Available grades on the 2024 Lexus RX
The 2024 RX is available in six grades, they include Standard, Premium, Premium+, Luxury, F SPORT Handling, and F SPORT Performance.
Powertrain (Engine, transmission, power, and torque)
RX 350 (FWD/AWD)
Standard on the 2024 Lexus RX 350 is the turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine which generates 275 hp and maximum torque output of 317 lb-ft, thanks to several advanced technologies like a center injection system (for more stable combustion), lightweight, spherical lipless pistons (for high-speed combustion), and a continuously variable capacity oil pump (to modify discharge volume based on running conditions).
The engine is mated to a short-ratio eight-speed Direct Shift 8-speed automatic transmission which offers smooth acceleration and deceleration. Power from the transmission system is sent to the wheels by the electronically controlled full-time AWD which constantly varies the front-to-rear driving force distribution from 75:25 to 50:50 (depending on the situation) to achieve an optimal contact patch and linear steering feel.
RX 350h (AWD)
The hybrid variant of the 2024 Lexus RX 350 combines power generated by the hybrid motor and the 2.5-liter four-cylinder Atkinson-cycle gasoline engine to produce 246 horsepower and combined torque output of 233 lb-ft. Lexus strategically placed the 216-cell battery below the rear seats for improved comfort in the cabin.
RX HEV can be equipped with E-Four, Lexus’ innovative all-wheel drive system which places a motor at the rear axle for near-instantaneous drive force application in low-grip or acceleration scenarios.
RX 450h+
The powerful 2024 Lexus RX 350h combines power from a 2.5-liter inline 4-cylinder engine and a powerful hybrid system. The grade has an 83 MPGe rating, it attains 60 mph from 0 in 6.2 seconds with an EPA-estimated 35-mile driving range rating on electric power only.
All 2024 RX 450h+ are equipped with Level 1 vehicle-charging cables for 120V outlets, and all models are equipped with J1772 (Type 1) sockets for at-home and public charging. A high-output, high-efficiency system designed to reduce power loss when converting from AC power to DC power results in faster charging times. Using the maximum charging current of 240V and under ideal conditions, the Lexus RX 450h+ can be fully charged in approximately two-and-a-half hours with the standard 6.6 kW Onboard Charger.
For improved driving experience, the model features an electronically controlled, full-time AWD system for a confident, sporty driving experience, led by Lexus Driving Signature vehicle fundamentals.
RX 500h F SPORT Performance AWD
Customers who desire top-of-the-line can opt for the 2024 Lexus RX 500h F SPORT Performance AWD. The model is powered by the high-performance hybrid 271-hp 2.4-liter turbocharged inline-four engine that is mated to a six-speed automatic gearbox and integrated Power Control Unit and electric motor. Instantaneous power is delivered to the rear wheels by an 80-kW eAxle which consists of an inverter and motor.
The internal combustion and the hybrid system produce a combined power output of 366 horsepower and combined torque output of 406 lb-ft. Lexus adopted a DIRECT4 all-wheel drive system to orchestrate a seamless, direct application of drive force between the front and rear axles in milliseconds, thus improving handling, controllability, and feel. Body movement is also minimized for more pleasant ride comfort.
Suspension
MacPherson front struts provide sharp turn-in and confident, linear handling. Suspension arms and bushings absorb the passing road’s high-frequency vibrations and shocks. The rear’s five-arm multi-link setup is compact, yielding additional cabin space for passengers, cargo, and, for hybrid powertrains, battery pack placement.
Braking
Two-piston calipers biting on 13.39-inch front and rear rotors help to curb speed smoothly. For F SPORT Handling and F SPORT Performance, composed braking arrives via opposed six-piston aluminum calipers and 15.74-inch front rotors. The opposed calipers are 2.4 pounds lighter than those used on the LS and LC.
Exterior design
At the front is the seamless grille which provides a strong, clean presence, and marks the origination of the spindle body that expresses athleticism and finesse in a sophisticated, dynamic shape. Lexus added a single-lens taillamp that wraps around the body, further emphasizing the RX’s wide and low silhouette.
The 2024 RX’s front fascia is also designed to efficiently direct airflow around the spindle body while cooling its brakes. Other aerodynamic elements include flush window and door molding, a rear spoiler, and dimpled underbody covers.
Standard exterior features on the F SPORT Performance grades include exclusive front and rear bumpers, a piano black grille and accents, and additional black accents and body-colored sills. 21-inch wheels which wear Michelin Pilot Sport tires made from a bespoke compound and tread pattern are also exclusive to the model.
Exterior color options
For the 2024 model year, 10 exterior color options are available, they include Ultra White, Eminent White Pearl, Cloudburst Gray, Iridium, Caviar, Matador Red Mica, Copper Crest, Nori Green Pearl, Nightfall Mica, and Grecian Water.
