Once the road clears, your vehicle returns to its preset speed. Lane Tracing Assist: This system helps keep your vehicle centered in its lane using visible lane markers and preceding vehicles. Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist: This system alerts you with visual and audible cues if unintentional lane departure is detected. Steering Assist may provide gentle corrective steering if you don't take corrective action. Road Sign Assist: This feature detects certain road signs and displays them on the Multi-Information Display, keeping you informed without needing to look away from the road. Proactive Driving Assist: This innovative feature provides gentle braking and steering support to help maintain a safe following distance, reducing driver fatigue. These safety features come standard across all NX models — ensuring that you get a vehicle that prioritizes your safety on the road no matter which model or powertrain option you choose. Pricing and Recommendations With the base MSRP starting at around $40,000, depending on your choice of powertrain, a balance between cost efficiency and luxury is achievable, making it well worth exploring. Remember to consider individual preferences and budget constraints before making your final decision.

The Lexus NX 250 SUV competes in a crowded compact crossover SUV segment. Lexus offers the NX 250 in front- or all-wheel-drive configurations. However, the luxury features and premium furnishings you expect from Lexus give the NX 250 an edge over the competition. We asked our SUV design experts to review the best interior features of the NX 250 to help you appreciate its elevated cabin. more Smart Access With Push-Button Start/Stop Getting into and starting up the NX 250 has never been easier. The vehicle unlocks when you have the key fob on your person as you approach it. Slipping inside, you can start the Lexus using the start button on your console as long as you have the key fob with you. You must close the door first and depress the brake pedal before you can activate the ignition system. Interior Upholstery and Trim Lexus uses NuLuxe to upholster the NX 250's seats. This beautiful material has the look and feel of leather with unmatched durability. NuLuxe colors vary based on the vehicle configuration. However, every NX 250 features a contrasting Stippled Black interior trim on the dash, doors, and consoles. You can also upgrade to a Black Prism interior trim as part of an optional package. Seating The NX 250 seats up to five people in its spacious cabin. The driver's seat has an eight-way power adjustment with two-way power lumbar support, and the front passenger seat has an eight-way power adjustment. However, you can also upgrade the driver's seat by adding four-way lumbar support as an optional package. The front seats come standard with heating. For additional comfort, you can add ventilation to the front seats, and you also have the option to add the Lexus Memory System. With Lexus Memory, you can save multiple driver settings for the driver's seat, side mirrors, and steering wheel positions. Thematic Ambient Illumination You can personalize your NX 250's cabin with this feature to fit your mood. Thematic ambient illumination was designed to stir your emotions and be reminiscent of nature. There are selectable themes such as Waterfall, Sunset, and Rainforest that reduce stress as they accompany you on your Los Angeles commute. Climate Control System Lexus equipped the NX 250 with a dual-zone climate control system that allows you and your front passenger to set different temperatures. The climate control system also has a smog detector, an interior air filter, and an automatic recirculation mode to ensure the air inside stays cool and clean. In addition, an optional fast-response interior heater can warm the cabin faster than traditional heating systems. Steering Wheel The steering wheel comes wrapped in leather, and you can mount all your audio, cruise, and infotainment controls to ensure efficient, intuitive operations. In addition, you have the option to add heating for a more refined experience. Lexus' Touch-Screen Interface All the NX 250's in-vehicle tech runs through the 9.8-inch multimedia touch screen with Lexus One Drive Connect and Cloud Navigation built in. The multimedia system also includes Destination Assist and an in-vehicle Intelligent Assistant that responds to your requests after speaking the activation words "Hey Lexus." In addition, you can upgrade to a 14-inch multi-media touch-screen display as part of an optional package. Connectivity Features The NX 250 has Bluetooth