2024 Lexus RX

Price Range: $48,600 - $69,230

Good

The 2024 Lexus RX continues the brand's tradition of expertly built, quiet and comfortable luxury vehicles. With a relatively low starting price and a long list of standard features, the RX does represent solid value in the segment. But it lacks the performance and cargo capacity of some rivals and stumbles over a few tech features that other manufacturers have down pat.Read full review

Overview

Written by automotive expert Kurt Niebuhr

2/20/2026

The 2024 Lexus RX is the brand's five-passenger midsize SUV. It's bigger and roomier than the NX but smaller than the three-row LX and new TX SUVs. There are now four versions of the RX: the base RX 350, the hybrid RX 350h, the new plug-in hybrid RX 450h+ and a performance-oriented hybrid, the RX 500h. Overall, you'll certainly like this SUV if comfort and refinement are priorities. Lexus redesigned the RX just last year, improving the way it drives. Inside, the much-maligned infotainment system is gone, replaced by a large and easy-to-use touchscreen that puts it on par with the RX's closest competitors. The interior design has also been updated to match but has lost none of the quality look and feel you expect from a Lexus.

Edmunds spotlight: The new 450h+ plug-in hybrid

The big news for 2024 is the addition of the new RX 450h+, a plug-in hybrid version that delivers some of the benefits of EV driving without the range anxiety. It takes the existing RX 350h and adds a larger battery pack that can be recharged at home or on the road in as little as 2.5 hours. With a full charge, Lexus estimates it will provide up to 37 miles of electric-only propulsion. After that, the RX 450h+ operates much like the standard RX 350h hybrid. It does cost considerably more than a regular 350h, however.

Competitors to consider

You have plenty to pick from if you're shopping for SUVs in the RX's price range. In both price point and feel, the Acura MDX is perhaps its closest rival, but the Genesis GV80 is another option with a stylish flair and represents an excellent value. If you have a bit more money to spend, the BMW X5 and Mercedes-Benz GLE are both strong choices. To see where the RX's strengths and weaknesses lie, be sure to read our Expert Rating below.

edmunds TESTED

by the Edmunds Experts

Good

7.8

out of 10

We drove the 2024 Lexus RX on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Performance

7.5/10

How does the RX drive? Our test vehicle was an F Sport Handling trim. While that doesn't add any power, it does come with all-wheel drive, which enabled the RX to hit 60 mph in an uneventful 7.8 seconds. That's only a smidge faster than its V6-powered predecessor but slower than the four-cylinder Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 and more than 2 seconds slower than the six-cylinder-powered Genesis GV80 and Mercedes GLE 450. It should be noted that there is no optional engine for the RX 350, and buyers will need to step up to the RX 500h for more performance.

At 132 feet, outright braking performance in panic stops from 60 mph also trails the competition. But the RX's firm and easy-to-control brake pedal makes it a breeze to stop with full confidence in a variety of situations on the street. The F Sport version might come with a sport-tuned suspension, but with its lackluster tires the RX isn't the least bit athletic on a back road. The capable chassis of the RX allows for confident handling, but we think there's not much benefit to the F Sport.

Prospective buyers concerned about the lack of a V6 engine (like the ones available with previous-generation RXs) don't need to worry. The turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder provides ample grunt around town, and shifts from the eight-speed automatic are quick and well timed. It's a thoroughly modern drivetrain.

Comfort

8/10

How comfortable is the RX? Our test vehicle was the F Sport Handling trim, which includes a sport-tuned adaptive suspension and 21-inch wheels. On the previous-generation RX we thought the F Sport was a no-go due to its overly stiff ride with no real improvement in handling. But this new-generation F Sport strikes a better overall balance even if some buyers might still find it a bit stiff. The F Sport also comes with special seats that have more bolstering but are just as soft and comfortable as the ones in a standard RX. The seat heating and ventilation in our test RX were fast-acting, and the rear seats offered better than average sculpting and support.

