2018 Lexus Rx 350 Interior

The interior buttons of the 2018 Lexus RX 350 are very easy to master. It is a spacious and comfortable place. The way the seating positions are will give one a good feel. There is a huge 12.3-inch navigation screen that is easy to read and even though the tech interface’s Remote Touch joystick has been improved from how it was in another year’s model, it is still not the best.

The whole interior cabin space is just okay. Tall passengers may find it difficult to get in and out of the car easily. The doors are wide enough, though but the doorsills are cut in too close to the seats. The power-memory steering wheel opens up to provide more space for passengers.

The front has enough space and legroom. It is only the back that has just okay space. The headroom and elbow room are not so bad but the knee and toe space can feel a bit cramped for taller people.
