What should I look for when buying a used Lexus RX?

Key things to evaluate:

• Safety package: Lexus Safety System+ 3.0
• Infotainment: wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
• Fuel efficiency: The FWD RX 350 estimated by the EPA to return 25 mpg in combined city and highway driving while the AWD model drops to 24 mpg. Stepping up to the hybrid RX 350h will only set you back $52,100, and it comes standard with AWD. Its combined fuel efficiency is estimated at an impressive 36 mpg. The new plug-in hybrid RX 450h+ that we evaluated has a starting price of $70,580, making it the priciest model in the lineup. Its 35-mpg combined fuel economy estimate compares well to the standard hybrid's figure and with 37 miles of electric-only range, it could be a good fit for those with consistent access to chargers.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The RX 350 is powered by a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 275 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque, while the RX 450h+ adds a much larger 18.1-kWh battery pack and up to 37 miles of electric-only range.
• Tech: The new infotainment system is much more conventional, with a touchscreen that measures 9.8 inches in lower trims and a much larger 14-inch display for other models, and it also accepts natural speech commands.
