We just conducted a comprehensive test of the Lexus RX300 half a year ago. At that time, its acceleration score was 9.4 seconds, which is not slow for a bulky SUV. The RX350 TV commercial has a beautiful picture, with galloping horses, which metaphorically indicates that its horsepower has been increased to 276 horses, so we measured an acceleration result of 8.2 seconds.
The vehicle was completely stationary. Our tester faced the long runway and quietly Adjust everything, gently press the accelerator to increase the revs, and the test is about to begin! I suddenly let go of the brake pedal and pushed the accelerator to the bottom at the same time - the RX350's ample torque burst out instantly. My upper body swayed as I hadn't adjusted the backrest yet, and then there was an even and continuous acceleration process. I couldn't feel how powerful it was, but 100 kilometers The speed was quickly exceeded. There is no need to adjust, the subsequent acceleration is still the same, reaching 180 kilometers per hour in 32.2 seconds. As for the distance of 1 kilometer, it covered it in less than 30 seconds. The conclusion of the acceleration test is that the 72 more horses of the RX350 than the RX300 have greatly improved its acceleration capabilities. However, the comfort of this car is still too good, so the feeling inside the car is not the same as that of the RX300. No significant difference.
The logo on the right side of the rear of the car is the only way to recognize it on the road, but it is very likely that it has gone away before you can see it clearly. The appearance of
is also the same. If you don’t look at the tail logo, no one will know that this is a 350 instead of 300. The appearance of the Lexus RX is definitely unique among SUVs. If you stare at it on the road for a while, you will feel an absorbing power. But the delicate and light style and the full and beautiful lines still make me think it is too feminine and not enough masculine. Has anyone actually taken it off-road? Anyway, I won’t, because its beauty always makes me feel pity for it.
Open the hood, and the new engine hood becomes simpler. Only the word V6 is left on the mark on it, instead of the VVT-iV620v on the RX300, which makes it look more powerful. Although it is not branded with the VVT mark, it does have dual VVT, so the new engine has a higher technical content. The daily comprehensive fuel consumption test results are very telling. It is 11.67 liters per 100 kilometers, which is more economical than the RX300, which has a displacement of 0.5 liters smaller!
The engine has been replaced with a brand new V6, with a maximum power of 276 horsepower and a maximum torque of 342 N·m. The power indicators have been significantly improved. Since it is a facelift model with a new engine, we focused the test on experiencing its power. Performance. In the acceleration test, the throttle response was actually slightly sluggish. However, the 5-speed automatic transmission with manual mode jumps smoothly and smoothly than the RX300. Due to the excellent performance of the gearbox, the maximum torque of 342 Nm was fully utilized. You must know that this value has increased by 59 Nm than before the facelift. In the end, the RX350 achieved the ideal acceleration effect.
When the tachometer rushes into the red line area and the maximum power is fully released, the gearbox can reach a speed of 65 kilometers per hour in only 1st gear. When cruising in 5th gear at a speed of 100 km/h, the tachometer shows less than 2,000 rpm. The manual mode of the transmission is also very easy to use. Along the winding mountain road uphill and downhill, the braking effect of the engine is quite obvious, and you can completely give up using the brake pedal.
html The 45-speed automatic transmission has been re-adjusted and shifts smoothly and neatly. Manual mode is a Toyota-specific setting and is quite easy to use. The navigation screen and audio have been upgraded in more detail. In fact, it is already good without upgrading.
