2010 Lexus RX 350 Review - 268,000 Miles! Is It Reliable? 

My wife and I have the 2010 RX 2WD. We bought it new in 2010 and take very good care of it, now we have 165k miles on it; it runs and looks like new. Other than tires, filters, fluids, wipers, brakes and floor mats everything is original. I have people offering to buy it from me all the time. I want to keep it until it’s 20 years old, even if I have to put a little money into it, it’s worth it.

You're allowed your opinion about its looks but I absolutely love the body style. To each his own. It was, and still is, a great vehicle.

The one thing I love about the lexus RX350 is the joystick for the screen make u feel like u in 2030 u don't need to touch the screen u have a joystick and everybody I give a ride loves it, best thing lexus ever created was the joystick for the screen

Great review! 2010 owner here. Several months back I hit 100k miles, just hit 110k and it hurts me.. comforting to know it still has plenty of life left in her 😊

Bought my 2010 RX350. 150,000 miles on it now. Love it. Having ALS, I love the mouse. Living in MN, great on snow.

I'm so glad you did the RX. I've been crushing on these for a while.

Wow! And I thought my 2010 RX was in great condition. Because to me it still drives like new, but mine has only 136,000 miles on it! but this one looks like a cream puff! Definitely got to give respect to Lexus with their 2010 RX! I still enjoy taking mine on road trips😎

My RX is at 165k and I plan to take it over 300k. No issues ever on it

My 2010 RX 350 is at 319,000 MILES !!! Original engine. Original transmission Original AC. I have been on time for all my service and I believe that is why my SUV is still running incredibly well. The engine is still super quiet. The suspension is still tight. The leather seats are still perfect. No deep cracks or damage. The black has not faded. No rust ( I had it rust checked every year /each fall) All electronics still work perfectly. My screen has NOT turned yellow. I plan to keep this vehicle as I now want to know just how far/how many miles she can go. The dealer told me (when I purchased it) that if I cared and maintained it per schedule, that “it would last to 250,000 miles or more “ He was not lying!! I will absolutely keep this one but I will also buy another Lexus RX 350… based on how amazing this one has been to me.

Our 2010 RX350 had 136,000 on it was a one owner traded to the Lexus dealer very well kept Silver car and the interior was very clean . My only complaint is the ride noise going over expansion joints less than a 1/4" wide other drivers said they noticed that also, now on very good roads ride nice and quiet. I bought the Lexus for the ease getting into the car for my wife mainly for that reason our GMC Yukon is impossible for her to get into due to the height

My 2010 Lexus RX 350 just hit 100k miles and still looks fantastic. I am looking forward to many more miles. Your review was spot on.

Love your reviews and the way you do them. It's nice to see "new" reviews of old cars!

I love the mouse pad. I got used to it in like a week and have no issues.

I have a 2011 rx350 that we bought new and it has 230k on it. Runs and looks great and we've never had issues with it. Take care of these vehicles and they'll last a very long time. Amazing build quality.

Great vid👍🏽

I had a 2010 RX 450h then traded it for a Highlander Hybrid thinking I'd use the 3rd row and got sick of it and just got another 2010 RX 450h. Gonna keep this one for road trips to not worry about Superchargers. There is nothing much lux about Teslas compared to this Lexus. And with the hybrid, you feel like an electric car on city streets and parking lots. Timeless shape from back, too. Rented a 2022 Highlander (which drove exactly the same as our 2012, not good on sweeping wet highways) to drive to Vegas and it was nothing compared to our sublime 450h, so we agreed to look for our older Lexus. Testdrove samples that had up to 220k and all the engines felt tight and smooth. Amazing.

I just bought one tonight at carmax with 76k miles!!

It was a nice review! I love the RX so much. 🥰 But I hope you can review the RX450h from the years 2010 to 2015.

The center locking dif can be beneficial for those of us in the snow climates.

I love my 13 rx350 updated headlights better interior in my opinion led taillights I don’t mind the media system once you get it down it’s alright

I’ve taken my 2013 rx350 off road on some pretty interesting trails, it did amazing on dirt trails with snow, I would confidently drive it off-road if I had to, pro tip is to turn traction control off via the “pedal dance” if you start spinning the tires off road, the car will cut all power to the wheels which can lead to you getting stuck. Edit: it is important to mention I have AWD, I can’t imagine the 2WD would do as good.

My RX and SC 430 seatbelts went that colour too, was so hard to get clean

Wow and I was thinking of getting rid of my 2010 rx350 with 111k miles because some stuff might start going, but now Im more confident in keeping it a few more years and miles.

I love the joystick and use it very frequently, especially while driving. The vehicle is a good offroader. I have taken it offroad here in Nigeria many times. No issues. It is most reliable.

