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.

  Drone noise, vibration, buzzing - 2016 Lexus RX 350
  By Robert - February 8 - 5:31 pm

  If anyone is sensitive to noise, vibration, buzzing feel, then look elsewhere!! I suggest anyone to test drive this car long enough to feel everything that I mentioned befores you decide buy this Lexus, I am very disappointed, frustrated that I had not done so..only trusting Lexus quality. The service department has no clue to how to address this issue, so they are only denying that there is this issue. I can only say that all this noise and vibration is driving me crazy everyday!!!

  My Mistake - 2017 Lexus RX 350
  By My Mistake - February 5 - 12:33 am

  This car is a perfect example of a good model gone bad. The drive train in the 2017 is not smooth or powerful, resulting in a herky jerky performance and uneven power even when the throttle is steady. It also has a way too soft suspension that results in instability when going over bumps at higher speeds, such as on an interstate. The drive is comparable to a high mileage vehicle with weak shocks and struts. In addition, the bluetooth set up is both confusing and difficult to navigate. So if you want a new model that is both unattractive because of grill styling, drives like a pig, and is a step down in bluetooth, this is the vehicle for you. Ive owned Lexus vehicles for nearly two decades, and this is by far the worst vehicle that Ive owned.

  Another winner from Lexus... - 2008 Lexus RX 350
  By thesugarrush - February 3 - 1:46 pm

  Second Lexus in the garage and first Lexus SUV. The quality, comfort, and luxury are eveywhere in this RX. It has smooth engine with enough power. Ride is very quiet, smooth and comfortable. Got 18 city/22-24mpg highway. Previously owned a Murano. The RX 350 is a step up in terms of luxury, ownership experience and quality. I test drove Benz ML350, FX35 and BMW X5 before buying the Lexus. Lexus USA disables navigation destination input vehicle is in motion. However, there are many ways to bypass this. So do not use this as your excuse not to purchase this great vehicle.

  I hope the new ones ride better. - 2011 Lexus RX 350
  By jamiedaniel - February 2 - 1:50 pm

  I got my RX in Feb this year with 9,000 miles on it. Now I think I know why the original owner traded it. The suspension is way too stiff, and noisy. You feel every bump and the rear suspension lets you know with loud booms. This thing rides like a Mercedes ML. Thats not good. Also, with all the bouncing around, the back seat emits all kinds of noise. Keeping it folded down seems to help. I dont want a car so soft it wallows and has tons of body roll, but this is just ridiculous. Other than that, Im ok with the rest of the car. The leather and other materials feel good. Its fairly quiet. Im getting 23mpg on premium.

  New Lex RX 350 - 2007 Lexus RX 350
  By ESL1227 - January 27 - 2:20 pm

  All in all Im satisfied with it, 2nd Lexus Ive owned, I cant decide whether I like it better than my 93 LS 400 though. The vehicle is so smooth that it kind of takes away from the driving experience. That and the blindspots are my only complaint. Also, the standard stereo is mediocre at best for a vehicle of this caliber. Definitely opt for the Mark Levinson system if possible. The exterior is classy and modern, the interior is gorgeous and ridiculously comfortable, and again it drives so smooth its pretty much not "fun" to drive. Thats good for some people I suppose.

  Almost Perfect!! - 2007 Lexus RX 350
  By 3rd lexus - January 19 - 9:53 pm

  This is my third Lexus and my second Lexus SUV. In my opinion, this is the most advanced vehicle Ive ever driven!! And as such, is a pretty good value for the buck!!!! I will be purchasing another RX 350 very soon, unless the new LS 600h stickers for less than 70 grand!! HA HA!! Anyway, if youre out there trying to decide on a new luxury ride, the RX 350 is your best bet!!!

  Wind noise 2010 RX 350 - 2010 Lexus RX 350
  By spagirl - January 14 - 5:50 pm

  The wind noise is evident even at relatively low speeds. The ipod is very hard to plug in and the gas mileage is about 14 mpg in the city.

  Exceptional car. My wife and I love it so far. - 2015 Lexus RX 350
  By Curtis - January 11 - 7:03 pm

  Best choice you could make. The Cadillac SRX had to many negative reviews or we most likely would have bought that for the savings, but no regrets at all.

  Happy as can be! - 2011 Lexus RX 350
  By Alex Kolesnikov - December 30 - 4:53 pm

  I recently traded my 2008 BMW X5 in for this 2011 Lexus RX350. The main reason I got rid of the BMW was because of the horrible and I mean horrible reliability, and everyone knows if you wanted a reliable luxury car you choose a Lexus. Weve had the car now for a couple days and the transition was much easier than expected. The Lexus has many more features than the old BMW and its MUCH more comfortable, the ride is smooth, the interior is well appointed and the cabin is very quiet when driving. Very happy that we chose to buy the RX350, you wont regret it.

  Excellent Ride - 2008 Lexus RX 350
  By Jose - December 27 - 1:56 pm

  I have had this car for 1 week, and I am in love. It is plush, rides very nicely, and all the interior features work very well together (GPS, XM, Bluetooth, rear camera, entertainment system) - as one system, not as aggregate ones. My only complaint (minor) is that the driver seat does not go back enough for long legs. Also, I find the steering wheel a tad less comfortable than the Toyota Highlander (which this car looks so much like inside). Sound is good. Handling is excellent. Overall, a great buy.
