Lexus RX 350 F Sport 2022 Review

Lexus RX 350 F Sport is it any good

RX 350 F Sport – Lexus RX is due for a new model early in 2023, but we drove the RX 350 F Sport recently to have a look at the outgoing model.   2019 Lexus RX 300 F Sport in Deep BlueLast updated in 2019, the RX 350 F Sport hits that sweet spot of size, performance, ride and handling as well as features.

Powered by a 3.5L V6 Petrol engine that provides 221kW and 370Nm, driving all wheels through an 8 speed sports AT.

The F Sport moniker really is for a trim and tune specification, rather than any representation of faster sporty pretence. To clarify it takes around 8 seconds from 0-100kmh with a top speed of around 200kmh.

However buyers will benefit from standard adaptive variable suspension (AVS), thicker engine braces, larger stabiliser bars, active cornering assist and tuned electronic power steering with better responsiveness.

As you would expect from Lexus the interior fit and finish is excellent and the F Sport is a particularly comfortable place to be. The list of luxury, comfort and safety features is way too long to chat about here.

I’ve always liked the RX models, and in particular the F Sport. I wouldn’t pick the seven seat version though.