technology and multiple USB ports in both rows to keep you and your passengers connected and charged. The cabin also has built-in Wi-Fi capability powered by AT&T. Lexus includes Wireless Apple CarPlay and Wireless Android Auto systems so you can sync your smartphone. These systems let you access your favorite apps, stream playlists, make calls, send texts, and more. The voice command system enables you to do all these using intuitive voice commands. You get a free three-month trial subscription to SiriusXM's Platinum Plan, which will enable you to enjoy the many radio, news, and sports channels broadcasting your favorites. Driver-Assist Technology Every NX 250 comes equipped with Lexus Safety System 3.0, a suite of driver-assist systems that elevate your El Monte commute and keep you safe. The suite includes a backup camera system that projects a live video from behind your NX 250. You also get the All-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with Curve Speed Management. This system enhances your standard cruise control by automatically slowing you down and speeding you up when you're driving in traffic. A Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Protection and Intersection Support works with radar and cameras to scan the way ahead for potential problems. For example, the system can detect cars that have stopped early or are turning across your path as well as pedestrians crossing the road. When the system identifies a possible collision, it alerts you with visual and audio cues. If you fail to react, the system engages automatic emergency brake support. Lexus installed its Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist system to prevent you from straying from your lane. If the system detects an unintentional drift, it alerts you and can provide gentle steering correction to return you to your lane. In addition, a Lane Tracing Assist system uses similar tech to track your NX 250 within marked lanes and provide subtle steering input to keep you centered. Another convenient technology in the suite is Road Sign Assist. This system identifies road signs such as speed limit, stop, yield, and more. Then, it projects the sign to your multimedia display for easy recognition. The Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert system gives you eyes where you usually can't see. Sensors mounted on either side and behind your NX 250 scan for vehicles entering your blind spots. The system alerts you if you attempt a lane-changing maneuver with a car present. It works the same as you drive in reverse, scanning for cars or pedestrians crossing behind you. If you fail to respond to alerts, the system will automatically brake or steer you back into your lane.

The 2023 Lexus RZ 450e electric vehicle is one of the most well-equipped and capable sport utility vehicles the company has to offer. It comes with a set of incredibly cool features that make every drive an enjoyable experience. Read on to see what this impressive E-SUV has to offer. more The 2023 Lexus RZ 450e electric vehicle is one of the most well-equipped and capable sport utility vehicles the company has to offer. It comes with a set of incredibly cool features that make every drive an enjoyable experience. Read on to see what this impressive E-SUV has to offer. Trim Levels and Core Features The 2023 Lexus RZ 450e is available in two trim levels: Premium and Luxury. Both are all-wheel drive, providing greater handling potential at the cost of a small amount of power. Both trims include a 65.6 kWh battery, a pair of electric motors, and a one-speed, continuously variable direct-drive transmission. This type of transmission enhances low-gear operational efficiency, provides a quieter driving experience, runs at lower engine rotations per minute, enhances energy economy, and increases shift responsiveness. It's lighter and simpler in design than a standard transmission, making it easy for technicians and knowledgeable drivers alike to work on. This core combination provides 308 horsepower and 321 lb-ft of torque. Exterior Styling, Features, and Options This electric SUV has sleek and futuristic-looking exterior styling features. It's got an A-shaped body panel with a serrated edge in place of the traditional grille, eye-catching headlights with daytime running lights, a slim but sturdy bumper, and flowing body lines along the flanks and hood. It's available in a single paint shade, such as Eminent White, Cloudburst Gray, Ether (blue), Iridium (bluish gray), or Caviar, or you can opt for a two-tone version in Ether and Black or Cloudburst Gray and Black. These options