Which Lexus RX trim should I buy?

The 2024 Lexus RX offers these trims:

• RX 350: the base model starts with a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder, an eight-speed automatic, and available FWD or AWD, making it the entry point if you want the core RX comfort and refinement.
• RX 350h: the hybrid adds standard AWD and 36 mpg combined, making it the best-value trim for many buyers who want stronger efficiency.
• RX 500h F Sport Performance: this trim adds the most power in the lineup, with 366 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque, plus a six-speed automatic and AWD.

What Lexus RX do most buyers choose?

The Lexus RX years with the most listings are 2023, 2024, and 2022.

Higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you more listings to compare, which can make it easier to find the right trim, mileage, and price. They also often sit near the center of the model’s used-market sweet spot, where newer features and broader availability overlap.

What is the Lexus RX's resale value?

The table shows mostly negative year-over-year movement, which is helpful if you're shopping used because prices have generally eased across the lineup. The declines are larger in some newer years and much smaller in others, so the model’s pricing is moving down at different speeds depending on the year. The 2020 model year is holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year.

The 2020, 2018, and 2015 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
