Lexus RX Engines and Transmissions
Lexus RX engine choices include the front-wheel-drive gasoline 2.7 AT and all-wheel-drive gasoline 3.5 AT, both with automatic transmissions. Another example, the all-wheel-drive 3.5 CVT hybrid, combines gasoline and electric power with a variable transmission. Expect its engine speed to change differently from an automatic that shifts through distinct gears.

Lexus RX Trims and Equipment
Lexus RX trim levels include Premium Plus and Premuim for the all-wheel-drive 3.5 CVT hybrid. These names identify equipment configurations within that powertrain choice. When choosing a vehicle, check its actual comfort, audio and parking features, since a trim name alone does not establish every fitted option.

Lexus RX Battery
Both the front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive 3.5 CVT hybrids use a metal hydride battery. It stores energy recovered during braking and supplies electric assistance without routine plug-in charging. When assessing a used example, consider battery condition alongside Lexus RX battery capacity: capacity alone cannot tell you how well the hybrid system performs.
