In our country, there is a Japanese car company whose new car prices are very strong. The prices are so strong that even BBA feels inferior to them. That is Lexus. The reputation of Lexus car companies in China can be said to be as good as ice and fire. Lexus's reputation on the Internet is not very good, and there are always voices of overpricing and cutting leeks. But judging from terminal sales, Lexus is very popular. In addition to the Lexus ES model, which is hard to find on the market, its new RX car is also quite popular. Today we went to the store to experience the Lexus RX model, let’s find out about it together.
First, let’s take a look at the price of this car. The manufacturer’s price is 405,000 yuan to 801,000 yuan, with no discount at all. Do you think this price is expensive? Judging from the price alone, it is indeed more expensive, but you have to know that Lexus RX is defined as a medium to large SUV. Think about how BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLC are priced. Through comparison, you can find that this Lexus RX still has a price advantage.
From the appearance design point of view, this car shows good sports talent, and the overall look is very huge. The front of the car adopts a more rounded Lexus family-style design. The air intake grille of the spin cone is still very familiar to us. The interior is filled with diamond-shaped filling material, and it is gathered toward the middle, giving a rich three-dimensional effect. In addition, the headlights still use the extremely sharp Aled light source design, and mid-to-high configuration models are equipped with matrix LED headlights. Viewed from the side, the headlights are quite slender, creating a sharper feel.
The side of the model adopts a suspended roof design, which seems to be different from the medium and large SUV we imagined. The body waistline shows a large V-shaped design, and the side shows a parametric design. The craftsmanship level is relatively high, but the wheel eyebrows are still made of black plastic plates, which lowers the sense of class. In addition, the Lexus RX adopts a sporty exterior design, so it looks less like an SUV and more like a raised sports hatchback. In terms of body data, the length, width and height of Lexus RX are 4890/1895/1710mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2790mm. Seeing this, many friends should understand that although the Lexus RX is defined as a medium-to-large SUV, its body data is not much larger than that of a mid-size SUV.
Let’s take a look at the rear design of this car. Like the front of the car, it gradually bulges back from the roof. The effect is very obvious, creating a better sense of roundness. The layering of the entire rear of the car is also very distinct. The taillight area is quite large, which is completely different from the front of the car. Of course, this must be measured from a safety perspective. In addition, it also has dual chrome-plated exhaust pipes on both sides. From the rear of the car, RX300 friends should be able to see the power system of this car.
Will the interior design of this Lexus RX surprise us? The interior design of Lexus models has always given me the feeling of being gentle and elegant. Although it is not luxurious, it is not particularly boring either. Let's take a look at the interior design. It feels like it has inherited the luxurious family atmosphere design of Lexus. The center console adopts an almost vertical design, which is actually relatively rare nowadays. Lexus liked to use this kind of design 10 years ago. Of course, the interior color scheme is still a dual-color combination of brown and black, which still looks classy enough. The steering wheel uses a leather multi-function steering wheel and is equipped with silver shift paddles. The driving computer screen is equipped with a color LCD screen and a barrel instrument panel design, and the entire series is equipped with a HUD head-up display. The central control part is equipped with an eight-inch touch LCD screen, and is equipped with a very retro quartz clock . It looks very luxurious.
In addition, the Lexus RX's gear lever still uses a relatively low-end mechanical gear lever. It is reliable and durable, but it does not have much quality. My biggest impression of the Lexus RX is that the interior design looks calm and calm, and it feels very good, and the stitching workmanship is particularly exquisite.
As for the rear space, everything seems quite satisfactory.The rear row is equipped with air-conditioning outlets, and the top model is equipped with an independent air-conditioning system, which is indeed not kind enough. But in the air purification part, Lexus RX has put a lot of effort into it, equipped with car air purifier , pm2.5 filter device and negative ion generator.
Let’s take a look at the power situation. From the nameplate, we can see that the displacement of this engine is 2.0T. This 2.0T engine has a maximum power of 231 horsepower and a peak torque of 350N·m. In fact, this Lexus RX also has a 3.5L V6 engine, but the overall price is too high, and the model name is RX450.
If the Lexus ES model also adopts this 2.0T power system and abandons the original 2.0L power system, I think sales will reach a new high. As for the gearbox, Lexus RX series is equipped with a six-speed manual gearbox. If it is a dual-engine version, it is matched with an E-CVT continuously variable gearbox, which is quite common.
Let’s look at the chassis design. I think the chassis design of this car is really uninteresting. It is equipped with a front-wheel drive and front four-wheel drive design. The front suspension is a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a double-wishbone independent suspension. This design is not thick enough for medium and large luxury SUVs, and the entry-level model uses two-wheel drive. The design, considering its price, isn't quite right either.
summary: The Lexus RX model is a car that makes people tangle and love it. The price advantage is actually quite obvious, but the overall design is quite average. Value for money, what do you think?
