If you're shopping for a three-row luxury SUV and wondering about seating capacity, the 2026 Lexus TX seats either seven or six passengers depending on which configuration you choose. Two distinct layouts give buyers the flexibility to prioritize maximum headcount or elevated comfort. If you're in the San Jose or Bay Area area and want to see both in person, explore our new Lexus TX inventory at Lexus Stevens Creek or contact our team to arrange a visit. more 7-Passenger vs. 6-Passenger: Understanding Both Configurations The 2026 Lexus TX comes in two seating configurations: a seven-passenger layout and a six-passenger layout. Each takes a different approach to how you use the TX day to day, and Lexus designed both with enough intention that neither feels like a compromise. The 7-Passenger Layout with Second-Row Bench Seating The seven-passenger version uses a 60:40 split-folding bench seat across the second row. This layout is built for families who regularly need every seat filled. The bench accommodates three passengers side by side, making it easier for kids to pile in or for parents to keep younger passengers within view during long drives. Boarding and exiting also tend to go faster, particularly in tight parking spots or drop-off zones where every second counts. The 6-Passenger Layout with Second-Row Captain's Chairs The six-passenger variant swaps that bench for a pair of second-row captain's chairs. The gap between those chairs creates a natural walkway to the third row, making access noticeably more convenient. Second-row passengers also gain individual armrests on both sides and the kind of personal space you'd expect in a luxury cabin. This configuration suits buyers who use the third row occasionally but want their regular passengers riding comfortably. If your typical driving week involves two adults and two kids, the captain's chairs setup tends to feel like the right call almost immediately. Which 2026 Lexus TX Trims Offer Each Seating Configuration Not every trim offers both seating layouts, so it's worth knowing this before you visit. The TX 350 gives you a choice, but only on its non-F SPORT grades: the Standard, Premium, and Luxury trims can be had with either the second-row bench for seven passengers or dual captain's chairs for six. Step up to the TX 350 F SPORT Handling and captain's chairs come as part of the package, so that one seats six. The TX 500h F SPORT Performance and TX 550h+ hybrid trims, on the other hand, come exclusively with captain's chairs, so you're looking at a six-passenger configuration either way. If maximum seating capacity is a priority, the seven-passenger bench is only available on the non-F SPORT TX 350 grades. If you're drawn to the hybrid powertrains or the F SPORT styling, plan on the six-passenger layout. What to Expect from the 2026 Lexus TX Third Row The TX's third row is one of the more practical aspects of this SUV. Many vehicles treat the third row as an afterthought; the TX handles it differently. Third-Row Space and Real-World Comfort Third-row legroom measures 33.5 inches, which is genuinely usable space for children and workable for adults on shorter trips. We'd describe it honestly as better suited to occasional adult use than everyday rides. The stadium-style seating arrangement staggers each row slightly higher than the one in front, which opens up sightlines and keeps the third row from feeling buried. Dedicated third-row climate vents also prevent the back of the cabin from turning stuffy on warmer Bay Area days. Third-Row Access and Folding Flexibility Getting into the third row is made easier by a slide-assist walk-in mechanism on the second-row seats. Rather than struggling to fold a seat forward, the mechanism tilts the second row smoothly and creates a clear walkthrough. Most useful at school pickups or when loading everyone quickly in a parking garage. When the third row isn't needed, folding it down opens up significant cargo room. Behind the third row, you have 20.2 cubic feet of space. Fold the third row and that grows to 57.4 cubic feet behind the second row. With both rows folded flat, cargo volume reaches 97.0 cubic feet, enough for a full family road trip's worth of luggage. Interior Features That Set the 2026 Lexus TX Apart The TX's interior reflects what you'd expect from a three-row at the premium end of the segment. Standard comfort features include heated and power-adjustable front seats, a heated steering wheel, and wireless phone charging so devices stay topped off without hunting for cables. Dashboard-integrated navigation keeps routing clear without requiring a phone mount. The power rear liftgate includes a kick sensor for hands-free operation when your arms are full of groceries or gear, a small feature that becomes genuinely appreciated over time. High-quality materials run consistently throughout the cabin, covering door panels, second-row surfaces, and trim accents alongside the front-row touchpoints. The overall effect is a cabin that feels consistent rather than tiered. How the 2026 Lexus TX Stacks Up Against Other 3-Row Lexus SUVs The TX occupies a specific spot within the broader Lexus lineup. The GX is a more rugged body-on-frame option built for off-road capability. The LX moves into full-size territory with a heavier footprint. The TX sits between those two, offering genuine three-row practicality in a refined unibody package that handles daily urban and suburban driving particularly well. Compared to the GX, the TX delivers a noticeably more accommodating third row and a wider cabin. Against the larger LX, it offers a more agile driving character while still covering the core family-hauling requirements, with a practical third row, flexible cargo space, and a premium interior. For Silicon Valley families who need a three-row Lexus for school runs and weekend trips without giving up ride quality, the TX makes a strong case. If you'd like to compare TX trims alongside the GX or LX in person, we're happy to walk you through the differences at Lexus Stevens Creek. Browse our new vehicle lineup to see what's currently in stock. Which Seating Configuration Is Right for You? Think through your typical week. If your family regularly fills all three rows or you carpool frequently, the seven-passenger bench seat makes practical sense. It keeps headcount high, simplifies loading when speed matters, and gives you maximum flexibility. If your third row sees only occasional use and your regular passengers value personal space, the six-passenger captain's chairs setup delivers a noticeably more premium experience every time you're on the road. The walkthrough access to row three is a real convenience, and the individual armrests make second-row passengers feel like priority guests. Consider how often all three rows are actually occupied, whether younger kids need to sit near adults in the middle row, and how much your regular passengers care about personal space. Your daily patterns will point you toward the right choice more quickly than any spec comparison. Experience the 2026 Lexus TX at Lexus Stevens Creek Reading about seating configurations is a useful starting point, but the clearest picture comes from sitting in the TX yourself.

