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.

  My Third RX & Still Loving It! - 2006 Lexus RX 330
  By Lexi Luvr - January 31 - 6:30 am

  This is my third Lexus SUV and I am a very happy customer! The drive is good, the looks are good and the price is good! You cant beat the price for what you are getting. I bought 2 RXs in a row. Then decided to try another Make of SUV and what a mistake that was. So I traded it in a year later for the RX 330 and Im happy again. My passengers love it also. I have only had my SUV in for oil changes & tire rotations. There is never a problem. This SUV you can count on! The stereo system is great, the seats are comfortable and the ride is smooth. I love new cars, so I do a lot of research before making a purchase and I keep coming back to the Lexus. In my book, its top rated!

  By hmthrco - September 2 - 7:50 pm

  A real pleasure. Everything works. Even the Nav System which is difficult to master is better than the last I had. Performance is very good and handling is outstanding.

  I had recently purchased the RX330 and I am in love with this vehicle. This SUV has everything that I want. My husband has driven my car and he is really impressed as well. This is my first Lexus and I know this will not be my last.

  2004 RX330 AWD - 2006 Lexus RX 330
  By jodar96 - May 6 - 11:52 pm

  This RX is my wifes but I drive it on trips or when we are both in the car. Purchased ours in Nov 2008 with 35K miles. Had the condensation in right headlight when we bought it. While outside warranty, Lexus agreed to replace it and I paid $500 off $1800 bill!!!!! Radiator leaked. I replaced it myself but found out lexus had extended warranty that would have replaced it free. The same side hedalight had condensation again. Fixed it this time by applying silicone around the lens. It has worked perfectly. Very comfortable seats/driving position on long trips, quiet, roomy. It has aged very well. leather in seating area is top notch. Currently at 95K miles and ready to sell it.

  First SUV, Great Car - 2006 Lexus RX 330
  By NS - February 12 - 11:56 am

  I was a minivan "mom" and wanted to move away from that line. This is my first SUV and I LOVE it. It is very quiet and handles like a dream. Provides a lot of room inside also.

  Never a problem, luxury drive - 2006 Lexus RX 330
  By sscott - January 25 - 9:56 pm

  Everyone that drives my car says what a "nice ride" it is. I love its turning radius, comfort, features, visibility, styling, performance and most of all, reliability. I have had zero problems in 25 months of ownership.

  Best SUV for the money - 2006 Lexus RX 330
  By davduf - October 8 - 6:40 pm

  Consumer Reports and reading Edmunds owner reports were very helpful in making my decision to buy the RX. Hopefully, the Lexus will be reliable and pretty easy on the wallet. The Hybrid would be a fun toy but I couldnt make the math work. They make you take the NAV and back-up camera so the price is actually $6000 more than a regular well-equipped RX. ($41,171 MSRP in Socal)

  Fun for work and very safe - 2006 Lexus RX 330
  By barnacle - September 17 - 4:06 pm

  It is by far one of the most fun vehicles I have ever owned. I now have about 12000 miles on my RX 330 and I have enjoyed every mile. One day the speakers sounded funny, I brought it into service. Service replaced all the speakers due to one which was cracked. You cannot beat that feeling you have finally purchased a quality car/suv. My car/suv rides like a car and completes all of the requirements of the suvs that I have owned in the past 20 years. I would buy again.

  Good drive - 2006 Lexus RX 330
  By phil - December 27 - 8:03 pm

  Excellent vehicle. Second lexus I have purchased. Typical lexus quality overall. I drive this vehicle in some awful weather conditions in Canada and find that the electronic gear inherent in the vehicle makes for a very safe ride, quite pleased.
