Generation History

The 2008 RX 350 is part of the third generation of Lexus RX models, produced from 2008 to 2012. The RX series launched in the late 1990s and helped define the luxury crossover SUV segment, offering car-like handling, an elevated ride height, and spacious interiors. This generation received notable updates, including a stronger engine and improved safety features. Designed with comfort and ease of use in mind, the RX 350 quickly became one of the most popular luxury SUVs in North America. It combines Lexus’ commitment to luxury with advanced technology and engineering, making it one of the brand’s flagship models during this period.

Performance and Fuel Economy

The 2008 RX 350 AWD comes equipped with a 3.5L V6 engine producing 270 horsepower and 251 lb-ft of torque, which provides a well-balanced mix of performance and efficiency. This is a significant upgrade from the previous 3.3L V6 engine, delivering both higher horsepower and improved fuel efficiency. Paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission, this engine provides smooth, refined acceleration, which is further enhanced by the all-wheel-drive system. The RX 350’s fuel economy is rated at 17 mpg city and 22 mpg highway. Additionally, the RX 350 has a towing capacity of up to 3,500 lbs, making it versatile enough for light towing duties.

Key Features and Advantages

1. Upgraded 3.5L V6 Engine with Metal Timing Chain: The 2008 RX 350’s 3.5L V6 engine is an improvement over the previous generation’s 3.3L V6, delivering both increased power and efficiency. Importantly, this model uses a metal timing chain instead of the rubber timing belt seen in the older 3.3L engines, which adds to the vehicle’s longevity and reduces long-term maintenance costs. Unlike a timing belt that requires regular replacement, the timing chain in the RX 350 is designed to last the life of the engine, saving owners considerable time and expense.
2. Enhanced Safety Features: With a 4-star NHTSA safety rating overall, and 5-star side-impact protection, the 2008 RX 350 provides peace of mind for drivers and passengers alike. This model comes with standard safety features such as front and side airbags, stability control, and anti-lock brakes, all contributing to its high safety scores and reputation.
3. Luxury Interior and Comfort: The RX 350’s interior features high-quality materials, with comfortable seating for up to five passengers. The ivory leather seats provide an upscale feel, while other interior touches, such as wood-grain accents and soft-touch surfaces, add to the luxury experience. The vehicle also boasts generous cargo space, with the option to fold down the rear seats for added storage flexibility.
4. Reliability and Low Maintenance: Lexus vehicles are known for their exceptional reliability, and the 2008 RX 350 is no exception. With Toyota’s engineering excellence backing it, this model is celebrated for its durability and low cost of ownership. The use of a metal timing chain and robust engine design enhances its reputation as a low-maintenance vehicle, suitable for high mileage and longevity.
5. Improved Fuel Efficiency: The 3.5L engine upgrade not only provides more horsepower but also achieves better fuel economy than previous models. This improvement, paired with the vehicle’s efficient 5-speed automatic transmission, contributes to lower fuel costs and a more environmentally friendly drive without sacrificing power.

The 2008 Lexus RX 350 AWD in Breakwater Blue Metallic with ivory leather represents a blend of luxury, reliability, and performance.