The 2026 Lexus TX interior is built around a simple idea: everyone in the vehicle deserves to feel comfortable. Whether you're the driver working through Silicon Valley traffic or a passenger settling into the third row for a longer trip, the cabin delivers a thoughtful mix of space, materials, and technology. Three-row seating, generous legroom at every position, and a layout that puts key controls exactly where you'd expect them all contribute to a cabin that feels genuinely considered rather than assembled from a checklist. The interior experience holds together remarkably well across trim levels and powertrains, which is what sets the 2026 TX apart in the midsize luxury SUV segment. We carry the full TX lineup here in San Jose, and you can browse our current 2026 Lexus TX inventory to see exactly what's in stock. Each major feature below shapes that experience in a concrete way. more The 14-Inch Lexus Interface Touchscreen The Lexus TX dashboard is anchored by a 14-inch Lexus Interface touchscreen that handles audio, vehicle settings, and connected services from a single, centrally positioned display. The screen is large enough to reduce the need for submenus, which means less time hunting through settings and more time focused on driving. This display is standard on every TX trim and powertrain. The interface groups related functions logically, touch response is quick, and graphics are clear. Adjusting a destination mid-route or switching audio sources takes only a moment. For a three-row SUV likely to carry families across Bay Area freeways, that kind of streamlined usability matters more than headline-grabbing complexity. 12.3-Inch Multi-Information Display Directly in front of the driver sits a 12.3-inch multi-information display that replaces traditional analog gauges with a fully digital, customizable display. Drivers can configure the layout to prioritize active turn-by-turn prompts, real-time performance data, or a simpler view focused on speed and range. The clarity of the display and the flexibility of its layouts reinforce the overall luxury feel of the 2026 Lexus TX interior. It's one of those features that sounds straightforward on a spec sheet but genuinely shapes how connected you feel to the vehicle while driving. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto The TX includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard connectivity features across all trims, removing the cable entirely from the equation. Your phone connects automatically once paired, keeping the center console tidy. For drivers who rely on their preferred apps, streaming services, or hands-free calling, wireless integration means the transition from phone to vehicle happens without a second thought. On a daily Bay Area commute or a longer family road trip, that convenience adds up quickly. Three-Zone Climate Control With Third-Row Vents Climate control in the TX is designed to serve the entire cabin, not just the front seats. The three-zone automatic climate control system allows passengers in different rows to set their own preferred temperatures, which is particularly useful when adults and children are sharing the same space on longer journeys. Front and Rear Climate Zones Explained The front zone gives the driver and front passenger independent control over temperature and airflow. The rear zone allows second-row passengers to adjust their own settings without relying on whoever is in front. A driver who runs warm and a rear passenger who runs cold can both travel comfortably without compromise. Third-Row Passenger Comfort Third-row seating in most SUVs gets the bare minimum treatment. The TX takes a different approach. Dedicated rear HVAC vents extend temperature regulation to the full length of the cabin, and USB charging ports keep devices powered back there. Realistically, the third row is best suited for children or occasional adult passengers on shorter to medium-length trips. It's not the most spacious third-row in its class, but the dedicated climate vents make it meaningfully more livable than a pure emergency seat. Heated Seats, Steering Wheel, and the Modular Cupholder System Heated Seats and Steering Wheel Heated front seats are standard across all TX grades, warming up quickly with adjustable settings for both driver and front passenger. A heated steering wheel is available on higher trims. On electrified models, the TX 500h F SPORT Performance and TX 550h+ both come standard with heated and ventilated front seats, and captain's chair configurations extend standard heating and ventilation to the second-row outboard seats as well. Heated and ventilated second-row outboard seats are also available on Premium, Luxury, and F SPORT Performance trims across the lineup. The Modular Cupholder System The modular cupholder system is a small but genuinely clever piece of interior engineering. Captain's chair configurations include six modular cupholders; bench seating includes four. The system accommodates different cup and bottle sizes while freeing up space for other items. It's the kind of practical thinking that separates a well-designed cabin from one that simply looks good in photos. How Interior Appointments Vary From Standard to F SPORT Performance Luxury Entry Grades: Standard and Premium The Standard and Premium trims establish a strong baseline. Both include the 14-inch Lexus Interface touchscreen, 12.3-inch multi-information display, wireless smartphone integration, and three-zone automatic climate control. Seating surfaces use NuLuxe upholstery. Buyers who stop at this level still get a TX interior that feels premium in daily use, with the essential technology and comfort features fully represented. Upper Grades: Luxury and F SPORT Performance Luxury Moving into Luxury and F SPORT Performance Luxury grades, the cabin takes on a noticeably elevated character. Seating upgrades to semi-aniline leather-trimmed surfaces, available sound system improvements lift audio performance significantly, and thematic ambient lighting adds a distinctive atmosphere. The F SPORT Performance Luxury grade layers sport-oriented styling cues into the luxury framework: contrast stitching, sport seat bolstering, and unique trim accents give this grade its own visual identity while preserving the underlying comfort the TX is built around. TX 350 vs. TX 500h F SPORT Performance vs. TX 550h+ Interior Differences The powertrain you choose doesn't only affect what happens under the hood. Each TX variant brings its own cabin character and grade availability.

It delivers the full 2026 Lexus TX interior technology suite at every level, making it the most flexible choice for buyers who want to dial in their comfort and feature priorities without committing to an electrified powertrain. TX 500h F SPORT Performance and TX 550h+: Hybrid and PHEV Cabin Upgrades The TX 500h F SPORT Performance is available in F SPORT Performance Premium and F SPORT Performance Luxury grades only. The TX 550h+ comes exclusively in Luxury trim. Both electrified models include standard heated and ventilated front seats and add hybrid or PHEV-specific efficiency displays to the instrument cluster and infotainment system. With captain's chair configurations, both extend standard second-row seat heating and ventilation. These features come in addition to an already well-equipped cabin, not as trade-offs for the electrified powertrain.

