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.

  Gold standard of SUVs - 2008 Lexus RX 350
  By insuranceguy - July 20 - 5:23 pm

  I am on the road a lot and appreciate how quiet this vehicle really is. The cabin is so quiet I actually look forward to talking on the cell phone over the cars blue tooth. I have owned Hondas and Toyotas in the past so appreciate the level of build quality that went into the RX. I have near 15k and not one single problem. I average around 21 in the city, 27 on the highway. In summary, Lexus RX 350 is the gold standard of SUVs.

  Even Better in 2008 - 2008 Lexus RX 350
  By Sean - July 3 - 1:16 am

  This is my second RX. Just traded in the 04 model and Im blown away with all the upgrades. Clearly there were focus groups held and Toyota/Lexus listened! Better acceleration/power, better fuel economy, and all the right upgrades to the navigation system. I bought again based primarily on the RXs proven track record for reliability, no test drive, no haggling, and I was blown away when I sent to pick up the car. Everything on my wish list from the 04 was delivered.

  Engaging the cruise control blanks out the dashboard display! - 2013 Lexus RX 350
  By harry102 - June 24 - 5:26 am

  Ive been driving Lexus LSs for over 20 from 400- 460s. When purchasing my new RX350, no one at Lexus informed me that there was a flaw when engaging the cruise control. When you engage the cruise control the display located on the dashboard above the speedometer goes blank other than the word SET, and does not re-appear unless: 1.You hit the brakes, which disengages the cruise control, or 2.You manually re-engage the display with the thumb control on the steering wheel, or 3.You turn the cruise control off. None of the LSs, ISs, ESs or GSs do this so it is an obvious flaw in manufacture. Lexus says you have to live with it. I wouldnt have bought it had I known up front.

  new vs. old - 2011 Lexus RX 350
  By busseyky - June 22 - 10:51 pm

  the 2010 rx is not as driver friendly as the older models. I should have spent a few dollars on my "99 with 150k miles and kept it

  Lovin my new lexus - 2012 Lexus RX 350
  By luvnmylexus - June 21 - 11:22 pm

  I have own a 1st (2003), 2nd (2008) and now a 3rd generation (2012) Rx350....I have to tell you, the ride just keeps getting better and better! I just love my 2012. It is such a smooth and comfortable ride. Like floating on a cloud! No..it is not the "ultimate driving machine"..but that is not what I wanted. Hugging corners at high speeds is not my thing. I test drove a BMW...not impressed. The interior seemed "cheesy" to me. I am not looking for a "fun" drive. I am looking to be "pampered" and "spoiled" and this RX350 is exactly what the doctor ordered! It is very quiet and has just enough "giddy-up" to get the job done. PERFECT! Cant wait to c whats in store for my next Lexus!

  Am I the only one who finds the grill scary? - 2016 Lexus RX 350
  By mmart - June 20 - 5:59 am

  I heard all the great compliments on many levels, but seriously. This car looks angry. I would never buy it. Side and back are fine, but that grill is ridiculous.

  Wonderful piece of machinery - 2010 Lexus RX 350
  By Richard - June 14 - 11:16 am

  Had 2004 RX 330... Have MB Mclass 350, and 1998 MB 300 Turbodiesel. The 2010 RX is put together with meticulous craftsmanship.. everything fits perfectly, not one complaint in the first 1000 miles. Shocks are a little stiff with somewhat bumpy ride on New York City streets... but on smooth highway fantastic. Nav is very sophisticated... no lag in signal pickup. Excellent Bluetooth. Disconcerting small digital clock not in direct sight, and gets lost in sunlight. Very easy fold down rear seats. Steering is precise... could not spin Bridgestones (235-60/18) on wet road... have to see traction on snow Dash clear and concise, Nav screen clear and sharp. Fog light indicator light good addition.

  Love the RX - 2007 Lexus RX 350
  By Rooster - June 12 - 1:16 am

  This is our first Lexus and we love it. Build quality is very high. Changing the oil yourself is very easy to do and saves lots of money. Havent had any problems with the car at all so far.

  Fine Product - 2010 Lexus RX 350
  By Don - June 5 - 6:26 pm

  We purchased the 2010 RX350 as a replacement for a Volvo XC Wagon, which was a maintenance disaster. Weve had one previous Lexus. I concur with many who state they dont understand the negative comments. There is little I find fault with in this vehicle. The seats are firm, comfortable on long rides, and cooled. The handling is solid, with excellent steering response. Quality throughout exceeded what I noticed in BMW and Acura SUVs. As for gas mileage, given engine size and performance, Im pleased, averaging 22.5 after 10,000 miles. We did not opt for the nav system, as I couldnt justify the added cost over a plug-in GPS.
