2027 Lexus RX: Gas, Hybrid, Plug-In Hybrid and Performance Hybrid Choices

The 2027 Lexus RX returns with one of the broadest powertrain lineups in the Lexus family, giving luxury SUV shoppers four distinct ways to experience the RX: the turbocharged RX 350, efficient RX 350h Hybrid, electric-capable RX 450h+ Plug-In Hybrid, and high-output RX 500h F SPORT Performance Hybrid.

For 2027, Lexus sharpens the RX’s appearance with newly available red front and rear brake calipers on F SPORT Handling and F SPORT Performance grades, while continuing to offer six grades and a wide range of luxury, technology and performance features.

For shoppers throughout Concord, Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill, Martinez, Contra Costa County and the surrounding East Bay, the 2027 RX offers considerably more choice than a traditional luxury crossover.

You can also explore the current Lexus RX, Lexus RX Hybrid and Lexus RX Plug-In Hybrid at Lexus of Concord.

What’s New for the 2027 Lexus RX?

The 2027 RX is primarily an evolution of the current-generation model rather than a full redesign.

The most visible model-year change is the availability of red front and rear brake calipers on F SPORT Handling and F SPORT Performance grades.

The broader RX formula remains intact, including:

Four available powertrains
Six available grades
Front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive depending on configuration
Available hybrid and plug-in hybrid technology
Available DIRECT4 performance all-wheel drive
Standard 12.3-inch Multi-Information Display
Available 14-inch Lexus Interface touchscreen
Lexus Safety System+ 3.0
Five-passenger seating
Extensive connected technology and driver-assistance features

The 2027 RX is expected to begin arriving at Lexus dealerships in fall 2026.

Four Ways to Drive the 2027 Lexus RX

The biggest strength of the RX lineup is choice.

2027 Lexus RX 350

The RX 350 uses a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine producing:

275 horsepower

317 lb-ft of torque

It is paired with an eight-speed Direct Shift automatic transmission.

Depending on grade, customers can choose between front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive.

For buyers who want a traditional gasoline-powered luxury SUV without moving into hybrid technology, the RX 350 remains the entry point into the RX lineup.

2027 Lexus RX 350h Hybrid

The RX 350h pairs a 2.5-liter Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder gasoline engine with Lexus hybrid technology.

Total system output is:

246 horsepower

233 lb-ft of torque

Unlike a plug-in hybrid, the RX 350h does not need to be connected to a charger.

Its hybrid battery is managed automatically during normal driving.

The RX 350h uses Lexus’ E-Four all-wheel-drive system, which incorporates an electric motor at the rear axle to provide additional traction and near-instantaneous rear drive force when needed.

For shoppers looking for improved efficiency without adding charging to their routine, the RX 350h may provide the most straightforward transition into an electrified RX.

Learn more about the current Lexus RX Hybrid at Lexus of Concord.

2027 Lexus RX 450h+ Plug-In Hybrid

The RX 450h+ adds the ability to charge the vehicle and drive significant distances using electric power.

For 2027, Lexus lists an EPA-estimated 38 miles of electric-only driving range and an EPA-estimated 85 MPGe combined rating.

The RX 450h+ is also estimated to accelerate from 0-60 mph in approximately 6.2 seconds.

For many drivers with a relatively short daily commute and home charging, that 38-mile EV range could allow a substantial portion of everyday driving to be completed without immediately using gasoline.

Once the electric charge is depleted, the RX continues operating as a hybrid.

How Long Does the RX 450h+ Take to Charge?

Every RX 450h+ includes a dual-voltage charging cable compatible with both 120V and 240V outlets.

The vehicle uses a J1772 Type 1 charging connection.

With the standard 6.6-kW onboard charger and a 240V power source under ideal conditions, Lexus says the RX 450h+ can fully charge in approximately:

2.5 hours

That makes overnight charging unnecessary for many owners with access to Level 2 charging—a full recharge may be accomplished in only a few hours.

Drivers interested in Lexus hybrid, plug-in hybrid and electric technology can also visit the Lexus of Concord Electrified Vehicles Center.

2027 Lexus RX 500h F SPORT Performance

At the top of the performance range sits the RX 500h F SPORT Performance AWD.

Rather than focusing primarily on fuel economy, the RX 500h uses hybrid technology to increase performance.

