ConsWhat's new

The original Lexus RX was a hugely influential vehicle, arriving in the late 1990s to help pioneer the luxury crossover SUV segment. It's been the template for dozens of competitors since. The latest 2021 RX 350 does its predecessors proud. It's quiet, comfortable and offers a lot of features for less money than much of the competition. There's also a fuel-efficient RX 450h hybrid version and longer RX 350L that uses the extra space to fit a third row of seating (both of those are reviewed separately).

The RX 350 does have strong competition, however. The Acura MDX is its closest rival, offering similar features and performance plus a roomy third-row seat. We also like the Mercedes-Benz GLE and BMW X5, though both of those cost significantly more than the RX 350. On the whole, the 2021 RX 350 is a smart pick if you're looking for a comfortable luxury crossover SUV.

Which RX 350 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.

Lexus RX 350 models

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.

5/5 stars, Always go back to a Lexus

Jim R., 10/28/2020

4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 8A)

While I’ve only had the car a week now, first impressions have settled in. First, the RX is a noticeable improvement from my 2018 Volvo XC60. It’s quieter, smoother, and much more comfortable. The features I gained over the Volvo are all little things that appeal to me. For example, the electrically adjustable steering wheel as part of the memory seating position. The fact that the seat

Since 2011 my family and I have bought Rx350’s. Each time we have upgraded to eventually get the 2021 luxury package. Amazing, well built cars, that engulf you with luxury.

3/5 stars, Very nice SUV except for the transmission

Jim K, 04/18/2021

4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 8A)

I just bought a 2021 Lexus RX 350 with the premium package and navigation. Everything is very nice except the transmission tries to up shift too soon, causing the engine to bog down and then shift back down suddenly. When trying to accelerate, the vehicle hesitates then takes off, I almost got hit because the car would not move. I took it back to the dealer after just 2 weeks and I was

4/5 stars, Great quality, excellent design and comfortable

Roddy Ng, 12/06/2020

4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 8A)

Excellent vehicle and really comfortable. I love everything except for the mpg. It suppose have 20mpg city/ 27mpg in freeway. So far I get 16 or less average ( 70% city 30% freeway) with 380miles (owning about 3 weeks). Anyway, buying luxury vehicle shouldn’t looking at the mpg, I am complaining it. I love my RX!

2021 Lexus RX 350 video

2020 Lexus RX First Look

[MUSIC PLAYING] TRAVIS LANGNESS: If you've been in the market for a luxury crossover any time in the last 20 years, you're probably familiar with what's behind me. The Lexus RX. This is the new 2020 RX 350, the F sport in this particular case. It's got some new details. We're going to check out what this mid-cycle refresh is all about and see what's new. [MUSIC PLAYING] Since it's one of Lexus' top selling models, and one of the top selling luxury vehicles in America, they haven't really messed with the formula on this one. There are small changes to the front bumper and headlights, as well as the rear bumper, exhaust pipes, but the profile of this car stays the same. It was only redesigned four years ago, so they're not going to mess with success. And that's it on the outside. Sure, you get some new wheels, but if you see the 2019 and 2020 model next to each other in a parking lot, you might have a hard time telling them apart. That's because the side profile is pretty much the same. But everything up front looks a little bit sleeker, more grown up, which is strange to say about a luxury vehicle. I think it's a big improvement for this Lexus. Under the hood, you get the same choice of engines as you did last year. There's a 3.5 liter V6 that puts out about 295 horsepower, as well as another 3.5 liter V6 paired with two electric motors for the hybrid model. That puts out about 310 horsepower. Both of those engines get the same horsepower and fuel economy ratings as the previous model year. Under the car and the suspension bits things have changed a little bit more. The F-sport is actually now broken into two different packages. You can get the appearance package or the performance package. And the performance package includes an adaptive suspension sourced from the Lexus LC. They're big sporty grand coupe. On the safety front, there's new equipment too. All Lexus RX models get the Safety System Plus 2.0, which includes cool stuff like Cyclist Detection and Pedestrian Detection. Great when you add it to the already full list of safety features available on our models. Along with the tech updates and the things on the outside, there's some styling changes on the inside in the form of a couple of new interior colors like this red, as well as a couple of different options for paint. You also get Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A first for this car. As well as this 12.3 inch optional touchscreen that moves 5 and 1/2 inches closer to the driver, not just controlled by this frustrating to use touchpad. That's going to be a big difference and might just change the game for the RX. So should you buy a new 2020 Lexus RX? Well, depends on what you want out of your luxury crossover. This one's well rounded. It's got lots of great standard and optional equipment, but it's not the sportiest in the bunch, despite the F-sport name. Other vehicles like the Audi Q5 might be better at that. And if you're looking at the long version, the RX 350L, you might look at something with more space in the back like an Audi Q7 or an XC 90 from Volvo. Those are going to be less cramped in the third row. And if you're looking at hybrid models, we also recommend a vehicle like the Acura MDX Sport Hybrid or the XC 90 T8 hybrid. But if you want a well-rounded luxury crossover, take a look at the RX. We think it's worth your time. For all the details on the RX 350, the F-sport, the 3-row version, and all of the RX models, go to edmunds.com. Take a look at our First Looks.

2020 Acura MDX

Lexus RX 350 vs. Acura MDX

The Acura MDX has a few advantages over the RX 350. For a bit less money, you get a third row of seating (Lexus does offer the three-row RX 350L, but its third row is pretty cramped) and roughly the same level of equipment. The MDX is also a little more responsive to drive. We don't particularly care for Acura's infotainment system, but the same can be said of Lexus' system.

Lexus RX 350 vs. Acura RDX

The RDX is a class size smaller (and less expensive), but it's worth checking out. Its turbocharged four-cylinder offers similar performance and even better fuel economy than the RX 350's V6. The RDX also benefits from Acura's latest infotainment system, which is easier to use than the one in either the RX 350 or the MDX. In favor of the RX 350 is its additional cargo space and slightly nicer interior.

Lexus RX 350 vs. Cadillac XT5

Looking for a hometown alternative to the RX 350? Cadillac's XT5 could be worth a look. We like its roomy interior and pleasing performance. But compared to the RX 350 it comes up a little short on refinement. The Cadillac isn't as quiet or refined as we expect from a luxury SUV, and small windows make it somewhat difficult to see out of.

Should I lease or buy a 2021 Lexus RX 350?

Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
