2017 Lexus RX 350 – Redline: Review

Easily the most important model in the Lexus lineup, the latest generation RX offers plenty of positives for buyers looking for a midsize luxury SUV. Just keep in mind that some competitors are sportier to drive but its hard to beat the level of smoothness and comfort that this latest RX 350 delivers on.

I own a 2019 RX350, and is one of the nicest cars I have ever owned.

it actually does have remote start from the key fob. you push the lock button 3xs (2 fast and the 3rd hold for 6-7sec) you will see the lights flash and then it starts.

I own 2009 RX 350. I’m 29 by the way. So I’m a young buyer. Lexus IS my favorite brand. The body rolls were fixed the car play was fixed for 2020.

The Lexus RX is a pretty great vehicle and the interior is so nice and so comfortable and you are right, the leather is so so soft.

[coureurdebois]

Lexus has nailed it with the RX, the styling, interior, features. great product.

This car is beautiful looking car. This generation Lexus executed a flawless design. I had the RX 350L 2019 as a loaner, it did have a lot of body roll. But the car was fun to drive at least for me. The Audio system was amazing. The cabin felt like complete luxury.

This vehicle nails it for me. I got the 2017 F-Sport and love it. If you want a more responsive ride, you get it with the adaptive suspension in the f sport. But I got it for luxury. I have a 2016 Mustang GT for fun. Gives me the best of both worlds.

I really LOVE the exterior of this car Lexus really knows how to make a good looking car

I used to complain about Toyota's FWD 6 speed automatic, but I could possibly be more pleased with this 8 speed automatic. It's geared perfectly.

The Lexus RX is just the perfect luxury SUV and I see why so many people really love this car. If you want smooth, comfortable, quiet, and just pure luxury, the Lexus RX is one of those vehicles for you.

Yeah Rah - Other commentators have not been so blatantly honest about the RX as a cocooning, comfortable, luxury, not-engaging-to-drive SUV with just enough power and torque. There must be enough buyers who don't want to hear the words sport/sporty/engaging - RX sells 2 to 3 times as many as any of the other luxury SUV models. Great review!

[theone]

Thank you for covering the suspension. An important fact MOST reviewers fail to cover.

I had a lot of driving anxiety, especially in heavy traffic until I bought my first preowned Lexus (2010 RX450H) five years ago. YES, this car feels like my home on the road and I can comfortably go kayaking camping in it. That car now has 250+ thousand miles on it. I recently purchased a 2016 RX350 with 69, 000 miles and hope to get at least a quarter of a million miles on it as well. Still keeping my 2010 hybrid as my everyday drive and the 2016 as my night out/travel car. I am definitely and RX fan for life!

Dude, lets correct a couple mistakes here. Lexus does NOT recommend premium gasoline. It clearly states regular 87 octane. Premium won't hurt or help it. It's not a high compression engine. Next, the Luxury Package wood trim does not have "pinstriping". That's laser cut aluminum strips of metal, embedded into the wood and clear coated over.
I have a 2016 RX350 Luxury package (same vehicle as 2017) and love everything about it. The best thing is it's paid for. This is definitely a keeper.

Because of your Video, I bought a brand new 2017 RX 350. LOL. Thank you.

[TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

4:21 that 3.5L V6 starter sound is so smooth 👏👏

[bluesgolfer]

Actually, I was surprised at how well it does handling corners when I drove one.

[davidreyes]

I’m glad it doesn’t have cylinder deactivation and auto start stop. Just introduces more issues

[lnrrdlp]

You should use a body mic. Then your videos will be on par with other car reviewers on youtube! Nice review!

[specialk]

The RX does have remote start...it's hidden. Push the lock button three times and hold until the engine starts. I have this car and I use it regularly.
