2019 Lexus RX 350L - Stretched To The MAX!

The best-selling luxury vehicle in America offers plenty of reasons for buyers to take one home. For years, the #Lexus #RX350 was comfortable, luxurious, smooth, practical, and easy to live with. However, those families needing an extra row of seats have always had to look elsewhere. Lexus realized this which is why they stretched the current RX by 4 inches and introduced the #RX350L for 2018. However, those families who may actually plan to use the 3rd row for carrying things other then very small children may want to check out its more spacious competitors.

[@michaelrocks1529]

You can remotely start the car through the key fob by pressing the lock button twice and then holding it the third time until the turn signals start flashing and that car will than start. We have a 2018 RX 450h and it works fine with that sequence.

[@a.kblur04]

I absolutely love what Lexus is doing, and this interior is amazing. Love the gauges too! I'd buy this without hesitation.

[@niklow99]

Ours is almost at 100k. No issues. I regret not buying the hybrid though. He is correct, its not a sports crossover, but a superb family car. If anyone is in market, i would follow his advice and wait for a big refresh or the new generation. Have talked to an owner of the 3 row, while they enjoy the rear space increase, his comments was the 3rd row was even tight for his 8 year old.

[@eleanormassaro5195]

SuperS929 M I also agree with Sofyan’s opinion of what it’s like driving an RX every day. I’ve been driving my RX for 8 years and I have almost 107, 000 miles on it with no issues. A lot of people think the RX is a boring car and a boring driving car but just like Sofyan says it makes you feel pampered and protected from the harshness of the outside world. Well said! That’s why this car sells so well!

I REALLY like the gauge cluster at 6:25. I disagree that the gauge cluster looks dated.. This is a really nice gauge cluster- its simple, traditional, easy to read. I think too many are going to a full LCD displays that look so gimmicky and fake (like a video game) and most LCD's are not very easy to read.. I don't want some LCD animated light show.. When I am driving a car I just want something that's easy to read and gives my the info I need to know at a glance... I need quick info so I can keep my eyes on the road and this RX 350L gauge cluster looks great, and I wish others auto/SUV manufacturers would use a more traditional gauge cluster like this.

I like the seating layout. It's similar to a mini-van (2 front, 2 middle, "3" rear). I think the Buick Enclave does it better, however. More space, and the third row bench is designed for 3 passengers.

[@TheBjjninja]

Third row is very useful. Some people have kids you know...

[@axr2000]

I don’t understand how you appreciate no exhaust tips on this because it’s not a sport trim , but when the MDX didn’t have it it was a huge problem... and it didn’t have a sport trim at the time.

[@BlindMango]

Hey Sofyan! Here's the Lexus key remote start secret sequence: Lock, Lock, Lock (Hold). So press Lock 3 times, but hold it for 5 - 10 seconds on the third time. This will work so long as the remote start app has been activated and has been a thing since ~2015 for all Lexus models. I've heard sometimes the press vehicles work too

[@KSSBG]

[@dygardion9130]

I don’t see why Lexus just didn’t wait till the next generation to add the third row option This is a joke and I like Lexus

[@johnluu1106]

It's a way to prevent losing sales to competitors for a few years. But honestly it's better to have the option than not. My parents just bought it and they just use it for a huge trunk. It's almost the same price as a regular two row so why not

[@siseesan3147]

The Volvo XC90, Acura MDX and Infiniti QX60 offer much more space than this . Plus Lexus should’ve tested it out more like put an actual adult in the third row and record the measurements to add to the vehicle

[@noahkeepsrecording]

your description of being in the third row was so iconic

[@ftnppg1272]

Hey Lexus. We dont want a third row! We want a F model RX called the RXF with a 417 hp v8 and all the stuff from the f sport package. Also why did it take so damn long to get rid of that mousey joystick control in the center console? 2014 Is 350 2016 Rx 350 1987 944 Turbo

[@joshualsweet]

You were very kind about your analysis of the third row. Why even invest the R&D if thats the best they could have done. Hope they get it right with the next generation (or drop the third row and have people upgrade to the GX)

[@suthius85]

Personally, I say keep RX 5-passenger and come up with a completely new midsize 3-row 7-8 passenger.

