2007 Lexus RX Review: One of the Best Used Luxury Minivans, but a Bit Pricey

Gilbert Smith
Apr 5, 2023

The 2007 Lexus RX may just be the most comfortable minivan you’re going to find for this model year. But, with pricing starting at around eight, nine thousand bucks, you might find a lot to love in a comparable Volvo XC90.

Front angle medium view.
likeFilled The Good
The cabin is as close as you’re going to get to a first class luxury flight on four wheels, with movie-theater quality audio, smooth riding suspension, and a fun, responsive engine.
dislikeFilled The Bad
The steering is a bit wide, even for a minivan, and it typically lists at close to $9,000, which is $4,000 more than an almost-just-as-good Volvo XC90.

Is the 2007 Lexus RX a Good Used Car?

  • Overall Rating 8/10 – Simply an excellent minivan all around.
  • Interior, Comfort & Cargo 9/10 – This is about as comfortable as it gets inside a luxury minivan. The only thing missing is a third row option.
  • Reliability 8/10 – Luxury cars are famously high-maintenance, but the RX is as reliable as a Toyota or a Honda.
  • Safety 8/10 – Anti-lock brakes and traction control are included as standard features, which you didn’t always see in 2007.
  • Gas Mileage 7/10 –The rear wheel drive model delivers 20/25 miles to the gallon, city/highway. That’s not bad for a 2007 minivan, but it’s still a 2007 minivan.
  • Value 7/10 – $9,000 is a lot to spend on a car that’s more than fifteen years old, but if you’re the type who is willing to spend $9,000 on a fifteen year old car, this is the one to buy.

Its very nice. Heated seats, runs smooth. Pretty good on gas.
I like how smooth it is. I don't like the radio if you hit a bump it doesn't work. Like the heated seats.

My vehicle has lasted a long time and although has some issues. And it is cute
It has about 113k miles so it is struggling a little right now. Come across small problems a lot with small issues like strange noises or small things such as being able to move the mirror being broken. Otherwise, it is a great car. Goes fast still, is comfortable, is a little old so it doesn't have any cool features but it has lasted through my mom for 5 years then me for 3 years now and some more to go.

The best, safest, most reliable car you can ever get.
Very safe, reliable vehicle. Never had a single issue with it, despite that it is not a new one. The seats are beyond comfortable for my sick back. The sound system is great as well. Love this car despite how old the body is. Will repurchase a newer model next year. Cannot wait.

The color is a light blue, easy to keep clean. Interior is light tan stays clean
Old but reliable, just want a newer vehicle. Something newer past 2009. Sleek modern and easy to navigate. This car is just older, and parts are expensive for Lexus owners. The key fob is shot. Needs to be replaced. The back taillight is cracked. Just want an upgrade soon.

What Do Critics Say About the 2007 Lexus RX?

Consumer Reports had equal parts praise and disappointment for the 2007 Lexus RX. They liked the new engine, the luxurious cabin, and the “calm, tranquil” feel behind the wheel. They weren’t so hot on the wide handling and the lack of a third-row option.

Kelley Blue Book users give the 2007 RX an overwhelming 95% recommendation. Many drivers report buying used models in great conditions, with the nameplate attracting a type of owner that treats their cars with love and respect. According to drivers, major repairs are few and far between, and the ride is smooth and quiet.

Edmunds confirm the first-class cabin experience, the smooth ride, and the “rock solid reliability history,” reporting that Lexus are known for excellent dealer service. They back up CR’s claims of broad handling, and they agreed that the lack of a third row feels like an oversight.

What Common Problems Does the 2007 Lexus RX Have?

The 2007 Lexus RX has just 215 complaints on file with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. 44 of these are for engine problems, with reports of pump failure leading to overheat and total engine failure at under 100,000 miles. There have been no engine recalls.

There are 29 steering complaints on file, with reports of steering fluid leaking from the rack and pinion system. Reportedly, a seal may wear out at under 100,000 miles and leave you without power steering.

Structure complaints make up another 29 of the total, with drivers reporting cracked dashboards around the airbags. Exposure to the sun leaves some dashboards sticky and shiny, as the adhesive used in the cabin construction bubbles to the surface, creating a slick, glue-like appearance that may glare in the sunlight.

The 2007 Lexus RX has just one recall on file, relating to a gas pedals getting stuck in the floor carpeting.

