Lexus divides the 2025 Lexus RX family into four main models. You’ve got the RX 350 with its conventional gas engine, the RX 350h hybrid for better fuel savings, the RX 450h+ plug-in hybrid for maximum efficiency, and the sporty RX 500h performance hybrid.

The lineup structure isn’t too complicated once you break it down. Both the regular RX 350 and its hybrid sibling (the 350h) come in five flavors: base, Premium, Premium+, F Sport Design, and Luxury. The gas-powered RX 350 also offers an F Sport Handling version if you want tighter cornering and responsiveness. The plug-in hybrid RX 450h+ only comes in the Luxury trim, and the RX 500h exclusively comes in the F Sport Performance trim.

The base RX 350 starts at $50,475. The most expensive model is the RX 450h+, and it begins at $72,610. If you’re a collector or looking for an extra special ride, you’ll want to check out the RX 500 Black Line Special Edition. Lexus is making only 500 units of this model for the North American market.

Feature Comparison Across Trims

Great safety tech comes standard, no matter which 2025 RX you choose. Every single version packs automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning with lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control with lane centering.

The 2025 Lexus RX 350 F Sport Design trims have a striking, sporty look. The black front and rear fascias, that mean-looking grille, and the striking 21-inch wheels will turn some heads. The F Sport Handling trims add substance to style with an adaptive variable suspension for a sharper steering response.

When it comes to tech, the base models give you a beautiful 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and a 9.8-inch center touch screen. Higher trims have a 14-inch center display that makes everything from maps to menus easier to see and use. No matter which trim you choose, your phone pairs wirelessly thanks to standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Details of the RX 350 Trims

Since the RX family has so many different options to choose from, we’ll go into more detail on four of the popular RX 350 trims: base, Premium, Premium+, and Luxury. After reading through this, you’ll have a good idea of what all the models include. Keep in mind that the F Sport trims have almost all of the top luxuries and an emphasis on sporty design elements and performance.

The Base RX 350

The standard RX 350 brings plenty of luxury and performance for the price. Under its hood sits a punchy 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine cranking out 275 horsepower and a stout 317 lb-ft of torque. It’s hooked to an eight-speed automatic transmission, and you can pick front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.

You also get pretty good gas mileage. With front-wheel drive, expect about 22 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway. Adding all-wheel drive drops those numbers slightly to 21 mpg city and 28 mpg highway. The RX 350 scoots from 0 to 60 mph in 7.6 seconds — quick enough for most daily driving situations.

The RX 350 Premium

If you choose the Premium trim, you’ll get a power moonroof that opens with just a button press. On top of that, the heated and ventilated front seats will keep you comfy no matter what weather Oklahoma throws at you. The Premium trim features open-pore wood interior trim as well.

The RX 350 Premium+

The Premium+ gets upgraded 21-inch Dark Gray Metallic wheels. Sink into the driver’s seat, and you’ll immediately notice the genuine leather upholstery. Tech gets a boost here too. The 14-inch infotainment screen comes standard starting with this trim.

The RX 350 Luxury

The Luxury trim truly delivers on its name. The first thing you’ll notice is the stunning panoramic glass roof. It makes the cabin feel big and airy. Tech takes another leap forward with the clever head-up display. The system projects your speed, navigation directions, and safety alerts directly onto the windshield in your line of sight. No more glancing down at gauges while driving — your eyes stay on the road where they belong.

These fancy additions combine with countless smaller luxuries to create something that feels special every time you climb in. If you spend a lot of time in your vehicle and want that time to feel as pleasant as possible, the Luxury trim is for you.

Which 2025 Lexus RX Trim Is Best for You?

If your budget is a priority, you can’t go wrong with the entry-level models. You’ll get everything you expect from a Lexus, even with the base RX 350. However, if fuel efficiency is on your mind, you’ll want to choose a hybrid or plug-in hybrid model. The Premium+ and Luxury trims are stand-outs if you want to ride in comfort. If you love driving and crave sporty performance, one of the F Sport trims is for you. You can rest assured, though, that no matter your choice, you’ll get a great SUV that lives up to the Lexus name.
