Pedro Arrais review: Lexus RX a leader of the pack - the best electric toothbrush 2016

In the mid-size luxury SUV market, the redesigned 2016 Lexus RX 450 h proves that people can also eat cakes.
When RX came to North America more than 15 years ago, it was one of the first luxury SUVs on the market, and the fascinating blend of luxury and versatility spawned a generation of competitors.
Despite some very powerful challenges over the years, RX has been able to take the lead most of the time.
So far, it's also the best of the brand --Sell vehicles.
The 2016 model, the fourth generation, is built in the crowd of vehicles-
Delightful appeal with the new edgier, rakish design, designed to make it look younger-
There is no doubt that this is to attract a wider market population.
Sharp lines, creases and angles eliminate many soft and smooth lines from some of its competitors.
The most striking statement in the whole design is the hourglass-
The shape of the grill, flashing dramatically at the bottom, gives RX an expression similar to the predator who is about to devour prey.
Is it a bit overdone?
Maybe, but no one will say it's boring or uninspired.
This side may be more restrained.
The only design instructions are Black C-
Give RX a pillar with a floating roof look.
The front rake behind is not as obvious as Mercedes-Benz-
I saw the Mercedes-Benz GLE coupe a few weeks ago, but it's not Square either.
People who are obsessed with big wheels may be 20-
My tester is equipped with inch wheels.
There are two models of RX, gasoline-
Power 350 and gasoline-
Electric Hybrid 450 h
I'm driving the latter.
If the Lexus RX 350 is a cake and the 450 h is a icing --
Because icing is fuel economy.
The hybrid system combines the power of 3. 5-litre Atkinson-cycle V-
6 with two motors (
One vehicle at each end).
The net horsepower of the two cars is 308 horsepower, which is very typical for this type of car.
But it's fuel.
7 economic figures.
7 liters/100 km in the city, 8.
On the highway.
The owner of the RX meehs can take luxury content in their knowledge of what they save on the pump (
Regular refueling is also required (toboot).
The RX gas engine will not only turn off when parking, but when the car is set to Eco mode, the vehicle will actually return to full electric vehicle operation under certain operating conditions in the city.
But with RX in motion mode, the properties of the entire vehicle change.
It becomes a predator looking for an empty highway, or a winding remote road.
Keep in mind that the regular RX 350 is equipped with eight
The speed is automatic and the 450 h is equipped with a continuous variable transmission to improve the economy.
My tester is equipped with an F motion performance pack which includes 15-
Speaker audio system, electric folding rear seats and a range of items with the F Sport logo.
For those who participate in the "sport" in the sport, this is the final option --
Public utilities are serious.
RX's cabin follows the theme of the current Lexus configuration-
Luxury is not just a little aggressive.
Turn the knob and change between Eco, Normal, motion or motion, and the background color on the tachometer/digital speedometer will also change.
My car has an impressive width of 12-
The inch center screen at the top of the dashboard.
It is too wide and usually operates as a split screen with two different sets of information displayed at the same time.
The controls are a bit less impressive.
The screen is a bit too far to touch.
Instead, you have to use the mouse
Move around like a cursor.
While it may be easy to use when the vehicle is still, it is futile to try to click the command while moving.
I think voice commands can be restored.
It seems to be to make up for the lack of colleagues, and another feature on the car made my chin drop.
My tester brought one.
Circular camera systems are common at this price point.
While Mercedes-Benz GLE has the best splicing software and the highest
Defining the camera, Lexus is impressed with the starting sequence featuring the moving montage of the vehicle. The 10-
The second video clip shows RX on the spot and a mobile bird's eye view of the environment around the vehicle. The round-
The vehicle view can also be used when the vehicle is traveling about 10 km/h forward.
I found the deeply carved seats to be supportive, but my wife didn't find them as comfortable as the luxury car she wanted.
There is a lot of head and leg space in front and back, there is a big, full
Panoramic sunroof for plenty of light.
The F sports kit includes a power reclining rear seat with a remote control in the cargo area of 60/40.
RX is equipped with the usual electronic nanny roster, such as lane-
Maintain assist, collision warning, blind spot warning and rear crossingtraffic alert.
The market was much more crowded than when RX first landed on our coast.
Changed a lot.
RX is now made in Canada and this is the only country with this honor except Japan.
Gas prices in Canada have peaked at nearly $1.
50 down to where it is now.
While luxury parts can be copied, the fuel efficiency of the RX 450 h is currently the benchmark for competitors to strive.
Before that, the owners of 450 h could enjoy their cakes every day.
