Two new excellent and promising models of luxury cross over SUV’s are for launch in 2009 which would shake the market

The new Lexus RX 350, which goes on sale shortly, looks only mildly different from the old model, but it’s all new. New features include voice-controlled navigation, a USB connection for music devices, and a joystick mounted on the center console to control climate and audio systems. Power comes from a 275-horsepower 3.5-liter V6. Lexus expects the RX 350 with that engine to get 21 m.p.g. in highway driving.

Prices for the RX 350 will start at $36,800 for a front-drive model and $38,200 for all-wheel drive. Lexus also plans to offer a gasoline-electric hybrid model called the RX 450h.

Cadillac’s new SRX was developed to compete with the RX. The five-seat crossover has a more dynamic look than the slightly larger model it replaces.

The SRX is to be available with either a 265-horsepower 3.0-liter V6 or a 300-horsepower turbocharged 2.8-liter V6 that was developed to boost performance but keep good fuel economy. GM expects highway fuel economy in the mid-20s, which should put the SRX at or near the top of its class.

The SRX is to be available with either front- or all-wheel
