r/LexusRX

Just reserved a rx350 premium plus FWD for 60k OTD. No trade in. Exterior White with palomino. Should I have waited for 2027 model?

Doing some research on possibly buying a 5th gen RX350 gas or RX500h, any current owners can chime in on some questions I have? A lil bit of a back story, my 2016 BMW X5 may get totaled by insurance due to a recent accident, so I am looking at possibly purchasing a new RX, weather it be a 350 gas or 500h, I still havnt decided yet. Coming from a BMW with a sporty and somewhat harsh ride, I know the Lexus will be a lot more plush in comparison, reviewers call it "Lexus sporty", even with the adaptive variable suspension option, it will probably not be as sporty as the BMW is. I guess I am getting old and is willing to trade handling for a more plush ride. Anyways, here are the questions.

1. How is the gas millage for the 350 vs 500h? Currently my X5 gets around 450KM/280mi a tank (70L/18gal), or 14.6L/100KM 16MPG. A mix of around 90city/10hwy driving. I believe even with the 350 gas, I would be saving gas compared to the X5.

2. How is the AWD system(s) in the snow WITH dedicated snow tires? I know the 350 will have a traditional AWD system with a physically connected front and rear axel, but is front biased, where as the 500h uses a electric motor in the rear axel.

3. Does the 500h have a selectable EV mode? I believe it does not as most reviewers do not mention this as a feature. I assume the car will automatically select hybrid or ev mode based on your driving style then?

4. Feature wise, are the triple beam LED headlights a must have option? Does the light output make any difference? If I go with regular headlights, are they LEDs or HIDs?

5. Just like the previous question, is the Mark Levison a must have as well? I guess audio will be a bit more subjective as everyone's hearing and taste in music is different.

I am trying to avoid the 350h and 450h+ as I really do not like CVTs and hybrid (nth against hybrids, I just dont like driving them), and they do not have the F-Sport goodies the 350/500h has. My first choice would be a 350, but the 500h performance is really tempting. If the 500h can be more gas efficient (I know the 500h is not meant to be gas saving, but it is still a hybrid after all) over time compared to the 350 (say 10 years of ownership), then the initial price difference will be worth it. If not, then the performance is really not as tempting when you factor in the price difference.

Trying to decide between the two. Wife is leaning towards RX350 hybrid but I am having a very hard time justifying the $10-15k price difference. I looked at both in person and the fully loaded Crown has many more features for the money. Only advantages about the RX are that it’s slightly roomier, smaller hump under the middle seat, and the rear seats can be reclined. But even with those it seems like the Toyota is the smarter buy.

If anyone here was between RX and Crown Signia and chose RX, what made you do it?

I’m buying a new rx350h 2026, a custom build, I just received a carfax email, it says that my car is estimated to have 380 miles on it. Is that normal? If not how should I handle the situation? I already have a down payment

My 2006 Lexus RX 330 (FRW probably base model) 225623 miles. I went on a road trip roughly 1,000 miles. The “maintenance required “ light came on. Over 100ish miles there was a thumping sound from the front end sounds like engine or transmission . Very intermittent. I scanned the car when I got home with a blue driver scanner. B1400. Google searches are not describing my issue.

I have a 2017 Lexus rx350 but recently the screen in my car glitches. It will go black and then be fine and continue like that. The radio works fine. The screen was replaced and still the same. Mechanics say there’s nothing wrong. Anyone experienced this?

I bought 2 day access for Techinfo (Toyota's official Technical Information System for North America) and downloaded every single file linked to 2016 RX350 and 2022 RX350/L & RX450h/L. Includes repair manuals, wiring diagrams, technical service bulletins, and even some training materials.
