Pls, I want to buy any of 2008/9 LEXUS RX330 OR RX350 but both looks very much alike, pls which should I go for and why.

I looked at both cars IN & OUT and are both looking d same, so I'm confused on which 1 to go for cos the price is also almost dsame

Go for either of the two. Same manufacturer. The rx350 is a higher version of the rx330. Different engine size. they are both cool

Thanks MAYOR, what of its inside fixtures, hope they're also dsame

Essentially the same as the 2008/2009 RX 330 but with the addition of a slightly larger, considerably more powerful engine and more sound insulation.

Yes almost same but the rx350 is made of almost formica around its navigation system arena. Same for those without navigation system too. It has got more formica compared to the rx330. The rx330 has a 1GFE engine while the rx350 has a 2GFE engine type making it a bigger engine compared to the rx350. But make sure you get one with a clean title so as to prevent unnecessary issues when using it

What Greek are all you guys saying??
The RX330 and RX350 are the same car...
It's called rX300 till 2003, it changed its name to rx330 in 2004 and to rx350 in 2007...

RX350 has a much more powerful engine than the RX330. The RX330 puts out 230 hp and the RX350 puts out 272 hp. So you get quite a bit more power with the RX350.

There is nothing like 2008/2009 RX 330.. from 2007 it's called RX350.. it's the same car.. it was called RX330 form 2004 to 2006..
Before that it was called Rx300...

Errr! I disagree totally with your post.

Rx330 is a 3.3L V6 230bhp, 238ib-ft ULEV 3MZ-FE Timing belt installed engine matted to a 5speed auto tranny either 4wd or Fwd stated sales from 2004-2006.

Rx350 is a facelift version of RX330. It uses a 3.5L V6 270bhp, 251ib-ft 2GR-FE

All other things are still the same as they are in RX330. No significant change. Someone said they added more sound proof materials, I say no they didn't.

Typographyical error. The rx 350 has got a bigger engine. Thanks for the correction. But the rx 350 has got more formica design compared to the rx330

No, its same level of wood trim interior for both, unless the specific car you saw had custom installation/modification work.

Lol! That's an Aftermarket installation. Trust me. Interior is same in Rx330 04 - RX350 07MY.


Or do you wish I dig up some aftermarket interior MODs?

That wasn't done here in Nigeria though. Wouldn't have looked clean as that

Those panels are abound in ebay.com, and lexus.sewellparts.com. Aussies, Americans, Canadians and JDM harrier owners get them installed on their dashboard. One harrier owner even took off all wood trim and replaced his with carbon fibres, another installed a tray with wood finish and chrome edges above his glove box beneath the airbag deployment area.

There are lots of bespoke non-OEM and OEM tuning and MODs which can be done on lexus as well as Japanese cars.
