2019 Lexus RX Model Comparison
The Lexus RX originally made a name for itself as one of the first luxury SUVs with a car-like drive and emphasis on comfort over off-road ability. With its birth, Lexus predicted the modern automotive landscape in a near prophetic manner.
Years later, we find ourselves in a land saturated by the crossover SUV. One way that Lexus stands apart from the competition is flexibility- different models are provided for all types of buyers. As a result, consumers find themselves faced with three variations of the 2019 Lexus RX: the 2019 RX 350, 2019 RX 350L, and 2019 RX 450 hL. What are the differences between these three models?

2019 RX 350
The two-row, gas-powered 2019 Lexus RX 350 is lauded for its heavenly ride, high-end cabin, and powerful powerplant. It brings along a delectable combination of high-end quality and premium value. Despite being economically priced compared to many rivals, this luxury SUV does not cut corners.
All-wheel drive is available for each trim for $1,400 extra dollars, though be aware that adding this feature drops fuel-economy estimates by a single mpg.
2019 Lexus RX L
Basically everything said for the 2019 RX 350 can be said again for the 2019 Lexus RX L. Besides adding a third row, buyers of this longer honker get standard leather upholstery, tri-zone automatic climate control, and a power liftgate.
Additionally, buyers can opt for second-row captain’s chairs for an additional $405.
2019 Lexus RX 450hL
Like its brethren, the 2019 Lexus RX450hL boasts a comfortable interior and premium ride. It sets itself apart by adding a hybrid powerplant. This brings benefits to the gas mileage along with speedy acceleration. The 2019 RX 450hL also gets fitted with standard all-wheel drive.
