The Lexus RX 350 is a stylish, sporty, luxury midsize SUV that comfortably seats up to seven. It is a descendant of the Lexus RX, which had its unibody design adopted by all other SUVs. Here’s why the 2021 Lexus RX 350 is worth your test drive.
Trims and Pricing
The RX comes in three different trims. And each comes in a front-wheel drive and an all-wheel-drive version.
- RX 350: $45,200 FWD; $46,620 AWD
- RX 350F Sport: $48,700 FWD; $50,100 AWD
- RX 350L: $48,050 FWD; $49,450 AWD
The 350 is the base model. The 350F improves upon the 350 by adding interior and exterior design upgrades for a sportier look. But the 350F has mechanical upgrades giving the vehicle sportier capabilities. The 350L is longer and includes an additional row of seats and class-leading cargo space.
Power and Performance
The RX 350 uses a 3.5L V6 engine generating 295HP for the 350 and 350F models. The engine achieves a combined EPA of 23MPG (FWD) and 22MPG (AWD). The larger 350L gets slightly different numbers reaching 290HP and getting an EPA of 22MPG (FWD) and 21 MPG (AWD). All versions use an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Advanced technological features help this vehicle handle like a dream on the open road. The vehicle’s suspension absorbs road irregularities exceptionally well. Active cornering assist keeps drivers centered on the road during turns without oversteer. And the 350F gets a selectable sports mod that enhances the vehicle’s steering and suspension capabilities.
Safety and Driver Assistance
The RX350 uses many of today’s advanced safety features, as well as some next-generation ones. Triple-Beam LED headlamps and integrated daytime running lamps help you see everything, and everyone to see you. The Pre-collision System with Pedestrian Detection uses radar to detect pedestrians. It brakes automatically should a collision appear imminent.
Road Sign Assist detects road signs and alerts you to ones you may have overlooked. And the All-Speed Dynamic Cruise Radar Control keeps you a safe following distance away from traffic. When the traffic disappears, the vehicle resumes the cruising speed you initially requested.
Technology
A 12.3 -inch display provides drives with all the apps they need. It integrates with Apple Car Play, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa. Drivers can stay connected by accessing their phone through their RX or even shop online using voice commands through Alexa.
An integrated heads-up display presents all the critical driving information on the windshield. Drivers can view see information like current speed, safety information, and the current gear they’re using. And they can do this without ever removing their eyes from the road.
Exceptional Comfort and Convenience
Impressive power options like the Power Rear Door with Kick Sensor allow you to load your Lexus unassisted. Take it one step further with the Power-Folding Third Row Seats that fold at the touch of a button.