If you're shopping the 2026 Lexus NX and want to cut straight to the numbers, pricing starts at $46,570 for the NX 350h Standard FWD with destination included. From there, it climbs through multiple powertrains and trim grades into the low $60,000s when fully loaded. Three distinct powertrains, up to four trim grades each, so the right answer depends entirely on what you actually need from the car. We've put together this complete breakdown to help you navigate every level with confidence. When you're ready to see what's in stock, browse our current 2026 Lexus NX inventory at Lexus Stevens Creek. more What Is the 2026 Lexus NX? A Quick Overview For 2026, the Lexus NX comes in three powertrain configurations: the turbocharged gasoline NX 350, the self-charging hybrid NX 350h, and the plug-in hybrid NX 450h+. Worth noting for returning shoppers: the NX 250 was discontinued after MY2025 and is no longer part of the lineup. Each powertrain runs across multiple trim grades, Standard through F SPORT Handling, giving buyers a wide range of price points and feature sets. Here's how the full lineup compares: Trim Powertrain Drivetrain Horsepower Fuel Economy (City/Hwy) Starting MSRP NX 350 Standard 2.4L Turbo I4 AWD 275 hp 22/28 mpg $47,220 NX 350 Premium 2.4L Turbo I4 AWD 275 hp 22/28 mpg $49,145 NX 350 Luxury 2.4L Turbo I4 AWD 275 hp 22/28 mpg $53,285 NX 350 F SPORT Handling 2.4L Turbo I4 AWD 275 hp 22/28 mpg $53,195 NX 350h Standard 2.5L I4 Hybrid FWD 240 hp 43/37 mpg $46,570 NX 350h Premium 2.5L I4 Hybrid FWD/AWD 240 hp 43/37 mpg $48,495/$50,045 NX 350h Luxury 2.5L I4 Hybrid FWD/AWD 240 hp 43/37 mpg $52,635/$54,185 NX 350h F SPORT Handling 2.5L I4 Hybrid AWD 240 hp 43/37 mpg $56,595 NX 450h+ Premium 2.5L PHEV AWD 304 hp 37 mi EV range $59,505 NX 450h+ Luxury 2.5L PHEV AWD 304 hp 37 mi EV range $63,435 NX 450h+ F SPORT Handling 2.5L PHEV AWD 304 hp 37 mi EV range $64,525 All MSRPs include destination and handling and reflect 2026 model year data. Individual trim pricing is subject to change; contact us for current figures. Final pricing may vary based on options, packages, and market conditions. 2026 Lexus NX 350 Price by Trim Grade The NX 350 runs a 275-hp turbocharged 2.4L four-cylinder paired with an 8-speed automatic and standard AWD. It's the entry point for buyers who want responsive power without paying the hybrid premium, and it scales meaningfully across four trim grades. NX 350 Standard — $47,220 Standard trim covers the essentials well: synthetic leather seating, 18-inch wheels, a 9.8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, adaptive cruise control, and the full Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 suite. A solid foundation without any obvious gaps. NX 350 Premium — $49,145 Premium adds a power sunroof, ventilated front seats, driver memory settings, a power-adjustable steering column, and wireless charging. For a lot of buyers, this ends up being the sweet spot on the NX 350 ladder. The comfort upgrades here are things you actually notice and use every day. NX 350 Luxury — $53,285 Genuine leather seating, a 14-inch touchscreen with built-in navigation, upgraded LED headlights, a rearview mirror camera, and ambient lighting. If you spend a lot of time in your vehicle and want the interior to reflect that, the Luxury grade delivers a noticeably elevated experience. NX 350 F SPORT Handling — $53,195 Rather than adding more comfort features, the F SPORT Handling grade is about driving character. Sport-tuned suspension with adaptive variable suspension (AVS), 20-inch F SPORT wheels, an aggressive front fascia, aluminum pedals, a heated steering wheel, and F SPORT seats give the NX a distinctly athletic feel. Buyers who want engagement on a winding road, not just comfort on the freeway, tend to end up here. 2026 Lexus NX 350h Price by Trim Grade The NX 350h pairs a 2.5L I4 with a self-charging hybrid system for 240 total horsepower and up to 40 mpg combined in FWD configuration. Pricing runs modestly above the NX 350 at each trim level. In the San Jose and Silicon Valley area, where stop-and-go commutes are the norm, the 350h is one of our most frequently cross-shopped configurations, and it's easy to see why. NX 350h Standard — $46,570 FWD This is the most accessible entry point in the entire 2026 NX lineup. It carries the same core feature set as the NX 350 Standard while adding the hybrid efficiency advantage. For buyers who want better fuel economy without stepping up to a higher trim grade, it's the clear pick. NX 350h Premium — $48,495 (FWD) / $50,045 (AWD) A sunroof, ventilated front seats, and wireless charging join the hybrid foundation here. AWD availability at this grade gives Bay Area buyers a solid option for varied driving conditions. The combination of real fuel savings and genuine luxury refinement makes this one of the most balanced configurations in the lineup. NX 350h Luxury — $52,635 (FWD) / $54,185 (AWD) Genuine leather, a 14-inch touchscreen with navigation, upgraded LED headlights, and a rearview mirror camera. It's also worth factoring the long-term fuel savings of the hybrid system into your ownership cost math when comparing this against the equivalent NX 350 Luxury. NX 350h F SPORT Handling — $56,595 New for 2026 on the hybrid. The 350h F SPORT Handling pairs the hybrid powertrain with sport-tuned adaptive dampers, 20-inch F SPORT wheels, a heated steering wheel, and F SPORT seats. Buyers who want efficiency without giving up driving engagement will find this trim genuinely satisfying. 2026 Lexus NX 450h+ Price by Trim Grade The NX 450h+ is the PHEV variant of the NX, offering 304 total horsepower, standard AWD, up to 37 miles of electric-only range, and dual-voltage charging capability. There's no Standard trim here; the lineup starts at Premium. For Silicon Valley commuters with home charging access, the 450h+ frequently makes a compelling case once you factor in total fuel costs over time. NX 450h+ Premium — $59,505 The entry point into plug-in hybrid territory. Premium-grade interior features combined with full PHEV capability make this a strong choice for buyers who want to minimize fuel use on daily drives while keeping full flexibility for longer trips. NX 450h+ Luxury — $63,435 Genuine leather, a 14-inch touchscreen with navigation, upgraded LED headlights, and a rearview mirror camera round out the PHEV platform here. For buyers who want the most refined interior paired with the top-tier powertrain, this trim is the logical destination. NX 450h+ F SPORT Handling — $64,525 Sport-tuned suspension, F SPORT styling, 20-inch wheels, and the full PHEV drivetrain together in one package. It's the most dynamic expression of the 450h+ lineup and the highest-priced standard configuration in the NX range. Options and Packages That Can Raise the Final Price Selecting a powertrain and trim grade is only part of the equation. Optional packages can move your final number considerably. The Mark Levinson premium audio system runs approximately $1,000 or more and genuinely transforms the in-cabin listening experience. A panoramic roof adds around $500. Wheel upgrades, technology packages, and interior color choices can each add $2,000 to $5,000 to the base price. A fully configured NX 350 Luxury or F SPORT Handling can push past $60,000 before taxes and fees. It's also worth accounting for destination charges, dealer-installed accessories, and applicable taxes and registration when calculating your real out-of-pocket cost. If you're trading in a vehicle, knowing its value before you arrive simplifies the conversation considerably. You can get an instant cash offer to establish a clear baseline ahead of time. Which 2026 Lexus NX Trim Is Right for You? It really comes down to how you drive, what matters inside the cabin, and where your budget sits. Here's a practical guide: Buyers who want the lowest entry price with hybrid efficiency: NX 350h Standard FWD at $46,570 Buyers who want the most practical everyday balance of features and fuel savings: NX 350h Premium Buyers who prioritize interior quality and spend significant time behind the wheel: NX 350h Luxury or NX 350 Luxury Buyers who want the most engaging driving character: NX 350 F SPORT Handling or NX 350h F SPORT Handling Buyers with home charging access who want to minimize fuel costs: NX 450h+ Premium at $59,505 Buyers who want sport dynamics and PHEV efficiency together: NX 450h+ F SPORT Handling There's no objectively wrong choice here.

