2019 Lexus RX 350 F Sport

The 2019 RX 350 is Lexus's midsize luxury SUV, the one most people cross-shop with the BMW X5 and Mercedes GLE. It's a smooth, quiet cruiser that glides over pavement, and the ride stays composed even on rough roads. Steering is light and easy around town, though the RX is more about comfort than carving corners. Inside, the cabin is hushed and well-built, with plush seats and a generous cargo area behind the rear seats. Stiffer suspension tuning and sportier styling set the F Sport apart from the standard RX 350, though you give up some ride comfort for the sharper look. This F Sport uses the same 3.5L V6 as other RX 350s, but with 259 horsepower sent to the front wheels through an eight-speed automatic. The F Sport's adaptive variable suspension lets you firm up the dampers in Sport mode, which tightens body control without ruining the highway ride.
