Pros Refined ride quality makes it comfortable in any kind of driving situation Excellent performance from the optional V6 engine Simple cabin layout means everything is usable at a glance Modern onboard technology keeps you connected
Cons Even the priciest trim levels don't feel very luxurious Third-row seats are now far less accommodating than in previous Acadia
Pros Denali offers real luxury Improved handling Not as thirsty Still has room for seven Loads of available active safety features
Cons New 4-cylinder struggles Not as much cargo space Denali is luxury, but is GMC? All Terrain isn't as much of an off-roader as the name suggests
The 2018 Lexus RX 350L is an all-new model.The amount of standard equipment on the RX 350L is impressive, but we recommend getting the Luxury trim level. On top of standard equipment such as tri-zone climate control, LED lighting and a power-folding third-row seat, the Luxury trim level adds heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, upgraded leather upholstery, and heated second-row seats.
PROS Impeccable cabin finished with top-quality materials and construction Advanced safety features come standard Wide cargo bay makes it easy to load luggage and groceries
CONS Optional tech interface is clever but distracting to use while driving Less overall cargo capacity than competitors Third-row space is tight for anyone other than small children
Don’t let the RX’s daring style fool you—it’s still the plush-riding crossover it’s always been, but it’s also a technological leap forward from its segment-defining predecessor. A 295-hp V-6, eight-speed automatic, and front-wheel drive are standard; all-wheel drive is optional.
Pros Quiet operation, cushy ride, comfortable for five.
Cons Alien styling, miserly cargo hold, uncomfortable for seven.
