How much horsepower does a Lexus RX350 v6 have?

In short: the RX 350 with a V6 historically produced about 295 horsepower. In the current lineup, Lexus replaced the V6 with a turbocharged inline-four that makes 275 horsepower, and there is no V6 option in the RX 350 today.


The question spans multiple model years. Lexus used a 3.5-liter V6 (2GR-FE) in the RX 350 for many generations, with output that varied slightly over time. In the latest redesigns, Lexus moved to a turbocharged 2.4-liter inline-four for the RX 350, altering the power profile of the model and eliminating the V6 option in this trim.


Historical V6 horsepower (RX 350)


The following paragraph explains the typical power figures for the RX 350 when it was powered by the 3.5L V6 across various model years.



  • 3.5L V6 (2GR-FE) used in RX 350 generations before the turbo switch: horsepower generally ranged in the low-to-mid 200s to about 295 hp, depending on year and tuning; torque was typically around 251–268 lb-ft.


Note: Exact output can vary by model year, market, and emissions equipment. If you need a specific year’s figure, tell me the year and trim and I’ll look up the precise rating.


Current RX 350 horsepower and engine options


As of the latest model years, the RX 350 uses a turbocharged 2.4-liter inline-four instead of a V6.



  • 2.4L turbocharged inline-4: 275 horsepower and about 317 lb-ft of torque; no V6 option is offered on the RX 350 in these years.


Hybrid variants (RX 350h) combine different powertrains, offering different total system outputs, but the base RX 350’s power figure is 275 hp with the turbo-four.


Summary


The RX 350’s horsepower has shifted with generation changes. The V6-era RX 350 produced roughly 270–295 hp, depending on year, while the modern RX 350 uses a 2.4L turbo-four at 275 hp and does not offer a V6 option in current production.