Most of the climate control features are readily accessible and easy to use. The three-zone climate system did a good job of maintaining a set temperature, though we thought the center vents were too low to be particularly effective on a warm day. Interior noise levels are relatively low, and while we noticed little to no wind noise, we did hear more tire hum than we expected.

Interior

8/10

How’s the interior? The interior of the RX is a mix of Lexus' superb attention to detail as well as some puzzling and sometimes frustrating design choices. The sharp-looking 14-inch touchscreen display is a highlight thanks to its clean graphics and quick responses. Despite the stunning new interior design, the RX does not have a steep learning curve, and most of its controls will become immediately familiar. Another benefit of the large center display is the crystal-clear backup camera and, if so equipped, surround-view camera system. It makes maneuvering the RX in tight confines a snap.

But the shift lever adopts the unconventional shift pattern used in the Toyota Prius, which had us occasionally selecting neutral when we thought we had drive. Another frustration: the unmarked buttons on the steering wheel. Lexus has cleverly made them multifunctional, but their functions are only shown in the head-up display and require too much focus to perform simple tasks.

The driving position in the RX is easy to tailor to suit a wide variety of body types, and while the rear seating area lacks the generous legroom found in the Acura MDX, there's enough space for most adults to be reasonably comfortable. Headroom is a bit on the limited side, especially for taller rear passengers.

Buying Tips for the 2024 Lexus RX for March

Shopping for the 2024 Lexus RX? Here are some expert tips to help you get the best deal:

Buyers are saving around 11% off the sticker price across the RX trims, which can mean a savings of over $6,000 on average.
Nationwide, there is a variety of inventory available for different trims of the Lexus RX, with a total of 21 new vehicles and 1281 used. It's important to act quickly, as some used trims are selling faster than the average car, like the 450h+ Luxury trim, which averages about 16 days on dealer lots.
We don't have any leasing payment information available at this time.
When considering used models, the lowest dealer display price is around $44,779, providing a potentially more affordable option.

Was this information helpful?

Technology

8/10

How’s the tech? Our test vehicle was equipped with the optional, eye-catching 14-inch unit. Crisp, easy-to-read graphics and quick responses are appreciated, but the somewhat confusing menu structure could use some refinement. Our test vehicle was also equipped with the 21-speaker Mark Levinson audio system. Enormously powerful with excellent clarity, it's well worth the upgrade if you have room in your budget.

Wireless smartphone connectivity is standard but, strangely enough, navigation is not. After the free trial expires, Lexus charges a fee (every two years at the time of writing) to continue the cloud-based service. We had a few issues with connecting to the cloud-based system, even in populated Southern California. The RX's voice controls were slightly underwhelming, mostly due to their slow response times, even though you can do everything from changing the radio station to turning on the wipers.

The RX comes standard with Lexus' Safety System+ 3.0, which includes pretty much every advanced driver aid you'd expect. Response times were on the conservative side but we encountered no false alarms.

Storage

7.5/10

How’s the storage? Being a midsize SUV, the RX offers adequate cargo capacity. The liftover is a bit high, but the cargo area is clear of weird shapes and awkward cubbies. That said, at 29.6 cubic feet with the seats up, the RX trails competitors like the Mercedes GLE (33.3 cubes) and the Acura MDX (39.1 cubes behind the second row of seats). With all the seats down, it's more of the same, with the RX offering far less on outright capacity than its competition.

Inside, the center console opens from either side, and there's a thoughtful storage bin with a wireless phone charger to keep your phone safely tucked away while you're on the road. The door pockets, front and rear, are fairly large but aren't lined with felt, so smaller items might rattle around. Loading a car seat into the second row of the RX shouldn't be too much trouble thanks to easily reachable anchor points and individually reclining rear seatbacks.

Towing, not an expressly common activity in the RX, is less impressive. When properly equipped, the RX can only muster a 3,500-pound tow rating. Competitors like the Mercedes GLE, Genesis GV80 and Acura MDX can all tow far more.

