The RX350 does tend to be more slightly more reliable, and comes with a lower average annual cost of repairs than the NX200t.
Making a choice between these two well-appointed Lexus SUVs is an issue of how much space you need, and what you prefer to spend. If you must have three rows of seating, then the RX350 L makes the most sense. But if two rows will suit your needs, check out both the NX200t and the smaller version of the RX350. They are very close in terms of cargo space, but farther apart in price.
