Lexus RX 350 AWD F SPORT

 How it looks when you see on the street: The Lexus RX phenomenon in certain independent school pick up lines: the Lexus mom. Basically, the whisper effect is real as multiple moms were seen driving the just right RX350, a midsize SUV that checks all the boxes on comfort, materials, and style true to its Lexus heritage. The 2023 Lexus has been redesigned with a more agro front end.

How it makes you feel when you get in: Subdued, tasteful cabin conveys comfort and spacious quarters. The head-up display, ambient lighting and a panoramic sunroof add a sense of the depth. It’s cut away the option for seven seats, but the five seats it offers are roomy for all and lend to more cargo space.

How it drives: The RX350 has solid turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder 275 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque that make for a smooth, responsive driving experience.

Best Features: Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are now on the standard features list.

How much does it cost: The RX 350 starts at $48,000.
