Luxury SUVs: the Lexus RX350 and Acura MDX are tops among nonhybrid models.(THE X FACTOR)(Buyers guide)
The freshened Lexus RX350, helped by a new, more-powerful engine, and the redesigned and well-rounded Acura MDX are among the best SUVs we've tested.
[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]
Virtually tied in overall score in our Ratings, they are below only the previously tested Toyota Highlander Hybrid and Lexus RX400h, the hybrid version of the RX.
At the other end of the Ratings chart, the Lincoln MKX finished at the bottom of this class despite being a new model.
Rounding out this month's group are the redesigned BMW X5 and the freshened Cadillac SRX, which earned very good scores but finished relatively low in the class.
Loaded with features such as sunroofs, navigation systems, high-end sound systems, and comfort and convenience packages, this group had prices ranging from $43,595 for the Lincoln MKX to $56,745 for the BMW X5.
