2006 Lexus RX Preview summaryImage

The RX's success continued in its eighth year of production, combining a smooth and responsive ride and fine Lexus details within a desirable SUV exterior. This was the final production year for the 330 before the RX line underwent a third makeover for 2007.

The RX 330 remained largely unchanged between 2005 and 2006, with the exception of minor interior details and extended options. New options included a 6-CD changer, dynamic laser cruise control, a rear back-up camera, rear seat entertainment system, adjustable front seat heaters, rain-sensing wipers, a towing package, roof rails and 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels. Lexus also introduced the hybrid RX 400h for 2006.

The 330 featured the same 3.3-liter V6 that powered the previous year's version, making 230 horsepower and pushing the RX from 0 to 60 mph in just under 9 seconds. Fuel economy continued to be acceptable at 19/25 mpg. While many drivers were pleased with the 5-speed transmission's smoothness at higher speeds, those who drive more in the city were disappointed with the uneven shifting in the lower gears.

Its apparent that Lexus knows that certqun year models have cracked dash-boards. I have reviewed multiple Lexus RXs between 2006 - 2010 that have hairline cracked dashboard. Why has Lexus failed to tell their customers?May 30, 2022
