2015 Lexus RX 350 F Sport

The RX is Lexus's midsize SUV, the one most people cross-shop with the Acura MDX and the BMW X5. It's tuned for smooth, quiet cruising rather than sporty responses, so you'll glide over bumps without much fuss. Inside, the cabin is hushed and well put together, with comfortable seats and a straightforward layout that's easy to live with. Cargo space is generous for the class, and the rear seats fold nearly flat when you need to haul bigger items. The F Sport adds a sport-tuned suspension, unique 19-inch wheels, and sharper steering over the standard RX, so it feels more planted in corners. Its 3.5L V6 makes 270 horsepower and 248 lb-ft of torque, routed through a eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, which gives you confident traction in rain or light snow.
