Is the 2020 Lexus RX 350L new and improved ENOUGH?

[@La-yt1wr]

This generation Lexus RX350 definitely wasn't meant to offer a third row option. But I will say that they've done a good job keeping the design fresh and I hope they will continue to offer the V6 on the next generation.

[@RaitisRides]

Very good points Lavonte!

Thanks for the review! This is helping me with my decision. I am a petite woman, only 5 ft tall, and did not feel comfortable driving the Pathfinder or Palisade. Atlas was okay. I think this is a better option for me because I only have 2 kids and won’t use the 3rd row often but like the the idea of having one just in case I need it.

[@BrogeKilrain]

Btw I bought the Acura MDX Tech A spec and got $12k off so bought same price as Honda Pilot . Drives great 👍🏼 9 spd is well done now. Seats a bit hard and yeah the infotainment takes getting used to but Appleplay is fine. Not ready for Kia/Hyundai that drops in value like a stone every year

[@stefanb.5154]

Raschaud Farmer it goes by generation. This model isn’t outdated at all. It’s been out since 2016, which isn’t long ago, especially for a luxury car. Mercedes and BMW updates theirs now because the older models were out since 2012. They were actually wayyyy outdated before their recent redesign.

[@joelthorne7434]

Grill appearance is improved but still an eyesore in my opinion. I have read numerous complaints about interior rattling noises, which makes me reluctant to consider buying one.

[@IKhanNot]

That third row is strictly for kids. I was always conflicted when it came to the Lexus RX as the Toyota Highlander always seemed like the more practical choice and with the XLE trim or Limited trim the interior is almost as nice as the Lexus but for a good $10k to $12k less when new.

[@ln5747]

People will come to realise that infortainment was great. Touchscreen with carplay/android auto so what else does one need - 90% of the time everyone just needs a screen to project their phone to - rest of the time its changing the radio station or making a call, which is easy. The trackpad is actually really easy once you get used to it and gives another option over the touchscreen. Physical buttons are so much easier than everything on a touchscreen when on the move - will go full circle back to buttons. Screen is also at eye level instead of the modern thing of having it below eye level on the dash. Only thing missing is wireless Carplay/AA but you can buy adaptors for that.

[@suthius85]

Who is this for? Why did Lexus make this? I wonder/am hoping they produce a legit midsized three-row crossover, that's not an after-thought like this RX is.

[@kubanskiloewe]

WHY all reviewers tell people "there is a CD player" .....its aDVD player with changer for 6 DVD´s ! Mine is always loaded and i like on a rest to look videos and enjoy very very much the real surround sound in the Mark Levinson sound system which you mostly only get out of DVD videos!! Hopefully Lexus never let this down as well as the alu analog clock

[@Combat556]

I own a 2019 RX350L, and that third row is useless. The fit and finish inside and out is excellent. Note: in order to tow you need a hitch, and Lexus will NOT sell and install a hitch unless you have the $165 tow pkg option (they will check your VIN). I installed a Curt hitch for a Thule bike rack only, and the hitch looks factory. Overall, it’s comfortable, quiet and reliable; not fast and fun in the handling dept like the BMW X3M40 that I traded for it. Happy wife, happy life.
