Lexus RX prices have increased marginally for 2025 amid a lineup that’s largely unchanged, apart from a new plug-in hybrid option.
The entry grade RX350h Luxury now starts at $90,350 before on-road costs in front-wheel drive guise – up by $290 – while the other five carryover variants are also between $266 and $290 more expensive.
All of these variants continue to be powered by various four-cylinder powertrains with a mix of hybrid and turbocharged assistance.
The new RX450h+ was announced this week, teaming a 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine with two electric motors. It’s due here in April.

The RX nameplate dates back decades, and it’s still one of the Japanese luxury brand’s best sellers in the Australian market.
Lexus sold 2075 examples of the RX in 2024, a decline of 24 per cent on the previous year. It was outsold by rivals including the BMW X5 and Land Rover Defender, although the RX remained a more popular buy than large SUVs from Genesis, Volvo, and Mercedes-Benz.
Lexus revealed the current RX back in 2022, built on the GA-K platform and bringing an entirely redesigned exterior and interior, along with a new selection of powertrains.
