    Lexus RX Review, For Sale, Colours, Models, Interior & News

    The Lexus RX was one of the earliest takes on the idea of a luxury SUV, and it has stood the test of time over several generations as a model that offers the right size, price and intent for plenty of Australian customers. 

    Ultimately, the Lexus RX offers customers a great amount of choice: the option of five or seven seats, three different powertrains including turbo, V6 and hybrid, and a multitude of trim levels to suit each buyer’s specific wants and needs. 

    The current Lexus RX range kicks off with the RX RX350 F-Sport priced from $100,660 and ranges through to the flagship RX RX350 Sports Luxury + EP2 at $110,560.

    Lexus RX Q&As

    Check out real-world situations relating to the Lexus RX here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

    • Lexus RX350 2007: Are they reliable?

      It’s unlikely that a manufacturing fault should show up after 11 years. I suspect that you’re just unlucky and its one of those freak thing that can happen. Even the best cars sometimes break down.

    • What's the average price of an '04 Lexus RX330 sports luxury?

      If you were buying it you would pay $9000-$11,500; if you were trading it in you would get $6500-$8500. On average it would have done between 130,000 and 240,000 km.

      Show more
    • Is RX350 Sport Luxury missing a safety feature?

      Lexus says all of the individual features in the package are fitted to the Sport Luxury but they are not linked because that setup is focused on performance driving and it was not regarded as a priority for the luxury flagship.

    • Kluger or RX 3250?

      I am not a fan of the new Kluger, so it would definitely be the Lexus RX for me.
