2025 Lexus RX SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2025 Lexus RX is a five-passenger midsize luxury SUV available in four different models: RX 350, the hybrid-powered RX 350h, the plug-in hybrid RX 450h+ and performance-oriented RX 500h hybrid. In terms of standard equipment, the models are similar. Read on for a more detailed breakdown of the RX's standard and optional equipment.

Both the RX 350 and the hybrid RX 350h are available with the same five trim levels: base, Premium, Premium+, F Sport Design and Luxury. Additionally, the RX 350 offers the F Sport Handling trim for buyers wanting a firmer ride and sportier handling. The RX 350 is powered by a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine (275 horsepower, 317 lb-ft of torque) mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission with standard all-wheel drive. The RX 350h uses a hybrid powertrain with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine (246 hp, 233 lb-ft) driven through a continuously variable transmission (CVT).

The RX 450h+ comes with an upgraded version of the 350h's powertrain. It makes 304 hp and has a larger battery. Lexus estimates the 450h+ can go about 37 miles in electric-only driving. The RX 450h+ is only available in the top Luxury trim.

Finally, the RX 500h combines a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder and a hybrid system (366 hp, 406 lb-ft) along with a six-speed automatic transmission and a sport-tuned all-wheel-drive system. It's available in the F Sport Performance trim only.

RX 350
The base models start RX buyers off with the following:

  • 19-inch wheels
  • Power liftgate
  • Proximity-sensing keyless entry
  • Ambient interior lighting
  • Triple-zone automatic climate control
  • Power-adjustable steering wheel
  • Synthetic leather upholstery
  • Heated, power-adjustable front seats
  • Folding and reclining 40/20/40-split back seats
  • 9.8-inch touchscreen
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration (both with wireless connectivity)
  • 12-speaker sound system

Premium
Adds to the base trim with:

  • Roof rails
  • Sunroof
  • Memory for the driver's settings
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Wireless smartphone charger
  • Parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)

Premium+
Gets you a few more features, including:

  • Upgraded ambient interior lighting
  • Genuine leather upholstery
  • 14-inch touchscreen infotainment system

Luxury
Loads up the RX with:

  • 21-inch wheels
  • Panoramic glass roof
  • Premium leather upholstery
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)

F Sport Design
Has the features of the Premium trim but looks sportier thanks to:

  • 21-inch gloss black wheels
  • Unique F Sport front and rear styling
  • Black exterior trim

F Sport Handling
Available only for the RX 350, this trim further adds:

  • Sport-tuned adaptive suspension
  • Upgraded braking system
  • Front sport seats
  • Sport-design steering wheel

F Sport Performance
The 500h only comes in this trim. It essentially combines the styling and performance upgrades from the F Sport Handling with the extra features of the Luxury.

All RX models are equipped with many standard driver assist features. These include:

  • Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front and can also reduce speed for curves in the road)
  • Forward collision warning with automatic braking (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane departure mitigation (warns you of a lane departure when a turn signal isn't used and can automatically steer to maintain lane position)
  • Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)

Depending on which version of the RX you choose, primary options include:

  • Upgraded LED headlights
  • Hands-free liftgate
  • Digital key (turns your smartphone into the vehicle's key)
  • Digital rearview mirror (allows you to see out of the back even with a fully loaded cargo area)
  • 21-speaker Mark Levinson premium sound system
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the RX and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Automated parking system (steers into a parking spot with little or no driver intervention)
  • Black Line Special Edition package (combines a special combo of black paint, black upholstery and black wheels; 500h F Sport Performance only)

Which RX trim does Edmunds recommend?

We recommend starting with the RX 350h. It capitalizes on fuel economy, one of its greatest assets, while delivering plenty of comfort and technology. From there, we'd step up to the midrange Premium+ trim to get genuine leather upholstery and the larger infotainment screen.
