The RX’s available full-time all-wheel drive (AWD) with viscous limited-slip differential varies the proportion of power distributed to each wheel based upon where it is needed most. This helps provide additional traction in all types of driving situations. A robust 3.5-liter V6 engine generates a pine-blurring 270 horsepower,1 the full strength of which is managed courtesy of dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) technology. This ingenious system continually monitors engine speed and load, adjusting the intake and exhaust valves to ensure the maximum level of power is available at any given moment. The RX is also available with a sequential-shift transmission which allows the driver to manually change gears with a simple tap of the gearshift. 1 See page 16 for more information.  2008 LEXUS RX Air Suspension System Vehicle shown with available equipment.

All the airbag (“AB”) systems are Supplemental Restraint Systems. All ABs (if installed) are designed to inflate only under certain conditions and in certain types of severe collisions: frontal and knee ABs typically inflate in frontal collisions; side and side curtain ABs in side collisions; Roll-Sensing Curtain ABs at a severe tilt degree, roll or lateral G-force. In all other accidents, the ABs will not inflate. To decrease the risk of injury from an inflating AB, always wear seatbelts, sit upright in the middle of the seat as far back as possible and do not lean against the door. Do not put objects in front of an AB or around the seatback. Do not use a rearward-facing child seat in any front passenger seat. The force of an inflating AB may cause serious injury or death.
