On the outside, the package is available with five exterior colors, including Ultra White, Cloudburst Gray, Iridium, Incognito, and Caviar.

Platform
All 2026 Lexus vehicles are built on the GA-K platform, which offers a low center of gravity due to its use of stronger metals, innovative adhesives, and precise welding. The model measures 192.5 inches in length, has a wheelbase of 112.2 inches, and a track width of 65 inches in the front and 66 inches in the rear.
Toyota equipped all grades with a multi-link suspension design at the rear, attached to a rigid, high-torsion rear body frame, which delivers consistent suspension during acceleration, deceleration, and steering moments.
All grades also get large legroom for rear passengers, as well as generous cargo space at the rear.
Available powertrains
RX 350 (FWD/AWD)
The entry 2026 RX350 is powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine that produces 275 hp and 317 lb-ft of torque, the same engine as the 2025 Lexus RX. Power generated by the engine is transmitted to the full-time AWD system via an eight-speed Direct Shift-8AT transmission. The full-time AWD 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 2026 Lexus RX 350 is powered by a combination of a hybrid motor coupled with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder Atkinson-cycle gasoline engine producing a combined power output of 246 horsepower and 233 lb-ft of torque. Lexus strategically positioned the 216-cell battery under the rear seats, thus enabling passenger comfort and providing storage capacity.
RX 450h+ (AWD)
The hybrid grade is powered by a combination of a 2.5-liter inline 4-cylinder engine and high-capacity lithium-ion battery, delivering an impressive manufacturer-estimated combined 85 MPGe rating.

Instantaneous power is delivered to the rear wheels by an 80-KW eAXLE consisting of an inverter and motor.
Suspension system
All grades are equipped MacPherson struts at the front to provide sharp turn-in and confident, linear handling. Suspension arms and bushings absorb the passing road’s high-frequency vibrations and shocks.

Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS)
For the 2026 model year, the Adaptive Variable Suspension is available as an option on the F SPORT Handling and F SPORT Performance grades.
