Used 2021 Lexus RX 350 SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2021 Lexus RX 350 comes in two trims: base and F Sport. Both are powered by a 3.5-liter V6 (295 horsepower, 267 lb-ft of torque) that's paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is optional on both models.

Base

  • Leather-wrapped steering wheel
  • Power-adjustable front seats
  • Rain-sensing windshield wipers
  • Keyless entry with push-button start
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and Amazon Alexa integration

Standard safety features and driver aids include:

  • Lexus Safety System+ 2.0
    • Forward collision warning (alerts you of a possible collision with the car in front)
    • Automatic emergency braking (warns if a front impact is imminent and applies the brakes if you don't respond in time)
    • Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front)
    • Lane departure warning (alerts you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane)
    • Lane keeping assist (steers the RX 350 back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
    • Blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while reversing)

Options include:

  • Heated and ventilated front seats
  • Power-folding rear seats
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Head-up display
  • Hands-free power liftgate
  • Wireless charging pad
  • Navigation system
    • 12.3-inch touchscreen
    • 12-speaker audio system
    • Lexus Enform App Suite (Yelp, iHeartRadio, Movietickets.com and more)
  • 15-speaker Mark Levinson audio system
  • Towing package (only available on AWD models)

F Sport
The F Sport includes all of the base RX 350's features, adding:

  • F Sport grille, front and rear bumper, and badges
  • 20-inch wheels
  • F Sport steering wheel
  • F Sport front and rear dampers
  • Aluminum interior trim
  • Optional F Sport Handling package
    • Adaptive suspension
    • Heated and ventilated sport seats
    • A heated steering wheel

Which RX 350 trim does Edmunds recommend?

You can't go wrong with either the base RX 350 or the sportier-looking F Sport version. We do suggest adding the navigation package for its larger infotainment screen plus the sweet-sounding Mark Levinson upgraded audio system.
