2025 Lexus RX

The RX is Lexus' five-seat midsize SUV, sitting between the compact NX and the larger UX and TX in the automaker's lineup. The RX was redesigned for 2023 and added a plug-in hybrid to its lineup a year ago, so we're not expecting any significant changes for the 2025 model year. The RX is a comfortable SUV that is pleasant to drive and, following its redesign, has an infotainment system that's far less frustrating than what it replaced.

Edmunds spotlight: Plenty of powertrain options

You can get the Lexus RX in many different flavors. There's the standard gas-powered 350, the hybrid 350h, the plug-in hybrid 450h+ and the sporty — and also hybrid — 500h. You've got options whether you're looking to save on gas, do a bit of electric-only driving, or add some sport to your luxury SUV.

Competitors to consider

The Acura MDX could be a great choice if you miss the V6 engine that was unceremoniously dropped from the RX's repertoire with its redesign. The BMW X5 is also a nice option if you're looking for more interior space and cargo room. If value is what you're after, consider the Genesis GV80, which is jam-packed with standard features and impressive technology.

The Lexus RX provides lots of powertrain options, a comfortable ride and great fuel economy. But if you're interested in performance-oriented driving or need a lot of space, you may want to look elsewhere.
