A Step Up In ClassThe Lexus RX330

 

Dubbed the RX330, the wagon is a second generation version of a mid-sized Lexus RX300 soft-roader . The Lexus, however, boasts a full-time 4WD system with clever computer-controlled center differential plus all the equipment — safety, convenience and otherwise .Features such as rain-sensing wipers, auto-dimming heated mirrors, xenon headlamps, power front seats wide alloys with premium Michelin rubber, airbags  ABS with brake assist, stability control and electric moonroof are all standard equipment. Lashings of leather, multi-adjustable front and rear seating and plenty of timber accents mark the RX330′s territory as surely as its badgework.Under bonnet power for both models is provided by a 3.3-litre V6. Fitteded with VVT-i variable valve timing, the alloy engine delivers 172kW at 5600rpm and close to 330Nm of torque at a relatively high 3600rpm. It’ll live with standard 91RON unleaded, but feels a little quicker on the high octane stuff.It’s a smart set-up, from the fly by wire throttle all the way through, and combines traction control, Vehicle Swerve Control and Brake Assist to provide what the maker claims is a high level of dynamic safety on both sealed and unsealed roads.Clearly the RX offers a significant step up in the level of accommodation offered in this class and price range. Having spent some time in the entry-level version of BMW’s X5, it’s the standard equipment of the Lexus that impresses The RX330 is no slouch in this department but does not have the class-leading manners of the X5The front seats are top notch, offering great support and all-day comfort. The perfect driving position is achieved with little button twiddling and thanks to the memory settings, once set, a single button push away. We didn’t take advantage of the adjustable rear seating or sliding console. The latter seems more gimmick than gain.A key attractor for many drivers of this type of vehicle, vision forward from the RX is commanding. Search Lexus Cars for the car you desire.
