PLANO, Texas (Sept. 17, 2026) – Refined, versatile and endlessly in demand, the Lexus RX blends luxurious comfort, spacious utility and effortless performance in a package that’s defined the luxury crossover segment for nearly three decades. For 2027, it is sharpening its style with optional red front and rear brake calipers on the F SPORT Handling and Performance grades.

The 2027 Lexus RX is available in six grades: Premium, Premium+, Luxury, F SPORT Handling, F SPORT Performance and F SPORT Design. Exterior color options include Cloudburst Gray, Iridium, Caviar, Matador Red Mica, Nori Green Pearl, Nightfall Mica, Ultra White and Incognito (F SPORT only).

The 2027 Lexus RX is expected to arrive at dealerships later this Fall.

The GA-K Platform
The 2027 RX rides atop the GA-K platform, which has a low center of gravity.

Bracing at the radiator support, center floor, rear suspension towers, and back door opening contribute to overall rigidity. The 2027 RX measures 192.5 inches long, with a wheelbase of 112.2 inches and a track width of 65 inches in front, and 66 inches in the rear. The rear section of the platform features a multi-link suspension design, attached to a rigid high-torsion rear body frame that facilitates consistent suspension input/travel during acceleration, deceleration and steering moments.

The GA-K platform provides ample legroom for rear passengers. RX guests will also enjoy generous cargo space and a low back door trim to help decrease loading height.

A Powertrain for Everyone
RX 350 (FWD/AWD)
The 275-horsepower, turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine realizes 317 lb.-ft. of torque and high output thanks to several advanced technologies like a center injection system (for more stable combustion), lightweight, spherical lipless pistons (for high-speed combustion), and a continuously variable capacity oil pump (to modify discharge volume based on running conditions). A short-ratio eight-speed Direct Shift-8AT offers a shift control program that provides smooth acceleration and deceleration. The electronically controlled full-time AWD constantly varies the front-to-rear driving force distribution from 75:25 to 50:50 (depending on situation).

RX 350h (AWD)
A hybrid motor coupled with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder Atkinson-cycle gasoline engine with 246 total system horsepower and 233 lb.-ft. of torque is teamed with a high-output, low-resistance nickel-metal hydride battery that offers a high level of output. The 216-cell battery is located below the rear seat, thus enabling passenger comfort and providing storage capacity. RX HEV can be equipped with E-Four, Lexus’ innovative all-wheel drive system which places a motor at the rear axle for near-instantaneous drive force application in low-grip and acceleration scenarios.

RX 450h+ (AWD)
Powered by a high-capacity lithium-ion battery paired with a 2.5-liter inline 4-cylinder engine (shared with NX), the 2027 RX 450h+ hybrid system has an EPA-estimated combined 85 MPGe rating. The system provides luxury performance and consistent acceleration off the line with an estimated 6.2 second 0-60 time. In addition, the RX 450h+ has an EPA-estimated 38-mile range rating on electric power only.

All RX450h+ models come standard with a Dual-Voltage vehicle-charging cable for 120V and 240V outlets, and all models are equipped with a J1772 (Type 1) socket for at-home and public charging. A high-output, high-efficiency system designed to reduce power loss when converting from AC power to DC power can result in faster charging times. Using the maximum charging current of 240V and, under ideal conditions, the Lexus RX 450h+ can be fully charged in approximately two-and-a-half hours with the standard 6.6 kW Onboard Charger.

The RX 450h+ utilizes an electronically controlled, full-time AWD system for a confident, sporty driving experience led by Lexus Driving Signature vehicle fundamentals. Optimizing front and rear torque distribution according to the driving conditions, the driver can control the vehicle as preferred throughout varied road conditions and driving styles.

RX 500h F SPORT Performance AWD
A next level of dynamism is realized by the high-performance hybrid 271-horsepower, 2.4-liter turbocharged inline-four that’s matched to a six-speed automatic gearbox and integrated Power Control Unit and electric motor. At the rear, an 80-kW eAxle consisting of an inverter and motor provides near-instantaneous power to the rear wheels. Together with a high-output, low-resistance nickel-metal hydride battery, the system produces 366 hp and 406 lb.-ft. of torque total. A DIRECT4 all-wheel drive system orchestrates a seamless, direct application of drive force between the front and rear axles in milliseconds, thus improving handling, controllability, and feel.

Suspension
MacPherson front struts provide sharp turn-in and confident, linear handling. Suspension arms and bushings absorb the passing road’s high frequency vibrations and shocks. The rear’s five-arm multi-link setup is compact, yielding additional cabin space for passengers, cargo, and, for hybrid powertrains, battery pack placement.

Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) (available on F SPORT Handling and F SPORT Performance)
RX’s available AVS system helps provide a comfortable ride, stability, and superior steering response. AVS uses linear solenoid-type actuators to modify shock absorbers’ damping force with adjustments that are based on driving operation and road conditions.

