Overview
The Lexus RX (ALA10) is a five-seat executive SUV aimed at buyers who want a premium family car with Lexus badging rather than a seven-seat layout. The Malaysian range starts at RM468,888 for the RX 350 Luxury, with a hybrid RX 500h F Sport above it. Both use a 2.4-litre powertrain and conventional automatic transmission.
RX in 2026 — what's new
The RX carries on in 2026 with the RX 350 Luxury and RX 500h F Sport as the regular Malaysian range. The latest update is the RX 500h F Sport Special Edition returning in a new limited batch at RM512,888, following the earlier 50-unit run with exclusive design touches. The core ALA10 line-up remains the 2023-generation, five-seat RX rather than an RX L replacement.

Which variant to buy
Most buyers should start with the RX 350 Luxury at RM468,888. It gets the 2,393 cc petrol engine, 275 hp, five seats, a conventional automatic, AEB and ACC. The RX 500h F Sport costs RM498,888, so the RM30,000 gap buys the hybrid/F Sport route rather than extra seating; both are five-seaters on paper, so check the equipment list if trim details decide it for you.

Verdict
The Lexus RX name carries history: before Lexus entered Japan, the first two Toyota Harrier generations were closely related to the RX, while the RX built a strong US following. In Malaysia, the ALA10 RX is priced high: the RX 350 Luxury starts just below a BMW X5 and above the Audi Q7, Denza B8, Volkswagen Touareg and Mazda CX-80 starting prices. Buy it for the Lexus badge and five-seat SUV format, not bargain hunting.
