LEXUS RX 350 & RX 450h - High-tech luxury with a sporty sub-theme

摘要

ST. HELENA, CALIFORNIA - Massive sedans may be the traditional model for luxury automakers, but for Lexus such iconic duty is handled by the RX crossover series. Sold in more than 70 countries and easily Lexus' best-selling model, the RX is Lexus' most important vehicle, and certain to appear frequently in the freshen-up rotation. Such is the case with the 2010 versions of the RX 350 and its RX 450h (previously the RX 400h) hybrid counterpart. Athletic as well as luxurious, these 5-passen-ger crossovers are much improved, bristling with everything from minor tweaks to bold advances. The all-new design is a good example: every inch benefits from a tauter image, but retains the vital Lexus RX profile and proportion for immediate identification. I he look is more masculine thanks to a broader shoulder line, but is also accentuated by refined details such as new bright work around the side glass.
