The Lexus RX 350 sees several changes for 2018. Most notably, the Enform Safety Connect and Enform Service Connect are now complimentary for the first 10 years of ownership. Both were previously offered with a one year trial.

In addition, the newly available Premium Package (RX 450h) offers luxury and comfort for hybrid drivers and passengers with power-folding auto-dimming mirrors with memory, premium wood trim, leather-trimmed seating surfaces, rear armrest with storage box, driver seat memory, and steering wheel memory.

The focal point of the front is the Lexus signature spindle grille, set off by an elegant chrome-plated surround and standard Bi-LED headlights. The spindle theme repeats at the rear, where L-shaped LED taillights envelop the tailgate and wrap into the rear fenders.

The RX cabin is designed with impeccable details, form-fitting seats, and the available richly finished wood trim that curves gently up from the center console toward the glove box.

Available interior ornamentation includes Matte Bamboo, Espresso Walnut, Matte Linear Dark Mocha Wood, Striated Black Trim, and Gray Sapele Wood with Aluminum. For the Striated Black Trim on the base model, a glossy black three-dimensional embossed pattern is applied to create a high-quality film design with a sense of depth.

The Lexus RX 350 continues to offer its most powerful V6 engine with 295 hp and 268 lb.-ft. of torque. In both FWD and AWD versions, the engine is teamed to an eight-speed automatic transmission.

The RX 450h continues to serve as a powerful reminder of the brand's hybrid leadership, with 308 combined system horsepower for powerful performance and impressive 30 mpg combined EPA-estimated fuel economy. The Lexus Hybrid Drive system pairs the D4-S injection 3.5-liter V6 gasoline engine with two high-torque electric drive motor-generators for strong acceleration and passing performance.