Interior design
The driver-oriented cabin, inspired by the Lexus Driving Signature integrates all the essential controls and information within the driver’s reach. A front cubby located ahead of the gearshift features a front-rear sliding lid and houses an available Qi-compatible wireless mobile device charger and USB connection. The central console box can be opened from either the driver or passenger side.
For the 2024 model year, the front seats have been designed for accessibility, superior ergonomic comfort, and excellent holding capability, even during the longest of commutes or road trips. Passengers in the available 40/20/40 power split-folding rear seat can charge their mobile devices on two USB Type-C outlets (six USB ports are found throughout the vehicle) or an available single AC power socket. The rear seats are available with power folding capabilities and available cooling and heating functions.
The interior also features an illumination system that increases the comfort and luxury in the cabin from a palette of 64 colors and 14 themes which can be best selected to match the driver’s mood and energy.
Customers who desire more luxury and performance should opt for the F SPORT Handling and F SPORT Performance grades. These premium grades feature an exclusive steering wheel and meter residing in front of the driver, while the pedals are trimmed with aluminum.
Interior color options
Six interior color options with four ornamentations are available on the 2024 RX. Interior colors include Macadamia, Black, Birch, Palomino, Peppercorn, and Rioja Red. Ornamentation styles include Black Cascade, Ash Bamboo, Black Open Pore, and Dark Graphite Aluminum.
Technology and convenience
For the 2024 model year, a standard 9.8-inch display or an available 14-inch high-definition touchscreen provides easy-to-use controls and clear information to the driver and front seat passenger. Their glass screens utilize a high-adhesion, anti-reflective coating to realize a vivid display. Menu operations are similar to those found on smartphones and tablets. For additional ease of use by driver and passenger, a center knob located at the screen’s bottom edge controls power on/off and volume.
Other available technology and convenience packages include Cloud Navigation, Intelligent Assistant, Available Digital Key, Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ Compatibility, Remote Connect, Safety Connect, Service Connect, Head-up display, Mark Levinson Surround Sound, Advanced Park with Remote Park, Digital Latch with Safe Exit Assist and Traffic Jam Assist.
Safety and driver assistance systems in the 2024 Lexus RX
Standard across all grades is the Lexus Safety System+ 3.0, which provides additional features and an available driver monitor system.
- Pre-Collision System (PCS) with Pedestrian Detection
Pre-Collision System (PCS) with Pedestrian Detection is designed to help detect a vehicle, pedestrian, bicyclist, or motorcyclist and provide an audio/visual forward collision warning under certain circumstances. If the driver does not react, the system is designed to provide automatic emergency braking at speeds between approximately 7-110 mph. PCS uses a camera and millimeter-wave radar for enhanced performance and reliability.
- Proactive Driving Assist (PDA)
When system operating conditions are met, using the vehicle’s camera and radar, Proactive Driving Assist (PDA) provides gentle braking into curves or gentle braking and/or steering to help control the distance between your vehicle and a preceding vehicle, pedestrian, or bicyclist.
*Available by trial or subscription. 4G network dependent. See lexus.com/interface for details.
- Road Sign Assist
Using an intelligent camera, Road Sign Assist (RSA) is designed to detect speed limit signs, stop signs, Do Not Enter signs, yield signs, and certain warning signs, and display an icon of the sign on the Multi-Information Display (MID).
- Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist (LDA w/SA)
When white/yellow lane markings or certain road edge boundary lines are detected at speeds above 30 mph, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist (LDA w/SA) is designed to issue an audio/visual lane departure warning if an inadvertent lane departure is detected. If the driver does not take corrective action, the system is also designed to provide gentle corrective steering for lane-keeping assistance.
- Lane Tracing Assist (LTA)
When Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) is enabled and lane markers are detected, Lane Tracing Assist (LTA) uses the lines on the road and/or preceding vehicles to provide active driving assistance and help keep the vehicle centered in its lane.
- Intelligent High Beam – provides greater visibility for drivers with added illumination when the road ahead is clear, then temporarily switches to low beams when it detects the headlamps or taillamps of vehicles ahead.
- All-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with Curve Speed Management (DRCC)
An adaptive cruise control system intended for highway use that uses radar and camera technology to help keep the vehicle at a preset speed and distance from vehicles ahead, even in stop-and-go traffic. If the system detects the vehicle getting closer than the preset distance, it automatically slows the vehicle — even to a complete stop. At highway speeds, when the road ahead clears, the vehicle returns to its preset speed. For LSS+ 3.0, the Curve Speed Management feature is added, which will aid to manage speed in curves when cruise control is engaged and may lower vehicle speed if needed.
