2020 Lexus RX 350 Premium

The RX is Lexus's best-selling luxury SUV, the one that made the segment popular and still defines it for many buyers. It's a relaxed cruiser that wafts down the road, with a smooth powertrain and a hushed cabin that make long trips effortless. The ride is soft and absorbent, soaking up bumps with a plushness that's rare in this class, though the F Sport stiffens things up a bit. There's generous space for four adults and their luggage, and the rear seats fold flat to swallow bulky items when you need them to. The Premium sits above the base RX 350 with extra standard comfort features, but skips the F Sport's sharper looks and stiffer suspension. Its 3.5L V6 makes 290 horsepower and 268 lb-ft of torque, routed through a eight-speed automatic to two-wheel drive, which keeps weight down and returns 23 mpg combined.
