Lexus RX 350L Luxury 4dr SUV Exterior Shown

+77

The 2022 RX 350L is a slightly larger (and pricier) RX 350, with a third-row seat suitable for occasional use only. Compared to similarly priced three-row SUVs, it simply can't compete in performance, space or utility. If you're a fan of the RX and looking for one with more cargo space, the 350L could still work. Otherwise there are better three-row options.

I wanted so badly to like it!

2018 Lexus RX 350L Luxury 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 8A)

So I'm a current Lexus owner, love the brand and have been waiting months for the RX-L to come out and replace our family vehicle with a 3 row SUV. I was so excited when the RXL came out and I went to the dealership with checkbook in hand, ready to buy. I literally cannot understand what Lexus was thinking with the 3rd row design. I expect midsize SUV 3rd rows to be child-sized, but …

Very misleading with the mpg info

2018 Lexus RX 350L 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 8A)

First time Lexus owner and I was on the fence about this since it’s expensive but very very nice with all the bells and whistles. I wanted a high end car with 3rd row seating but also wanted reasonable gas mileage in a vehicle because I care about the environment. That combination is hard to find. Since the hybrid model was $10k more it just didn’t make sense so I opted for the standard …

Big mistake buying the lexus 350L !

2018 Lexus RX 350L 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 8A)

We bought the RX350L. Do not buy it if you want the third row for children! We bought it thinking it would be great as we take care of our grandkids a lot. We got fooled too thinking that with the captains chairs it would give the back more room. With the captains chairs the car fits 4 people! It is so dangerous sitting anyone in the third row. My grandkids are 3,5,and 8. Right now I …

Technology needs an update.

2018 Lexus RX 350L 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 8A)

I would prefer to call my F-Sport more of a blinged out Toyota than a Lexus. After more than 30 months with our 2017 RX, we have seen numerous glitches with many different electronic gadgetry. The outside rear view mirrors move to position while backing that is no good to anyone. They are either pointing into the air or on the ground next to the doors. The dial-a-drive mode dial, is … very quirky. Although “sport ++” livens up the acceleration, it’s makes the engine surge in traffic when inching along. It’s very annoying. We found that the “Eco” mode is the best overall mode to drive in. The preset driver buttons only give you partial command over certain controls. You would think that a company like Lexus would have the key fob integrated to the driver. But if I use my wife’s keys and hit the #2 driver button on the door, the car loses its mind and can’t figure out who the controls should be set to.. if you open the rear hatch and want to put the back seat down for extra cargo, you have to walk around to the rear doors and put the seats down from that location...you can’t fold them from the hatch. Here is my BIGGEST COMPLAINT !! I own a 2017 Dodge Charger RT, it is basically stripped,down except for the V8 and $28k....it has (standard equipment) a remote start key fob. Our RX, which was north of $55K had a one year free subscription that included a remote start. After that, unless you pay for that subscription, you lose all those amenities. So,add that subscription to your. monthly payment... the infotainment system is not user friendly. It is very difficult to set up the way you want it, and then , as things often do, it gets set to another drivers liking, it’s all that difficult to put it back the way it was. You CAN NOT set the “recirculating” air switch to stay on. It will blink and revert back to fresh air ALL THE TIME, so when you are behind that city bus or stopped at a red light over a lit cigarette in the road, you have no choice but to suck in all those sweet aromas. Overall...WAY TOO MANY ISSUES, for a high end SUV, we will go back to BMW and never again revisit the Lexus Dealer. We love the looks of the car, it’s stunning in shape and presence, Lexus just needs to sit down and stop trying to impress us with electronic wizardry, and just concentrate on things that work and work easily while you are concentrating driving your car safely .
