2025 Lexus RX 350 Premium Plus 4dr SUV Exterior Shown

+590

The 2025 Lexus RX boasts a classy-looking interior and continues the brand's tradition of expertly built luxury vehicles. It also gets good fuel economy and comes with a lot of features for an agreeable price. But it lacks the performance and cargo capacity of some rivals and doesn't quite have the same level of refinement for some of its technology features.Read full review

Overview

by the Edmunds Experts

1/28/2025

The RX is Lexus' five-seat midsize SUV, sitting between the compact NX and the larger TX and in the automaker's lineup. It's also one of the brand's longest-running nameplates and has long been a popular choice for shoppers wanting cushy comfort and classy interior appointments to go along with all of the practical elements of SUV ownership. The RX was redesigned for 2023 and continues on into 2025 with no major changes.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2025 Lexus RX 350 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl Turbo 8A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.76 per gallon for premium unleaded in Utah.}

Edmunds spotlight: Plenty of powertrain options

You can get the Lexus RX in many different versions. There's the standard gas-powered 350, the hybrid 350h, the plug-in hybrid 450h+ and the sporty — and also hybrid — 500h. You've got options whether you're looking to save on gas, do a bit of electric-only driving, or add some sport to your luxury SUV.

Competitors to consider

We consider the Mercedes-Benz GLE to be the best overall choice for a midsize luxury SUV. Just like the RX, it's got a great-looking interior, and it also offers pleasing performance and technology features. The BMW X5 is also an appealing alternative to the RX if you want something a little sportier. These German SUVs are typically more expensive, however. Other options include the roomier Acura MDX, feature-packed Genesis GV80 and off-road-oriented Land Rover Defender.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

by the Edmunds Experts

Good

7.8

out of 10

We drove the 2025 Lexus RX on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.^{The Edmunds Vehicle Testing Team evaluates a fresh batch of vehicles every week, pairing objective assessments at our test track with real-world driving on city streets, freeways and winding roads. The data we gather results in our Expert Ratings. They’re based on 30-plus scores that cover every aspect of the automotive experience.}

Performance

7.5/10

How does the RX drive? Our test vehicle was a RX 350 in the F Sport Handling trim. While that doesn't add any power, it does come with all-wheel drive, which enabled the RX to hit 60 mph in an uneventful 7.8 seconds. That's slower than the four-cylinder Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 and more than 2 seconds slower than the six-cylinder-powered Genesis GV80. Lexus does offer the RX 500h should you be desiring quicker performance than the RX 350 can provide.

The F Sport version comes with a sport-tuned suspension. It's stable when going around turns, but the tires aren't grippy enough for you to really have fun when driving with some enthusiasm. On the upside, the RX's firm and easy-to-control brake pedal makes it a breeze to stop with full confidence in a variety of situations on the street.

Comfort

8/10

How comfortable is the RX? Our test vehicle was the F Sport Handling trim, which includes a sport-tuned adaptive suspension and 21-inch wheels. Some buyers might find the ride quality a bit stiff. If so, avoid getting this version. The F Sport also comes with special seats that have more bolstering but are just as soft and comfortable as the ones in a standard RX. The seat heating and ventilation in our test RX were fast-acting, and the rear seats offered better than average sculpting and support.

Most of the climate control features are readily accessible and easy to use. The three-zone climate system did a good job of maintaining a set temperature, though we thought the center vents were too low to be particularly effective on a warm day. Interior noise levels are relatively low, and while we noticed little to no wind noise, we did hear more tire hum than we expected.

Interior

8/10

How’s the interior? The interior of the RX is a mix of Lexus' superb attention to detail as well as some puzzling and sometimes frustrating design choices. The sharp-looking 14-inch touchscreen display is a highlight thanks to its clean graphics and quick responses. Despite the stunning new interior design, the RX does not have a steep learning curve, and most of its controls will become immediately familiar. Another benefit of the large center display is the crystal-clear backup camera and, if so equipped, surround-view camera system. It makes maneuvering the RX in tight confines a snap.

But the shift lever adopts the unconventional shift pattern used in the Toyota Prius, which had us occasionally selecting neutral when we thought we had drive. Another frustration: the unmarked buttons on the steering wheel. Lexus has cleverly made them multifunctional, but their functions are only shown in the head-up display and require too much focus to perform simple tasks.

The driving position in the RX is easy to tailor to suit a wide variety of body types, and while the rear seating area lacks the generous legroom found in the Acura MDX, there's enough space for most adults to be reasonably comfortable. Headroom is a bit on the limited side, especially for taller rear passengers.

