2010 Lexus RX350 Pricing Announced, Cheaper Than its Predecessor

More often than not, an all-new model comes to the market with a slightly higher price tag than its predecessor, but that's not the case with the 2010 Lexus RX350 that arrives at U.S. dealerships this month. The new gasoline-powered RX carries a base MSRP of $36,800 for the front-wheel drive (FWD) model and $38,200 for the all-wheel drive (AWD) version meaning that it is priced $900 lower than the outgoing RX350 that cost $37,700 and $39,100 respectively.

The 2010 RX 350 mates a revised 275-horsepower strong 3.5-liter V6 engine with an all-new six-speed Multi-Mode Automatic Transmission. The luxury SUV's standard equipment includes among other things, 10 airbags, 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels and SmartAccess keyless-entry.

2010 Lexus RX SUV Brochure Leaked into the Web!

The official Japanese brochure of the all-new 2010 Lexus RX has somehow found its way into the internet giving us our first glimpse of the luxury SUV that is slated to make its world premiere at the upcoming Los Angeles Auto Show in November with sales expected to begin in the first half of 2009.

Details are still scarce as we speak, but in what concerns the Japanese market at least, the next generation RX will be offered in two guises, the petrol-only RX350 and the petrol-hybrid RX450h.
