2006 Lexus RX 330 Road Test Ratings

An SUV with car-like handling. While build quality and high-quality materials lead the class, its engine and styling are a bit behind the competition.

Car-like handling defines the RX's dynamics. Compared to the competition, however, the 3.3-liter V6 lags behind.

The Lexus RX rides smoothly and quietly with comfortable seats and many amenities.

Most of the interior controls are logically placed and easy to use, but the climate controls and DVD navigation utilize too many buttons.

The interior looks great and contains high-grade materials. The exterior shape, once class leading, isn't as distinctive as before.
