2010 Lexus RX350 Boasts a Six-Speed Automatic
While it is true that the 2010 Lexus RX 350 engine options are limited to only one available motor, the new and improved 2010 Lexus RX350 3.5 Liter V6 engine is designed to please and it is unlikely that any complaints will ever be made. The 3.5 Liter V6 delivers an impressive 275 horsepower and 257 pound-feet of torque. Although the engine delivers an impressive 0 to 60 time of approximately 7.5 seconds, the fuel economy is surprisingly decent at 18 miles per gallon in the city and 25 miles per gallon on the highway. The red line has been increased slightly and will allow the engine to operate up to 6400 RPM’s.
Although lack of multiple different choices of engines might deter some prospective buyers from certain models, the 2010 Lexus RX350 3.5 Liter V6 engine is more than competent and delivers an impressive package. Most RX350s that are on the road will probably never be used for any type of towing, but the motor and transmission combination is well-equipped and designed to handle at least 3,500 pounds.
The 2010 Lexus RX350 Liter V6 engine is very similar to that found in the 2009 model, but improvements made to the exhaust and intake systems as well as minor changes to the cylinder heads have provided 5 extra horsepower and 6 extra pound-feet of torque. The five-speed automatic that was used in virtually all of the previous RX models has now been replaced and the 2010 Lexus RX350 boasts a six-speed automatic. One of the major benefits of the new changes that have been made is more power, and yet a better fuel economy is actually delivered as well.
The only drastic change that has occurred from the 2009 model to the 2010 Lexus RX350 is that the owner’s manual now suggests the use of premium unleaded fuel in the 3.5 Liter V6 engine. If lower grades will be utilized, it is necessary to use ethanol free fuel. The fuel tank is the same as the 2009 model and will accommodate 19.2 gallons, which should deliver a range of nearly 500 miles while traveling on the highway. Another significant difference is the increased weight of the 2010 model over that of the 2009 model, but the engine has proven itself more than capable of handling the extra burden with ease and the fuel economy has not suffered in the process.
