The fifth-generation Lexus RX is a five-door SUV with gasoline, hybrid and plug-in hybrid choices. Your driving routine, access to charging and equipment priorities can help you choose a suitable version.
Lexus RX engine options come with different drivetrain layouts. The RX 350 pairs gasoline power with an automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. The RX 350h 4WD hybrid and RX 450h Plus 4WD plug-in hybrid pair continuously variable transmissions with all-wheel drive. These transmissions adjust their ratio without conventional gear changes, while all-wheel drive can help you pull away on slippery surfaces.
For the RX 450h Plus 4WD, Hadori and Takumi are named equipment configurations. When considering Lexus RX trim levels, check the equipment included with the particular vehicle: the trim name alone does not establish every feature. Focus on the seating, cabin technology and parking assistance you value, and distinguish standard equipment from optional additions.
The RX 450h Plus 4WD uses a lithium-ion battery for its plug-in hybrid system. Regular charging lets you make better use of electric driving, with the gasoline engine available for longer journeys. Lexus RX battery capacity is only part of the picture: temperature, speed and cabin heating also affect electric range. Consider convenient charging access alongside the battery specification.
