What is the Best Selling Lexus Model?

Those who appreciate luxury cars often wonder what the best-selling Lexus of all time is. The Lexus RX holds that title for the manufacturer and has been the top-selling luxury SUV for the last decade. The model kept its top spot even after a full exterior refresh, demonstrating just how well the RX meets the needs of the car-buying public. At Eskridge Lexus, we’re proud to offer the RX, as well as the rest of the Lexus range of vehicles, for your consideration. Read on to learn more about what makes the RX the best-selling Lexus model.

An Overall Look at the RX

The Lexus RX underwent a complete overhaul for the 2023 model year, and this design continues into 2024 with very few changes. The exterior design retains the classic Lexus RX design signals, such as the long nose that leads into a swept-back body, then closes with a downward slope toward the taillights and rear bumper. The redesign has added more angularity to the overall appearance but retains the hallmark swoops throughout the exterior and shaped body panels.

The front of the RX sports a beefy grille that rests below the slim rectangle-shaped headlights for a pleasing visual balance. Vents to either side of the grille are functional and help keep the brakes and tires cool. The windshield rests on a laid-back angle, leading to a visually shortened roofline. The downward angle in the rear helps to create a hefty backside that helps the wheels dig into the pavement for solid starts.

The Fine Details of the Interior

The RX’s interior seamlessly blends technology with a superior driving experience. Its driver’s side is designed to feel like a cockpit that puts you solidly in control of everything in the vehicle. The steering wheel invites you to take hold and control various functions, while the instrument cluster shows you the status and speed of the RX at all times. The infotainment system sits close to the steering wheel, making it easy to reach over and change the display without disrupting your driving.

Upgrade the listening experience with the Mark Levinson PurePlay surround sound system. It features 21 speakers placed strategically throughout the cabin and puts out a maximum of 1,800 watts of pure listening power. The sound output is designed to give you a three-dimensional listening experience and can make it feel like the sound is coming from one corner or throughout the interior.

The driver gets a leather-trimmed steering wheel and shift knob for a nonslip grip. The rest of the interior upholstery uses NuLuxe synthetic leather upholstery for the feel of real leather. The driver and passenger each have an eight-way power adjustable seat, while the 40/20/40-split rear seats fold forward for more cargo space or recline for comfort.

The hybrid version includes a 2.5-liter four-cylinder Atkinson-cycle engine that delivers 246 horsepower and 233 lb-ft of torque, and it features a 216-cell battery that boosts the range of the RX.

The gasoline-only engine is available in front-wheel drive, and the hybrid is AWD.

Advanced Technology Aids Your Driving Experience in the Lexus RX

The RX features the best in automotive technology currently offered by Lexus. The following are some of these technologies.

Intelligent Assistant

Intelligent Assistant is part of the Drive Connect subscription package. It allows you to use your regular speaking patterns to control in-car functions, such as temperature settings, navigation, and infotainment features, without taking your eyes off the road or hands off the wheel.

Traffic Jam Assist

Traffic Jam Assist acts as a copilot during traffic jams on the highway. It monitors the surrounding traffic and accelerates or brakes in accordance with the vehicle in front of you at a distance of your choosing.

Advanced Park

Advanced Park helps guide you in and out of tight parking spaces by accelerating or braking at the appropriate moment and controlling the wheels. You can take over at any time, but if you don’t enjoy parallel parking, you’ll want to let the RX take over.

Digital Rearview Mirror

The Digital Rearview Mirror gives you a wider field of vision to the rear of the RX when needed. All you have to do is flip the switch from standard to digital.

The Lexus RX has earned its place at the top of the sales lists for good reason. It’s a reasonably priced luxury SUV that delivers on performance inside and out. Add the fact that it runs reliably over its life span, and you get a vehicle you won’t want to give up.