have Black on the upper body and the other color on the lower body. Standard exterior features for the 2023 Lexus RZ 450e include 18-inch five-spoke alloy wheels with a machined dark metallic gray finish, deeply tinted glass, LED brake lights, first- and second-row power sunroofs with sunshades, automatic auto-leveling projector-beam headlights, laminated glass, a power rear cargo gate, and heated auto-dimming power-folding side-view mirrors with turn signal indicators. An upgrade to 20-inch premium alloy wheels with a machined black finish is available with both trim levels. The wheel upgrade and the accompanying Supermoto brand tires are the only available options for the exterior. Interior Layout, Features, and Options The interior layout and design of the 2023 Lexus RZ 450e are particularly ergonomic and user-friendly. The steering wheel has a unique pseudo-rectangular shape and incorporates a multitude of controls, including audio and cruise control interfaces. The driver's gauge cluster is compact and digital, allowing for more button-based functionality on the left side of the console than is found in most vehicles. The large touch-screen infotainment center measures 14 inches and offers you wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay programming. The Premium trim comes with a 10-speaker sound system, while the Luxury is available with a 13-speaker Mark Levinson set. Standard tech features include voice-activated radio, distance-pacing stop-and-go cruise control, dual-zone automatic air conditioning, auto-locking doors, push-button start, and Wi-Fi Connect mobile hotspot access. To make your El Monte commute more comfortable, the RZ comes with heated and ventilated bucket seats, a heated leatherette steering wheel, and NuLuxe synthetic leather upholstery. The Luxury trim level is available with memory settings for the door mirrors and steering wheel, one-touch up-and-down power windows, a head-up display, and semi-aniline simulated suede interior trim. Both trims of the 2023 Lexus RZ 450e come with a 10-year trial of the Safety Connect tracker system, which allows drivers to keep tabs on their vehicle at all times through a handy app. It also allows authorities to swiftly find and return a Lexus that has been taken without permission from the owner. Our Comprehensive Performance Review Most all-wheel-drive systems offer superior functionality in terms of handling and cornering, but the 2023 RZ 450e is ahead of its time in both these areas of performance. This is because its motors are 100% variable in their power distribution and they aren't mechanically connected to each other. This RZ 450e can distribute as much power as needed to each individual wheel, which greatly improves traction. The steer-by-wire system improves the vehicle's handling even further. This E-SUV can travel 225 miles on a single charge while riding on the standard tire setup. The 2023 Lexus RZ 450e can go from zero to 60 mph in an impressive 4.8 seconds. This soundly defeats most of its in-class competition, especially given its horsepower and torque ratings. Other EVs have to crank out a good bit more of both to make the same time. The unified multi-link strut suspension system gives the RZ 450e a great deal of flexibility for an on-road vehicle. This kind of setup is generally reserved for off-road vehicles geared toward activities such as desert racing. High-Tech Safety Features To Lexus' credit, the only optional safety features on this E-SUV are parking related: cross-traffic alert systems and parking sensors. Everything else is standard on both trim levels because this automaker believes that no one should be less secure because they didn't go with a higher trim level. Other safety features on the RZ include a panoramic camera system, a driver monitoring and alert system, a blind-spot monitoring system, frontal collision mitigation with automatic emergency braking, and a 10-year trial of Safety Connect Emergency SOS. Further high-tech safety additions include lane departure alert, active lane-keeping steering assistance, an aerial-view camera system, ABS driveline traction control, rear child safety locks, and a tire-specific low-pressure warning system. The onboard air bag cluster includes first- and second-row curtain, dual-stage driver and front passenger, knee, and seat-mounted side units. The 2023 Lexus RZ 450e will come to a complete stop on its own if it detects that the driver is incapacitated or otherwise unresponsive, so this is an ideal E-SUV for elderly drivers or those with certain health conditions who want an extra layer of protection.

