How many cylinders are in a Lexus RX 350?

I’m intrigued by the Lexus RX 350, as I feel like I see them all around town. I’m interested in buying one myself, but I don’t want to buy something that feels totally underpowered. How many cylinders does a Lexus RX 350 have?

Ever since its debut in 2009, the Lexus RX 350 has had six cylinders courtesy of a 3.5-liter V6. These engines definitely had their advantages: they were
affordable to maintain
, provided a good amount of acceleration, and even offered up to 3,500 pounds of towing capacity with 270 to 295 horsepower.
However, in an effort for drivers to
save money on gas
, Lexus decided to change from a V6 to a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine for the 2023 model year.
Despite its smaller size, the new 2.5-liter turbo-four provides 275 horsepower, 317 pound-feet of torque, and up to 29 mpg on the highway.
