our expert's take

What Is the 2019 Lexus RX?

The Lexus RX mid-size luxury SUV is available in gas RX 350 or hybrid RX 450h form. There’s also a performance-oriented F Sport model and extended three-row L versions. All use a 3.5-liter V-6 engine, and the RX 450h adds electric motors. The RX 350 is available with front- or all-wheel drive, and the RX 450h is all-wheel-drive only with an electric motor driving the rear wheels. Competitors include the Cadillac XT5 , Acura MDX and Infiniti QX60.

What’s New on the 2019 Lexus RX?

The RX’s remote function adds smart watch and Amazon Alexa device compatibility.

What Features in the 2019 Lexus RX Are Most Important?

The standard Lexus Safety System Plus includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assist and adaptive cruise control. The RX 450h’s fuel-saving hybrid drivetrain achieves 30 mpg combined in EPA testing.

Should I Buy the 2019 Lexus RX?

Often credited with creating the luxury crossover SUV class, the Lexus RX continues to please buyers looking for refinement. However, our editors find it less engaging to drive than some competitors and are continually frustrated with its optional Remote Touch multimedia interface.  The cramped third-row seat in extended L versions is of dubious usefulness, too.

Horrible experience Lex RX350 Columbia SC

Beware of the 2019 Red Lexus 2019 at Jim Hudson Lexus in Columbia SC. Vin #2T2BZMCA1KC181432 It had so many problems and the navigation system kept going in and out. I traded it as soon as I could. I had their certified warranty and even purchased an extended warranty. They would not replace the navigation system even though I was in there numerous times to try to get it fixed. They had excuse that I had to purchase a nav system if I wanted it replaced. This dealership is not worth. They are now selling car with an unlimited warranty..What a joke. They wouldnt even replace my navigation system even with a purchase extended warranty. Beware of the service department if you are a woman. They treat women like they are stupid. Horrible horrible experience and future female of this dealership be warned as well as future buyers of the vehicle/vin listed above. What a lemon

A great car for the money

This is my second RX and I’m so happy with the first, I need to get one again. The size is right for a woman, not to high nor low. Perfect for young and the old. I would have opted for the 2021 model if I’m not retired. The salesperson gave us a great deal we can’t refuse. This car will definitely take me to many places in style, comfort and value.
