan with the pleasurable excitement of an SUV. What a perfect combination!

Powerful Smooth Performance

The innovative technology of the 3.5-litre V6 dual VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing-intelligent) engine delivers powerful acceleration performance. This, coupled with the intelligent 6-speed automatic transmission not only enables smooth acceleration and stable cruising performance but also contributes to a fuel efficient and smoother ride. To provide off-road drivability, an electronically-controlled Active Torque Control AWD (All Wheel Drive) system allows the apt distribution of torque in various driving terrains.

In addition, the 18” tires and robust suspension yield a high level of stability while the Multi-mode Automatic Transmission allows sporty driving with the feeling of a manual transmission.

Unique Exterior Design

Lexus’ distinctive “L-finesse” design philosophy is the foundation for all Lexus products that expresses a sleek yet powerful approach. This high-value for art and beauty is exuded through the bold and refined form of the RX350.

Because functionality is a significant part of the commanding appeal, exterior features include a moonroof with jam protection system, power door mirrors with foot area illumination, and Light Emitting Diode (LED) high-mount stop lamp. Distinct rear combination lamps also use LED for brighter and fast-reacting lights.

Subtleness is expressed in the door handles’ touch sensors for locking/ unlocking – eliminating the need of buttons. The rear spoiler also compartmentalizes both the antenna and the rear wiper, providing a clean-cut design. To compliment the smooth surfaces, the multi function rear door can be opened or closed electronically by remote or the cabin switch.

Hospitable Interior Space

The interior is filled with a list of innovative technologies, permeating the smallest details from the ample five-seater cabin space to the advanced instrument panel. The essence of comfort is evident with features such as position memory switches for driver and front passenger seats, an auxiliary outlet for audio devices, a premium 9-speaker sound system, and independent temperature controls. Intelligent functions also refine the driving experience with a multi-information display using white organic LED, a back monitor camera integrated into the rear view mirror, and an Eco Driving Indicator that shows whether the accelerator operation is fuel efficient or not. The Multi-Information Switches on the steering wheel help customize numerous vehicle settings such as options for Speed Sensitive Auto Lock, Shift-Linked Auto Lock/ Unlock, Light Sensor Sensitivity, and Interior/ Exterior Off Time Adjustment.

A New Dimension in Safety

The Lexus approach to safety is equally important with advanced systems applicable to various driving situations. Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Brake Assist System, Adaptive Front-Lighting System are some of the active safety features. On the other hand, passive safety features include dual-stage SRS driver and front passenger airbags as well as SRS knee, side and curtain shield airbags. In the event of rear-end collisions, Whiplash Injury Lessening (WIL) Concept Seats provide added support to the front occupants’ neck and upper back.
