Does anyone know if the Lexus RX350 has a belt or chain and also does it come with air suspension or not?

RX350 is chain driven no cambelt. I do not think any had air suspension - someone will correct me if I am wrong.

It is the series II hybrid that doesn't have air suspension (400h). Both the RX300 and RX350 in SE-L grade had air suspension. If you want to avoid air then get the base RX350 or RX350 SE grade.

More SE-Ls were sold than LEs, and there are still more of them on the road today. SE was the most common grade sold.

Here's one, and in the final picture you can see the height control switch.

I wonder if the dealer knows it has the ICE system installed as they don't show it. They probably never looked under the cloth headrest covers.

from howmanyleft.co.uk - it is accurate as of the end of 2020. The data comes from the DVLA so should be completely accurate but doesn't really matter, it's just a guide.

Here's the spec of the three launch grades:

and then what the LE adds to the RX350 grade:

Thank you.

How come these cars don't have front and rear parking sensors that beep?

Parking sensors were a dealer-fit option, not factory fit, or so I believe anyway.

Correct, just a Lexus rebadged non-integrated third-party system fitted by the dealer.

It wasn't until the series III RX that parking sensors were factory fitted, and integrated into the vehicle so the warning appear on the dashboard etc.

If you have one with a reversing camera then I don't think you need the rear ones. Would be handy more on the front as it's not always easy to tell where the bumper ends but you soon get use to it over time.

Never used my front sensors - only to see if they work!
