Lexus RX Series

The RX’s available full-time all-wheel drive (AWD) with viscous limited-slip differential varies the proportion of power distributed to each wheel based upon where it is needed most. This helps provide additional traction in all types of driving situations. A robust 3.5-liter V6 engine generates a pine-blurring 270 horsepower, 1 the full strength of which is managed courtesy of dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) technology. This ingenious system continually monitors engine speed and load, adjusting the intake and exhaust valves to ensure the maximum level of power is available at any given moment. The RX is also available with a sequential-shift transmission which allows the driver to manually change gears with a simple tap of the gearshift.