How Long Will the 2007 Lexus RX Last?

RX drivers typically report a lifespan of around 200,000 to 250,000 miles. The RX is notoriously reliable and the engine and transmission are definitely built to go the distance. Major problems with the steering, brakes, and other mechanical components are rare, as well, so a used RX should have plenty of life left in it.

Repairpal estimate an annual maintenance cost of around $447 for 2007 RX drivers, lower than you might expect of a luxury car. New brake vacuum pumps and power seat switches list among the most expensive common fixes, starting at $1,609 and $1,149, respectively.

accountCircle Kevin M

It is reliable. Compared to other vehicles that I have owned, it does not have many problems. I rarely have to get it serviced.

accountCircle Laura T

My car is very reliable and I have not had any major issues with it. I have only had to buy new tires hoses, windshield wipers. I keep up to date with the oil changes... All good!

accountCircle Deborah E

Extremely reliable. Do your basic oil changes and tires rotations and it will drive forever. I have never been stranded with my Lexus rx 350.

accountCircle Diamond K

The Lexus rx is a very reliable car one of the best vehicles I have owned over the years. No issues with the vehicle and it currently has over 200,000 miles on it and it runs so smooth. Great for road trips.

accountCircle Jason C

Very reliable! The only issue I've ever had was a broken water valve but that's to be expected with a car this age

accountCircle Francine D

Not the best gas mileage, but it is not a small car either. Other than that I cannot think of any negative issues.

accountCircle Maureen B

Very reliable. Not any big problems so far. Mainly routine maintenance such as tires, brakes, spark plugs, etc

How Is the Technology?

The 2007 Lexus RX offers good technology for the model year. You’ve got your standard CD player with 8 speakers and a 6-disc changer. What really makes the RX special is the design of the audio system, with the high-end speakers and interior acoustics providing a movie theater-like experience in the comfort of your car.

Safety features in the RX are good for 2007. Anti-lock brakes come standard, and the same goes for traction control and vehicle stability control. For the model year, this is an above-average list of standard safety features.

Is the 2007 Lexus RX a Good Value?

A 2007 Lexus RX is priced fairly. The RX 350 typically lists for around $8,746. The fair market range goes from $7,063 to $9,428, so there’s some negotiating room in there if you know how to haggle.

Spending eight, nine grand for a fifteen year old car might not exactly be the deal of the century. But, the cost of ownership is nice and low, the car is built to last, and it may be the most luxurious ride you’re going to find in a minivan at this price.

Does that mean it’s worth the asking price? That’s up to you. But, if ever you were going to spend $9,000 on a vehicle from 2007, this is the one to spend it on.

What are the Different Models of the 2007 Lexus RX?

The standard Lexus RX is offered in front and all wheel drive variants, with Lexus opting out of conventional trim levels. So no matter which version you go with, here’s what you’re getting:

  • Cloth seating
  • Wood and leather trim steering wheel with mounted audio controls
  • 10-way power adjust driver seat
  • Cruise control
  • LCD info screen
  • Lexus sound system with 6-disc CD player and 8 speakers
  • Dual zone automatic air conditioning

What Engines Come In the 2007 Lexus RX?

  • The 2007 Lexus RX 350 is equipped with a 3.5L V6 engine delivering 270 horsepower and 251 lb.-ft. of torque. This is paired to a 5-speed automatic transmission. You can expect to average 19/24 miles to the gallon in all wheel drive, and 20/25 in the front wheel drive models.

What Colors Does the 2007 Lexus RX Come In?

How Comfortable Is the 2007 Lexus RX?

The 2007 Lexus RX is as comfortable as a minivan gets. Drivers love the smooth suspension and firm seats, you’ve got 55 inches of hip room in the back, and plenty of space to stretch out.

It is missing a third row bench option. But, they offer more legroom for the front and back seats by opting not to include more seating.

How Much Storage Space Does the 2007 Lexus RX Have?

The RX starts you out with 38 cubic feet of storage space. If you fold the back seat down, you can pack up to 85 cubic feet. This puts us nearly into cargo-van territory. You can handle most small-to-medium sized furniture hauls, or pack all the supplies you’ll need to drive from coast to coast.

What Are the Differences Between Years?

The 2007 Lexus RX was the third to last of the XU30, or 2nd Generation for the nameplate, which ran from 2003 to 2009.