Braking
Two-piston calipers biting on 13.39-inch front and rear rotors help to curb speed smoothly. For F SPORT Handling and F SPORT Performance, composed braking arrives via opposed six-piston aluminum calipers and 15.74-inch front rotors. The opposed calipers are 2.4 pounds lighter than those used on the LS and LC.

Dynamic Rear Steering (DRS)
F SPORT Performance’s available DRS system can provide impressive maneuverability. During higher speed maneuvers, the rear wheels turn in the same direction as the front wheels to give clear, stable turning response. At slower speeds, the rear wheels can seamlessly turn in the opposite direction as the front wheels for seamless low speed maneuverability. The DRS system allows for a maximum of 4 degrees steering angle – in phase or counter phase to the front wheels depending on speed.

Bold, Alluring Design
Exterior Features
A seamless grille at the front provides a strong, clean presence, and marks the origination of the spindle body that expresses athleticism and finesse in a sophisticated, dynamic shape. RX’s optimized proportions reflect the platform’s low center of gravity, while the 19- or 21-inch wheels (depending on grade) add stunning flair. At the rear, a single lens taillamp wraps around the body, further emphasizing the RX’s wide and low silhouette.

The RX’s front fascia’s refined shape efficiently directs airflow around the spindle body while cooling its brakes. Other aerodynamic elements include flush window and door molding, a rear spoiler, and dimpled underbody covers.

The F SPORT Performance features a standard panorama glass moonroof, a standard 14-inch, high-definition touchscreen, exclusive front and rear bumpers, and a piano black grille and accents. Its exclusive 21-inch wheels wear Michelin^® Pilot Sport^® tires made from a bespoke compound and tread pattern with a matte black finish. Additional black accents and body-colored sills distinguish the Performance model.

Interior Features
Inside the RX, the driver-focused cockpit design vision inspired by the Lexus Driving Signature intuitively orients all essential controls and information (e.g., gauges, available Head-Up Display, meters, etc.) within the driver’s reach and forward sightline and directs the space’s expansive, minimalist layout. A 12.3-inch multi-information display (MID) comes as standard across the lineup.

Small items can be stowed in several convenient locations. A front cubby located ahead of the gearshift features a front-rear sliding lid and houses a standard Qi-compatible wireless mobile device charger and USB connection. The central console box can be opened from either the driver or passenger side.

Front seats have been designed for accessibility, and superior ergonomic comfort even during the longest of commutes or road trips. Passengers in the available 40/20/40 power split-folding rear seat can charge their mobile devices on two USB Type-C outlets (six USB ports are found throughout the vehicle) or an available single AC power socket. The rear seats are available with power folding capabilities and available cooling and heating functions.

The 2027 RX is offered in six interior color options with four ornamentation styles depending on grade. Interior colors include Macadamia, Black, Birch, Palomino, Peppercorn and Rioja Red. Ornamentation styles include Black Cascade, Ash Bamboo, Black Open Pore Wood and Dark Graphite Aluminum.

An indirect illumination system resides seamlessly throughout the cabin as an expression of omotenashi. Lighting from a palette of 64 colors and 14 themes can be selected to best match a driver’s mood and energy.

For the F SPORT Handling and F SPORT Performance grades, an exclusive steering wheel and meter reside in front of the driver, while pedals are trimmed with aluminum. The sporty metal decorates the cabin, specifically at the dashboard and cup holder surrounds. Rioja Red and Black color themes can be selected for an athletic look and feel. The F SPORT Performance grade is even more distinct with darkened side sill and steering wheel logos.

If system conditions are met, the system is designed to provide automatic emergency braking. PCS uses a camera and millimeter-wave radar for enhanced performance and reliability. Features for LSS+ 3.0 include:

• Risk Avoidance Emergency Steer Assist – designed to provide additional steering torque during an emergency maneuver initiated by the driver, enhancing vehicle stability and helping prevent lane departure. This steering support function is designed to operate when the Pre-Collision System is turned ON, the turn signal is not being operated, the speed of the vehicle is between 25-50 mph and the relative speed to the detected object is between 25-50 mph. 
• Left Turn Oncoming Vehicle Detection/Braking – designed to provide a warning and automatic braking if the system determines a driver is turning left in front of an oncoming vehicle in certain daytime conditions.

Full-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC)
An adaptive cruise control system intended for highway use that uses radar and camera technology to help keep the vehicle at a preset speed and distance from vehicles ahead, even in stop-and-go traffic. If the system detects the vehicle getting closer than the preset distance, it automatically slows the vehicle — even to a complete stop. At highway speeds, when the road ahead clears, the vehicle returns to its preset speed. For LSS+ 3.0, the new Curve Speed Management feature is added, which will aid to manage speed in curves when cruise control is engaged and may lower vehicle speed if needed.

Lane Tracing Assist (LTA)
When Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) is enabled and lane markers are detected, Lane Tracing Assist (LTA) uses the lines on the road and/or preceding vehicles to provide active driving assistance and help keep the vehicle centered in its lane.