The 2026 Lexus GX is a mid-size SUV built around rugged, real-world capability, while the 2026 Lexus LX is a full-size flagship that prioritizes refinement, power, and premium appointments above everything else.

It delivers genuine off-road performance without asking you to sacrifice daily comfort, and the 2026 model keeps that tradition alive as Lexus's go-to mid-size option for drivers who want trail-ready hardware wrapped in a refined package. GX Powertrain and Performance Power comes from a 3.4L twin-turbo V6 making 349 hp at 4,800 rpm and 479 lb-ft of torque at just 2,000 rpm, paired with a 10-speed automatic. That low-end torque number matters more than people realize, especially on trails where pulling power at low speeds counts far more than peak horsepower. The GX hits 60 mph in 6.5 seconds, carries a 21-gallon fuel tank, and runs full-time 4WD across the entire lineup. GX Off-Road Engineering Off-road capability isn't just part of the GX's marketing story. It's baked into the hardware. Ground clearance sits at 8.7 inches on standard trims and rises to 9.8 inches on the Overtrail and Overtrail+ with their standard one-inch suspension lift, giving the GX a real edge over the LX in technical terrain. The Overtrail trim adds dedicated off-road tires, an electronically controlled locking rear differential, Multi-Terrain Select, Crawl Control, and skid plates. It's also configured as a two-row setup rather than three, which optimizes the cargo floor for serious use. For Bay Area drivers, that translates directly to weekend adventures. Heading up to Tahoe, running the coastline toward Big Sur, or poking around trails in the Santa Cruz Mountains, the GX handles the kind of varied terrain those routes throw at you without needing a purpose-built overlanding rig. GX Interior and Practicality Inside, the GX strikes a solid balance between utility and comfort. The cabin measures 197 inches long and 83.2 inches wide, leaving plenty of room for passengers and cargo alike. Third-row legroom reaches 37.89 inches, which works fine for adults on shorter trips. Fold everything flat and you get up to 76.9 cubic feet of cargo volume in three-row configurations, or 90.5 cubic feet in the two-row Overtrail and Overtrail+ grades. Both are strong numbers for the mid-size luxury segment. GX 550 trim levels give buyers access to upgraded audio, ambient lighting, and better seating surfaces. Pricing stays within mid-size luxury territory, which makes the GX a genuinely compelling choice for people who want real capability without pushing into flagship pricing. Meet the 2026 Lexus LX: Flagship Refinement in a Full-Size Package The LX lives in a different world entirely. It's Lexus's top-of-the-line SUV, a full-size flagship built for buyers who want the most refined, powerful, and thoroughly appointed vehicle in the lineup. LX Powertrain Options and Performance Two engine options are available. The standard 3.4L twin-turbo V6 puts out 409 hp at 5,200 rpm and 479 lb-ft of torque, with a 0-60 time of 6.9 seconds. Step up to the LX 700h and you get a twin-turbo V6 paired with an electric motor, producing a combined 457 hp and 583 lb-ft of torque, hitting 60 mph in 6.4 seconds. Worth noting: the 700h's hybrid system includes both a starter and alternator, which is a first for a Lexus hybrid. Both engines use a 10-speed automatic and standard full-time 4WD. Towing capacity tops out at 8,000 lbs, which covers most recreational needs. That said, if hauling heavy trailers is a regular thing for you, the GX is the stronger number, and it's one place where the mid-size model actually beats the flagship. The Overtrail grade rates highest at 9,096 lbs, Premium and Overtrail+ come in at 9,063 lbs, and Luxury grades drop to around 8,020 lbs due to their larger 22-inch wheels. LX Capability and Suspension Ground clearance figures for the LX vary by configuration and trim. The bigger story is the LX's suspension tuning, which delivers a composed ride at highway speeds while remaining capable when conditions get rough. The result is a ride that feels composed at highway speeds and still capable when things get rough. On-road comfort is clearly the priority here, though the LX remains genuinely capable off-road. The LX measures 200.5 inches long with a 78.3-inch width and has a longer wheelbase than the GX's 112.2-inch wheelbase. Third-row legroom comes in at 31.1 inches, noticeably tighter than what the GX offers in the rear. LX Interior and Luxury Appointments The interior raises the bar. Premium materials throughout the cabin, a more feature-rich infotainment setup, expanded connectivity, and deeper customization options all reinforce the LX's flagship status. Max cargo volume is 64 cubic feet, smaller than the GX because the LX dedicates more of its interior to passenger comfort and premium packaging. The Ultra Luxury trim takes things further with a four-passenger layout built around second-row captain's chairs. It essentially repositions the LX as a luxury hauler for small groups who want maximum personal space. Pricing reflects all of this, and the LX carries a significant premium over the GX. Buyers who choose it are making a deliberate decision to invest in Lexus's most refined SUV experience. Size, Space, and Practicality: How the Two Models Stack Up A question that comes up constantly in this comparison: which one is bigger? The LX is the longer vehicle, but the GX wins on cargo volume by a wide margin. That gap might seem counterintuitive at first, but it comes down to packaging priorities. The LX uses its interior space to maximize passenger comfort and premium appointments. The GX prioritizes usable cargo room and the geometric requirements of serious off-road hardware. For families who regularly haul gear, the difference between 76.9 and 64 cubic feet of cargo space is very real in three-row configurations. Step into the two-row Overtrail and that gap widens further, with 90.5 cubic feet available when you prioritize cargo over the third row. If maximum interior refinement and powertrain output are what you're after, the LX's size and flagship appointments make the premium worth it. Safety Technology and Driver Assistance Features Safety technology is consistent across both models. Both the GX and LX come standard with Lexus Safety System+ 3.0, covering automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and a full suite of driver assistance features. These systems add meaningful protection and reduce fatigue on longer drives. Full airbag coverage is standard throughout both cabins. The LX, given its flagship positioning, may offer additional safety tech among its available upgrades, but neither model cuts corners on the fundamentals. Lexus applies consistent safety standards at every trim level across both vehicles.

