What Lexus RX do most buyers choose?

The Lexus RX years with the most listings are 2023, 2024, and 2025.

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you more inventory to compare, which can make it easier to find the right trim, mileage, and price combination. They also sit close to the newest redesigns, so you get a more current RX experience while still shopping the used market.

What is the Lexus RX's resale value?

Most RX model years are showing negative year-over-year movement, which is helpful if you’re shopping used because prices have generally eased from a year ago. The largest drops are concentrated in the newer model years, while the older ones are changing more gradually. That pattern gives you more room to find value across the lineup.

The 2014 model year is holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year.

The 2014, 2020, and 2016 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