2004: New for 2004 was an engine upgrade, bumping the car up to 230 horsepower.

2005: The RX 400h hybrid was introduced in 2005.

2006: A brand new 3.5L V6 engine brought the horsepower up to 270.

2007: A mid-cycle refresh year for the RX, Lexus added a DVD navigation system and voice-based user interface for 2007.

2008: A redesigned grille, new exterior color options, some chrome door handles, and slick graphite-finish wheels gave the XU30 a slick new look.

2009: There were no major changes to the 2009 Lexus RX, but a Pebble Beach Edition with special exterior colors and a chromed grille was introduced.

How Does the 2007 Lexus RX Compare to the Competition?

The best alternative to a 2007 Lexus RX would have to be a 2007 Volvo XC90. The entry-level Volvo delivers 235 horsepower at an average 17/22 miles to the gallon with an inline-six engine, and it typically lists at around $5,000. It’s not quite as luxurious, but it rides smooth, it’s far cheaper, and it’s just as reliable.

A 2007 BMW X5 lists at around $6,000, delivers 260 horsepower, and delivers a comparable first-class cabin experience. BMWs are famously high-maintenance, and Repairpal estimate the X5 should run you about $850 a year, around twice the cost of maintaining an RX.

Being a reliable, efficient, fun-to-drive luxury minivan, the 2007 Lexus RX is hard to beat. With prices in the eight, nine thousand dollar range, though, you might want to test drive a Volvo and see if you really want to spend another three, four grand on a leather steering wheel and an audio system you can’t plug your phone into.

It drives smoothly. It has GPS built in. Seats are leather which is nice and easy to wipe up, however hot on a hot day. It is very reliable and good quality, however parts are always more expensive when something does need to be replaced just because of the brand it is. It does connect to Bluetooth if calls come to your phone, but it does not play your music from your phone through the Bluetooth unless you have a specific cord. It is a great size-not too big to park but no too small for luggage or compared to other cars.

Good car, drive could be smoother. The aesthetical look is good, however later versions of the model are much nicer. Features such as the interior design, roof, wheels, temperature settings, speaker system, and drink holders are present and well made. Later versions have improvements on these features. The most important feature that should be improved is the speaker system. In my opinion the better the speaker system the better the car. The more characteristics or the Audio system in the car, the better. This could include an AUX cord, Bluetooth speaker connection, and strong bass system.

Our go-to family car for all outings!
My Lexus rx400 is a great family vehicle. It has plenty of room for my family of 4, plus all the extras. The automatic trunk opener has saved me countless times while shopping with 2 toddlers. The seat warmers are my favorite feature. The sunroof can be tricky because you have to guess when it is closed all of the way. When you're pressing the 'close' button, the sunroof will close but then start to tilt. I like the hands free Bluetooth option I have for phone calls. All of the buttons I need are on the steering wheel, making it easy to pick up and hang up calls or adjust the volume of the radio. It is a really quiet vehicle and is great at filtering the outside noise. The 6 CD player was great while it lasted. I now have a couple of CDs stuck inside my car and sometimes the 1 that works will play only one CD and then will not load anymore until you turn the car off and back on again. That is not ideal for long road trips. The car gets great mileage and can reach high speeds quickly. It drives like a car but is SUV size. This is our go to vehicle for family outings.

Extra cozy space for everyone
The fuel tank only accepts premium gasoline which is a huge downside on the car. The leather seats get extremely too hot and makes you sweat easily.

It's so smooth whenever it drives. It doesn't feel like you're driving a bigger car!
I love the navigation. It's a new car to me, and I love the leather. The moon roof is great. I wish there was a way to Bluetooth my music and not just my phone calls.

Navigation drawback. Hybrid gets 23 mpg average
Great vehicle. Only drawback is the navigation. 2007 is the only year that you cannot input data while the vehicle is moving, not even the passenger. No override is available either. The vehicle is very comfortable and reliable. Average mpg is 23.

It is a comfortable drive.
My car is reliable, comfortable and luxurious. It is functional and practical for hauling large objects.

It is well worth the money if you plan to keep it a long time
Even though the car is 12 years old, it still runs great

The one most important thing others should know about owning a Lexus is that it drives the same no matter how old it is. My car still feels new.
I love my Lexus, it has been reliable and the dealership makes it easy to maintain and offers good discounts and incentives on service.
