How much does the Lexus RX cost in today's market?

Used Lexus RX prices span a wide range depending on model year. Here's what the market looks like right now:

The Lexus RX's current nationwide average price is $33,403, and its lowest point over the past year was $29,924. Recently, prices have come down for the 2023, 2024, and 2025 models, making now a good time to shop recent model years.

Is the Lexus RX a good car?

Yes — the Lexus RX is a strong used luxury SUV choice if you want comfort, refinement, and long-term appeal. The all-generations owner rating is 4.66/5 across every model year in the data.

Owners consistently praise the RX for its luxury feel, smooth ride, quiet cabin, and reliability. Across the model years, the RX also stands out for its upscale interior and everyday comfort, which help explain why it remains such a popular used pick.

Expert reviews rate the 2020 and 2021 models among the highest across all years.

The main tradeoffs show up in performance and technology: some recent versions are described as fairly pedestrian to drive, and the infotainment experience can feel less intuitive than the rest of the cabin. Even so, the RX’s comfort-first character and strong ownership appeal make it an easy recommendation for many shoppers.

34.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.

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 inventory to compare, more pricing flexibility, and a better chance of finding the trim and equipment mix you want.

What is the Lexus RX's resale value?

Most model years are trending lower year over year, which is good news if you are shopping used and want prices to be a little softer than they were a year ago. The changes are generally modest rather than dramatic, with the newest years showing the biggest declines in this set. A few older years are moving only slightly, which suggests steadier pricing at the lower end of the lineup.

The 2014 and 2020 model years are holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year.

The 2020, 2014, and 2015 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
