2016 Lexus RX 350

With its refined ride, ultra-quiet and comfortable interior, and innovative amenities, the Lexus RX has enjoyed wide and perennial appeal. The car has always had an unremarkable exterior design, though, and has lagged behind in in-dash technology. That changes drastically with the 2016 model: Thanks to a radical reworking of its sheet metal, the 2016 Lexus RX 350(with Car Dvd Player) has gone from a snoozer to one of the sleekest-looking SUVs in its class. And although its Remote Touch infotainment interface isn't new, it now comes with a 12.1-inch screen when a navigation option is added. That said, the RX is still one of the least exciting vehicles in the segment when its accelerator is pushed. And though it has a retuned suspension to provide better handling, it's still built more for comfort than for carving through turns. Other standard features include 18-inch wheels, full exterior LED lighting, heated side mirrors with LED turn signals, water-repellant front door glass, an acoustic glass windshield to reduce noise, a power lift gate, keyless entry and ignition, an electronic parking brake, engine stop-start, a leather-trimmed steering wheel and shift knob, and 10-way front seats with lumbar support. Tech features include a 4.2-inch OLED instrument panel, a backup camera, the Lexus Enform Safety Connect telematics system and Enform remote app, and a nine-speaker audio system with AM/FM HD Radio, satellite radio, aux-in, and two USB ports. Options on our test vehicle include the Premium Package ($1,085) with leather-trimmed seats, power-folding outside mirrors, rain-sensing wipers, aluminum roof rails, special interior trim, driver's seat Easy Exit, and memory settings for the driver's seat, steering wheel, and side mirrors. The Cold Weather Package ($315) adds windshield wiper de-icing, auto-leveling headlamps, headlamp washers, and a fast-response cabin heater. A Navigation System package ($2,180) comes with a 12.3-inch dashboard display, voice command, the Remote Touch infotainment interface, a DVD/CD player, Lexus Enform Destinations, and a 12-speaker Lexus Premium Sound System. Individual options on our tester include $500 for blind spot detection with rear cross-traffic alert, $400 for special interior trim, $200 for a touch-free lift gate, $640 for heated and ventilated front seats, $500 for parking sensors, $1,100 for a moonroof, and $450 for a heated steering wheel. With a $940 delivery, processing, and handling fee, the total sticker price came to $51,610. What about install an Android Car Gps? Traditionally, the Lexus RX has been one of the most conservatively styled midsize SUVs, but there's nothing subtle about the new 2016 model. With its gaping spindle grille, "floating roof" design, and series of sharp creases and edges throughout the exterior, the 2016 RX 350 is easily the most distinctive and eye-catching vehicle in the segment. The new model also has a larger wheelbase and length that increases interior room for passengers, as well as a raised ride height and slimmed-down roof line that still manages to provide ample headroom and legroom for everyone inside. Interior materials, fit, and finish are the best in the segment. Like other Lexus vehicles, the Lexus RX 350 features a hybrid form of connectivity. The Lexus Enform App Suite uses a connected smartphone and companion app for access to a range of cloud-based content and local search capability. This includes apps for Pandora, Slacker, iHeartRadio, Facebook Places, Movietickets.com, OpenTable, and Yelp. There's also a separate Destination Search app, as well as Stocks, Fuel Prices, and Sports apps. As with other Lexus vehicles with Enform that we've tested, this collection of apps is one of the most comprehensive and useful available. And even if an owner rarely accesses, say, OpenTable, the Enform App Suite works well and is convenient when needed. If installing an Android Car Stereo in your car, that would be great!
