Since 1998, the Lexus RX has stood as a beacon of both luxury and performance. Like any Lexus vehicle, the RX is packed with state-of-the-art features and technology. The 2024 Lexus RX is no exception to this rule and has multiple new features for this model year. Additionally, new to the 2024 RX lineup is the RX 450h+ Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle, giving you another RX choice. Keep reading for a detailed breakdown of the 2024 Lexus RX and all its outstanding attributes.
Trims
There are now three versions of the 2024 Lexus RX: the RX, the RX Hybrid, and the RX Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle. While there is only one trim for the plug-in, the RX and RX Hybrid come in multiple versions. Trims for the RX are:
- RX 350.
- RX 350 Premium.
- RX 350 Premium+.
- RX 350 Luxury.
- RX 350 F Sport Handling AWD.
Trims for the RX Hybrid are:
- RX 350h AWD.
- RX 350h Premium AWD.
- RX 350h Premium+ AWD.
- RX 350h Luxury AWD.
- RX 450h+ Luxury AWD.
- RX 500h F Sport Performance AWD.
While these trims have different standard features, they all share sleek design, top technology, and multiple driver-friendly features. The RX trim you select will depend primarily on what’s most important to you to have in your vehicle. Those who want to maximize their mileage will want to explore either the hybrid or plug-in hybrid versions of the RX. Conversely, the RX 350 F Sport Handling is perfect if you want a more thrilling ride.
Engine and Performance
Depending on the trim you select, your Lexus RX will come with one of four available engine options. These options include:
- A 2.4-liter turbo in-line four-cylinder engine that generates 275 hp and 317 lb-ft of torque.
- An in-line four-cylinder with Hybrid Electric Drive that produces 246 hp and 233 lb-ft of torque.
- An in-line four-cylinder engine with Lexus Plug-In Hybrid Electric Drive that generates 304 hp.
- A 2.4-liter turbo in-line four-cylinder engine with Lexus Hybrid Electric Drive that produces 366 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque.
An eight-speed automatic transmission with front-wheel drive is standard for most RX trims. However, certain trims carry either an electronically-controlled continuously variable transmission and paddle shifters with all-wheel drive or a six-speed, sequential-shift, electronically-controlled automatic transmission and paddle shifters with all-wheel drive.
Regardless of the trim and engine you select, every RX delivers a smooth and luxurious ride. Driving a Lexus RX is just as comfortable and quiet as operating any other SUV on the market, perhaps even more so. Likewise, responsive and easy-to-handle brakes make you feel in total control even during emergency stops. The RX’s handling matches these other attributes; it’s precise and gives you confidence across almost any type of road or driving conditions.
Interior and Technology
The Lexus RX’s interior and technology features are where the vehicle shines. As a compact SUV, every RX trim comes exclusively as a two-row five-seater. Despite this compact designation, the RX is spacious and comfortable even with all five seats filled. This spaciousness extends to the RX’s cargo space, which is generous enough to fit multiple pieces of luggage when road-tripping.
Depending on the trim you choose, other notable available interior and technology features include:
- A 10-inch head-up display to project vital information onto your windshield at customizable heights and keep you safer by reducing your need to check your instrument gauge.
- Mark Levinson PurePlay Surround Sound with 1,800 watts and 21 speakers to deliver pristine fidelity sound throughout the cabin.
- Heated steering wheel.
- Heated and ventilated front seats and 40/20/20-split-power folding/reclining rear outboard seats.
- Radiant knee heater.
- Wireless phone charger.
- A digital rearview mirror that transforms into a digital display to provide an obstruction-free view of what’s behind your Lexus.
- A 9.8- or 14-inch touch-screen infotainment system compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
- A panoramic view monitor with four cameras to give you a bird’s eye view of your surroundings during tight maneuvers or while parking.
- Wi-Fi Connect AT&T-powered hotspot.
- Advanced Park to help you park at the touch of a button. You can park hands-free, whether parallel parking or backing into a tight space.
- Digital Latch With Safe Exit Assist to warn you of motorists or cyclists approaching your RX from behind and prevent the door from opening until you’re clear.
Safety Features
Standard on each new Lexus vehicle is the Lexus Safety System+, a suite of advanced safety technologies that includes:
- Pre-collision system with pedestrian detection and intersection support.
- Lane tracing assist to keep you centered in the lane and provide steering assistance.
- Lane departure alert with steering assist to keep your vehicle in its lane.

- All-speed dynamic radar cruise control with curve speed management to keep you at a preset speed and distance from the vehicle ahead of you, even in stop-and-go traffic.
