With their bold style, premium accommodations, versatile cargo space, and wealth of features, Lexus SUVs deliver an intriguing blend of luxury and practicality. And since different drivers have various requirements and preferences when searching for a new luxury crossover, Lexus proudly offers a compelling option in each of the industry's most competitive segments. But which one is best suited to your needs? Here's a quick look at the available models and their distinguishing characteristics.
- Lexus UX: The smallest model in the Lexus SUV lineup, the UX is a subcompact crossover available in two 2.0L powertrain-based variants: the 169-horsepower UX 200 and the 181-horsepower hybrid UX 250h. Comfortable and well-equipped, the UX lives up to its "Urban Crossover" designation and is a great choice for Rockville drivers seeking extra utility with city-friendly dimensions.
- Lexus NX: Lexus' compact luxury crossover, the NX (Nimble Crossover), also offers two powertrains: the 235-hp 2.0L turbo-four NX 300 and the 194-hp 2.5L hybrid NX 300h. Despite its designation, the NX is quite accommodating and offers up to 54.6 cubic feet of max cargo space while maintaining a maneuverable footprint.
- Lexus RX: The RX (Radiant/Recreational Crossover) is Lexus' best-selling SUV nameplate. And when you experience the plush accommodations, comfortable ride-quality, and premium amenities for yourself, it's not hard to see why. Its variants include the V6-powered RX 350 (295 hp, 267 lb-ft) and the V6 hybrid RX 450h (308 hp, 247 lb-ft). Standard configurations offer roomy seating for five, while large families can add one or two extra seatbelts with the three-row 350L and 450hL.
- Lexus GX: The 7-seat Lexus GX is currently available in the lone GX 460 variant, powered by a robust 301-hp 4.6-liter V8 that can tow up to 6,500 pounds. With its deluxe interior, composed driving dynamics, and abundance of amenities, it certainly earns its "Grand Crossover" designation, even though it’s a genuine body-on-frame SUV. And while the GX midsize SUV excels as a luxury model, it also stands out for its genuine off-road capability, with standard features like four-wheel drive and Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System. The available off-road package adds crawl control, selectable terrain modes, and fuel tank protection.
- Lexus LX: Despite its "Luxury Crossover" designation, the Lexus LX 570 is full-size steel ladder-frame luxury SUV with immense capability on the trail and tons of versatility on the asphalt. It's also somewhat of an anomaly in its class, as it's available in both two- and three-row configurations with up to 81.3 cubic feet of max cargo space. Under the hood, the LX's motivation comes from a burly 383-hp V8 powerplant paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and standard 4WD. It's ideal for discerning Potomac families looking to maximize refinement, passenger space, and utility.
