Low maintenance, gas mileage.
Style, comfort of the seats. Gas mileage. I love the color and the sunroof. I also like the storage I have to transport items.
accountCircle Cam C
Safety and Luxury at an affordable price. Handles well
Love how well it handles when driving and the extra luxury conveniences. Dislike the seat belts and how hot the dash gets in the sun. It radiates off onto the driver and passenger
accountCircle Laurie M
It has all the bells and whistles inside.
I hated the front grill so I did an add on mesh grill. I also did 20' custom rims. Makes the whole SUV look so much better. It is very tricked out. But I do feel as though Lexus is not keeping up with the others in the tech field. But it's handsome sleek SUV.

Lexus: best car on the market.
I have a 2015 Lexus rx. My previous car was a 2002 Lexus rx. I drove that car for 16 years with no problems. When I reached 190k miles, I traded it in few years ago for the 2015. I plan to keep this one for 16 years as well. I have owned other makes and models of cars and none come close to Lexus for dependability, reliability, and comfort. I have never had any major problems with either car. Lexus service is fantastic. Everyone in the service department goes above and beyond.

Great SUV to own and fun to drive
I love the ride, interior trim, AWD, gas mileage, hybrid feature, heated seats and cooling seats, sunroof, stereo, tracking headlights, wood grain, leather seats, cup holders, interior trim and lights, large glove compartment, very low maintenance costs and excellent service department

accountCircle Louise S
Elegant look and feel, quite interior, versatility and interior space.
My rx350 is a luxury crossover with a plush ride, spacious interior and very reliable. It is generously loaded with a v6 engine, heated and ventilated front seats, sunroof, backup camera display, cruise control, lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring and rear seat entertainment center, 12 speaker surround sound. It delivers excellent performance and 8 speed automatic transmission. This vehicle is very reliable and I have had no problems at all so far!

Contains all of the features any person would desire! You will not be dissatisfied!
The model that I have is the Lexus rx350. It is a very smooth vehicle when driving. It has a very comfortable interior as well. Simultaneously, it is a luxurious car as well. It has everything! Problems wise, the only downside is the mileage. It is not as good as my Toyota vehicles, but it is still better than other luxury cars. Despite this, the pros of the SUV outweighs the cons!

My wife's life. Lexus has NOT tried to fix the problem.
1 Star - here is problem with 2015 RX 450H. The passenger seat will NOT sense my wife presence on thevseat because of her weight. In a crash her airbags will NOT deploy. Lexus has NEVER corrected the problem nor acknowledged it.
accountCircle Makeba S
Overall delighted which great handling was better and car tire sensor was better.
Reliable but on the freeway or 60 mph when pressing on the break the car shakes. The car seats are comfortable but if you have a tire issue the car only notifies the tire is low no which tire is low that is a downside. Car is spacious I have moved cabinets.
accountCircle Jan L
Quality and reliability and customer service. .
Great ride, but the handling is to soft. Infotainment system not user friendly. Transmission shifting is sloppy.

I enjoy my car and you would too! Here's why:
I enjoy my 2015 Lexus rx 350. I like the roominess that occurs inside the car. I feel like I am protected and secure on the inside and the outside. I enjoy the body of the vehicle and the way that the car drives. It is very quiet within the car while you drive.
accountCircle Debra F on June 8, 2021
Lexus brand most outstanding. The Lexus brand and service exceeds all others.
I absolutely love my Lexus rx 350. It is the most comfortable car I have ever owned. It drives like riding on air and has lots of power. The seat warmers in winter are amazing. The service of the Lexus brand is so pleasing and helpful. They assign you a personal agent to help with anything concerning your vehicle. The warranty that comes with this brand far exceeds any other brand of car.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Jessica Xa.

Very nice bells and whistles. The leather is so much nicer than other leather I have owned. I love the sunroof. Heated and cooled seats are so nice. For a base model, I have so much more than I would have with a non-luxury base model.

likeFilled Josh M.

Relatable, fully loaded with technology, good on gas, good power, heated and air conditioned seats, sunroof, nice tires and rims, get Lexus premium service. Good on gas mage, luxurious feel, high quality leather.

likeFilled Lori H.

Good gas mileage and does not require premium fuel. Roomy and easy to put down seats. It is a reliable vehicle and easy to maintain quiet luxury ride with heated and cooled seats. Easy control of radio, navigation and temperature using hand control on steering wheel or voice command.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Jessica Xa.

It is too small for our family now. We have a 1 year old with a large car seat plus 2 large dogs. When we travel, we have to put our luggage in the backseat with the baby and our dogs have to ride in the very back.

dislikeFilled Josh M.

Service can be expensive, battery does fast due to all technology, computer systems, lane departure systems. Computer broke once so cat wouldn't start. The navigation can be a pain cause you have to be in park to use it.

dislikeFilled Lori H.

Better in key fob runs requires replacement every 9 months. Requires synthetic oil which is expensive. No separate control in back seat for temperature. If passenger activates separate temperature control, it is a several step process to turn it off, would prefer an easier way to get the temperature in sync.

It was 55,000. It has very good value. . It is very top end. The leather seats have held up quite well. It only has 20000 miles on it. We will buy another Lexus in maybe a year.

It cost about $38,000. I feel it was an excellent value for the amount of vehicle you receive. I would buy it again if I needed a new car.
