What Lexus RX do most buyers choose?

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

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you more inventory to compare, more pricing spread, and more chances to find the right trim and equipment combination. They also sit close enough to the current generation to deliver the RX’s core comfort-and-refinement formula while still offering used-car value.

The 2016 model year is holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year.
