Best 3rd Row Lexus Cars

Three-row SUVs have replaced minivans as the most popular vehicles for people who need more than the usual five seats. Lexus vehicles have always set high standards for comfort and luxury, so it’s only natural that three-row Lexus SUVs provide an upscale experience to everyone on board while also being extremely safe. With three Lexus 3rd Row vehicles available, you’re sure to find the best one that suits you and your family.

The Lexus SUV lineup includes three models that come with three rows of seats. They are:

Lexus LX

If you’re looking for the ultimate three-row SUV experience, the 2024 Lexus LX is sure to deliver. This full-size SUV can seat up to seven people when configured accordingly. While the 11 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row should be enough for you and your passengers’ luggage when going on a road trip, folding the third row of seats will make way for up to 46 cubic feet of space. The LX is capable of towing up to 8,000 pounds, so you can safely carry a large camper trailer or boat on your adventures.

The 2024 Lexus LX is also more agile than you would expect from such a large vehicle. This is mostly due to its powerful 3.4-liter V-6 engine, which can produce up to 409 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque. Despite weighing around 6,000 pounds, the LX only needs a little over six seconds to get from zero to 60 mph.

Lexus GX

The 2024 Lexus GX is fully redesigned and introduces the third GX generation. While it offers similar luxury and comfort standards as the LX, it’s also a highly capable off-roader. This makes it suitable for those who enjoy going on off-grid adventures alongside friends and family without compromising on comfort and convenience. Despite its 349-horsepower V-6 engine being slightly less powerful than the one on the LX, the 2024 GX still has a more than respectable 7,145-point maximum tow rating while being a superior vehicle on off-road terrain.

With the Lexus LX and Lexus GX both being full-sized three-row SUVs, the choice between them is ultimately down to your personal preferences. While both are spectacularly comfortable and luxurious, the LX offers slightly more capability, while the GX tends to work better on off-road terrains. There’s no wrong choice when deciding between these two.

Lexus RX 350L

If you’re looking for the convenience and flexibility that three rows of seats can offer you but want a smaller vehicle that’s easier to drive in city traffic, the Lexus RX 350L may be your best choice. While the standard Lexus LX only comes with two rows of seats, this enhanced version is slightly longer and comes with an extra row. If you don’t need all seven passenger seats, you can choose to replace the second-row bench with captain’s chairs, reducing the seat count to six but improving comfort.

The RX 350L comes with a 3.5-liter V-6 engine that can generate up to 290 horsepower and 263 pound-feet of torque. This pushes it to 60 mph from a standstill in about seven seconds, which is good for a vehicle built with comfort and ease of use in mind.

Interior Features of Lexus Three-Row Models

As you would expect from a top luxury brand, all Lexus 3rd row vehicles come with exceptionally comfortable and luxurious cabins in any trim. Some features you’ll find in all of them include a power liftgate, a sunroof, multi-zone automatic climate control systems, elegant leather upholstery, heated and power-adjustable seats, and much more. Higher trims also come with some unique features. For instance, the Lexus LX offers a center console fridge and a premium Mark Levinson audio system, while the GX comes with special off-road features like a multi-terrain monitor that offers a 360-degree view, specially adapted for off-road situations.

No modern luxury vehicle would be complete without a long list of infotainment features, and the three available Lexus three-row models certainly don’t disappoint in this area. The LX comes with a standard dual-touchscreen interface consisting of a 12.3-inch screen on top of a smaller 8-inch one. The GX has a large 14-inch touchscreen as well as a 12.3-inch configurable instrument cluster. All models come with great-sounding standard audio systems, multiple USB ports throughout their cabins, and seamless smartphone connectivity through Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

Safety Features of Lexus Three-Row Models

Besides being large and sturdy enough to keep passengers as safe as possible in case of an unfortunate collision, Lexus three-row SUVs also come with long lists of advanced active safety features. These help the driver notice any potential road incident and avoid it in due time. Some essential ones include:

  • Forward collision mitigation: Its sensors detect an imminent frontal impact with another vehicle, pedestrian, bicycle, or other objects, and warn the driver. It can also hit the brakes automatically in certain situations.
  • Lane departure mitigation system: It warns the driver if the Lexus leaves the center of its lane without the turn signal being activated. It can also make automatic steering corrections to place it back in its original position.
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning: It alerts the driver if another vehicle enters their blind spot when changing lanes or while reversing.
  • Adaptive cruise control: Maintains a steady speed during highway drives. It also adjusts this speed to maintain a set distance between the Lexus and the car in front.
