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

Following a total redesign last year, there haven’t been a lot of changes for the 2024 model. There was really only one change, but it is a big one. Lexus added a plug-in hybrid version of the RX to the lineup, which we have reviewed separately. Click here to read that review.

Lexus RX Features

Evolved Styling

Elements of the new RX’s exterior design will look familiar, like the L-shaped exterior lights and the spindle grille. But for the new generation, they have evolved. The taillights are full LEDs and are joined together by a light bar that runs across the back. The headlights have a new look and a triple-beam full LED configuration is available. The spindle grille incorporates the body color at the top, a new look for a Lexus front fascia. The RX has a lower center of gravity and the athletic looks hint at the performance options Lexus is offering for this new RX.

Advanced Technology

Lexus didn’t just pack the new RX with cutting-edge technology, that technology has been incorporated in such a way as to make it seamlessly blend with the design and the driving experience. Visibility is improved with triple-beam LED headlights and thematic ambient illumination provides unobtrusive lighting for the interior. There is an optional 14-inch touchscreen with the new Lexus Interface infotainment system. This gives you access to Drive Connect with Cloud Navigation, Intelligent Assistant, and Destination Assist. There is optional Advanced Park and Traffic Jam Assist to help with some of the more stressful parts of your drive.