The infotainment mind as well be an old school game boy LOL that green and black awful screen we all loved haha

Now that you have done an RX you should do a 90's era Lexus LX 470 (AKA the Lexus Land Cruiser)! That would make for a pretty neat review since I haven't seen too many people talking about them!

5:57 if you replace the factory screen with a 10.25" or 12.3" display, that display would be a touchscreen & it would give you Apple CarPlay & Android Auto. And if you get that touchscreen, then you don't have to deal with the Remote Touch controller

You should review a 2011-2015 Lincoln MKX & 2010-2016 Cadillac SRX since they both completed with the Lexus RX during this time period

How much did it sell for?? I have a 2006 RX 400h….runs get…..I have 223000K on mine…it was my moms and she left to me…looked up the KKB…I’m keeping it!!

Please do a video of the Q5 or x3 with over 250K please. Thank you.

I'd much rather have that joystick than the touchpad or knoba on other cars. I love mine.

2012 RX350 128K and going strong.

I have this same model and I love my car. The worst thing I hate about this car is where the usb plug is located in the console. Charging cell phones is a pain.

The rattle is from the steering wheel column. There is a shaft that adjusts the steering wheel that is loose. It costs about 1/3 of the value of that car to fix it. I replaced the column in my 2010 RX.

Seeing as WW3 has started did you in fact run for the Lexus?

There were a couple of Lexus hybrid crossovers of about this one's age used as NYC taxi cabs. Toyota's hybrids are admittedly as reliable as the sun rising, but the consensus was that yes, Toyotas last.

Is the Lexus RX 350 F sport 2013-2015 with the 8 speed transmission reliable too or only the 6 speed?

As for the joystick, that's weird. Because my 2012 GX460 with the exact same software uses a touchscreen. In 2022, it still does.

Yay! I have always wanted to see you do an older RX

I picked up a 08 should have looked for a 2010. Cause it has a key instead of push start mode.

2 questions: 1) Are all four windows not automatic? (From the driver’s window, I mean.) 2) Are those headphones (for the headrest screens) wireless?

You ever had problems with the stereo turning off and on

I actually like the look of these, I want so many cars but you can’t have them all lol

At 180k now I’m going back to school I plan to keep it until after I get my Masters

Those seats have def gotten new leather. Look at the headrests. Those are super aftermarket. Lol

We bought a used 2010 RX 450h almost 3 years ago with only 56k and have since put 54k on it and there hasn't been any issues other than a leaky radiator. Other than service maintenance, it's been solid. Plan to drive it until it dies. I know it's the hybrid version so there could be battery issues. Does anyone have long term issues with the RX 450h?

Could someone tell me why the wood colors are different - like steering wheel and middle compartment two different colors??

Love mine ❤

My 2010 Lexus rx350 has 200k it is so reliable this car is a beast. 195k starter battery. Spark plug.transmission fuild. Water pump. Rear shock. Lift gate lift hood

Those tv screens on the headrests are aftermarket it does not come with those

Im about to buy a SUV for work but I’m debating between a 2010 Lexus RX350 or 2011 Toyota Venza. What do you recommend better ?

Toyota/Lexus have been the most reliable cars for decades. If you want a car to last, especially a used car, there's no better option. Sure, the RX is a little boring to drive but they look fantastic and have great luxury options.

268.000 miles is 431.304 km c.a , did he really travel so far ?

I just bought a 2010 RX350 with 230,435 KM, should it be trusted for every drive? And easy to fixed car?

I have 2011 RX350 and had only 56K miles.

Use oxyclean on seat belts or buy replace them. It has 300,000 like you said

I test drove one today and was just wondering if they run on regular or premium gas

Whoa 268k... Mine is at 210k, I thought that was high.

Adult straight male here. I think I 2010 - 2015 RX350 looks gorgeous.

i’m thinking about getting one with 143,000 miles this week wondering if i should purchase it.

I have a 2010 black Pearl 350RX and I have to say when I go to the gas station people walk up to it and ask what it is and go wow great looking car. It is always garaged because the sun will tear up Lexus leather interior. What problems have I had at a 110000 miles absolutely none. I'm going to keep it because I don't like the way the new version drives in comparison.

If you put anything other than a cup in that cup holder, you get a ticket

Mine has 218,000 miles. Time for another timing belt. Wonderful car.

