REFINED V6 PERFORMANCE

The RX 350 is powered by an advanced V6 that offers an additional 45 peak horsepower over the four-cylinder engine
in the Nautilus. Yet it has the same EPA estimated combined fuel economy ratings, in both front-wheel and all-wheel drive
configurations. Smooth and sophisticated, the V6 offers a more refined feel than the Lincoln’s inline-4. Compared with the Nautilus’ optional V6, the RX has better combined fuel economy.

ADVANCED DRIVER ASSISTANCE

The RX 350 comes with Lexus Safety System+2.0 as standard equipment, including All-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control. Lincoln offers a similar system, but only as part of extra cost option packages.

Organizations dedicated to consumers’ safety see the value and importance these systems provide. The 2021 Lexus RX was named “Top Safety Pick¹” by IIHS Top Safety Picks for 2021.

INFORMATION 

The RX 350 has the added convenience of standard Road Sign Assist (RSA) and available Head-Up Display (HUD). These features lighten the workload for the driver by providing useful information in an easy-to-access way. Neither of these features are available on the Lincoln Nautilus.

MAXIMUM CONNECTIVITY AND COMFORT
