“The Lexus RX series is our most popular model in Canada – with good reason. These Canadian-built luxury vehicles combines the versatility of an SUV with the style and performance that luxury buyers demand – all backed by the best Guest experience in the industry,” said Jennifer Barron, Director of Lexus in Canada.
The RX makes an immediate impression on the street: Every feature on the body is chiselled and sharpened to enhance the RX’s stature, and to project an aura of rock-solid stability. Exterior details of note include a power moon roof, roof-mounted rear spoiler, alloy wheels, power adjustable and heated exterior mirrors with integrated signal lamps, aluminium roof rails, and full LED lighting – including headlamps, high beams, fog lamps, daytime running lights and stop lamp.
From chiselled exterior to sublime interior: open the door, and the RX welcomes guests to a realm of sublime comfort and superb craftsmanship, complete with heated and ventilated power adjustable front row seats, perforated leather seating, hand-stitched leather dash, and many elegant cabin trim options. All models feature a media centre built around a Display Audio system with USB inputs, the Auto Sound Levelizer system, integrated Sirius XM Satellite Radio, Bluetooth® connectivity and steering wheel-mounted controls.
Additional comfort and convenience amenities include dual-zone automatic climate control, power windows with auto up/down function for all windows, the Smart Key System with Push Button Start, power rear door with jam protection, 12v auxiliary power outlets for personal electronics, plenty of thoughtful in-cabin storage and lighting, and more. All models accommodate up to five adults, with a 40/20/40 split second row seat with remote release in the cargo area.
Every 2019 RX also delivers the thrill of commanding performance, with a choice of two powertrains. The RX 350 features a 295 HP 3.5L V6, coupled to an 8-speed automatic with sequential shift mode and lock-up torque converter.
All models feature the Lexus Active Torque all-wheel-drive system, which delivers the traction that only an AWD powertrain can provide, while featuring the ability to distribute torque between the front and rear wheels to maximize fuel efficiency. All models also feature the Drive Mode Select system, with three distinct modes – Normal, Eco, and Sport S – to match the RX to the driver’s mood and the terrain.
As a Lexus, the 2019 RX also offers drivers and passengers peace of mind through a comprehensive safety package – starting with Lexus Safety System +. This bundle of active safety technologies (pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, lane departure alert with lane keep assist, dynamic radar cruise control, and automatic high beam system) is now standard equipment on 98% of all new models Lexus offers in Canada.
LSS+ supports the driver’s awareness and decision-making under a variety of traffic conditions and contingencies. Other standard safety features include the Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross Traffic Alert, whiplash injury-lessening front seats, a backup camera with back guide monitor, 10 airbags, a direct tire pressure monitoring system, anti-theft system and more. There’s even an onboard first-aid kit.
