Overview & Reviews

The Lexus RX 350 is a vehicle that's comfortable in its own metal. And why wouldn't it be? This midsize luxury crossover SUV has long been a consumer favorite thanks to its plush ride, spacious interior, strong reliability record and appealing high-tech features. While the RX 350 doesn't promise much in the way of driving passion, its combination of comfort and convenience is hard to top in a five-passenger luxury crossover. It also commands lofty resale values due to that sterling Lexus reputation.

Offering either front- or all-wheel drive, the RX 350 dates back to 2007, when it was introduced as a continuation of the RX 330. It has received significant upgrades in cabin technology over the years, but a generous standard features list and excellent build quality are a given with any Lexus RX 350. Unless you need the versatility of a third-row seat, this Lexus is likely to be a compelling proposition.

  Remote start is almost useless - 2010 Lexus RX 350
  By Don Skaggs - December 11 - 10:33 pm

  The remote start on my 2010 RX is poorly designed as the engine stops when the door is opened and you have to restart the engine which for all practical purposes defeats the usefulness of the remote start.

  Nice, but some really dumb designs - 2010 Lexus RX 350
  By Disappointed - December 7 - 12:33 pm

  I have had my Lexus for 9 mos. amd 9000 mi. Its a nice car but some things are terribly designed. The nav system is wonderful at a stop, but when you are moving, its useless. Even using the voice activation, it only functions with about 10% of its capability. If you are driving on the hwy and want a particular store or restaurant, you have to get off the road and find a place to park to find it. Useless while driving. The center console storage is poor. The lid doesnt raise far enough to allow easy access. There are 3 12v. power outlets, none easy to get to and none that stay on when the engine is turned off. Even though its a nice car, I wouldnt buy it again because of these faults.

  Lexus RX 350 Lover - 2015 Lexus RX 350
  By C. M. - November 17 - 12:39 am

  I absolutely LOVE this vehicle! I have wanted one for a number of years. The only thing I would love to have is the reverse camera guidelines. The mouse took a little getting used to, but I got it in a few days. The exterior and interior are gorgeous. Love that it is a 3.5L engine. Just the right amount of HP. I absolutely LOVE this SUV!!!

  Overall the Perfect Family Vehicle - 2007 Lexus RX 350
  By griffintish - October 3 - 10:56 pm

  Perfect car to get from point A to point B. I wouldnt necessarily call it "fun to drive" but it definitely has some power underneath the hood. Interior quality is very good, and the standard power lift-gate is very convenient. Only major complaint is the standard sound system, its not bad but definently not for an audiophile, and the Mark Levinson package is really pricey.

  Who allowed this electronics interface to be released??? - 2015 Lexus RX 350
  By whomp - September 26 - 2:53 pm

  Over my driving life, Ive owned more than 30 cars of many different makes and models. Ive spent my 20 year career in technology. I enjoy cars and I love tech and am tech savvy. This car, by far, has the absolute worst electronics interface Ive ever seen. I had read it was bad, but with my experience thought, how bad can it really be? Well, its awful... Im frankly dumbfounded. Toyota is known for being overly intrusive / nannyish, but this is absurd. There arent preset buttons to change the station, just steering wheel controls. It always want to show the map and overlay other info (but only for a little while). In short, it kind of ruins what is otherwise a really great car.

  Poor Design, Horrible resale value - 2008 Lexus RX 350
  By Tony - August 18 - 3:00 am

  Purchased the FWD 08 RX350 in NOV 08 with 16,000 miles it was certified pre- owned. I like all the bells and whistles that it came with, such as the telescoping steering wheel and leather seats just to name a few. I drove it from SC to TX and the drive was excellent, nice and quiet. I do not like the front design, it looks too feminine and also the so claimed re sale value is terrible. I tried to trade it in and was sadly informed that I would be 10k upside down if i traded it in with 27,400miles in excellent condition. Although it is a nice vehicle it does not hold its value.

  2007 Lexus RX350 - 2007 Lexus RX 350
  By henry121999 - August 1 - 2:09 pm

  I recently picked up a 2007 RX350 I purchased from Carmax. The SUV has 68k mikes and looked to be in good shape. Since you only have 30 days with Carmax to request repairs (I opted out of their exctended warranty), I took it to my local auto mechanic for a "once over". The mechanic found that the rack and pinion as well as the rear struts were leaking. I drove about an hour an a half back to Carmax in PA for what I thought would be a battle over the repairs. Much to my surprise, the confirmed the leaks and said they would order the parts and replace them. No problem. Hopefully that all works out.

  Solid B+ Performer - 2010 Lexus RX 350
  By Dallas owners 8/2009 - April 14 - 10:00 am

  Owners for over a year now. Great highway cruiser (frequent 2-5 hr trips); very quiet and comfortable. Front seats are superb! Very nice instrument display, especially when driving at night. Storage b/t seats is very nice idea and quite convenient. Very nice balance b/t handling and ride - I laugh every time I see discussion about "handling" and SUVs - if you want sports car handling - buy a sports car! The RX is a very good choice for those wanting comfort with a healthy dose of versatility.

  Disappointed in Louisiana - 2008 Lexus RX 350
  By Kelly B - April 1 - 9:43 am

  I traded in my 2005 4Runner for this car two weeks ago and I am so disappointed. I thought I was buying a luxury SUV, but that was not the case. There is way more road noise than I expected. I dont know if this is due to the tires or a lack of cabin insulation. The ride is average, definitely not luxurious, and do not plan on seating more than four adults comfortably. Also, the radio is terrible for a car in this price range. It crackles already at medium volume. I miss my 4Runner!

  love it but the grill has to go! - 2016 Lexus RX 350
  By Bman - February 6 - 8:55 pm

  This is my second RX as I loved my 2008. O love 90% of the 2016, its the front grill that will take me some time to get used too. it doesnt fit with the rest of the car, it looks like they stuck it on and made this huge ugly grill. Other than that I love the reat f the car, The sides and the rear look awesome. the rise is smooth and comfortable. The only other drawback is the radio controls, seems to be too complicated for doing easy functions. Hopefully Lexus will weed out these small issues and and have the best car on the market as they are close.
