| | #REDIRECT [[Lexus RX]] |
| The '''Lexus RX350''' is a [[crossover SUV]] manufactured by the [[Toyota Motor Corporation]]. It is based heavily on the [[Toyota Camry|Camry]] platform, which it shares with the [[Toyota Highlander]]. The RX350 was introduced in 1997 as the [[Toyota Harrier]] in Japan and as the RX 300 at the 1998 North American International Auto Show. It quickly became Lexus's best-selling model. It was one of the first crossover SUVs on the market and served as a model for following designs.

| |
| The second generation RX, now called the '''RX 330''' for the [[North American]] and [[Middle East]]ern markets, was introduced at the [[2003]] [[North American International Auto Show]]. The [[North American]]-market cars were initially built in [[Japan]], with production of the RX 330 started at Toyota's [[Cambridge, Ontario|Cambridge]], [[Ontario]], [[Canada]] plant in [[September]] [[2003]] (some North American RX 330/RX 350 models are still made in Japan). The '''RX 330''' is powered by a 3.3 L ''[[Toyota MZ engine|3MZ-FE]]'' [[V6]], producing 223 hp [[SAE]] and (238 ft·lbf), and is available in either front or four wheel drive. "AIRS" air-suspension is again an option on the four wheel drive models, and interestingly, a [[Mark Levinson]] sound-system is available in place of the [[JBL]] system found in the '''Harrier'''.
| |
| | |
| For [[European]] and [[Asian]] markets, the second generation RX was launched in early [[2003]], where it continues to be a '''RX 300''' and is made in [[Japan]]. Mechanical specification is more or less identical to the 3.0 L V6 '''Harrier''', with only the four wheel drive version available. Once again, air-suspension and [[Mark Levinson]] audio can be specified.
| |
| | |
| For 2007, the RX has a mid-cycle refresh consisting of a new [[Toyota_GR_engine#2GR-FE|2GR-FE]] 3.5-liter V6 instead of the older [[Toyota_MZ_engine#3MZ-FE|3MZ-FE]] 3.3-liter V6 engine, changing the vehicle's name from RX 330 to RX 350. The RX 350 will also feature an updated DVD navigation system with better graphics, voice controlled destination inputs, and a new device called "bread crumbs". Bread crumbs will enable drivers to retrace their steps.

| | |
| ==First generation (1998-2003)==
| |
| | |
| The '''RX 300''', made its debut in the United States in 1998. The only engine and drivetrain combination available was the 3.0 L ''[[Toyota MZ engine|1MZ-FE]]'' [[V6]] and either front or four wheel drive.
| |
| | |
| The first-generation '''Harrier''' continued largely unchanged until [[November]] [[2000]], when the 2.2 L [[5S-FE]] engine was replaced by the 2.4 L [[Toyota AZ engine#2AZ|2AZ-FE]] 4-cylinder engine, producing 159 hp [[JIS]] (117 kW) and 221 Nm (163 ft·lbf). Again, the new engine was offered with either front wheel drive or four wheel drive. The change in engine also meant a change in model code, which was now ACU10 for the front wheel drive version and ACU15 for the four wheel drive version. A small facelift was also performed on the '''Harrier'''. [[2000]] is also the year where the '''Lexus RX 300''' first went on sale in [[Europe]] and [[Asia]]. The distinguishing feature for those versions of the '''RX 300''' is a different rear light cluster and larger wheels. The front wheel drive version was not offered in either Europe or Asia.

| ==Worldwide==
| |
| The second generation '''Harrier''' (codename ACU30 and MCU30 for the front wheel drive models, and ACU35 and MCU35 for the four wheel drive models) was launched in [[February]] [[2003]] in [[Japan]]. It was downsized, changing its competitors to the [[BMW X3]], [[Land Rover Freelander]] and [[Infiniti]]'s new [[Infiniti FX|FX]], because the [[Lexus GX]] slotted between this SUV and the [[Lexus LX]]. Mechanical specification is largely similar to the first-generation '''Harrier''', with the same engine and drivetrain combinations available (2.4 L and 3.0 L [[V6]] with or without four wheel drive). The main difference is a new 5-speed automatic transmission with +/- shift replacing the 4-speed item in the 3.0 L V6, and the availability of "AIRS" air-suspension on the 3.0 L V6 models. A [[JBL]] sound system is an available feature.