Its turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine works with electric motors and a high-output hybrid battery to produce:

366 horsepower

406 lb-ft of torque

Power is managed through Lexus’ DIRECT4 all-wheel-drive system, which can rapidly adjust drive force between the front and rear axles.

The RX 500h also receives equipment designed to give it a more athletic character, including F SPORT Performance styling, performance-oriented suspension tuning and available Dynamic Rear Steering.

2027 Lexus RX Powertrain Comparison

Model	Powertrain	Output	Drivetrain	Key Advantage
RX 350	2.4L Turbo Gas	275 hp	FWD or AWD	Traditional turbo performance
RX 350h	2.5L Hybrid	246 hp	AWD	Hybrid efficiency without plugging in
RX 450h+	2.5L Plug-In Hybrid	—	AWD	38-mile EPA EV range
RX 500h	2.4L Turbo Performance Hybrid	366 hp	DIRECT4 AWD	Maximum RX performance

That means RX shoppers don’t have to choose between only gas and hybrid.

They can choose the type of electrification—or lack of electrification—that best fits their lifestyle.

Six RX Grades for 2027

Across the overall lineup, Lexus offers six RX grades:

Premium
Premium+
Luxury
F SPORT Design
F SPORT Handling
F SPORT Performance

Not every powertrain is available in every grade.

For example, the RX 500h is exclusively an F SPORT Performance AWD model, while the RX 450h+ is available in Premium AWD and Luxury AWD configurations.

This gives shoppers the ability to prioritize price, equipment, styling, performance or electrification.

F SPORT Gets a Little More Aggressive for 2027

The most noticeable styling update for 2027 is available on the performance-oriented RX models.

Lexus now offers red front and rear brake calipers on F SPORT Handling and F SPORT Performance grades.

F SPORT models already receive unique exterior and interior details that distinguish them from the rest of the RX lineup.

The RX 500h F SPORT Performance also features:

Exclusive front and rear bumpers
Piano-black grille and exterior accents
Exclusive 21-inch wheels
Michelin® Pilot Sport® tires
Performance-oriented suspension tuning
Available Dynamic Rear Steering
Standard panorama glass moonroof
Standard 14-inch touchscreen

Dynamic Rear Steering on the RX 500h

Available Dynamic Rear Steering can help the RX 500h feel more maneuverable at lower speeds and more stable during faster cornering.

At low speeds, the rear wheels can turn slightly in the opposite direction of the front wheels to improve maneuverability.

At higher speeds, the rear wheels can turn in the same direction as the front wheels to enhance stability.

The system can provide up to approximately four degrees of rear-wheel steering angle.

A Comfortable Five-Passenger Luxury SUV

The current-generation RX was designed around passenger comfort and usable interior space.

All models use the GA-K platform, which provides a low center of gravity while helping maximize rear-seat legroom and cargo space.

The RX remains a five-passenger SUV, making it a good fit for drivers who want more passenger and cargo room than a compact crossover without moving into a larger three-row SUV.

Flexible Rear Seating and Cargo Space

An available 40/20/40 power split-folding rear seat helps owners adapt the cabin to passengers and cargo.

Rear passengers can also access USB Type-C charging ports.

Depending on configuration, rear seating can be equipped with heating and ventilation functions.

For shoppers using the RX for commuting, family transportation, road trips or daily errands, that flexibility is one of the reasons the RX remains such an important part of the Lexus SUV lineup.

Standard 12.3-Inch Driver Display

Every 2027 Lexus RX includes a 12.3-inch Multi-Information Display in front of the driver.

The system places key vehicle information within the driver’s field of vision and works alongside the Lexus Interface multimedia system.

9.8-Inch or Available 14-Inch Lexus Interface

Depending on configuration, the RX includes a 9.8-inch touchscreen or available 14-inch high-definition Lexus Interface touchscreen.

The larger display is standard on certain higher-performance configurations, including the RX 500h F SPORT Performance.

Lexus Interface supports features including:

Wireless Apple CarPlay®
Wireless Android Auto™
Cloud Navigation
Intelligent Assistant
Digital Key availability
Remote Connect
Service Connect
Safety Connect

An available 21-speaker Mark Levinson® Premium Surround Sound system can further upgrade the cabin experience.

Advanced Park and Remote Park

Available Advanced Park can assist with certain parallel and perpendicular parking maneuvers.

The system uses cameras and ultrasonic sensors to help control steering, braking, acceleration and shifting during supported parking operations.

Available Remote Park can extend some of this functionality to a compatible smartphone through the Lexus app.

