Choose the RX 350 Premium for value or the Luxury for comfort and tech

The Premium is the lower-priced trim. Buyers who want more comfort and technology should look at the Luxury, which starts at $63,495 front-wheel drive and $65,095 all-wheel drive.

Both trims seat five and come in front-wheel or all-wheel drive. At Ira Lexus of Danvers, we sell new RX models, so you can start with the trim you have in mind and check it against your budget.

How much more does the 2027 Lexus RX 350 Luxury cost?

The Luxury starts above the Premium in both drive types. Lexus’s published 2026 model year starting prices are $63,495 for the Luxury front-wheel drive and $65,095 for the Luxury all-wheel drive. The Premium starts at $54,950 front-wheel drive and $56,550 all-wheel drive.

The extra cost is the difference between those figures in each drive type. Before you visit Ira Lexus of Danvers, decide which drive type you need and which price fits your budget. Bring that number with you, so the conversation starts with the trim you actually want.

Do the RX 350 Premium and Luxury differ in seating?

Both Luxury trims seat five people, the same count as both Premium trims. Seat count does not separate the two trims, so the cabin difference comes down to the equipment list for the exact trim you choose.

Seating is the first thing to confirm for your passengers. If you carry more people than the five seats allow, these trims will not meet that need. If five seats cover your household, the choice between the Premium and the Luxury rests on price and equipment.

What do you get in each 2027 RX 350 trim, side by side?

Each of the four RX 350 trims seats five people. Starting prices below are Lexus’s 2026 model year MSRP for each trim and drive type.

In each trim, all-wheel drive starts higher than front-wheel drive. Choose the trim first, then the drive type, and compare both starting prices against your budget.

What does all-wheel drive add to a 2027 RX 350 in Massachusetts?

All-wheel drive adds to the starting price of each trim. The Premium all-wheel drive begins at $56,550 and the Luxury all-wheel drive at $65,095, both for the 2026 model year.

The EPA certified figures for the 2026 model year show a small fuel economy difference. The front-wheel drive RX 350 is rated 22 city, 29 highway and 25 combined. The all-wheel drive RX 350 is rated 21 city, 28 highway and 24 combined, 1 mpg lower combined.

For a buyer in Danvers, the decision comes down to the price step and the fuel figures for the drive type you need. Ira Lexus of Danvers can show you both drive types on the trims you are considering.

When is the RX 350 Premium or the Luxury the wrong trim for you?

The Premium is the wrong trim for a buyer who wants the comfort and technology the Luxury is chosen for. The Luxury is the wrong trim for a buyer whose budget ends at the Premium’s starting price.

Start with the starting price for the drive type you need. If the Luxury figure is above your budget, the Premium is the trim that fits. Premium buyers still get wireless phone charging as standard equipment on the front-wheel drive model.
