What the Critics Say

“The RX's interior design is more modern than the last-generation model, with textured fabric sections on the upper door panels, rich-looking ambient lighting, and open-pore wood trim on RX350 models. The RX500h F Sport Performance features more heavily bolstered front seats, black interior trim, steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters, and aluminum pedals. Cargo space is generous behind the second-row seats, so there's plenty of space for a big load of groceries or several suitcases when road-tripping.” — Car & Driver

“We’re big fans of the latest Toyota/Lexus infotainment system. With a screen up to 14.0 inches in size, the RX offers up a bright, crisp example that can accept multiple input methods. Touch is of course one main choice, but the improved audio assistant makes it easy to ask for directions, which then show on the available head-up display. Wireless phone pairing for both major platforms is a big win too.” — AutoGuide

What’s New For 2024

The RX got a complete redesign last year, so there were no changes to the design or equipment for 2024. There was, however, one major change in the powertrain department, with the introduction of a plug-in hybrid option (click here to read the RX Hybrid Review), which joins the current hybrid and conventional gasoline options to give you a truly diverse set of powertrains when choosing how to configure your RX.

Lexus RX Features

Evolved Styling

There are familiar elements to the design of the new RX, the L-shaped exterior lights and large spindle grille are Lexus design trademarks, but these are presented in a cutting-edge new design. The exterior lights are full LED and the taillights are now joined together with a full bar across the back. The spindle grille has a new look too, one we haven’t seen on any Lexus previously. The body sits lower and has a much more athletic look to it, a hint of what Lexus has in store in the performance department. Inside, soft ambient light bathes a redesigned interior that has an elegantly simple and uncluttered design.

Advanced Technology

The integration of advanced technology was a driving force behind the design of the RX, and you will notice this every time you drive the RX. Triple-beam LED headlights help you see the outside, while thematic ambient illumination provides unobtrusive lighting on the interior. The new Lexus Interface system is available on a 9.8-inch or optional 14-inch touchscreen and gives you access to Drive Connect with Cloud Navigation, Intelligent Assistant, and Destination Assist. Options like Advanced Park and Traffic Jam Assist are available to make for a less stressful driving experience.