Pricing a luxury electric SUV is rarely straightforward. There's the sticker price, then the powertrain decision, then the question of which features actually matter to your daily life. If you've been searching "how much is the Lexus RZ?" and keep getting vague answers, this is the guide you need. The 2026 Lexus RZ lineup runs from $47,295 to $58,295 including destination, across six distinct configurations. You can browse our new inventory to see what's currently available, or read through the full breakdown below before you visit. more 2026 Lexus RZ Price Overview: What to Expect Before You Shop The 2026 Lexus RZ starts at $47,295 and tops out at $58,295. That spread reflects genuine differences in powertrain output, interior quality, and driving character. The headline addition this year is the RZ 550e F SPORT, a high-performance variant that brings a sharper personality to a lineup already known for refinement. For anyone evaluating an electric Lexus, the 2026 RZ offers clearly defined choices between everyday luxury, long-range efficiency, and outright performance. 2026 Lexus RZ Trim Levels and MSRP: A Complete Breakdown Six configurations make up the 2026 RZ lineup, spanning two powertrain families. Here's the full picture before we go trim by trim: Trim Drivetrain Horsepower Est. Range (miles) Key Standard Features Starting MSRP RZ 350e FWD 221 hp 301 miles 14-in. touchscreen, Lexus Safety System+ 3.0, heated front seats $47,295 RZ 350e Premium FWD 221 hp 301 miles Panoramic glass roof, panoramic view monitor, kick-sensor rear door $49,495 RZ 450e AWD 308 hp 261 miles Dual-motor AWD, same feature base as 350e Premium $50,795 RZ 450e Premium AWD 308 hp 264 miles Ventilated front seats, ambient door trim illumination $52,995 RZ 450e Luxury AWD 313 hp 257 miles Mark Levinson audio, 20-in. wheels, heated rear seats, Tsuyasumi trim $58,295 RZ 550e F SPORT AWD 402 hp 229 miles 402 hp dual-motor AWD, rear spoiler, F SPORT interior $58,295 RZ 350e — $47,295 (Including Destination) The RZ 350e is the entry point into the RZ family, and it earns that role without feeling like a consolation prize. This front-wheel-drive, single-motor setup is built for efficiency and everyday usability. Standard equipment includes the 14-inch touchscreen, Lexus Safety System+ 3.0, heated front seats, and a heated steering wheel. For buyers who want to step into the luxury electric SUV segment without overextending, it delivers exactly what it promises. RZ 350e Premium — $49,495 (Including Destination) At $49,495, the RZ 350e Premium adds meaningfully to the base model. That roughly $2,200 premium gets you a panoramic glass roof, a power rear door with kick sensor, intuitive parking assist with auto braking, and a panoramic view monitor. Buyers who want a more refined daily driver without jumping to the dual-motor setup will find this trim hits a practical sweet spot. RZ 450e — $50,795 (Including Destination) This is where the lineup shifts in character. The RZ 450e introduces a 308 hp dual-motor AWD system, EPA-rated at 261 miles of range, built on the same feature foundation as the 350e Premium. At $50,795, it appeals to buyers who want all-weather traction and more responsive acceleration. If you're commuting across Silicon Valley and want added confidence in variable road conditions, the 450e is a meaningful step up from the 350e family. RZ 450e Premium — $52,995 (Including Destination) The RZ 450e Premium layers additional luxury onto the dual-motor platform. For roughly $2,200 more than the base 450e, you gain heated and ventilated front seats, ambient door trim shadow illumination, intuitive parking assist with auto braking, and a power rear door with kick sensor. EPA-rated range ticks up to 264 miles. For shoppers who want both performance and a noticeably more premium cabin, this trim earns its price. RZ 450e Luxury — $58,295 (Including Destination) The RZ 450e Luxury is the most complete expression of what the 450e platform can offer. At $58,295, it brings heated rear outboard seats, Tsuyasumi interior trim, multicolor ambient lighting, 20-inch split-10-spoke alloy wheels, and a Mark Levinson 13-speaker premium surround sound system. Buyers who want a top-tier electric SUV experience without the sportier F SPORT orientation will find this the most satisfying choice in the lineup. RZ 550e F SPORT — $58,295 (Including Destination) Same price as the RZ 450e Luxury, but a completely different personality. The RZ 550e F SPORT delivers 402 hp from its dual-motor AWD system, EPA-rated at 229 miles of range. Lexus adds a rear spoiler, a distinctive front grille, 20-inch wheels, and F SPORT-specific interior materials throughout. For buyers who want the Lexus name alongside genuine performance credentials, this is the trim that delivers. RZ 350e vs. RZ 450e vs. RZ 550e: How Powertrain Choice Drives the Price The most significant pricing jump in the RZ lineup isn't between trim levels within a family. It's between powertrain families. Moving from the RZ 350e to the RZ 450e means stepping from a single front-motor FWD setup to a 308 hp dual-motor AWD configuration, a $3,500 difference in starting price. The 350e is built around efficiency, rated at 125 MPGe combined, and suits buyers who primarily commute, want the lowest entry cost, and don't need all-weather traction. The 450e changes the conversation entirely, adding AWD and more responsive acceleration, rated at 107 MPGe combined. It's better suited for drivers who want a performance edge alongside confident handling. The 550e F SPORT goes further still with 402 hp, tuned specifically for spirited driving. Range drops to 229 miles compared to the 450e family, so buyers who prioritize performance over maximum range will feel most at home here. Each powertrain serves a distinct kind of driver, and the Lexus RZ MSRP structure reflects those differences honestly. If you're ready to explore financing options before your visit, you can get pre-approved online and come in knowing your numbers. What Moving Up a Trim Level Actually Gets You Within each powertrain family, the incremental value of stepping up a trim is pretty specific. The jump from the RZ 350e to the RZ 350e Premium adds a panoramic glass roof and the panoramic view monitor, features you'll notice on every single drive. Moving from the base RZ 450e to the RZ 450e Premium introduces ventilated front seats and ambient door illumination, refinements that make a real difference during Bay Area summers. The RZ 450e Luxury goes further by adding the Mark Levinson audio system, Tsuyasumi trim details, and heated rear seating, elements that elevate the cabin experience significantly. The F SPORT, by contrast, trades some of that softness for a sharper, more driver-focused setup. Both the RZ 450e Luxury and RZ 550e F SPORT land at $58,295, so the choice between them really comes down to whether you want maximum refinement or maximum performance from the same budget. 2026 Lexus RZ Cost of Ownership Beyond the Sticker Price The Lexus RZ cost doesn't stop at the window sticker. According to Kelley Blue Book data, the five-year cost to own the 2026 RZ is estimated at $61,464, with an estimated residual value of $20,385 after five years. That context matters when you're weighing purchase cost against total value delivered. As a fully electric vehicle, the RZ eliminates gasoline costs entirely. Routine maintenance tends to run lower for EVs as well. There's no engine oil to change, brake wear is reduced through regenerative braking, and the drivetrain is mechanically simpler overall. Lexus's warranty coverage applies across all trims: 4-year/50,000-mile basic and 6-year/70,000-mile powertrain. As an all-electric vehicle, the RZ also benefits from an 8-year/100,000-mile hybrid battery warranty covering the EV battery and related components. On incentives: eligible buyers may qualify for a federal EV tax credit of up to $7,500 under current IRS guidelines, subject to income caps and North American assembly requirements. Confirm your eligibility with a tax advisor before assuming any credit applies to your purchase. State-level incentives in California may also be available separately.

