Car Buyer's Guide

Overview

The ALA10 Lexus RX is a five-seat executive SUV launched in 2023. It suits buyers after a premium-badged five-seat SUV with a choice of petrol or petrol-hybrid power, rather than a three-row layout. The range starts with the RX 350 Luxury at RM468,888 and runs to RM512,888.

RX in 2026 — what's new

For 2026, Lexus brings in a new batch of the RX 500h F Sport Special Edition. It remains a limited model and retains its existing price. The current range consists of the RX 350 Luxury, RX 500h F Sport and RX 500h F Sport Special Edition. The Special Edition adds exclusive design touches; no broader 2026 RX mechanical change is announced.

Which variant to buy

Most buyers should take the RX 350 Luxury at RM468,888, which is the lowest-cost way into the range. Pay RM30,000 more for the RX 500h F Sport at RM498,888 if petrol-hybrid power is the priority. The RX 500h F Sport Special Edition costs RM512,888, or RM14,000 more than the regular F Sport, and its stated distinction is exclusive design touches. On paper, check the equipment list before paying extra for trim.

Verdict

RX pricing places it just RM912 below the BMW X5, while the Audi Q7 and Denza B8 ask less. It is not a low-price route into an executive SUV. The five-seat layout suits buyers who do not require the North America-only, three-row TX. Choose it for the RX format and its petrol or petrol-hybrid choices, not for seven-seat flexibility.
