2025 Lexus RX Range and Performance

The 2025 Lexus RX leads the luxury midsize SUV pack with a range that includes gas, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid options to meet every taste. And Lexus hasn’t been resting on its laurels for 2025 – the automaker has rolled out fresh interior touches and driving updates that make this already fantastic SUV even better.
Engine Options: From Efficiency to Power
The 2025 Lexus RX gives you plenty of choices under the hood. The RX 350 packs a punch with its turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, cranking out 275 horsepower and a hefty 317 lb-ft of torque. That’s paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and a choice of front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD). The FWD version sips gas at a reserved 22 mpg in the city, 29 mpg on the highway, and 25 mpg combined, while the AWD consumes a little more at 21/28/24 mpg.
Want better gas mileage? The RX 350h hybrid marries a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with electric motors for a combined 246 horsepower and 233 lb-ft of torque, with AWD as standard and a continuously variable transmission. The real win is in the fuel economy, which jumps to an eye-catching 37/34/36 mpg. Taking it up another notch, the RX 450h+ plug-in hybrid offers 304 hp and up to 37 miles of electric-only driving, great for that Oklahoma City commute. It gets a combined 83 MPGe and charges in roughly 2.5 hours using a 240-volt charger.
If it’s muscle you want, the RX 500h F Sport Performance is for you. This hot-rod hybrid pumps out 366 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. When you hit the gas, you’ll feel that power, but you won’t be crying at the pump with its 27/28/27-mpg efficiency rating. No matter which RX you pick, you’re getting a mix of zip, efficiency, and smooth driving that fits your life just right.
Accelerating With Confidence: 0-to-60 mph Performance
The 2025 Lexus RX doesn’t wait around when you step on the gas. The FWD RX 350 goes from 0 to 60 mph in about 7 seconds flat, while the AWD version shaves that down to 6.8 seconds. That’s plenty of acceleration for hitting the Oklahoma highways.
Try the RX 450h+ plug-in hybrid, and you’ll feel that electric boost kick in, pushing the SUV to 60 mph in just 6.2 seconds — great for a vehicle that sips fuel like it’s expensive champagne. But the real speed demon is the RX 500h F Sport Performance, which rockets to 60 mph in a mere 5.5 seconds — enough to surprise some sports car drivers at that stoplight.
Lexus has tweaked the driving feel for 2025, too, fine-tuning the chassis to minimize vertical movement for a level, stable ride. Engineers have also added dynamic rear steering to the RX 500h F Sport Performance and Black Line Special Edition, making parking a breeze and keeping things steady when you’re flying down the highway. These little touches make a big difference in how confident you’ll feel behind the wheel, all while keeping that buttery-smooth Lexus ride.
Luxury Interior: Comfort Meets Technology
Take a look at the 2025 Lexus RX’s interior, and you’ll notice right away: This isn’t your average SUV cabin. The seats are wide and plush, perfect for long drives without that pins-and-needles feeling. The back seats deserve special mention — they’re sculpted to keep passengers comfortable even on road trips. Top-notch materials wrap everything you touch, with premium semi-aniline leather on higher models.
Need cargo space? The RX has you covered, with 29.6 cubic feet behind the back seats. Fold those down, and you’ve got 46.2 cubic feet — enough for that impulsive furniture buy. Lexus also brightened things up for 2025, adding front console lighting that makes the cabin pop while adding practicality.
Quiet might be the RX’s secret weapon. Lexus went all out for 2025 with noise-fighting tricks, including acoustic glass and extra sound-dampening materials throughout the cabin. The result is a hush that lets you relax like never before. Want some sunshine? The optional panoramic roof floods the cabin with light without all the wind noise.
Infotainment and Connectivity Features
If you’re a tech lover, you won’t be disappointed by what the 2025 Lexus RX brings to the table. Standard equipment includes a 9.8-inch touch screen with sharp graphics and quick responses. If bigger is better in your book, there’s an optional 14-inch screen that dominates the dash. Both run Lexus’ latest software, which is far more user-friendly than older systems — no computer science degree needed.
Thanks to wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto across all models, your phone hooks up without any fuss, while the optional Mark Levinson audio setup turns your commute into a private concert. It’s so good you might find yourself sitting in your driveway just to finish a song.
Other goodies include wireless charging pads, USB ports throughout, and voice controls that actually understand what you’re asking for (quite a feat in today’s cars). A 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster puts all your vital info right where you need it. Need to stay connected on road trips? The RX offers Wi-Fi hot spot capability, plus three months of SiriusXM to find your new favorite station.
Safety and Driver-Assistance Technologies
The 2025 Lexus RX doesn’t skimp on keeping you safe. Every model comes loaded with the Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 package, meaning you get pre-collision warning, pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, lane-keep assist, automatic high beams, and adaptive cruise control as standard. You also get blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alerts for backing out of tight spots, and cameras that give you a bird’s-eye view for parking.
The 2024 model scored an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick rating, and the 2025 version should do just as well, if not better. Between its sturdy build, smart tech that helps avoid crashes, and systems that protect you if the worst happens, the RX gives families and worried drivers solid peace of mind.
