  • Suite of available convenience and technology features
  • Starting MSRP of $49,950
  • Available by the end of 2023

PLANO, Texas (August 8, 2023) – The 2024 Lexus RX builds upon the refined features introduced in the fifth generation RX in 2023. Taking into consideration customer feedback, the 2024 RX enhances the available technology and convenience features to improve the driving and in-cabin experience. The highly anticipated 2024 RX 450h+ Plugin Hybrid Electric Vehicle is also added to complete the electrified lineup.

For 2024, two new exterior colors, Cloudburst Gray and Copper Crest, are added to the available options on select grades. The 2024 RX is expected to be available by the end of 2023.

The 2024 RX is offered in six grades: Standard, Premium, Premium+, Luxury, F SPORT Handling, and F SPORT Performance.

The GA-K Platform Difference

The 2024 RX is built on the GA-K platform, which is designed to be lighter than the previous generation’s platform. With a lower center of gravity achieved through the use of stronger metals, innovative adhesives, and welds, the 2024 RX promises excellent stability and enhanced handling. The platform’s rear section features a multi-link suspension design, attached to a rigid high-torsion rear body frame for optimal suspension input and consistent performance.

The GA-K platform provides ample legroom for rear passengers and generous cargo space. Additionally, it features a low back door trim for easy loading.

A Powertrain for Everyone

The 2024 RX offers a range of powertrain options to suit different preferences and needs:

  • RX 350 (FWD/AWD): Powered by a 275-hp turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine with a center injection system, lightweight pistons, and a continuously variable capacity oil pump. It is equipped with an eight-speed Direct Shift-8AT and offers a front-to-rear driving force distribution for optimal performance.
  • RX 350h (AWD): A hybrid motor combined with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder Atkinson-cycle gasoline engine, paired with a high-output, low-resistance nickel-metal hydride battery. It offers 246 total system horsepower and is available with E-Four, Lexus’ all-wheel drive system.
  • RX 450h+ (AWD): Powered by a high-capacity lithium-ion battery and a 2.5-liter inline 4-cylinder engine, the RX 450h+ hybrid system delivers luxury performance and a manufacturer-estimated combined 83 MPGe rating. It offers a 35-mile driving range on electric power alone.
  • RX 500h F SPORT Performance AWD: Equipped with a high-performance hybrid system that combines a 271-hp 2.4-liter turbocharged inline-four engine with an integrated Power Control Unit and electric motor. It offers a total output of 366 hp and 406 lb.-ft. of torque.

Suspension

The 2024 RX features MacPherson front struts for sharp turn-in and confident handling. The rear suspension is a five-arm multi-link setup, which maximizes cabin space and provides a comfortable ride. The available Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) offers further control and stability by adjusting the damping force based on driving conditions.

Braking and Dynamic Rear Steering (DRS)

The braking system of the 2024 RX includes two-piston calipers for smooth speed control. For F SPORT Handling and F SPORT Performance grades, six-piston aluminum calipers and larger front rotors enhance braking performance. The F SPORT Performance grade also features Dynamic Rear Steering (DRS), which improves maneuverability at different speeds by coordinating rear wheel movements.

Bold, Alluring Design

Exterior Features

The 2024 RX showcases a strong and dynamic design. Its spindle body grille, optimized proportions, and sleek lines convey a sense of athleticism and sophistication. Enhanced aerodynamics contribute to improved handling, and the available 19- or 21-inch wheels add a touch of elegance. At the rear, the single lens taillamp emphasizes the wide and low silhouette of the RX.
