  • Reliability (5)
    5 out of 5 stars
    Lexus has an excellent reputation for reliability, and the RX 350 is no exception. Owners consistently report trouble-free ownership, making it a dependable choice for the long term.
  • Maintenance (4)
    4 out of 5 stars
    Maintenance costs for the Lexus RX 350 are generally reasonable for a luxury vehicle. Parts are readily available, and Lexus dealerships are known for their quality service, though luxury brand service can be pricier than mainstream.
  • Technology (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    While the infotainment system is functional, the remote touchpad controller can be cumbersome to use while driving. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, but the overall interface feels a bit dated compared to newer rivals.
  • Comfort (5)
    5 out of 5 stars
    Comfort is a strong suit for the RX 350. The seats are exceptionally plush and supportive, and the cabin remains remarkably quiet, even at highway speeds. Ride quality is superb, absorbing bumps with ease.
  • Dynamics (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    The 2021 Lexus RX 350 Base offers a smooth and composed ride, prioritizing comfort over sporty handling. While it's perfectly adequate for daily driving, it lacks the engaging feel of some competitors.

2021 Lexus RX 350: A Detailed Overview

The 2021 Lexus RX 350 continues its reign as a popular choice in the luxury midsize SUV segment, offering a compelling blend of comfort, refinement, and proven reliability. This iteration builds upon the RX's established reputation, delivering a sophisticated and user-friendly experience for a wide range of drivers.

Highlights

  • Engine: At its heart, the RX 350 is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine. This naturally aspirated powerhouse delivers a smooth and responsive 295 horsepower and 263 lb-ft of torque. Mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission, it provides effortless acceleration for everyday driving and confident merging onto highways. The powertrain is known for its quiet operation and consistent performance.
  • Safety Features: Lexus equips the RX 350 with its comprehensive Lexus Safety System+ 2.0 as standard. This suite of advanced driver-assistance technologies is designed to enhance safety and reduce the risk of accidents. Key features include:
    • Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection: Utilizes radar and camera systems to detect potential frontal collisions and automatically apply the brakes if necessary. It can also detect pedestrians in certain conditions.
    • Dynamic Radar Cruise Control: Maintains a set distance from the vehicle ahead, automatically adjusting speed to keep pace.
    • Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist: Alerts the driver if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane and can provide gentle steering intervention to keep it centered.
    • Intelligent High Beams: Automatically switches between high and low beams based on oncoming traffic and preceding vehicles.
    • Road Sign Assist: Recognizes certain road signs (like speed limits) and displays them on the instrument cluster.
  • Trims: The 2021 RX 350 is offered in a few well-defined trims, each building upon the previous one with increasing levels of luxury and features:
    • RX 350 (Standard): The foundational trim, offering a generous array of standard luxury and safety features, making it a capable and well-equipped choice.
    • RX 350 F SPORT: This sport-tuned variant enhances the RX 350's dynamic capabilities with a sport-tuned suspension, unique interior and exterior styling cues, and sport seats. It offers a more engaging driving experience without sacrificing significant comfort.
  • Other Notable Aspects:
    • Comfortable and Quiet Interior: The cabin of the RX 350 is a sanctuary of quiet and comfort. High-quality materials, excellent sound insulation, and comfortable seating create a refined atmosphere for all occupants.
    • User-Friendly Infotainment: The infotainment system, controlled via a console-mounted joystick or touchscreen (though some find the joystick unintuitive), features a standard 8-inch display (optional 12.3-inch), Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa compatibility, providing seamless smartphone integration.
    • Cargo Space: While not the largest in its class, the RX 350 offers practical cargo space for everyday needs, with split-folding rear seats further enhancing versatility.
    • Reliability: Lexus has a long-standing reputation for exceptional reliability, and the RX 350 is no exception. This is a significant draw for buyers prioritizing dependability.

What to Expect

Owning a 2021 Lexus RX 350 typically translates to a stress-free and enjoyable ownership experience. The vehicle is built with a focus on durability and longevity, meaning you can generally expect routine maintenance to be straightforward and relatively inexpensive compared to some European luxury competitors. Regular oil changes, tire rotations, and fluid checks will be the norm.

Maintenance costs are generally considered moderate for a luxury vehicle. Lexus dealerships offer comprehensive service packages, and independent mechanics familiar with Lexus vehicles can also provide reliable service. The availability of parts is excellent.

Insurance premiums will vary based on your location, driving record, and chosen coverage. However, as a luxury vehicle with a strong safety record, the RX 350 is generally competitive in terms of insurance costs within its segment.

Potential Considerations

While the RX 350 excels in many areas, there are a few potential considerations buyers should be aware of:

  • Infotainment System Interface: The primary method of interacting with the infotainment system is through a Remote Touch controller (joystick). While some users adapt to it, many find it less intuitive and more distracting than traditional touchscreen interfaces or rotary dials found in some rivals.
  • Ride Quality vs. Sportiness: While the RX 350 offers a supremely comfortable ride, it prioritizes comfort over outright sportiness. Drivers seeking a more dynamic and engaging driving experience might find the handling a bit too soft, even in the F SPORT trim.
  • Third-Row Seating: The 2021 RX 350 is primarily a two-row SUV. While an RX 350L variant offers a third row, it's quite cramped and best suited for children or occasional use, limiting its practicality for larger families.
  • Cargo Capacity: As mentioned, while practical, the cargo space is not class-leading. If maximum cargo hauling is a priority, other SUVs in the segment may offer more room.

Overall Summary

The 2021 Lexus RX 350 is a highly competent and desirable luxury midsize SUV that continues to impress with its legendary reliability, plush ride, and comprehensive suite of standard safety features. It offers a refined and comfortable cabin that makes for a pleasant driving experience. While its infotainment system's controller can be polarizing, and it may not satisfy the most discerning performance enthusiasts, the RX 350 remains an excellent choice for buyers who prioritize comfort, quietness, safety, and long-term dependability in their luxury SUV. It's a well-rounded package that consistently delivers on its promises.
