The Lexus RX has long been the quiet and comfortable choice in the luxury crossover SUV segment. The RX has for the most part kept up with the changing demands of the luxury SUV buyer — beyond the standard RX 350, there's a long-wheelbase version (RX 350L) as well as a hybrid variant (RX 450h), both of which are reviewed separately. This current-generation RX 350 is nearing the end of its run — it's been around since the 2016 model year — but it still offers a well-built, comfortable interior and remains a good value for your money.
All the same, it'll be worth your while to research a few other small or midsize luxury SUVs. The BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLC blend modern technology, fuel efficiency and luxury in ways the Lexus can't quite match. And Acura's newly redesigned MDX offers comfort and a lot of standard features. For more details and specifics about the Lexus RX 350, check out our Expert Rating below.
Which RX 350 does MatoCar recommend?
We see no reason to stray from the base RX 350 since it offers plenty of available options. To that, we'd add the navigation system, the Mark Levinson audio system and the panoramic sunroof to round out the already luxurious interior. All-wheel drive is available, but we'd recommend steering clear of the F Sport since its firm ride runs counter to the RX's otherwise relaxed demeanor.The 2022 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 to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is optional.
