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.

  My RX 350 - 2007 Lexus RX 350
  By S. Gritz - January 4 - 11:40 am

  I am extremely pleased how the car runs. The air conditioning at 106 outside is cool and crisp. The nav system is easy to use and master. Overall the car meets or exceeds my expectations.

  LOVE Lexus, not the new RX350 - 2010 Lexus RX 350
  By JKM - January 2 - 2:56 pm

  This is my 3rd Lexus auto and my 2nd RX. Do not like the clunky center console which take up valuable leg room or the recessed Navi screen with bulky controls on the console, not good use of interior space. The front seats are also uncomfortable and do not provide good seating support. There is also a lack of secured storage (i.e., lockable compartment in the trunk) and lack of rear storage space as compared to my 2005 RX. Also, lots of noise which the deal has tried to fix including adjusting the windshield by adding additional insulation and soundproofing. In short, not the same quality as my previous RX nor as fun to drive. Its the perfect car for older drivers.

  Lexus Rx 350 is the best! - 2008 Lexus RX 350
  By lexusluver - December 27 - 4:41 am

  We currently do not own a Lexus RX 350 but my husband and I did own a Lexus RX 300 up until someone driving 55 mph in a 30 mph zone hit us as we were sitting still at a stop light, the truck did not stop at all and hit us full force which consequently pushed us into a new Honda Pilot which was approximately five feet ahead of us. This accident totaled all three vehicles, but we were the only one who was able to drive our vehicle home, all though the impact knocked our lexus off its frame, the trucks front end was practically gone. The insurance company totaled our vehicle, but it and God, saved both of our lives. I will and am looking forward to purchasing a Lexus RX 350 Asap.

  Early impressions after an 02 Lexus LS 430. - 2017 Lexus RX 350
  By George - December 25 - 2:47 pm

  This is an SUV not a Luxury Sedan, so the ride will take some adjusting to. It had 24 miles when we picked it up, now 550. The vehicle handles better in all aspects and we have likewise become comfortable with its strong response, transmission and how it settles to a relax mode but ready to surge. A lot of power on Eco mode, imagine Sport mode. Comfort is present at all times, driving safety features are excellent assists. Again, this a brief experience, time will provide more information.

  Happy Camper So Far - 2015 Lexus RX 350
  By gary l. barr - December 24 - 3:53 am

  It is the last year of the true midsize RX, the 2016 is larger. Still a happy camper after 4000 miles, and Iam really happy with the mileage, 28 highway at 70 with air on and 22 plus in true stop and go driving. The only thing I dont like is the throttle response is quite quick.

  In Love - 2010 Lexus RX 350
  By my name?? Marty - December 19 - 7:23 pm

  Only have for one week now, but feel compelled to relate how wonderful this vehicle is so far. Dont understand some of the negative reviews. Its a dream to drive with some fun installed. Was worried it would be same old same old, since this is my fourth rx. I miss the side moldings and extra storage in trunk of the 08. But the technology with the mouse pad, nav, etc., is useful and fun. But not for those looking for simple. Takes getting used to.

  Exceptional SUV - 2007 Lexus RX 350
  By Mark - December 19 - 5:50 am

  Have had it for two months. Great SUV to drive. Very comfortable ride. MPG is better than other 6 cyl SUVs. Goodyear tires a bit noisy on concrete. High intensity lights are great at night. Bluetooth is great. Owners manual is very good and describes all the features. Navigation should be a standard feature. Its worth the extra cost.

  Stylish inside and out-lots of features - 2010 Lexus RX 350
  By luvmylexus - December 8 - 4:36 am

  Ive only had this car for a few weeks and I love it! I did a lot of research before finally deciding on purchasing the new 2010 Lexus RX350. Lexus is known for luxury and quality and this car will not disappoint. The new interior design is the best part. Navi is great. Ride is smooth and comfortable. Headlights are great. Lots of safety features. So many features make this car great and convenient to drive. I noticed in a previous post reviewer had mentioned car rolling back even on the slightest incline. I have a totally opposite experience. I have to make sure and check that Im in drive and not park since car stays put. Overall, highly recommended, wont be disappointed.

  Overpriced - Not as advertised - 2017 Lexus RX 350
  By Jim B - December 7 - 5:12 am

  Excellent ride but technology definitely lags other cars. HUD is totally USELESS and a joke at best. Speed limit is displayed randomly with no logic and makes no sense. It is always on the Navigation display in the center of the dash but only on the HUD less than 10% of the time at best. Where is the logic in that? When I took it back to the dealer, they said it was designed that way to reduce the clutter on the HUD and only show up occasionally as a reminder. Are you serious? When I look for it, it is because I want or need to know speed limit where I’m driving. So now I have to look at the navigation screen in the center of the console and take my eyes off the road. This is a 2018 car and the navigation database is June 2016 almost 2 years old. That is hilarious to me. To spend that much money on a navigation system and then turn around and have to go buy an update Which is 1 year old is insane. Save your money, and use your smart phone with Google Maps which is a better mapping system, more accurate, with latest data, and a better display. The PCS system does not even come remotely close to providing sufficient warning and application of the brakes to keep from hitting someone or something. There is no way you would want to be in front of a car and test the system. And in fact Lexus demonstration videos do not show any test of the system with actual people or vehicles in front of the car but a dummy is used instead. Good thing. I have ridden in a 2016 Infiniti QX60 that provides excellent warning and application of brakes. The 2018 Lexus is no comparison and the system will not adequately or safely perform. The rear hatchback will supposedly open with just a wave of your hand over the L symbol. It didn’t work when they demonstrated car to me, so they had maintenance department disconnect the battery for 30 seconds and reconnected and it worked. When I went to pick the car up for delivery it did not work again. So they repeated the same battery disconnect. It worked before leaving the dealership but the following day it would not work again. I called the dealer and he said I had two options, that I could bring the car back into the dealership, or I could disconnect the battery myself and leave it disconnected for 30 seconds and then reconnect and it will start working again. Seriously? So I just bought a 60+ thousand dollar car and I am going to be disconnecting the battery to reset this system for another 24 hours. The logic for the electronic controls for the navigation system is not user-friendly at all. When you want to do something very simple you struggle through the menu items to find the screen that holds the selection you need to make and often times have to either pull out the manual or search online and find out how to get to the screen that you want to make the selection you need. There is absolutely no logic to that system. My daughters 2016 Infiniti QX 60 which is two years older has a much better and more logical menu system. When I purchased this lecture so I thought I was buying a better car but I was sadly mistaken. I fully intend to sell this car and replace it with a QX 60 for at least $10,000 less.

  Nice Luxury SUV - 2010 Lexus RX 350
  By TXGAL - December 3 - 3:06 am

  I have owned my RX for one month now. I have had no mechanical issues at all. The car rides very smooth on the road. You cannot even hear it running when inside the car. Mileage is not that great but then I already knew that when I did my research. Big change to go from a key start function to an electronic key fob and you just press the Engine Start button. Neat feature - just took some time to get use to. I purchased the Luxury package in Silver (Tungsten Pearl) with the wood grain wheel. Very happy with my car. Just a few plastic pieces on outside like the shark fin part and the bumpers. Didnt expect so much plastic for the price of the car.