The 2023 Lexus RX is a fully redesigned luxury SUV that's sure to stand out while you're cruising around town. Its sleek body, comfortable interior, and strong powertrain options make for an enjoyable ride. This Lexus crossover is also well equipped to tow a decent-sized trailer thanks to its towing limit of 3,500 pounds. If you'd like to know more about the towing abilities of this Lexus, feel free to contact our vehicle experts here at Longo Lexus to have your questions answered. more 2023 Lexus RX 350 Towing Capacity 2023 Lexus RX With its superb towing capacity of 3,500 pounds, the gas-powered RX 350 is a good choice for pulling a trailer out of El Monte for weekend adventures. Its towing abilities are adequate for hauling a 20-foot aluminum boat or two motorcycles. The Lexus RX 350 would also have no trouble handling a pop-up camper at the rear. It's important to keep in mind that when you're determining how much your Lexus can tow, you need to calculate the trailer's weight in addition to the load it's carrying. Otherwise, you can risk damaging your vehicle. Getting the best out of your Lexus' towing capacity will prove much easier if you equip your vehicle correctly. Going for the optional all-wheel-drive (AWD) setup is better than sticking with front-wheel drive since AWD models have a higher towing capacity and offer more stability on the road. You'll also want to ensure that you're not carrying too much extra gear in the cabin, such as bags or suitcases that could weigh down your Lexus and make the towing job that much harder. You should also remember that your towing capacity can be influenced by how much weight you're carrying in your cabin. If you have a full load of passengers, you'll have a harder time pulling a load at the rear than if you're traveling with an empty second row. Get Your New Lexus RX Today! Lexus RX Towing Features You may want to add some of the optional towing features to your Lexus to make the most of its performance. The RX Towing package includes several essential add-ons, such as a heavy-duty radiator, cooling fan, and engine and transmission oil coolers. There's also a drive mode select feature to help improve your towing in different conditions, such as on wet roads or gravel. Several driver safety features make it much more straightforward to tow something behind your Lexus. The forward collision warning with cyclist and pedestrian detection can alert you early on about dangers up ahead. In case of sudden situations, the automatic emergency braking can bring your crossover to a swift stop, even when towing a load. With the standard automatic high-beam headlights, you'll have no trouble seeing the road up ahead, whatever the weather may be while you're driving with extra gear behind you. You can add a surround-view parking camera to the RX 350. This feature provides an aerial view of your vehicle, which will come in handy if you need to maneuver in or out of a parking spot while linked to a trailer. Lexus RX Engine and Performance The RX 350's solid towing performance is made possible by the turbocharged four-cylinder engine that leads this Lexus powertrain. It's a 2.4-liter unit capable of churning out 275 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission takes care of the gear shifts for you. This powertrain achieves up to 29 mpg on the highway and 22 mpg on city roads, making it reasonably fuel-efficient. You can opt for an even more fuel-efficient RX 350 by choosing a Lexus with a hybrid powertrain. Your first option in the 2023 lineup is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with an electric motor. It can generate 246 horsepower and 233 lb-ft of torque. For some extra power, you can get a hybrid version of the 2.4-liter turbocharged engine. This powertrain manages to generate 367 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. This powertrain is much better suited for towing than the smaller hybrid setup, which is ideal if you mainly use your Lexus for running errands and getting about El Monte. RX Trim Levels You can choose between five trims in the RX 350's lineup: the Standard, Premium, Premium Plus, Luxury, and F Sport Handling. With such a broad choice, you've got the option of towing your trailer while sitting in an upscale cabin or relaxing in truly luxurious surroundings. The base price for the RX 350 Standard starts at around $48,000. The range-topping trim has a significantly higher price tag. The Standard trim features synthetic leather upholstery, heated and power-adjustable front seats, and a 9.8-inch infotainment screen. There's also no shortage of sound quality and connectivity options thanks to a 12-speaker stereo, six USB ports, and Bluetooth. Stepping up to the Premium trim gets you ventilated front seats, a navigation system, and wireless device charging. You also have the option to add a 14-inch touch screen, a heated steering wheel, and a hands-free power liftgate. This is also the first trim to offer you the option of a surround-view parking camera. The Premium Plus trim adds genuine leather seating, as well as a larger touch screen and a navigation system. Optional upgrades include a 21-speaker sound system and heated and ventilated second-row seats so your backseat passengers can ride in comfort. The top-tier Luxury trim gains semi-aniline leather upholstery, extra power adjustments for the front seats, and 21-inch wheels. These larger wheels may make things a little easier when you're towing a trailer for your weekend getaway. As you can see, the all-new 2023 Lexus RX 350 offers many benefits for drivers who need a crossover that can tow.

