2025 Lexus RX 350h Luxury 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
Preface with I am a 53 y/o male, 6’3”, 195 lbs that have owned over 20 cars, of which 12 have been Lexus/Toyota. The best car I ever had was my 2010 Lexus RX 350 which I should have never sold, even with 200k miles on it. It drove like new, just the seats were falling apart. I read all the reviews and watched every YouTube video I could find, and the general consensus was the GLE and X5 … were fantastic but quite a few owners IMHO got lemons and/or were stranded early on on in their purchases. That’s something I could not risk as I have health problems and need my car to work. My previous car was 2023 Acura MDX Advance and I loooooved that car but it had a parasitic battery drain that the dealer could not figure out. On top of that the seats were tearing and the auto start/stop had to be manually engaged each annoying time I started the car. So I got the 2024 Lexus 350h hybrid. I desperately wanted the RX 450h+ plug in but it had no spare tire 🛞. I travel long distances across the desert and that is an absolute requirement for me. The RX350h has a spare so it made the choice easy. The RX drives very smoothly, it’s very quiet, even with the Bridgestone tires from the factory (which I will swap out with Michelins next). I have driven cross country from California to Florida to DC and back and have over 12,000 miles in 10 months. It has been very wonderful experience with (and this is something almost every brand cannot brag about) ABSOLUTELY ZERO ISSUES OR PROBLEMS!!!! That’s is why I bought this car and it holds up its part of the bargain. To me, luxury first and foremost is reliability. If that fancy Mercedes or Range Rover leaves you stranded one time on the road with your family, then it’s a fail. Now here is my only two complaints which I have come to terms with and accept it as my only compromises - the seats and the electronic door locks. I personally found the standard RX premium seats to be too firm in the butt bolsters. They would dig into my thighs and hurt on the test drives. I noticed on the RX450h+ it didn’t have that problem and then I realized that has the Luxury package as standard. So I got the RX350h with the Luxury package. That helped a lot but I still find them not as comfortable as my MDX seats (those were heavenly). However, I have noticed that they are breaking in and getting softer after 12k miles so hang in there if you find them firm. Lastly, the electronic door handles are very cool and handy but i am a worry wort and worry one day they won’t work and I’ll get trapped in the car. I know, they have the manual open by pulling the lever twice. But if there is an accident and the car is flooding or on fire will I or my passengers realize to pull the lever twice to exit, and will it really work? That’s my honest review. I hope I didn’t offend anyone and that it actually helps someone. This car will last you a lifetime if you maintain it. And don’t do what I did after 13 years and dump it and get sellers remorse. Take care and good luck on whatever you purchase.
I actually like this...

2025 Lexus RX 350h Premium Plus 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
Rather than purchase a Tesla or other EV (even with the rebate), I decided to buy the hybrid version of this car. It simply operates with remarkable quietness and smoothness, and the seats and touchable areas around the driver exude luxury. While it may not meet the acceleration preferences of enthusiasts, it does provide ample acceleration for my driving habits, and might I add, the … gas mileage is unbelievable for a vehicle of this size. Despite some criticism folks have of the steering wheel controls, I have adjusted to them quite well. I also incorporated the driving mode selections into the steering wheel custom options, allowing me to effortlessly move between sport and normal driving modes in seconds. So far, I have not had any problems with this car. I will note that it does take time and effort to get familiar with its advanced technological features, but considering the reliability and luxury appointments in this model (Premium Plus), I would do it again in a heartbeat.
Loving My Second Lexus!!!

2025 Lexus RX 350 Luxury 4dr SUV AWD (2.4L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
The first Lexus I purchased was a 2020 UX250h and have loved it! I don’t think I will ever purchase anything but a hybrid moving forward. I ordered my 2025 RX 350h in March and it came in early May. I told my salesman that I wanted everything on it (I couldn’t find an RX that had everything that I wanted and this time I wasn’t settling). Thrilled that I went with my gut to order … what I wanted and not just settle. My RX drives like a dream, no road noise in the cabin. Stereo system is incredible and I am learning all the features (it’s only been a week, give a gal some time)! It’s so comfortable and I am in love with my Peppercorn interior, which you can only get on the luxury trim. Wheels are gorgeous, great tires, rides so smooth. I commute to work each day; 45 minutes. It sure makes me happy to enjoy time with my new car. Mine’s also AWD! #LexusRX350h
Where did the Lexus quality go?

2026 Lexus RX 350h Luxury 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
I just retired. I thought, okay, I'm going to buy my last vehicle. I want to get a reliable vehicle that will last for the rest of my retirement years. My choices were a Mercedes Benz GLC 300 4matic Pinnacle trim, Lexus RX 350h luxury awd or a BMW X5 with Executive package. I chose Lexus based on Lexus supposed quality and reliability. My experience has been less than stellar. My RX … has all kinds of squeaks and rattles. So far, the drivetrain is alright. One noise the dealer has been chasing is what we thought was a dashboard rattle. After the second attempt to find x the rattle, I asked the service manager to bring in the Lexus field technical specialist for the third attempt. The specialist rode with me and a Lexus master technician and heard the noise. The specialist advised to use an NVH listening device to pinpoint the noise. The master technician in conjunction with the specialist found the noise. It is the panoramic glass roof panel. The specialist advised to replace the glass roof panel. I wouldn't expect this from Lexus. In addition, the bright window sill moldings on the outside doors do not align with each other. The front door sill is about 0.25 inches higher than the sill on the rear door. How did that pass Quality Control at the factory in Canada? Don't even get me started on the soft touch dashboard. The dash scuffs easily when wiped down with a damp microfiber towel. Seriously? Where's the quality? The interior is not total luxury. It's more like a Rav 4 on steroids. My vehicle is the top luxury trim. I'm not impressed.
