6 Summer-Ready Features That Make the 2025 RX Your Perfect Travel Companion

Summer road trips need more than just good gas mileage. You want comfort for long drives, space for all your gear, and features that make driving easier. The 2025 Lexus RX has everything you need for your summer adventures.

Here are six features that make the RX work well for summer travel.

• Panoramic Moonroof Opens Up Your World

The panoramic moonroof stretches across most of the roof. This large glass panel lets in natural light and fresh air. You can open it wide to feel connected to the outdoors while staying comfortable inside.

Your passengers will enjoy watching clouds drift by overhead. Kids can spot landmarks and wildlife from their seats. The moonroof stays quiet when open, so you can still have normal conversations.

The power sunshade blocks harsh sun when you need it. You don't have to close the glass completely - just slide the shade over to cut the glare. This keeps the open feeling while protecting everyone from UV rays.

• Three-Zone Climate Control Keeps Everyone Happy

Long summer drives test any air conditioning system. The RX's three-zone climate control solves the temperature battle. The driver, front passenger, and back seat passengers each get their own temperature controls.

No arguing about being too hot or too cold. Each person sets their own comfort level. The system automatically adjusts fan speed and airflow to maintain those temperatures throughout the cabin.

Back seat passengers have their own controls. They can cool down or warm up without affecting the front seats. This feature saves arguments and keeps everyone comfortable for hours of driving.

• All-Wheel Drive Handles Summer Weather

Summer weather changes fast. Sudden thunderstorms create slippery roads. Construction zones have loose gravel. Cottage roads can be rough and unpaved. The RX's all-wheel drive system handles all these conditions automatically.

The system watches each wheel constantly. If one wheel starts to slip, power shifts to the wheels with better grip. You don't have to think about it or push any buttons. The car adjusts on its own.

This helps when you're carrying heavy loads too. A full cargo area changes how the car handles. The all-wheel drive system compensates and keeps you stable through turns and hills.

• 838 Litres of Cargo Space Fits Your Summer Gear

Summer activities need lots of space. Camping gear, sports equipment, coolers, and luggage all have to fit somewhere. The RX gives you 838 litres of cargo space behind the back seats.

The cargo floor sits low, making it easier to load heavy items. The opening is wide and the space is square-shaped. This means you can fit gear efficiently and actually use all the space.

Need even more room? The back seats fold down with the push of a button. Now you can fit kayaks, bikes, or festival supplies. The flat floor makes loading long items much easier.

You can also fold just one side of the back seat. This gives you cargo space while still seating four people. Good for families who need both passenger space and storage.

• Safety Systems Reduce Driving Stress

Long highway drives get tiring. Your attention starts to wander after hours behind the wheel. The RX's safety systems help you stay alert and avoid accidents.

Dynamic Radar Cruise Control maintains your speed and following distance automatically. Set your speed and the car keeps a safe gap from the vehicle ahead. If traffic slows down, your RX slows down too. If traffic speeds up, your car speeds up to match your set speed.

Lane Departure Alert watches the road markings. If you start drifting out of your lane without signalling, the system alerts you. It can even provide gentle steering input to help guide you back into your lane.

The Pre-Collision System scans ahead for potential crashes. If it detects a possible collision, it warns you first. If you don't react in time, it can apply the brakes automatically to help avoid or reduce the impact.

These features work together to reduce fatigue on long drives. They handle the constant monitoring while you focus on enjoying the trip.

• Hybrid Power Saves Money and Extends Range

Gas prices make summer road trips expensive. The RX 350h hybrid cuts your fuel costs. It uses just 6.5 litres per 100 kilometres. That's much less than most luxury SUVs.

The hybrid system works automatically. You don't need to plug it in or change how you drive. The electric motor helps during acceleration and the gas engine handles highway cruising. The battery recharges itself through braking and coasting.

At low speeds, the car runs on electric power only. This makes early morning departures whisper-quiet. You won't wake the neighbours or disturb other campers. The silent operation also makes scenic drives more peaceful.

The hybrid system extends your driving range between gas stops. This means fewer interruptions during long trips. You can drive further before needing to refuel, making your travel time more efficient.

Built for Year-Round Canadian Driving

These six features work year-round, but they really shine during summer travel season. The panoramic moonroof brings the outdoors in during beautiful weather. The cargo space handles vacation gear and sports equipment. The safety systems reduce stress during heavy summer traffic.

The three-zone climate control keeps everyone comfortable regardless of outside temperature. All-wheel drive provides confidence on wet roads or gravel cottage driveways. The hybrid efficiency saves money that you can spend on activities instead of gas.

Each feature solves real problems that summer travellers face. Together, they make the RX a solid choice for Canadian road trips and adventures.

The 2025 RX addresses practical travel needs while maintaining comfort standards. These aren't convenience add-ons - they solve real problems you face on the road.