If you want to experience some of the best tech features available today, we strongly recommend exploring the new 2023 Lexus RX. more Tech Features of the 2023 Lexus RX Below are some of the tech features you can find in the 2023 Lexus RX: 2023 Lexus RX image via Lexus All-Electric Powertrain Perhaps the biggest tech feature of the 2023 Lexus RX is its all-electric powertrain. This powertrain, which Lexus calls “Direct4,” comprises two electric motors that combine to produce 308 horsepower. It delivers brisk acceleration while you're driving, whether you're cruising down the highway or navigating your way through windy suburban streets. It also contains a 65.6 kWh battery, which should give you around 220 miles of driving range. DC Fast Charging The 2023 Lexus RX comes with DC fast charging capabilities to keep the all-electric powertrain running. On most days, you'll likely make use of an at-home charging setup, which will charge your battery slowly over a few hours, typically at night when you're done with your vehicle for the day. However, there may be situations when you need to charge your vehicle while you're on the go, such as on a long trip, much like you would stop for gas. When these situations arise, you'll be glad you have the DC fast charging capability on your 2023 Lexus RX. This setup will quickly charge your vehicle's battery, restoring a large percentage of its capacity in just a few minutes. Many public charging stations are available that can connect to your Lexus's charging port, so you won't have to worry about running out of battery while you're on the go. Infotainment System One of the first tech features you'll notice inside the 2023 Lexus RX is the large 14-inch infotainment display. This touch-screen system makes it easy to control many of your vehicle's settings, including your preferred media sources. For example, you can easily connect your smartphone thanks to Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integrations, then stream music, podcasts, or audiobooks through your favorite apps. You can also open your preferred navigation app and have the map appear on the large screen. Finally, to make things a little safer, it's possible to control the infotainment system using only voice commands, so you can keep your hands on the wheel. Digital Gauge Cluster In front of the driver's seat is a digital gauge cluster. This gauge cluster displays important information about your vehicle and driving conditions, such as your current speed, the temperature outside, and any alerts that you need about your vehicle. There are even some customization options, so you can select what information appears in the digital gauge cluster. By making this cluster all-digital, it becomes easier to read and adds to the modern design of the 2023 Lexus RX's interior. Digital Key Another great tech feature of the 2023 Lexus RX is the digital key. With the digital key, your smartphone becomes a key fob for your Lexus. This means you can unlock your RX and start the engine just by having your phone in your pocket. On top of that, you can lock your RX from anywhere as long as you have your phone. For example, if you forget to lock your RX after you walk away, you can easily open the app and lock it. With the digital key, you can also share access to your RX with others. You simply need to open the app and grant someone else permission to use your RX. Now your family and friends can make use of your Lexus without you having to pass the keys around. This is also helpful in situations such as when you leave your Lexus at home during a vacation, and you need a neighbor to move your vehicle for some reason. It's just one more way the tech features of the 2023 Lexus RX provide added convenience. Safety Features Some of the 2023 Lexus RX's best tech features are its safety features. There are numerous safety features inside the RX, each designed to help keep you safe on the road. Some of the standard safety features include automated emergency braking, pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, a lane-keep assist feature, and adaptive cruise control. With all these features, your RX continually monitors the area around you and looks out for potential signs of danger. Head-Up Display One of the best ways to stay safe while driving is to keep your eyes on the road. Unfortunately, we sometimes need to look at things in our vehicles, which can momentarily take our eyes away from the road. The head-up display in the 2023 Lexus RX is there to help reduce some of these distractions. The digital display projects important information directly onto the windshield, allowing you to read it without taking your eyes off the road. For example, you can see your current speed and driving directions, all without having to look at your phone or the infotainment display. Advanced Park Finally, there's the Advanced Park system. This system helps you park your RX in various spots. Whether you're looking to parallel park or pull into a perpendicular spot, the Advanced Park system scans the surrounding area and then carefully navigates your RX into the spot. No more will you have to spend a long time trying to squeeze yourself into that tight spot on the street. Then, when you're ready to leave, the Advanced Park system can monitor oncoming traffic and help you leave the spot safely. Experience the Tech Features for Yourself These tech features are just one reason we're sure you'll love the 2023 Lexus RX.
