Overview & Reviews

For 2006, not much changes on the Lexus RX 330 other than some interior lighting revisions and the addition of a two-way power lumbar for the front-passenger seat. New SAE testing procedures drop the RX 330's horsepower rating from 230 to 223.

• Well-appointed interior, rides more like a sedan than an SUV, loaded with high-tech features, solid reputation for reliability, excellent dealer service.

• Less powerful than some of its competitors, soft ride makes for merely adequate handling in corners, no third-row seat option.

  LUV MY LEX - 2006 Lexus RX 330
  By LEXGRL - August 27 - 2:16 am

  From the time I test drove the RX330 I instantly knew this was the vehicle I wanted. So luxurious. Seats are comfortable. Smooth ride, feels safe and is best looking SUV in its class.

  RX 330 - 2006 Lexus RX 330
  By consumer - January 15 - 2:40 pm

  We bought a 2006 RX 330 in November, the mileage is over 3000 and we only went to the dealer for a oil change. Nothing is wrong and the comfort is great. The front seats can lay back flat and the back seats can recline to. There is a back up camera and sensors. There are I believe eight airbags but I did not fully count it. The GPS is great but sometimes will lose its accuracy. Very very reliable. I am waiting for the 2009 Lexus RX 350.

  Best SUV for the $ - 2006 Lexus RX 330
  By RG - January 4 - 2:06 pm

  Does not ride like an SUV, it rides like a luxury car. Very smooth and quiet, handling is responsive and the vehicle is a pleasure to drive. Very happy that we purchased the Lexus 330 AWD.

  By John Carey - October 7 - 4:40 am

  The car drives and rides like a dream. The acceleration is outstanding for a 6 cylinder engine. When starting the engine I cant tell if it is running, it is so quite. The trunk is huge. I am very impressed with the car overall.

  Luxury - 2006 Lexus RX 330
  By Diane - August 6 - 9:26 pm

  I love this car. It drives so smooth. Drives good in the snow. Seat warmers are great. Back up camera is great also. The navigation and bluetooth really are the step above luxury.

  Everything I expected...PLUS - 2006 Lexus RX 330
  By lexislady - August 6 - 4:23 am

  We sold our Rx300 1999 to our daughter and since we are retiring, wanted one final new purchase. This vehicle is everything anyone could want in an SUV. We did not have Nav on the other vehicle but do on this...have on our other vehicle so are spoiled and knew we wanted it. Back up display is great, heated seats, smooth drive on car body. No complaints...

  So glad I bought it! - 2006 Lexus RX 330
  By Nancy - May 31 - 1:33 pm

  Out of the many luxury SUVs we could have purchased, there was one that always made me look harder at those that were on the street. Everywhere we went they were all over, and some of them were over 3 years old and still looked great and have great service records on reliability, customer satisfaction etc., enough that the driver kept the vehicle and would not think of trading it in unless it was for another RX. We are so pleased that we will never chose another make of car. From the dealership to the sales person to customer service, really a wonderful experience that we hope will last throughout our ownership. Keep up the great work Lexus!

  Do I need to explain, its a Lexus.. - 2006 Lexus RX 330
  By Alienx99 - March 2 - 11:26 am

  Im a Realtor and I spend quite a bit of time in my car so I got everything I pretty much needed: GPS Navigation, Bluetooth phone. I really like the hands free phone because I can crank up the radio and it turns it down and tells me I have a call coming in without having to do anything. Easy controls on the steering wheel: stereo volume, phone, voice activated commands. Yup, you can tell it to do certain things with just your voice if youre feeling too lazy to reach a button. When people get in it, without knowing its a Lexus, I always get complimented on the smooth ride and stylish interior. What else could a girl want?

  2005 RX330 Thundercloud Specail Edition - 2006 Lexus RX 330
  By Fernando Flores - April 10 - 2:23 pm

  After much research I went with the Lexus Thundercload Special Ed. Thus far, I have been VERY pleased with the performance, style and quality of the vehicle. I was a little disappointed with a few minor interior items that came standard in less expensive cars, such as: A place to put trash. I had to buy a small trash bag and carry that with me; Insufficent driver storage places. All you get is a large center console; Two buttons to operate the moonroof (tilt/open) instead of one. But I easily overlook these when compared with all the features and style this puppy comes with like the NAV system, rear camera and Bluetooth. VERY satisfied.

  My 3rd RX - 2006 Lexus RX 330
  By Tony F - April 5 - 7:16 pm

  I have owned two RX 300s prior to purchasing the RX 330, each one has been better than the last. In between my 2000 RX 300 and I purchased the Toyota Highlander, which is a good vehicle. But, I missed the extra special treatment I received from my Lexus dealer. When I walked in the door they all remember me and welcome back into the family. Its good to be back.
