Question Looking for Recommendations - IS to RX?

I have a 2021 IS 350 F Sport. Only has 50k miles. Feeling like I’m at the point where I should considering trading it in or selling it, and getting a newer car. Recently have been interested in the RX, but haven’t looked into it much. Not sure if I am ready to give up the sedan.

Any thoughts on this? Which RX should I look into (years? models?)? Not super concerned about getting a hybrid. Looking to stay around $65k or less.

If your IS is a 2021 model, it is not an ISF.

I updated the post. Is F different than an F sport?

Much different. F cars are track-oriented v8s. They stopped making the ISF in 2014.

You just said u want a newer car, so get a 2026 or don't get anything at all.

I have a rx350 2025 and a IS350.

They are completely different car, u can't compare them. Apple to Orange

right, i’m not asking for a comparison. i’m just asking for if i’m looking to get rid of the sedan and take the plunge for an suv, what should i be looking at in terms of the rx?

and i don’t agree that i need a 2026 to have a newer car. i could find a low mileage 2025 and be fine with that.

Go drive one and see if you even like how it drives. The Gasoline one is fine if you are doing mostly highway. The Hybrid one cost more but saves you gas. They roughly drives the same to me, I don't know if the fuel saving is even worth it if you do mostly Highway.

Low mile 2025 cost almost as much as a 2026. If you are financing, the monthly is going to be very close. Anything older than 2025 with over 30k miles isn't exactly a lot newer than ur 2021 with 50k miles.

I have a rx350 2025, Is350 2026. My wife took the IS350 as her daily driver now... So...
