RX 350
Starting at $49,950 MSRP, the 2024 Lexus RX 350 base trim redefines what entry-level luxury means. Far from basic, this model impresses with a suite of features appealing to those who prefer simplicity without compromising on the hallmark Lexus luxury. Under the hood, the RX 350 is powered by a 275-horsepower turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, ensuring smooth power delivery. Although front-wheel drive comes standard, all-wheel drive is optional for those seeking enhanced traction and stability.
Standard safety features include the Lexus Safety System+ 3.0, a comprehensive suite of advanced driver-assistive technologies, including adaptive cruise control with curve speed management, forward collision avoidance that detects pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists, and intersection support to mitigate potential collisions with crossing vehicles. Additional safety tech includes a blind-spot monitor, lane-keeping assist, rear cross-traffic detection, lane departure warning with steering assist, lane-tracing assist, automatic high-beam headlights, and traffic sign recognition, making the RX one of the safest vehicles in its class.
On the exterior, the base RX features bi-LED headlights, LED fog lights, and 19-inch alloy wheels that exude luxury and style. Rain-sensing wipers, a power liftgate, and heated side mirrors with auto tilt-down in reverse and auto-dimming features add convenience and functionality to your driving experience.
Inside, the 2024 Lexus RX 350 base trim continues to impress with a modern and luxurious cabin equipped for today’s tech-savvy driver. A 9.8-inch touch screen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto provides effortless smartphone integration for seamless connectivity and entertainment.
RX 350 Premium
For a modest bump in price, beginning at $52,100 MSRP, the Premium trim elevates the luxury experience beyond the already impressive base model. Heated and ventilated front seats ensure year-round comfort, while a heated wood and leather steering wheel adds a touch of elegance.
Memory settings for the driver’s seat, steering wheel, and mirrors offer personalization and ease of use, ensuring the RX can quickly adapt to different drivers’ preferences with the press of a button. The power tilt/slide moonroof floods the cabin with natural light and provides an airier and more open feel to the already spacious interior. A convenient wireless charging pad also comes standard, eliminating the hassle of tangled cords.
RX 350 Premium+
Starting at $53,950 MSRP, this model further refines the RX’s luxury, building upon the Premium trim’s features with extras such as customizable ambient lighting, an enhanced climate control system with a smog-sensing recirculation mode, and seats adorned in perforated leather. It also introduces a larger, 14-inch touch-screen display for an even more immersive infotainment experience.
Exclusive to the Premium+ trim are options for the Lexus Digital Key, striking 21-inch alloy wheels, a digital rearview mirror, and a vivid 10-inch color head-up display. The Convenience Package now gains the Advanced Park self-parking assistant. If you’re an audiophile, you’ll appreciate the optional upgrade to the Mark Levinson audio system, which features a powerful 1,800-watt amplifier and 21 speakers, delivering a concert-like sound experience.

Ultrasuede interior door trim adds a touch of luxury, while the panoramic glass roof invites natural light and enhances the sense of spaciousness in the cabin. On the exterior, the Luxury trim asserts its stature with 21-inch alloy wheels. It also benefits from advanced technology such as the 10-inch color head-up display, ensuring crucial driving information is always in your line of sight. Additional options exclusive to this trim include sophisticated triple-beam LED headlights, complete with washers and adaptive cornering lights.
RX 350 F Sport Handling
For an MSRP of $58,550, the RX 350 F Sport Handling trim takes the RX series to new heights, infusing the lineup with exhilarating performance and a distinctly sporty aura. At its heart lies a robust turbocharged engine from the RX 350, all-wheel drive, and an eight-speed automatic transmission that delivers power with finesse.
