2021 Lexus RX 350 Luxury

The RX 350 is Lexus's midsize luxury SUV, the one most people cross-shop with the BMW X5 and Audi Q5. It's a smooth, quiet cruiser that glides over pavement, though it's not the sharpest handler in its class. Inside, you get a plush, well-built cabin with comfortable seats and generous space for five, plus a useful cargo area. The infotainment system uses a touchpad controller that takes some getting used to, but the standard safety suite is comprehensive. Leather upholstery, wood interior trim, and a power rear door set the Luxury apart from the Premium and Base trims below it. The 3.5L V6 makes 290 horsepower and uses an automatic transmission with all-wheel drive, giving it relaxed highway pace and confident all-weather traction. The Luxury trim adds a heated steering wheel and ventilated front seats as standard, items you'd pay extra for on the Premium.
