2016 Lexus RX350 F Sport Review

Affordable luxury is a term synonymous with the Lexus brand, and it’s one that is definitely applicable to the new 2016 RX350 F Sport.In fact, this version of the RX350 might be the pick of the range. And with the smaller NX now opening the Lexus SUV range, the RX can concentrate solely on the incredibly competitive large luxury SUV class. The question is whether it has what it takes to fight the popular European offerings.

With a price rise of just over eight grand from its predecessor, the new RX350 F Sport rings the till from a starting price of $92,000 plus the usual on-road costs. It sits between the RX200t and RX450h in the RX range and is available in three trim grades.

F Sport, which we have in the CarAdvice garage, is the mid-point of the grade options between Luxury and Sports Luxury. All up, RX buyers can choose from three models and seven variants across a broad range – with prices ranging from $73,000 to $106,000.

The F Sport styling package means you get a sharp and attractive SUV that now goes head to head with much more expensive European opposition. Give our long-term NX200t impressed the team, from the outset we were anticipating a quality driving experience from the RX350 F Sport
