Overview
The Lexus RX is a five-seat executive SUV launched in 2023, aimed at buyers who want an AWD Lexus rather than a seven-seat alternative. Malaysian prices start from RM468,888 for the petrol RX 350 Luxury and rise to RM512,888 for the RX 500h F Sport Special Edition. Every version has a 2,393 cc powertrain, automatic transmission and AWD.
RX in 2026 — what's new
In 2026, the RX 500h F Sport Special Edition returns in a new batch. It remains limited and keeps its RM512,888 price, with exclusive design touches rather than a stated mechanical change. The wider RX range carries on with the RX 350 Luxury petrol model and RX 500h F Sport hybrid, both AWD five-seaters. No 2026-wide RX facelift or powertrain revision is stated.

Which variant to buy
For most buyers, the RX 500h F Sport at RM498,888 is the pick. Its RM30,000 step up from the RX 350 Luxury buys hybrid power and 463 hp, against 275 hp from the petrol model. Choose the RM468,888 RX 350 Luxury if the lower entry price matters more than output. The RM512,888 RX 500h F Sport Special Edition costs RM14,000 more than the regular F Sport; pay that only if its limited-run status and exclusive design touches matter to you.

Lexus RX buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The RX gives buyers a five-seat AWD executive SUV with either 275 hp petrol or 463 hp hybrid power. Price is the hard part: the entry RX costs more than the Mazda CX-80, Volkswagen Touareg and Volvo XC90, while sitting close to the Audi Q7, Audi Q8 e-tron and BMW X5. The 500h has a clear output advantage, but the RX is not a low-price route into this class.
