At Lexus of Wilmington, we talk to drivers planning road trips all the time, and the question usually comes down to this: which Lexus matches the kind of trip you're taking? Here are three models, including the popular Lexus RX 350, worth a closer look.
The New Lexus RX 350: The All-Around Traveler
The new Lexus RX 350 hits a sweet spot that's hard to argue with. Its turbocharged 2.4-liter engine delivers 275 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque, meaning confident passing power without burning through your fuel budget. The cabin stays remarkably quiet at highway speeds, and Lexus Safety System+® 3.0 comes standard with adaptive cruise control and lane-centering to ease fatigue on longer drives. For couples or small families, it's the right balance of space and composure.
Lexus TX: Bring the Family (and More)
When three rows are non-negotiable, the Lexus TX steps up. With up to 97 cubic feet of cargo space (seats folded), packing for a week-long family trip becomes effortless. It also tows up to 5,000 pounds, so hauling a small trailer to the coast is well within reach. Available hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains help keep fuel stops to a minimum on those longer stretches.
Lexus GX: For the Scenic Route
What if you’d like your road trip to keep going even if the road doesn’t? The Lexus GX pairs a 349-horsepower twin-turbo V6 with full-time four-wheel drive and up to 9,096 pounds of towing capacity. Overtrail trims add serious off-road hardware for drivers who want to explore unpaved routes without sacrificing a refined cabin at the end of the day.
Find Your Road Trip Match
The right Lexus depends on how you like to travel, and all three deliver the craftsmanship that makes long drives feel effortless. The team at Lexus of Wilmington can walk you through each option and help you find the perfect fit. Stop by and let's get your next adventure sorted out.
