2026 Lexus RX 350: Luxury, Performance & Technology Near Woodland Hills
The 2026 Lexus RX 350 continues its run as one of the San Fernando Valley’s favorite midsize luxury SUVs. Every RX 350 is powered by a 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine producing 275 horsepower and 317 lb.-ft. of torque, paired with an eight-speed Direct Shift-8AT automatic transmission. The result is confident, responsive power for everyday driving around Woodland Hills, Tarzana, and Encino — smooth enough for a relaxed commute, with enough urgency for merging and passing. With seating for five and a refined cabin, the RX 350 balances executive comfort with everyday usability.
Sophisticated Exterior Presence
Design & Stance
The 2026 RX 350 carries a confident silhouette measuring 192.5 inches long and 75.6 inches wide, with a height of 67.3 inches that gives drivers a commanding view of the road. The Standard trim rides on 19-inch alloy wheels wrapped in 235/60R19 tires, striking a balance between athletic stance and everyday ride quality. Bright LED headlamps and turn-signal mirrors round out the exterior, and the overall footprint stays manageable for tight parking around Encino and Tarzana.
The F SPORT Design trim adds distinct visual cues that set it apart from the Luxury trim, while both share the same core dimensions. You can view available colors and configurations across our New RX inventory to find the one that suits your driveway.
