The RX 350 continues to dominate as the best-selling luxury SUV in the U.S.** and in 2018 Lexus introduced the RX 350L. With the RX 350L, you get more room and third-row seating. The RX 350L seamlessly maintains the Lexus RX350's silky-smooth ride with remarkable acceleration, stability, and ride-dampening. Not only is there not a bump in sight, but Lexus really emphasizes interior styling and it shows in the luxurious feel of the new 2019 Lexus RX 350L cabin. Once you get behind the wheel, you will feel the Lexus difference.
The Toyota Highlander is a fine three-row SUV option with a strong V6 engine (available on higher trim levels) and it has a pleasant, quiet ride. Like the RX, it is a very safe vehicle having earned a 5-star NHSTA safety rating and advanced safety technology is included on all trims. The Highlander does not have as fun of a ride or as upscale of interior styling however. Lexus is still such an amazing company in terms of reliability, quality materials, and luxury. If you're looking for a more basic 3-row SUV and want to save, then the Highlander may be the better option, however the RX 350L separates itself as a truly amazing luxury vehicle. You really have to test drive the Lexus RX 350 to experience the Lexus difference!