Buying a luxury SUV is a serious financial commitment, and pricing is almost always where the research starts. The 2026 Lexus GX 550 starts at $67,735 and climbs across six trim levels, each built for a distinct kind of buyer. Whether you're after daily-driver comfort, a more refined cabin, or genuine trail capability, this guide breaks down what each trim costs, what it adds, and where your money actually goes furthest. Feel free to browse our current GX 550 inventory at Lexus Stevens Creek while you're doing your research. We serve buyers throughout San Jose, Silicon Valley, and the greater Bay Area. more What Is the Starting Price of the 2026 Lexus GX? The 2026 Lexus GX 550 starts at $67,735 MSRP for the entry-level Premium trim. That puts it in competitive territory within the luxury midsize SUV segment, where it goes up against the Mercedes-Benz, Land Rover, and BMW lineups. For that price, you get a body-on-frame platform with real off-road capability, a turbocharged powertrain, and the build quality Lexus has been refining for decades. The GX 550 price then climbs across five additional trims, each layering in more comfort, technology, or trail-ready hardware. Understanding that progression helps you avoid paying for features you'll never touch, or missing ones that would have genuinely mattered to you. 2026 Lexus GX Trim-by-Trim Price Breakdown The GX lineup is structured around distinct buyer profiles rather than arbitrary feature stacking. The table below gives you a side-by-side look at all six trims before we dig into each one individually. Trim Starting MSRP Drivetrain Horsepower Towing Capacity Key Distinguishing Feature Premium $67,735 Full-time 4WD 349 hp 9,063 lbs NuLuxe interior, 7-passenger seating Premium+ $72,200 Full-time 4WD 349 hp 9,041 lbs Panoramic View Monitor, heated 2nd-row seats Luxury $80,200 Full-time 4WD 349 hp 7,844 lbs Semi-aniline leather, 22-inch forged alloy wheels, front massaging seats Luxury+ $84,200 Full-time 4WD 349 hp 7,601 lbs Mark Levinson 21-speaker audio, Dynamic Sky panorama glass roof Overtrail $75,380 Full-time 4WD 349 hp 9,096 lbs E-KDSS, locking rear differential, 5-passenger Overtrail+ $82,845 Full-time 4WD 349 hp 9,063 lbs Overtrail hardware + front massaging seats, heated 2nd-row seats Premium – $67,735 The Premium trim is a genuinely strong starting point. NuLuxe synthetic leather upholstery, 7-passenger seating, a power liftgate, and Lexus Safety System+ all come standard. That suite covers pre-collision warning, lane departure alert, and radar cruise control across every trim in the lineup. For buyers entering the Lexus brand for the first time, the Premium delivers a complete luxury experience without needing an immediate step up. Premium+ – $72,200 The Premium+ adds features that improve everyday driving in practical, noticeable ways. A surround-view camera (Panoramic View Monitor), heated second-row seats, a kick-sensor power liftgate, and heated front seats and steering wheel are the main additions over the base Premium. These aren't flashy upgrades. They're the kind of improvements you quietly appreciate on a cold morning or during a school pickup loop. For most buyers, the Premium+ represents the strongest features-per-dollar configuration in the entire lineup. Luxury – $80,200 This is where the cabin transformation becomes hard to ignore. Semi-aniline leather replaces NuLuxe seating material, 22-inch forged alloy wheels replace the standard units, and front massaging seats arrive as a real comfort upgrade for longer drives. The interior takes on a measurably more elevated character throughout. For buyers who primarily use their GX as a daily driver or road-trip vehicle rather than a trail runner, the Luxury trim strikes a compelling balance. Once you've sat in it, walking away from the step up gets difficult. Luxury+ – $84,200 The Luxury+ is the ceiling for comfort-focused buyers. The Mark Levinson 21-speaker audio delivers a listening experience that genuinely stands apart from every other trim. A Dynamic Sky panorama glass roof opens up the already-refined cabin visually, and the front massaging seats carry over from the Luxury. If off-road performance isn't a priority and cabin refinement is what you're really after, the Luxury+ covers everything the GX has to offer in that direction. Overtrail – $75,380 The Overtrail takes the GX somewhere completely different. Lexus equips it with E-KDSS (Electronic Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System), a locking rear differential, and all-terrain tires, which is hardware built for serious terrain rather than comfort layering. Worth noting: the Overtrail runs a 5-passenger configuration, not the 7-passenger layout found in the Premium and Luxury trims. The exterior styling signals its intent clearly too, separating it visually from the comfort-focused trims. Buyers who want a GX that genuinely ventures beyond paved roads should give the Overtrail a close look. Overtrail+ – $82,845 The Overtrail+ carries all of the base Overtrail's off-road hardware and adds front massaging seats and heated second-row seats. It's a specific combination of trail capability and interior comfort that the standard Overtrail simply doesn't offer. This trim appeals to a very particular buyer: someone unwilling to choose between serious adventure capability and high-end comfort on the same vehicle. If that sounds like you, the Overtrail+ is the only GX trim that fully delivers on both fronts. Quick Pick: Match Your Priorities to Your Trim Best features-per-dollar for most buyers → Premium+ (surround-view camera, heated seating rows, kick-sensor door) On-road comfort and technology priority → Luxury+ (Mark Levinson audio, Dynamic Sky panorama glass roof, massaging seats) Off-road capability as a priority → Overtrail or Overtrail+ (E-KDSS, locking rear differential) Family-focused with maximum seating → Any Premium or Luxury trim (7-passenger); Overtrail trims are 5-passenger only How Optional Packages and Add-Ons Affect the 2026 Lexus GX Price Choosing a trim is just the beginning. Lexus offers packages and standalone add-ons across several trims that can shift your final total in meaningful ways. The Cold Area package brings heated second-row captain's chairs and related cold-weather equipment. A digital key option is available on select trims. Certain premium paint colors carry an additional charge as well. Buyers who want to maximize value should focus on options that match how they'll actually use the vehicle day to day. The GX 550 build and price tool on the Lexus website lets you see exactly what each addition costs before you ever set foot in a dealership. Destination Charges, Fees, and Your True Out-the-Door Cost MSRP figures are a starting point, not a final number. Destination charges typically add $1,500 to $2,000 to the sticker. In California, state sales tax and registration fees add significantly on top of that. Bay Area buyers should realistically plan for a total out-the-door cost well above any published MSRP. Documentation charges and dealer-installed accessories layer in further. None of this needs to catch you off guard if you plan for it upfront. We encourage buyers to get pre-approved for financing before arriving so the conversation stays focused on the vehicle rather than the paperwork. Asking for a complete out-the-door price breakdown before signing anything is the clearest way to understand your actual commitment. Which 2026 Lexus GX Trim Offers the Best Value? For buyers who primarily drive on paved roads, the Premium+ consistently stands out. The surround-view camera, heated second-row seats, and kick-sensor power liftgate are all practical, daily-use upgrades over the base Premium at a modest price increase. Buyers focused on the interior experience will find the Luxury trim worth the step up for its semi-aniline leather and front massaging seats. Those who want maximum comfort and technology should look at the Luxury+ for the Mark Levinson audio system and Dynamic Sky panorama glass roof. Off-road buyers should start with the Overtrail and consider moving up to the Overtrail+ if heated seating and massage functionality matter on trail trips. The most honest guide is knowing how you'll actually use the vehicle. Pick the trim whose features you'll reach for regularly, not the one with the most impressive list on paper. How the GX 550 Compares to Its Rivals The 2026 Lexus GX 550 competes in a segment with some serious alternatives. The BMW X5 starts around $68,300 but climbs quickly once you start adding packages. The Land Rover Defender starts near $63,500 at entry but reaches comparable configurations well above $70,000. The Mercedes-Benz GLE begins around $62,250 and tops out above $130,000 fully loaded. The GX 550's pricing sits competitively across that range, and its body-on-frame construction offers a durability advantage that unibody competitors simply can't match.

