Used 2021 Lexus RX 350L SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2021 Lexus RX 350L is a three-row midsize crossover sold in a single trim level. It's powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine (290 horsepower, 263 lb-ft) paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is optional. The RX 350L comes standard with seven-passenger seating, though the second-row bench can be switched out for captain's chairs, which reduces seating to six.

Which RX 350L trim does Edmunds recommend?

The RX 350L comes pretty well loaded out of the gate, so we don't think you have to go wild on the options. The most significant stand-alone options require the addition of the Premium package, but from there you can add worthy and relatively inexpensive features such as heated and ventilated front seats. The Navigation package is also worth checking out since it includes an eye-popping central display with touchscreen capability — something the standard display lacks. If you opt for the Navigation package, spend a little extra and get the Mark Levinson hi-fi audio system. Your ears will thank you.
