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.

  Smart key not very smart - 2011 Lexus RX 350
  By pawilliams - September 30 - 9:25 am

  I just purchased the 2011 RX350 and I love it even after driving Mercedes sedans for the last 8 years the transition was easy. Its fun to drive, I like the space and it still has the feel of a luxury vehicle. The problem, my smart key is not very smart. You should be able to lock and unlock doors and start the car with just a touch or the hand or push of your finger. NOT!! My new RX350 has now been at the dealer for the same amount of time that it was physically in my possession. They keep saying, "the corporate office is working on a solution".

  Disappointed - 2010 Lexus RX 350
  By skibum12 - September 26 - 8:43 pm

  I upgraded my 2001 RX to this. To be honest, Im returning it. I cant get comfortable. Why they did away with the Captains Chairs is beyond me. I simply cant get comfortable in this car. Im 510. They came close to perfection but fell short. Bigger isnt better. Yes its got all the nice Lexus bells and whistles but I just dont want to drive this car anymore. To be honest, its boring. This is the perfect car to rent while maybe on a ski trip. To keep this car for years, no way.

  Classy design and well engineered - 2008 Lexus RX 350
  By Robert Justice - September 25 - 10:20 am

  Purchased the car in March 07, and have about 7500 miles on it. I love everything about the car, from its great looks to the wonderfully comfortable ride. The car has plenty of pep, and gets above average gas mileage for an SUV. The interior cabin is so quiet that it feels like youre in a sound proof room; no road or engine noise at all. The car has just about every luxury feature you can imagine, including a color video back-up camera which is very useful. My first dealer experience at 5K miles was great, they really treated me right. And the best part about that first service is its free! Anyway, great car, and Im very happy we got it.

  i love it! - 2007 Lexus RX 350
  By Jim - September 21 - 10:50 am

  Once you drive it you will have a hard time not buying it. It is quiet, luxurious, and fun to drive. The fifth generation navigation system is impressive and more accurate than expected. Little features like the outside mirrors moving down and the rear camera display on the navigation system so that you can see better backing up are very helpful. The people at the dealership were friendly and helpful. Although buying a car is always stressful, they reduced the stress as much as possible. I also intend to take advantage of the lifetime tire replacements and free car washes. I intend to keep this car for some time.

  Been Testing Out My New 2017 RX350 - 2017 Lexus RX 350
  By Chris - September 19 - 12:26 pm

  I just went from a 2015 Audi Q7 TDI to the 2017 RX350. The RX350 seems lighter and more nimble. I read many review on the RX350 and disagree with the sentiments expressed regarding looks and handling. The RX350 bold and aggressive look out shines all of the rest of the SUVs. Its sporting look sends the message that Im not just another stogy SUV driver. The handling is light. The steering is light and easy as opposed to the stiffer Audi steering. Im not sure why people think a stiff steering is better, but I have no problems doing twisty roads. In fact it seems like I can do them quicker in the RX350 without a lot of body roll. Overall, Im extremely satisfied with the RX350.

  Very pleased - 2011 Lexus RX 350
  By Frank Allen - September 12 - 5:22 am

  Used as family vehicle and often for hauling merchandise from stores and bikes and other recreational equipment. Pulls a small 2000 lb utility trailer as if it isnt there. Have spent 0 on repairs in 98,000 miles, only regular maintenance(synthetic oil) and one set of tires. First were replaced after 70,000 miles. Nothing not to like. We will trade for a Toyota or Honda. Unfortunately will not buy a 2017 Lexus because we think its ugly and ungainly looking. Drove to 138,000 miles and sold. Still no problems at all. Traded in for a Toyota Highlander, larger and uses regular gas.

  My wife and I looked at a lot of SUVs and for what you pay this was and is by far and away the best deal. Looks great, driver great, so comfortable.

  Even Better than the Last RX - 2009 Lexus RX 350
  By john0922stamps - August 29 - 5:46 am

  Time to trade in my 2006 ML350. Although I agree that the Lexus is not quite like a German driving experience, the overall design of the Lexus is superior. Too many quirks in the German cars. Ive had the new RX for a month. My city MPG is 21, highway 25. Im impressed. Navi system is awesome. This is our second RX, and, Lexus has really improved the details on this SUV. I really wonder if the next gen will be able to improve on this.

  AWESOME Car - 2010 Lexus RX 350
  By DS - August 20 - 7:03 pm

  Picked it up a few weeks ago after trading in my 07 Lexus ES350. Love the handling and comfort. Nav system easy to use and mouse set up is perfect. The seats are extremely comfortable. Swiveling Xenon lights with auto high beam dimmers are great especially in the mountain areas that I live. Chemical order fairly strong but not annoying. Need to get rid of Eco light. Miss the larger temperature reading in middle of console.
