Introducing a New Standard for Luxury SUVs: The 2025 Lexus RX
Convenience Features
Exterior
The front-wheel-drive Lexus RX 350 features bi-LED headlights, daytime running lights, LED fog lights, and blade-style LED taillights. Each RX includes side-view mirrors with automatic reverse tilt-down functions, heated glass, and auto-dimming capabilities on the driver’s side. Rain-sensing windshield wipers, as well as a power rear liftgate, are standard on all models this year. Higher trims in the lineup offer a power tilting and sliding moonroof, roof-mounted rails, and triple-beam LEDs for enhanced visibility.
Interior
Each RX comes equipped with the convenient SmartAccess keyless entry system and push-button ignition switch. No matter which trim you choose, your RX will include a split-folding and reclining 40/20/40 rear bench, ambient mood lighting, and Normal, Sport, ECO, and Custom driving modes. The base trim features multi-zone climate control, a leather-trimmed steering wheel and shifter, and premium NuLuxe upholstery. Heated front seats come standard on the base model, with a heated steering wheel available as an add-on.
The 350 Premium+ features perforated leather trim, while the 350 Luxury upgrades to perforated semi-aniline leather upholstery. The Premium+ and Luxury trims also include an advanced climate-control system with a smog-sensing air filter and automatic recirculation, a heated wood- and leather-trimmed steering wheel, and a driver memory system for the seat, exterior mirrors, and steering column.
The RX’s Heart and Soul
The gas-engine variants feature a 2.4-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine with a 16-valve dual-cam valvetrain and intelligent continuously variable valve timing. Each super ultra-low emission vehicle generates an impressive 317 lb-ft of torque and 275 horsepower. The 350h hybrid models include a 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder hybrid engine with 246 horsepower and 233 lb-ft of torque, the 450h models feature a 2.5-liter plug-in hybrid engine with 304 horsepower, and the 500h models produce 366 horsepower from their 2.4-liter turbocharged hybrid engines.
The front-wheel-drive models can accelerate from 0 to 60 MPH in 7.6 seconds, while the all-wheel-drive models reach 60 MPH in 7.2 seconds. 350h hybrids are capable of 0 to 60 MPH in 7.4 seconds, 450h hybrids reach 0 to 60 in 6.2 seconds, and 500h models achieve 0 to 60 in a speedy 5.9 seconds.
With race-inspired paddle shifters, a Lexus Interface screen with Drive Connect, and the Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 all offered as standard features across the lineup, 2025 is the best year yet to get behind the wheel of the RX.
