2014 Lexus RX Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
It doesn’t have the cachet of a Mercedes, a Beemer or an Audi, but Lexus keeps coming up with luxury alternatives to those Teutonic titans. A case in point is the eminently reliable and practical RX 350 high-end midsize crossover.
For 2014, Lexus’ pair of RX 350 trims, the Base and the performance-oriented F Sport, each get a few tweaks to profile and cabin. The new “spindle grille” matches that on the rest of Lexus' offerings, while new taillights, leather stitching, a more utilitarian (but still good-looking) center console, and a new steering-wheel design also debut this year. Its 80.3 cubic feet of cargo area (with the rear seats folded) remains, as does its 3,500 pounds of towing capacity.
Again the RX 350 Base trim is delivered with standard front-wheel drive (FWD), while the F Sport comes with standard full-time all-wheel drive (AWD) that again remains optional for the lower trim. Lexus’ AWD system, by the way, returns with power oriented toward the front wheels in normal conditions, standing ready to automatically divert torque from the wheels that slip to the wheels that grip when the flakes fly or the mud thickens.
As the Lexus handle would imply, both trims are well endowed with standard appearance amenities, as the RX 350 Base once more sports 18-inch alloy wheels, a power liftgate and a rear spoiler, while its more athletic F Sport sibling tosses in a sport-tuned suspension, 19-inch alloy wheels, a roof rack, a power sunroof, and auxiliary transmission cooling.
Inside, the Base trim has cloth upholstery, power-adjustable front seats, reclining rear seats and full power accessories, including reverse-tilting, heated, and power-adjustable outside mirrors. Cruise control and telescoping tilt-wheel steering are again standard aboard both RX 350 trims, as are a remote garage door opener and dual-zone climate control. Leather and wood accents and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror also come standard aboard each, with all of this bling bolstered by Enform-interfaced Bluetooth hands-free calling and a 6-CD changer boasting 9 speakers, satellite radio, and a USB port. The RX 350 F Sport, meantime, replaces the cloth upholstery with genuine leather, along with adding heated front seats and memory for driver's settings.
Options, many in package form, include a 7-inch touchscreen display with rear-view camera that will also incorporate the available navigation suite that comes with rear-seat DVD entertainment. Remote engine start, as well as a 350-watt Mark Levinson premium stereo system boasting 15 speakers and Surround Sound can each be added separately, as can an available head-up display and radar-interfaced adaptive cruise control. Also optional across the lineup are the popular Enform-informed smartphone apps.
Returning to power the RX 350 for 2014 is a variable-valve-timed (VVT) 3.5-liter V6 that mates with a standard 6-speed shiftable automatic transmission in the Base trim to put out 270 hp and 248 lb-ft of torque. The F Sport again gets an 8-speed shiftable automatic that saves on gas (18 mpg city/26 highway) while allowing the same power numbers. FWD versions of the RX 350 Base, meantime, are estimated at 18/25, with available AWD versions alleged to get 18/24.
Finally, noteworthy standard safety features aboard each RX 350 include 4-wheel antilock brakes (ABS), traction and stability control, front and rear head airbags, front head restraint whiplash protection and front side-mounted airbags. Lexus’ touted Enform-based Safety Connect emergency communications and assistance again comes standard, as do turn-signal-integrated mirrors, daytime running lights, front fog/driving lights, a post-collision safety system, and a remote antitheft alarm. Safety options available to this high-end ute include the self-descriptive Intuitive Parking Assist, blind-spot warning, and a pre-collision braking system that works with the available adaptive cruise control.

This is a 2013/2014 Lexus RX350 F Sport. GREAT vehicle! The RX 350 safety features are great and score well with NHS. The v6 has lots of power and a smooth acceleration. Few (if any) recalls. Lexus is Toyotas big sibling so you know that you will get the reliability, safety, and excellent build of the brand. Added bonus, there are a lot of Lexus & Toyotas that use the v6 so service & repair should be do-able. The leather interior stands up to the test of time. Added F sport features like a moon roof, paddle shifters, more controls on the steering wheel, BSM and other safety features are awesome! DO be careful tho -- a lot of listings say F Sport but are base models in disguise. Nothing wrong with the Base models-- I just prefer the F Sport. Jun 26, 2023

Yes it’s a midsize SUV that gives you a lot and it’s very luxurious and comfortable. I would recommend it to anyone that’s in the market for that style of car. It’s a little expensive even preowned but it last for very long time.Apr 17, 2022

I am looking for this model year with a 6 CD changer. It is the last year they were an option. I am not pleased that CDs have been phased out of many cars when I have an extensive collection. Lexus is reliable and I like this car RX 350. The infotainment mouse function at center is a bit odd I think but a person gets used to things. Mar 17, 2021

Driving the RX 350 was comfortable and ride smoothly. Soo far no complaint. I felt comfortable and can definitely recommend this car to anyone. Other model I would compare to it is a Benz which I own before I purchased this car. Oct 16, 2020

Loved the car drove nice, ran well. Main issue we could not get together on a deal. Also car had been damaged apparently on the lot on passenger front fender and quarter panel. Not a very good job on the repairs. Also was concerned that a couple of the stories didnt add up from the car lot. We were first told the car was traded for a new Hynduai but CarMax report said it was purchased from the auto auction. There was also about two years of missing time on the CarMax report . Where was the car during this time? Too many things just didnt add up for the poor deal they were offering. Decided to walk and continue our search.Jan 26, 2020

Lexus RX 350 mold/leaky sunroof
i all. First time poster. My 2014 RX350 recently had a bunch of lights come on: Check AWD, TRAC off, and check engine. My wife took it to the dealer this morning. She said that she saw water on the driver side floor (after heavy rain from the tropical storm). Upon inspection, the dealer said that the sunroof water pump is leaking and there is mold in the car. They essentially want to tear a bunch of stuff out for mold remediation. The estimate is for $8800!?!?! Holy crap. I'm not sure how he can diagnose mold from seeing a wet floor mat. I attached the estimate which seems crazy to me. How is a coolant flush and banjo gasket bank related to a leaky sunroof? Any advice on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

I n concerned about some fraud, see notes below.
I am concerned , a person named Sunny, was asking all about my car, but needed to see a picture of the manufacturer's plate on the drivers door, with date of manufacture. Not sure why he wanted that, but as soon as I sent it, he has not responded, I am concerned about some type of fraud. Your thoughts?
