CarTell take

We haven't driven the RX yet. On paper, spindle grille and split-tail rear remain a polarising design call. Test the design in person before locking in the top trims.

Why consider it

  • Four powertrains including the 500h F Sport Performance with 273 kW combined and proper DIRECT4 AWD.
  • 14-inch Lexus Interface plus 12.3-inch driver display, wireless CarPlay and OTA updates.

What to know

  • 5-seat only, no 7-seat option here (that is the larger TX).
  • RX 500h F Sport Performance at $131,200 plus on-roads pushes into Cayenne territory.

Who it suits

Couples and 5-seat luxury buyers who want powertrain choice. Four energy options on the same body, AWD across the line, and a 500h F Sport Performance that finally gives the RX nameplate real teeth.