Technology

8/10

How’s the tech? Our test vehicle was equipped with the optional, eye-catching 14-inch unit. Crisp, easy-to-read graphics and quick responses are appreciated, but the somewhat confusing menu structure could use some refinement. Our test vehicle was also equipped with the 21-speaker Mark Levinson audio system. Enormously powerful with excellent clarity, it's well worth the upgrade if you have room in your budget.

Wireless smartphone connectivity is standard but, strangely enough, navigation is not. After the free trial expires, Lexus charges a fee (every two years at the time of writing) to continue the cloud-based service. We had a few issues with connecting to the cloud-based system, even in heavily populated Southern California. The RX's voice controls were slightly underwhelming, mostly due to their slow response times, even though you can do everything from changing the radio station to turning on the wipers.

The RX comes standard with Lexus' Safety System+ 3.0, which includes pretty much every advanced driver aid you'd expect. Response times were on the conservative side but we encountered no false alarms.

Storage

7.5/10

How’s the storage? Being a midsize SUV, the RX offers adequate cargo capacity. The liftover is a bit high, but the cargo area is clear of weird shapes and awkward cubbies. That said, at 29.6 cubic feet with the seats up, the RX trails competitors like the Mercedes-Benz GLE (33.3 cubes) and the Acura MDX (39.1 cubes behind the second row of seats). With all the seats down, it's more of the same, with the RX offering far less on outright capacity than its competition.

Inside, the center console opens from either side, and there's a thoughtful storage bin with a wireless phone charger to keep your phone safely tucked away while you're on the road. The door pockets, front and rear, are fairly large but aren't lined with felt, so smaller items might rattle around. Loading a car seat into the RX's second row shouldn't be too much trouble thanks to easily reachable anchor points and individually reclining rear seatbacks.

Towing, not an expressly common activity in the RX, is less impressive. When properly equipped, the RX can only muster a 3,500-pound tow rating. Competitors like the GLE, MDX and Genesis GV80 can all tow far more.

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

Fuel Economy

8.5/10

How’s the fuel economy? The RX is one of the more fuel-efficient SUVs in the segment, with an estimated 24 mpg combined (21 city/28 highway) for the all-wheel-drive F Sport. During our 115-mile highway-heavy evaluation loop, the RX held close to that estimate, returning 25.4 mpg. That's far better than what we've seen from rivals like the Genesis GV80, Acura MDX and the Mercedes GLE.

Value

8/10

Is the RX a good value? With exemplary build quality and a host of standard features, the Lexus RX, even in our test model's F Sport specification, represents appealing value in this competitive segment. The RX's pricing is reasonable, and when compared feature for feature against vehicles like the Mercedes-Benz GLE, the Lexus' value really shines.

Warranties are on par for the class, with the Lexus offering four-year/50,000-mile bumper-to-bumper and six-year/70,000-mile powertrain coverage.

Wildcard

7.5/10

The Lexus RX does have its foibles (mainly on the tech front), and we're not totally sold on the F Sport version. But overall the RX is a competitive and interesting pick for a luxury SUV without any major faults.

Which RX does Edmunds recommend?

We recommend starting with the RX 350h. It capitalizes on fuel economy, one of its greatest assets, while delivering plenty of comfort and technology. From there, we'd step up to the midrange Premium+ trim to get genuine leather upholstery and the larger infotainment screen.

2024 Lexus RX 350h Luxury 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

Too often a vehicle is judged by automotive "enthusiasts" who dwell on low 0-60 acceleration times and subsequently categorise the vehicle as preferred. After testing several vehicles I selected the Lexus rx350h. Plenty fast, handles exceptionally well, great on gas, oh, so comfortable, quiet, modern and a solid vehicle to boot with high resale value. Automotive reviewers provide an …

We’ve been Lexus owners since 2005. This is our fifth Lexus, and our third RX hybrid (we still have our 2008!) I’ve always said that driving a Lexus is like driving a living room, and I am astounded as to how that even continues to improve with every new version. This vehicle is incredibly quiet, comfortable, and roomy, with the most wonderfully silky ride, and fantastic technology and …

Like the hybrid more than I thought I might. Performance is smooth and powerful enough. Four cylinder engine is a bit noisier than I like. Wish they had kept the V6 of prior models. Do not like the fact they took away the split screen option on the 14 inch display. Would have preferred buttons for controls of previous models, This one does most everything on the touch screen which …
