The 2004 Lexus RX (specifically the RX 330 in North America) marked the beginning of the model's second generation, transitioning from the previous RX 300 to a more powerful and technologically advanced platform. It is widely regarded as a benchmark for the luxury crossover segment, blending sedan-like comfort with SUV utility. It is equipped with a 3.3L V6 engine producing 230 horsepower and 242 lb-ft of torque. It features a 5-speed automatic transmission with an available sequential shift mode. It is available in both Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) and All-Wheel Drive (AWD) configurations. It also offers an EPA-estimated 20 city / 26 highway MPG for FWD models and slightly less for AWD.