Digital Latch With Safe Exit Assist

The RX also includes Digital Latch with Safe Exit Assist.

When someone attempts to open a door, the system can detect certain vehicles or bicycles approaching from behind and help prevent the door from opening when a potential conflict is detected.

For urban and suburban driving, where cyclists may pass alongside parked vehicles, this is a particularly useful safety feature.

Lexus Safety System+ 3.0

Every 2027 RX includes Lexus Safety System+ 3.0.

The suite includes technologies such as:

Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection
Full-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
Lane Tracing Assist
Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist
Road Sign Assist
Automatic High Beams
Proactive Driving Assist

The Pre-Collision System can also provide additional functionality such as emergency steering support and certain intersection-related detection capabilities under specific conditions.

As always, driver-assistance systems are supplemental technologies and do not replace attentive driving.

2027 Lexus RX Exterior Colors

Depending on grade, available exterior colors include:

Cloudburst Gray
Iridium
Caviar
Matador Red Mica
Nori Green Pearl
Nightfall Mica
Ultra White
Incognito

Incognito is offered on applicable F SPORT models.

2027 Lexus RX Interior Colors

Depending on grade, Lexus offers six interior colors:

Macadamia
Black
Birch
Palomino
Peppercorn
Rioja Red

Available ornamentation styles include:

Black Cascade
Ash Bamboo
Black Open-Pore Wood
Dark Graphite Aluminum

F SPORT Handling and F SPORT Performance models can add sportier interior details, including aluminum-trimmed pedals and F SPORT-specific design elements.

64-Color Ambient Illumination

The RX interior also offers an available ambient illumination system with a palette of 64 colors and 14 themes.

Drivers can select lighting intended to complement different moods and cabin environments.

It’s a small detail, but one that helps reinforce the RX’s emphasis on personalized luxury.

Which 2027 Lexus RX Is Right for You?

With four different powertrains, the choice largely depends on how you drive.

Consider the RX 350 If You Want:

Traditional gasoline power
275 horsepower
Front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive
Lower entry pricing
No hybrid or charging considerations

Consider the RX 350h If You Want:

Hybrid efficiency
No need to plug in
Standard all-wheel drive
246 total system horsepower
Smooth electrified everyday driving

Consider the RX 450h+ If You Want:

Plug-in capability
EPA-estimated 38 miles of electric range
85 MPGe combined
Standard all-wheel drive
Approximately 2.5-hour Level 2 charging under ideal conditions
Gasoline-engine flexibility for longer trips

Consider the RX 500h If You Want:

Maximum RX performance
366 horsepower
406 lb-ft of torque
DIRECT4 all-wheel drive
F SPORT Performance styling
Performance-oriented suspension and chassis technology

The beauty of the RX lineup is that none of these choices requires moving into a completely different vehicle.

The overall size, luxury focus and five-passenger practicality remain familiar while the powertrain changes significantly.

RX 350h vs. RX 450h+: What’s the Difference?

This may be one of the most common questions shoppers ask.

The RX 350h is a conventional hybrid. You never need to plug it in. Simply fuel it and drive it normally while the hybrid system automatically manages the electric motor and battery.

The RX 450h+ is a plug-in hybrid. Its larger rechargeable battery allows it to travel up to an EPA-estimated 38 miles using electric power.

For someone who has reliable home charging and drives relatively short distances most days, the RX 450h+ may allow a substantial amount of daily driving on electricity.

For someone who wants hybrid efficiency without ever thinking about charging, the RX 350h may be the simpler solution.

RX 350h vs. RX 500h: Two Very Different Hybrids

The RX 350h and RX 500h both use hybrid technology, but their goals are different.

The RX 350h prioritizes efficiency and smooth everyday driving.

The RX 500h F SPORT Performance prioritizes power and response.

With 366 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque, the RX 500h is the performance-oriented hybrid in the lineup.

This is why Lexus categorizes models such as the RX 500h separately as Performance Hybrids.

Should You Wait for a 2027 Lexus RX?

Because the 2027 RX is an evolution of the current model rather than a complete redesign, current RX shoppers may not necessarily need to wait.

The current lineup already offers RX gasoline, hybrid, plug-in hybrid and performance-hybrid options.

If you find the powertrain, color, equipment and price combination that fits your needs today, you can explore the current RX lineup at Lexus of Concord.

You can also view the current RX Hybrid and RX Plug-In Hybrid.