The 2026 model brings real advances in driving range and charging access that cut down on range anxiety. Extended Range Improvements Over 2025 The 2026 lineup delivers solid range increases across all trims: Trim 2026 Range Improvement Over 2025 RZ 350e (FWD) 301 miles +36 miles vs. 2025 RZ 300e RZ 450e (AWD) 264 miles +41 miles vs. 2025 RZ 450e RZ 550e (AWD) 229 miles New trim with larger battery Each trim tackles different priorities. The RZ 350e maximizes efficiency if you want the longest possible range. The RZ 450e adds confident all-weather handling without giving up too much distance. The RZ 550e prioritizes dynamic performance while keeping respectable range. NACS Port Integration for Tesla Supercharger Access The North American Charging Standard (NACS) port completely changes the ownership experience for 2026 RZ drivers. Direct access to over 25,000 Tesla Supercharger plugs across North America kills range anxiety on longer trips. You don't need to hunt around for compatible third-party charging stations or stress about reliability during highway travel. This integration just works. The NACS port replaces the old CCS port, giving you adapter-free access to Tesla's massive charging infrastructure. Lexus includes both SAE J1772 and CCS adapters for backward compatibility with existing charging networks. Learn more about Lexus vehicles charging at Tesla Superchargers for complete details on this capability. 2026 Lexus RZ Range Specifications by Trim Understanding each trim's specs helps match your choice to how you actually drive: Trim Level Drivetrain Battery Capacity EPA Range RZ 350e Front-Wheel Drive 74.69 kWh 301 miles RZ 450e All-Wheel Drive 74.69 kWh 264 miles RZ 550e All-Wheel Drive 76.96 kWh 229 miles RZ 350e FWD EPA Range and Efficiency Ratings The front-wheel drive RZ 350e hits the best efficiency in the lineup with an EPA-estimated 301 miles. The single-motor design cuts weight and energy consumption compared to dual-motor setups, which means fewer charging stops on longer drives. This setup handles daily commuting perfectly and makes weekend trips convenient, especially with Tesla Supercharger access through the NACS port. The efficiency gains don't mess with the premium interior, advanced safety systems, or smooth ride quality that make a Lexus feel like a Lexus. RZ 450e AWD EPA Range and Efficiency Ratings The all-wheel drive RZ 450e balances capability with range, delivering around 261 miles per charge according to EPA estimates. The dual-motor setup gives you superior traction in rain, snow, and tricky road conditions. That makes this version particularly appealing for Bay Area drivers who occasionally head up to the mountains. The system smartly distributes power between front and rear motors, optimizing both efficiency and performance based on what you're dealing with right now. Sure, the range is lower than the FWD model, but the added confidence in varied weather usually makes the tradeoff worth it. Charging Rates and Times: Complete Breakdown Better charging capabilities make daily ownership smoother. Both home and public charging got meaningful upgrades for 2026. We encourage San Jose area customers to browse 2026 Lexus RZ models and talk through charging setup options with our team. Level 2 Home Charging Performance (240V) The upgraded 11.0 kW onboard AC charger cuts down charging time at home significantly. With a 240-volt Level 2 home charging station, you can fully top off the battery overnight, starting each day with maximum range for your regular driving. Most RZ owners do the bulk of their charging at home, which makes this upgrade especially valuable. The charging port works with standard J1772 connectors, so it's compatible with most residential charging equipment. Many utility companies offer incentives or special off-peak rates for EV charging. DC Fast Charging Speeds and Peak Rates DC fast charging delivers practical speed for highway travel. Under optimal conditions, the 2026 RZ charges from 10% to 80% in about 30 minutes at its peak rate of 150 kW. That timing works perfectly for productive rest stops where you can stretch, grab snacks, and get back on the road with solid range restored. Peak charging rates change based on battery temperature, current charge level, and what the charger can handle. The battery management system optimizes charging speed while protecting long-term battery health. You'll see the fastest rates when the battery sits between 10% and 60% charge, with speeds dropping above 80% to keep the battery healthy long-term. Plug & Charge Capability The 2026 model introduces Plug & Charge technology for streamlined charging sessions. After one-time enrollment through the Lexus app, you just plug in at compatible stations and charging starts automatically, handling authentication and billing without extra steps. This works at participating DC fast-charging networks, making the charging experience as convenient as possible. Charging the 2026 Lexus RZ at Tesla Superchargers Tesla's Supercharger network offers unmatched reliability and coverage across North America. The 2026 RZ integrates with this network through the NACS port, eliminating a major concern for people considering EVs. Supercharger stations are strategically placed along major highways, in cities, and near popular destinations. Stations typically feature multiple charging stalls, cutting wait times during busy travel periods. Tesla's infrastructure is known for consistent operation and high-speed charging that matches the RZ's capabilities. Using a Supercharger is straightforward. Just plug in, and the system handles authentication and billing automatically. The vehicle's navigation system identifies nearby Supercharger locations and can plan routes that include optimal charging stops based on where you're going and your current battery level. Battery Specifications and Warranty Coverage The 2026 RZ uses advanced liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery technology designed for both performance and durability: Specification Details Battery Type Liquid-cooled lithium-ion RZ 350e/450e Capacity 74.69 kWh RZ 550e Capacity 76.96 kWh Basic Warranty 4 years / 50,000 miles The battery packs use advanced chemistry that balances energy density with thermal stability. Warranty coverage gives you confidence in your investment, with comprehensive battery protection against defects and premature degradation that typically extends beyond the standard vehicle warranty. Sophisticated battery management systems continuously monitor and optimize performance. These systems prevent overcharging, excessive discharge, and temperature extremes that could hurt battery life, resulting in a pack that maintains capacity and performance throughout many years of ownership. Factors That Impact Real-World Range Getting EPA-estimated range means understanding how different conditions affect battery performance. Several factors influence actual driving range compared to official ratings. Temperature hits battery efficiency hard. Cold weather can noticeably cut range as the battery system works to maintain optimal operating temperature, and running the heater pulls additional power. Preconditioning the cabin while plugged in minimizes this impact by heating the interior using external power rather than battery capacity. Optimal range happens in temperatures between 20-30°C. How you drive makes a huge difference in range. Aggressive acceleration and high speeds eat more energy than smooth, moderate driving. Regenerative braking captures energy during deceleration, effectively extending range when you use it properly. Many drivers discover they can beat EPA estimates through efficient driving habits. Terrain and cargo weight also influence efficiency. Climbing hills requires more energy than flat roads, though descents help recover some through regeneration. Heavy loads or roof racks increase both weight and aerodynamic drag, cutting range. Understanding these variables helps you plan charging stops accurately and maximize distance between charges. Other factors include accessory use (especially climate control), weather conditions, and gradual battery degradation over time.

