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.

  2016: Love it or hate it! - 2016 Lexus RX 350
  By mfisch - June 13 - 2:02 am

  I traded my 2012 rx350 for the new 2016. I love the redesign! I know others have problems with the new grill. Personally I like the aggressive sporty look!different strokes for different folks. the interior is gorgeous! I opted for the bamboo interior with brown and beige leather. I have the safety package plus which includes the lane keeping, lane drift, and radar cruise control. Also have blind spot side mirrors. The optional 13" navigation display is much easier to view under all conditions. The voice command feature is greatly enhanced over my 2012. Much quieter. New 8 speed transmission makes for smoother shifting transition. Hard pressed to find any negative features of this vehicle. So if the new styling doesnt offend you, take a test ride. I think youll be impressed! Especially if you have owned an earlier model of the RX 350

  Get what you pay for... and sometimes more - 2017 Lexus RX 350
  By Fred Graham - June 12 - 10:20 am

  Given what we invested, we expected a great deal of of this vehicle. And now that weve gotten comfortable with the daily use of all the features, I can honestly say this vehicle has exceeded those expectations. Many vehicles have features that appear appealing on paper or when a sales associate describes them but turn out impractical or downright unuseful. I find myself taking advantage of nearly every feature built into this car. The safety and awareness features are perfectly designed to integrate effortlessly with normal driving habits. Ive been pleasantly surprised at how simple its been to take advantage of them. We chose an AWD model with the luxury package and Mark Levinson audio system - a set of options that added considerably to the cost. We vascillated over the decision, but Im now overjoyed with the additional features and amazing audio. We look forward to many years of reliability, safety, and comfort.

  1st SUV - 2016 Lexus RX 350
  By sandy - June 7 - 6:41 am

  I am 64" first SUV that I could fit in comfortably. Ease of getting in and out a pleasure. Have all the bells and whistles - like the 12.3 nav screen added mud guards pin stripping( outside vendor) body side moldings - like riding a luxury sedan

  A sharp SUV, NAV is excellent! - 2007 Lexus RX 350
  By K.Nolan - June 7 - 3:53 am

  I looked at several models before deciding on the RX, my first SUV. Its a stylish vehicle, and the features have been great. I drive a lot and have moved as well, so the NAV has been priceless for ensuring I never get lost. It has great features Im still discovering after several months such as being able to preview your route. I love the interior, though as a Jaguar owner, some things have been an adjustment such as the wiper system, and the fact that the seat does not retract when you get out, only the steering wheel. The rear seating is great, esp. the center console which has plenty of room for drinks and snacks for the kids, not the flimsy front of seat you find in some cars.

  Love my new car - RX 350 AWD - 2010 Lexus RX 350
  By NewLexusOwner - May 15 - 4:00 pm

  When you keep cars as long as I do, its probably more of a shock when you step into a wonderfully, comfortable car - features have changed in 10 years. I love my new car - its comfortable, got amenities beyond my expectations, and has good pickup. Everything seems to be very logically laid out, and easy to use. Its got a lot of room, and drives really smoothly. It will take me awhile to get used to the quietness...

  Options selection - 2014 Lexus RX 350
  By jimt14 - May 5 - 2:54 am

  I bought a 2014 RX350 with all wheel drive and 19 inch wheels as options, not the Sport which has a sport tuned suspension also and is not recommended here. This set up gives great handling and a quiet smooth ride. After reading about a cushy ride and lack of feel for the road my biggest surprise was just the opposite with this set up.

  Fabulous ride - 2010 Lexus RX 350
  By Tony - April 23 - 5:06 am

  Ive been driving a Mercedes ML350 which Ive loved and have honestly always disliked the soft look of the Lexus RX. Always considered it an SUV for soccer moms. However, after test driving the 2010 RX350 I was so impressed with the acceleration, smoothness and overall quietness and quality, I went back to Mercedes to test drive the 2009 ML350 and it drove like a truck in comparison. I am now a very happy owner of the 2010 RX350. Yes, it still lacks visual muscle in terms of exterior design with Lexus obviously not wanting to scare off the soccer mom fan base. The dash is somewhat confusing and not the prettiest but the mouse navigation is terrific and the ride is just plain fabulous.

  Lives up to the Lexus name! - 2011 Lexus RX 350
  By Keith - February 26 - 10:26 am

  This SUV is everything you expect in a Lexus: comfortable, quiet and reliable. A couple of the features I really like are the steering headlights and the ventilated seats. The only real disappointment is the navigation system which only allows voice access when driving, which really limits what you can do with it. For example, you cant get it to look up a POI in a given city, it will only tell you POIs near you.

  2008 Lexus RX 350 AWD, the best RX yet - 2008 Lexus RX 350
  By N.Ross - February 17 - 8:50 pm

  This is my third Lexus RX and by far the best yet. The previous were 2004, and 2005. The 2008 is smoother, quieter, faster and slightly more fuel efficient than the 330s. The transmission shifts seamlessly and the power comes on more smoothly. This car is one that can handle many needs. Its very comfortable and all the controls are easy to use. Everything works perfectly. The back-up camera and gen 5 nav systems are definitely upgrades over the 2005. Both previous RXs were very reliable with no service issues at all, and this 2008 should be the same. Has no problem in snow. Gets you where you need to go in comfort and without any worries. This is where it excels.
