2017 Lexus RX 450h

Vehicle Overview

What it is: The Lexus RX crossover received much more aggressive styling, additional rear-seat room and more safety features last year. Regular RX 350, hybrid RX 450h and performance-oriented RX 350 F Sport models are available. Competitors include the Cadillac XT5, Acura MDX and Lincoln MKX.
New for 2017
The Lexus Safety System Plus is now standard. It includes forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning and automatic high-beam headlights. A front-wheel-drive version of the F Sport model is now available and the blind spot warning system with rear cross-traffic alert adds a braking function.