If you're a discriminating San Jose driver looking for a luxury, performance coupe, you have a short list of vehicles that will satisfy your needs. At the top of that list should be the 2026 Lexus LC 500. The LC 500 has the performance driving you crave, coupled with the ultra-luxurious cabin you deserve. Join us as we explore the exceptional engineering and sophisticated styling of the LC 500 coupe that separates it from the competition. more What Sets the 2026 Lexus LC 500 Apart The 2026 Lexus LC 500 stands out with a classic coupe silhouette blended with modern style. As one of the few remaining luxury sport coupes using naturally aspirated V-8 engines, the LC 500 offers driving enthusiasts the deep thrum of 471 horsepower while being pampered with a cabin loaded with luxurious features. Key Updates for the 2026 Model Year The 2026 model year features the special-edition Inspiration Series with signature styling elements such as the new paint Smoke Matte Gray, black-and-white semi-aniline leather upholstery, and a carbon-fiber rear spoiler. Lexus has limited production to 200 units this year. Lexus doesn't offer a hybrid powertrain for the 2026 LC 500. Performance Philosophy Lexus designed its LC 500 with a sculpted exterior. When you hear the engine roar and see the athletic posture, you can't help but imagine how fast it accelerates. And while it does impress with a 4.4-second sprint to 60 mph, Lexus put track-ready performance secondary to high-speed ride comfort and an elegant, luxurious interior. The Heart of Performance: 5.0L V8 Engine Specifications The heart of the Lexus LC 500 beats from its 5.0-liter naturally aspirated V-8 engine. From the air intakes to the active sport exhaust, this powertrain is fine-tuned for performance you can hear and enjoy. A close-ratio 10-speed direct-shift automatic transmission intelligently selects gear changes based on your driving style. Steering-wheel-mounted magnesium paddle shifters allow a connection with your LC 500, delivering a more thrilling driving experience. This powertrain produces 471 horsepower and 398 lb-ft of torque, helping you tackle the I-280 or I-880 traffic with ease. Handling Dynamics and Driving Performance Using a front-midship design, the LC 500 boasts near-perfect weight balance. Strategic exterior design elements channel air to reduce lift and drag and improve handling. Lexus built the LC 500 suspension using lightweight components. A rear-mounted performance damper, adaptive variable suspension, and active rear steering systems work together to deliver thrilling athletic performance. You also get the added traction of a Torsen limited-slip rear differential that optimizes control in various weather conditions. An obsession with perfection led Lexus to use six-piston monoblock front brake calipers to enhance stopping power, and the active rear steering system keeps the LC 500 firmly gripped to the road while cornering or zipping over to Levi's Stadium. Performance-Oriented Features and Technology The LC 500 Coupe's rear-mounted performance damper lets the chassis absorb and dissipate vibrations from the road, resulting in a smoother ride and better control. An adaptive variable suspension system intelligently adjusts the shock absorber's stiffness to offset driving conditions. This system softens damping to smooth out bumps in the road and stiffens to reduce body roll and enhance traction while cornering. Lexus added its active rear steering technology to improve ride quality. This system allows the rear wheels to turn slightly, either with or against the front wheels. At low speeds, the feature lets the LC 500 make tighter turns. The system increases stability for safer lane changes and better handling on the highway. Fuel Economy Considerations for Performance Enthusiasts Performance enthusiasts don't typically concern themselves with fuel economy, but the Lexus LC 500 V-8 engine gets better fuel economy than you might expect. The EPA hasn't released mpg ratings for the 2026 model year, but with no significant mechanical changes, we expect the 2025 figures to carry over. On surface roads around San Jose, the LC 500 gets 16 mpg. The LC 500 gets an EPA-estimated 24 mpg on California highways. Pricing and Performance Value Proposition Lexus created the LC 500 to emphasize the balance between functional sporting intent and luxurious comfort, resulting in an eye-catching sport coupe with outstanding performance. The exterior features a unique mesh grille and chrome-plated moldings along the edges in the shape of a traditional Japanese sword. A large glass panel and blacked-out rear pillars create the appearance of a floating roof. The signature lighting includes ultra-compact, triple-projector LED headlights and taillamps inspired by the glow of a jet's afterburners. Inside the cabin, a low instrument panel, hood line, and narrow pillars provide you with a commanding view of San Jose streets. The quality finish of the upholstery, trim materials, and detailing clearly reflects the Takumi craftsmanship style for which Lexus is known. The hand-stitched leather-wrapped shift lever, Alcantara leather trim, and more luxury materials drape the cabin in sophisticated comfort. Color schemes such as Toasted Caramel and Rioja Red complement the exposed Satin Metallic trim. 2026 Lexus LC 500 Price Overview The Lexus LC 500 comes in two trims: Lexus LC 500 Coup: $101,700 MSRP Lexus LC 500 Coupe Inspiration Series: $121,250 MSRP We recommend you pre-order the Inspiration Series coupe or convertible, as production levels are limited to 200 and 350 units, respectively, in North America. Performance Value The LC 500 Coupe's naturally aspirated V-8 engine, distinctive style, and luxury appointments offer strong value versus the competition. The LC 500 offers a more engaging driving experience and top-tier comfort at a lower price point than its rivals. Is the 2026 Lexus LC 500 Performance Right for You? At Lexus of Stevens Creek, we know what luxury driving enthusiasts want in a sport coupe.

Although the rear seats comfortably accommodate two adults, the middle passenger may find it uncomfortable due to the central channel.
