Which RX Is Right for You?
RX 350: the classic. A smooth turbocharged gas engine and an eight-speed automatic, with front-wheel drive standard and all-wheel drive available. A great entry point into the RX family.
RX 350h: the commuter's choice. With a rating of 36 mpg combined and standard all-wheel drive, it's built for Atlanta's stop-and-go stretches of I-85 and I-75. Hybrid RX sales are up more than 26% this year, a clear signal of where buyers are heading.
RX 450h+: the plug-in. Up to 38 miles of electric range means many daily errands and commutes can be done without using gas, with the hybrid system ready for road trips. New for 2026 is the RX 450h+ Premium grade, which opens the plug-in to buyers at a lower entry price than before.
RX 500h F SPORT Performance: the driver's RX. A turbocharged hybrid with 366 net horsepower and standard all-wheel drive for the driver who wants more energy from the RX.
Understanding the 2026 RX Grades
The RX comes in Standard, Premium, Premium+ and Luxury grades, plus the F SPORT Design, F SPORT Handling and F SPORT Performance grades for a more athletic look and feel. Grades are generally consistent across powertrains, meaning a Luxury grade offers the same level of content whether you pick the RX 350, 350h or 450h+. All models include wireless phone charging as standard for 2026, and every new RX is backed by Lexus's 4-year/50,000-mile basic warranty and 6-year/70,000-mile powertrain warranty.
Tip: not sure whether to step up a grade? Come see them side by side. A short test drive often answers the question faster than a spec sheet.
