Critics and drivers alike are taking notice. Car and Driver highlights the RX’s modern interior, noting, “The RX’s interior design is more modern than the last-generation model, with textured fabric sections on the upper door panels, rich-looking ambient lighting, and open-pore wood trim on RX350 models.” They further emphasize the practicality and comfort, stating, “Cargo space is generous behind the second-row seats, so there’s plenty of space for a big load of groceries or several suitcases when road-tripping.” This blend of luxury and utility makes the 2024 Lexus RX 350 an ideal choice for discerning drivers.

AutoGuide praises the user-friendly technology, particularly the infotainment system: “We’re big fans of the latest Toyota/Lexus infotainment system. With a screen up to 14.0 inches in size, the RX offers up a bright, crisp example that can accept multiple input methods.” The seamless integration of technology is a key aspect of the RX 350 experience, as they further point out, “Wireless phone pairing for both major platforms is a big win too.” This focus on intuitive and advanced tech ensures the 2024 Lexus RX 350 is perfectly tailored for the modern driver.

The headlights also receive a fresh design, with available triple-beam full LED configuration for enhanced visibility and a signature look. The spindle grille integrates seamlessly with the body color at the top, presenting a novel and cohesive front fascia that is distinctly Lexus yet refreshingly modern.
