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.

  Excellent Vehicle - 2009 Lexus RX 350
  By Gill - April 28 - 4:56 am

  I was looking for a FWD and Lexus dealers on the North East do not stock FWD vehicles. Visited my daughter in Atlanta and drove a 2009 RX350 from Atlanta to NJ. The fit & finish is great. My first luxury vehicle and the ride is a real luxury, quite cabin at highway speed, plenty of power to accelrate. Good MPG and I got about 27- 28 MPG on the highway. Experience with Nalley Lexus of Roswell was even better than the vehicle itself. We have lot of old cassette tapes and love the full logic cassette deck.

  Replaced 2006 LS 430 with 2009 RX - 2009 Lexus RX 350
  By Lucca27 - April 13 - 3:53 am

  I loved my LS 430, however it was terrible to drive on the hilly and winding roads of North West CT in the winter because of its rear wheel drive. The 430 has a superb ride - the RX ride is not quite as good but better than I expected. All in all I am very happy with the RX and believe it to be a better value for my money than the LS 430.

  Competent Car - No pain entrance/exit. - 2015 Lexus RX 350
  By Sam Jenkins - April 4 - 2:32 pm

  Very comfortable, quiet ride. Nothing intrudes on my peace of mind while driving my RX350. I have owned almost a year and driven approximately 4500 miles both small town and interstate. I traded a 2016 ES350 sedan in for this SUV. Only had 2000 miles on it but just didnt please me. My lady friend has hip problems and found the sedan too low to enter and exit without pain. So, I traded down one year to the RX. The seat height is just right for the petite little lady. The RX styling is subdued and classical. It should stand up well over the years. The 2016 and 2017 Lexus front grill is outrageous in my opinion. A couple of years ago the Lexus dealer made fun of my buck tooth Acura but seems to accept the snarling Lexus LOL. A word of caution: research not only the year car you want, but also read comments a year or two on either side of the car you are thinking of buying. I find that some people dont adapt readily to the newer car in performance and appearance. They are often very critical of a newer model because they are so accustomed to the old car. But do pay particular attention to dealer experiences. Update: The RX350 is high quality in all respects: I have owned Mercedes, BMW, and Audi and nothing is better than the quality of my 2015 RX350. If you want a sports car look somewhere else, but if you want a quiet, smooth competent car that will retain resale value, this is it. I laugh at those that expect both plush, easy ride, AND sports car handling!! Come on. I am 74 and love my Lexus!!

  Love my Lexi - 2010 Lexus RX 350
  By ddsanford - April 1 - 6:13 pm

  I have always wanted a Lexus SUV. My husband finally gave in and bought me one. Whatever one I wanted. I chose the 2010 RX350. It is the best vehicle that I have ever owned. I have owned other SUVs and Crossovers but none of them measure up to the Lexus. Gas mileage is great, smooth ride, feels like Im riding on a cloud. Very satisfied with this car. It took a few days to get used to it, but Im glad I decided on this vehicle.

  bought used in Nov2010 - 2007 Lexus RX 350
  By jekcartalk - March 31 - 6:24 pm

  Wanted to drive the suv for a year before stating my opinion. Traded in a 03MDX (transmission torque converter issue @ 96K miles), and opted for a used 07LexusRX vs new Subaru Outback - $9k cheaper. Overall I am pleased with my purchase, as the car was a premium package w/Nav etc. I agree the Nav is a pain to use because of its limited ability to change while on the move (other than voice commands, which is even more frustrating and distraction when it doesnt recognize what you are saying) than being able to input by touch. Only isuue so far... rear wheel bearing hub which was replaced under warranty (70k Miles for drivetrain) which the dealer promptly notified me. So far so good!

  Sweet ride - 2008 Lexus RX 350
  By mzm - March 19 - 6:13 am

  So far I am completely 100% satisfied. The ride is smooth and the power is strong. I was looking for comfort, styling, and reliability. The Lexus has all of them and then some.

  Amazing Ride! - 2007 Lexus RX 350
  By jeff - February 23 - 2:23 pm

  What a great vehicle! I just purchased my new RX 350 a few weeks ago and this is one amazing SUV. Bought this for my wife and she loves it. No road noise compared to my Suburban. The people at the dealership were friendly and helpful. A bit pricey, but if you are looking for a reliable, luxurious, sporty but classy medium sized SUV, this new RX 350 is worth considering.

  A pleasure. - 2007 Lexus RX 350
  By Love it - February 19 - 3:26 am

  We were looking at the IS. Then switched to the ES/ GS but purchased RX 350 two months ago and love it more than when new. They have thought of almost everything. Comfy, confident, responsive (18" wheels), quiet ride allows you to sit back, relax and have fun driving. Everything you need is within reach. Navigation is a great help. Able to carry a lot - full sized sofa, small freezer, 5 people comfortably. Styling is acceptable.

  Versatility Plus - 2009 Lexus RX 350
  By rogue-1 - February 11 - 1:20 pm

  Bought an IS in March, found it too small. Received excellent trade value on it and bought this RX. Interior is much more luxurious than the IS and so is the ride. The engine is not as silky, though; feels and sounds more truck-like. Everyone loves all of the cool and innovative features. Fuel consumption is amazingly low. I averaged 24 MPG on my first tank. I like how you can fold down just the center portion of the rear seats. I am told that this is the best-selling Lexus vehicle. I can see why.

  Love my RX! - 2010 Lexus RX 350
  By BJL - February 3 - 10:16 pm

  I bought my 2010 RX350 on Halloween. I love this vehicle. I downsized from a Landcruiser and I dont miss the big truck for a second. The Lexus is so fun to drive, handles, great, has all the bells and whistles including, push button start, Nav, Bluetooth, UBS cable hookups, wood steering wheel. The cargo space is bigger than it looks. I have 2 car seats in the back and loaded up the hatchback yesterday with no problem. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I could fit in the hatchback. The Lexus handles like a dream and is super user friendly. You will get used to the mouse very quickly and will love this vehicle!
