The Lexus RX is one of those vehicles that changed the industry so completely that it is easy to forget it was ever new. When it arrived in 1998 as the RX 300, luxury SUVs meant truck-based machines with tippy handling and thirsty engines. The RX instead rode on car-based underpinnings, delivered a smooth V6, a quiet cabin and a high seat, and created the template for nearly every luxury crossover since. It quickly became Lexus's best-selling model and has stayed there.
In 2005 the RX 400h became one of the first hybrid luxury SUVs, and electrification has been central to the nameplate ever since. The fifth generation, launched for 2023, offers a turbocharged four-cylinder RX 350, the efficient RX 350h, the plug-in RX 450h+ and the performance-minded RX 500h F Sport Performance. The old V6 is gone, which disappointed some loyalists, and the spindle grille has evolved into a sleeker spindle body. A longer three-row RX L was offered in the previous generation, a role the TX now fills.
The RX's customers want calm, comfort and the confidence that the car will run flawlessly for a decade, and they get it, though enthusiasts call it dull and critics have poked at its infotainment over the years. It is cross-shopped with the Acura MDX, BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz GLE, Audi Q7, Genesis GV80 and Volvo XC90. Coverage includes model-year updates, recalls, reliability data, comparison tests, pricing and the RX's long reign as a luxury best-seller.
The SUV that invented the luxury crossover in 1998 and still anchors Lexus: hushed, hybrid-heavy, endlessly reliable and forever cross-shopped with the MDX.
