The side profile also features a slightly curvaceous shoulder line on each side while the rear also receives newly designed tail lights with LED and rear bumper. The rear looks just as good as the front, and the fact that the roof line slopes downward slightly towards the end further adds to the overall good looks of the new RX350. LED technology is also used on the turn signals which are integrated into the side mirrors.
On the inside, it has been heavily redesigned and refined with a centre console that is connected to the dashboard, instead of a separate centre console.