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

Fuel Economy

8.5/10

How’s the fuel economy? The RX is one of the more fuel-efficient SUVs in the segment, with an estimated 24 mpg combined (21 city/28 highway) for the all-wheel-drive F Sport. During our 115-mile highway-heavy evaluation loop, the RX held close to that estimate, returning 25.4 mpg. That's far better than what we've seen from rivals like the Genesis GV80, Acura MDX and the Mercedes GLE.

Value

8/10

Is the RX a good value? With exemplary build quality and a host of standard features, the Lexus RX, even in our test model's F Sport specification, represents appealing value in this competitive segment. The RX lineup starts just north of $50K, putting it in line with the other value leader in the class, the Acura MDX. But when compared feature for feature against vehicles like the Mercedes-Benz GLE, the Lexus RX's value really shines.

Warranties are on par for the class, with the Lexus offering four-year/50,000-mile bumper-to-bumper and six-year/70,000-mile powertrain coverage. Roadside assistance is offered for four years with unlimited mileage, but free maintenance is provided for only one year.

Wildcard

7.5/10

If you're worried about the RX's techy new look somehow signaling a move away from the traditionally comfortable, quiet Lexus experience, you can rest easy. In fact, the RX is simply a much more modern version of its former self. The technology has seen exponential improvement and the powertrain is more responsive without upsetting the driving experience.

The RX does have its foibles (mainly on the tech front), and we're not totally sold on the F Sport version, but it's a far more competitive and interesting option without any major faults. The RX remains a relaxing space to spend your time, and while it's not exactly fun to drive, it is exceedingly competent at everything it does.

2024 Lexus RX trim level differences

The 2024 Lexus RX is a five-passenger midsize luxury SUV available in four different models: RX 350, the hybrid-powered RX 350h, the new plug-in hybrid RX 450h+ and performance-oriented RX 500h hybrid. In terms of standard equipment, the models are similar. Read on for a more detailed breakdown of the RX's standard and optional equipment. Compare the 2024 Lexus RX trim levels in-depth.

Which RX trim does Edmunds recommend?

We suggest getting the RX 350h in the Premium+ trim level. It provides an pleasing blend of luxury, efficiency, technology and value. To that, we'd opt for the 21-speaker Mark Levinson audio system, the panoramic sunroof and the surround-view camera system to make parking even easier.

2024 Lexus RX 350h Luxury 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

Too often a vehicle is judged by automotive "enthusiasts" who dwell on low 0-60 acceleration times and subsequently categorise the vehicle as preferred. After testing several vehicles I selected the Lexus rx350h. Plenty fast, handles exceptionally well, great on gas, oh, so comfortable, quiet, modern and a solid vehicle to boot with high resale value. Automotive reviewers provide an …

Lexus RX vs. Acura MDX

Like the Lexus, the Acura offers excellent value for money even when fully optioned. Where Lexus has dropped its V6 engine from the RX, Acura still uses its venerable V6 in the MDX and it's smoother and sounds better than the RX's powerplant. The MDX offers more space than the RX, as well as an optional third row of seats. Performance isn't the strong suit of either SUV, but the Lexus returns better fuel economy than the Acura. Be sure to read Edmunds' long-term road test of the Acura MDX.

Lexus RX vs. BMW X5

Larger and more technologically advanced than ever, the X5 holds the advantage in interior room, cargo capacity and slightly more well-rounded tech than the Lexus. The BMW is also available with optional engines, offering more performance than what the RX offers. But the RX, even when well equipped, undercuts the price of the X5 by quite a lot of money. To learn more about what it's like to live with the BMW X5, read Edmunds' long-term road test of the SUV.

Lexus RX vs. Genesis GV80

Available with either a turbocharged four- or six-cylinder engine, the GV80 offers a lot of luxury, not to mention loads of style, for not much money. Both the Genesis and Lexus fumble some of their tech features, but the performance edge goes to the GV80, especially when you opt for its turbocharged V6 engine. On the efficiency side, the Lexus returns superior fuel economy numbers with ease.