My 2010 just turned over 200K and then promptly rewarded me with a failed alternator. No easy job to replace either. I change the oil myself every 7000 miles with full synthetic. Uses almost nothing. Expect to replace the evaporator coil as it corrodes and leaks at the bottom from poor condensate draining. This could be a $3000 to $4000 bill, maybe more. I replaced it myself. What a job. Uggg. Also HVAC damper motors can be a problem, but this is true of any car. Hood dampers will also need replacing and likely the rear. The drivers seat in the car you reviewed would have been reconditioned by a detailer. It would not be in that kind of state after 268K unless it had a cover. I can see in the top right shoulder it's likely true condition. Finally I absolutely hate the seats. Very uncomfortable. I have to use an addition lumbar pad, otherwise my leg goes numb on long drives. The seats in my 2012 F150 are more comfortable. Average fuel economy is about 19, maybe 22.5 on the highway, although you might be able to eek out more with a light foot. Overall it has been a great vehicle.

My 2010 RX has 153,000 miles. My alternator went last week and the replacement cost $750. Last year I had to replace my control arms, which cost $1100. Other than that, just oil, and tire and fluid maintenance. BUT.... my biggest complaint is the ride! I live in AZ so the roads are pretty smooth and I feel like I'm in a stage coach!!! I feel every single pebble! My sister also has 2010, lives in NY and has the same complaint. Why is no one else complaining about this? It is the reason I want to get rid of this car. The ride is so choppy and unpleasant. My sister gets car sick in hers. Let me know!

They do not use the 3.5L in the Tacoma lol. They use in Camry, sienna and rav4 then they use the engine on the Lexus vehicles es350, rx350, gs350. I worked at Lexus toyota for 14 yrs lol. So not barking at you just stating the facts with proper information but understand you said this was your first Lexus review

Aight if I ever buy an RX I'll make sure to lift it and put it on 37s 😂

Let me move in somewhere and the HOA tells me to “stop flexing on the neighborhood” they gettin decked right then and there

i feel like mine at 150k just finished breaking in :)

Hey! It does Not matter how many Miles! you put on one. As long as you keep it simple. Regular Oil changes brakes/ tires and this thing will keep on going and going (think the Energizer rabbit on steroids) and If you do know and for some reason you like this car and want to keep it! drive it for years to come. there are fully rebuilt Engines. Available (Full guaranty for up to 25.000 Miles) installed for less than $3 grand depending on which state you are in. anything goes wrong? it's covered 100. % is like driving a band new car! why pay for a newer model? which these days a used one can reach upwards of 25 thousand depending on the year? the 2011 to 2015 has all the gadgets and whistles one wants plus it's a real nice ride on the Highway. the one I Bought is on the brink of 250 thousand miles and running strong! But if ever needed. a replacement Engine? would pull the trigger on it. I like this car that much.

24,447 a year avg. dear god!

I still havent been in or driven a mk3 RX

I was waiting for the review to see what the joy stick was for and you didn't say anything😢

Hey I noticed you do not rate the cars anymore?

I'm looking at one with about 170,000+

I might be wrong but wasn't it Lexus who pioneered the Luxury Crossover? To that degree I think the design is iconic even if it looks more generic now that most Manufacturers have adopted this style.

I just bought one now base on believe😂

People that drive a Lexus wouldn’t use your huge green bottle. Go get a truck if your that type.

Air conditioner tarmostan cont off not pick up again , u we off it back and on it pls l need your help

Audi or BMW will not Outlast a Lexus!

Do anyone knows where is the usb port ?

Actually all windows are auto one touch !!!

Not only do the front seat belts need a bath but so does the reviewer and his shirt

Lexus is unbeatable ❤

The dark seat belts might be due to flood damage.

You have to sacrifice one Karen per ten thousand miles.

Not a fan of that infotainment either. My wife’s CT has it

If you don't like the lines on the rx350 then you don't get to talk about car design my friend.

All the windows are auto one touch

3:55 they’re all auto

I'm interested in knowing if the transmission fluid had ever been changed on this car. Toyota has referred to the WS fluid used in this and similar cars as "lifetime", and made it a royal PITA to change. I have heard of similar Toyota transmissions lasting 200k+ on the original fluid, but they can be hit or miss.

2GR OP

There is NO WAY that is the original drivers seat

really? only premium gas? for this 2010 vehicle in 2023?

U need to change TPMS

Cant believe you said the Lexus isn't anything special to look at. The thing looks like something from a sci fi movie. It screams futuristic. To make it any more sporty you would have angles of a corvette. Sometimes people mistake Class and elegance for aggressive sexy. Shallow people wanted Ginger from Gilligan's island~ I always thought Maryann was the perfect package of wholesome, feminine and Class. That's the kind of girl to bang in the bedroom. You want something aggressive? Buy a junk Chrysler. You want Sexy Classy dependability for a l;lifetime ~ GET A LEXUS

268,000 miles… Edging 300,000 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Oh this makes me so randy bb

the lexus rx 2010 2012 2013 2015 is worst

I am looking for one, please contact me
