The fourth-generation Lexus RX is a luxury SUV with a focus on comfort. Your choice of powertrain shapes how it feels in everyday traffic and how much fuel it uses on regular journeys.
Lexus RX engine choices include gasoline and hybrid powertrains, with automatic transmissions keeping daily driving straightforward. Gasoline versions rely on the engine for propulsion, while hybrids add electric assistance and recover energy during deceleration. The hybrid’s fuel-saving advantages are generally most noticeable in urban traffic, with fewer opportunities during steady highway cruising.
