Both the Lexus RX 350 and the Toyota Highlander are classified as midsized crossover SUVs, so they should offer similar dimensions. However, there are some notable differences:

	Lexus RX 350	Toyota Highlander
Length	192.5 inches	194.9 inches
Width	74.6 inches	76 inches
Height	67.7 inches	68.1 inches
Front Legroom	44.1 inches	42 inches

With an ideally compact body style and plenty of legroom for you and your copilot, the Lexus RX 350 enables you to easily glide through traffic while having ample wiggle room inside the cabin.

As you may have noticed, the Lexus offers smaller build dimensions to the Toyota, which grants benefits for drivers! Having a shorter height and width allows the RX 350 to be more compact and aerodynamic. You'll be able to glide through the breeze with ease and save on gas, too, thanks to its 19.2-gallon fuel tank.

The Lexus features a 109.8-inch wheelbase, which allows you to experience more precise turning, handling, and agility. On the other hand, the Toyota features a larger 112.2-inch wheelbase, which delivers less maneuverability on the streets.

In terms of power, these SUVs each come standard with a 3.5L V5 engine that offers thrilling rides. While both models can produce 295 horsepower, the Lexus RX 350 has a leg up with its 268 lb-ft of torque compared to the Highlander’s 263 lb-ft of torque.

More torque on board means you’ll be able to transport heavier equipment easily and efficiently. Plus, when you encounter steep inclines, you’ll be able to make the ascent naturally.

Having this power is great for everyday travels, but what about when you need to take your adventures off the beaten path? Luckily, another feature you’re sure to love is that they’re both offered with all-wheel drive capability. That way, you can travel in nearly any driving conditions.

Knowing you and your family can arrive safe and sound in your SUV is crucial. That’s why both models come equipped with advanced safety features, helping you feel safe and secure while on the go.

The RX 350 comes standard with the Lexus Safety System+ 2.0, while with the Highlander you get Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.5+. There are several similar features found with each model, such as:

• Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection
• Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist
• All-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
• Intelligent High Beams

On top of the Lexus Safety System+ 2.0 and Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.5+, these SUVs also come equipped with additional safety features to help you feel more secure behind the wheel. One of these additional features is the Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert.

Changing lanes and backing out of busy parking spots is a breeze thanks to these additional sensors and alerts. While these features are offered with both models, only in the Lexus RX 350 does this feature come standard.