[@juanzingarello4005]

This car (RX-L) is a huge disappointment and I was really looking forward to a 3-row Lexus. I was hoping Lexus would have made a proper 3-Row CUV like a whole new vehicle or stretching the wheelbase on the RX and instead they did a cheap afterthought fix to throw it out into market ASAP. They stretched the rear (not even the wheelbase) and threw AC controls in the unusable 3rd row instead of the 2nd-row where it gets used more. The end result is a 3rd-row seat that barely even fits kids. You can't get a panoramic sunroof on the L because well, cheap afterthought fix so they needed to leave it out to maximize headroom. The only thing I prefer on this RX-L is that the captains chairs are a standalone option which is how it should be. Other vehicles shove the captains chairs down your throat when you go for the loaded trim. But in terms of getting a useful 3-row for kids, I have to stick with the Acura MDX. This is not what I asked for from Lexus.

[@TheCobruhAlienat0r]

Or just get a Toyota Sienna. If you regularly carry more than 5 people just get a minivan and be done with it. That way everyone will be comfortable instead of everyone having to compromise on leg room to make room.

[@juanzingarello4005]

@@TheCobruhAlienat0r I hate to break it to you man. But some people (actually most people) wouldn't be caught dead driving a minivan. Also, I have owned minivans before. An 88 Dodge Caravan and a 94 Plymouth Voyager. Yes they are roomy and comfortable. But newer minivans lately are way too big and guzzle just as much gas as CUVs. Where I live, a NYC suburb in NJ, parking is tight. A minivan is just not practical. I don't use it too often but use it enough times in a year that I need one. For me, I think the most practical thing would be a larger 3-row CUV with a useful 3rd-row. That leaves my options with a Chevy Traverse, Buick Enclave, Honda Pilot, and Subaru Ascent. Leaning towards the Pilot Elite. There is also the Lexus GX but it is a gas guzzling V8.

The third row is for kids ages 3-6 I feel. I've gotten in it. Its really cramped.

[@juanzingarello4005]

That's useless. A 3rd row should atleast seat kids up to 13 years old.

[@frooz442]

It's already useless given the fact the even if you do have kids, you're most likely gonna put them in the 2nd row anyways and not the 3rd row, that is unless you have 3+ kids, and it's still not smart to the L models of the RX since it's still cramped, probably even still cramped for a 7 year old lol

[@juanzingarello4005]

@@frooz442 Most of the times yes. But where I fail to see the logic in this barely useable third row is that children are required to sit in a booster seat until the age of 8. If that third row is cramped for 7 year olds, how is that seat even useful? And you are right, I would put the kids in the 2nd row most of the time since its 4 of us but my in-laws stay with us 3-months out of a year. Those times the 3rd-row is put upright and used. This is where I do like the RX-L where Lexus doesn't shove captains chairs down my throat. Most times I keep the 3rd row flat and use it as a 5-passenger. But when extra adults ride, the 3rd-row comes up and I seat the kids back there.

Hey Sofyan, In your opinion what is the best sub 50k compact and midsize three row suv for 2018?

[@ichigouzumaki324]

A $50k plus vehicle and it doesn't have a dedicated remote starter button on the key fob. It was a nice review as usual but this vehicle left a lot to be desire for that price tag. The 3rd row seats was just added just to be add it. By the looks of it is not that useful. At least you get a bigger cargo area once you put the 3rd row down. If the front passenger moves the seat forward it will give the 2nd row more leg room if there's a 3rd row passenger. The 3rd row passenger on the driver side is not so lucky since the driver can only move so much forward to drive comfortably. About the lack of a dedicated remote starter button on the key fob is my biggest complaint on my 2018 Toyota Highlander XLE Hybrid. Followed by the short range that the key fob has to lock, unlock and remote start the Highlander, hopefully on this more expensive vehicle the range is better. I find that to be doubtful since it's from the same parent company.

[@TheCobruhAlienat0r]

I'll never get the point of 3 row SUV's, the third row is almost always cramped and unusable for anything more than a short trip. If you need to carry more than 5 regularly just get a Toyota Sienna and be done with it.
