Three things that the 2022 Lexus RX does better than its rivals

The Lexus RX was one of the first luxury SUVs to arrive on the market. You could say that it was a pioneer when it comes to premium sport utility vehicles and over time it has just gotten better. The 2022 Lexus RX is still very popular and there are many reasons that explain its success. The Lexus RX delivers an impressive balance of comfort, refinement, luxury, safety, driving pleasure, and even efficiency. When you combine that with the multiple versions that it offers and an available third row of seats, it is easy to see why the 2022 Lexus RX is so popular.

Here are three things that you will find in the 2022 Lexus RX lineup that allows the Lexus midsize luxury SUV to stand out from its competitors. There are many great options in this segment, but the Lexus RX will certainly exceed your expectations if comfort, dependability, and efficiency are on your list of important features.

Balancing performance and efficiency

The 2022 Lexus RX is offered in many versions. The first is powered by a 3.5 L V6 engine that delivers 295 horsepower along with 267 pound-feet of torque. This engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic and standard all-wheel drive. This engine's main selling point is that it is incredibly smooth and refined. The accelerations are linear and immediate, and the gearbox does a great job of shifting gears without getting noticed. That said, the RX also delivers confident accelerations and passing, and immediately puts the driver at ease.

The RX is also offered with a hybrid powertrain. This hybrid engine pairs a 3.5 L V6 with an electric motor and a battery for a total output of 308 horsepower. This is not something that you will see every day in this segment as there are few hybrid options available. There are some plug-in hybrid versions, but those require that you plug your vehicle every night to get the full benefits. With the 2022 Lexus RX 450h Hybrid, you will enjoy an average fuel consumption rating of 7.5 L per 100 km in the city and you don't have to plug it in. You will not find a luxury SUV that is more efficient. You can also get the hybrid engine in the three-row 2022 Lexus RX L.

Giving owners the space they need

Speaking of the 2022 Lexus RX L, it is one of the few three-row sport utility vehicles in this segment. It delivers two spacious rows up front, and a third row that is also useful. The Lexus RX L gives you an option of a more spacious interior while preserving the comfort and upscale driving experience that is inherent in the 2022 Lexus RX. Regardless of which version of the 2022 Lexus RX you buy, you will find that there is over 1,500 litres of cargo space in the back, which is perfect for an active lifestyle or a growing family. The Lexus RX is a very spacious SUV, but its owners appreciate the fact that it doesn't feel big on the road. It is actually quite nimble and quite agile despite being very practical.

Reliability and dependability

The final element that allows the 2022 Lexus RX to stand out from its competitors is its reliability. Lexus vehicles routinely rank among the top brands in the JD Power Initial Customer Satisfaction survey as well as the JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study. When it comes to luxury brands, no other automaker has a better reputation for reliability than Lexus. Luxury vehicles are known for being problematic too often, but the 2022 Lexus RX doesn't have that problem. That's why owners who own their business or who have to be on the road to head to client meetings love their RX. They know it will never cause them problems.
