$100,660

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 RX350 F-Sport priced from $100,660 and ranges through to the flagship RX350 Sports Luxury + EP2 at $110,560.
