Shopping for a luxury midsize SUV in Temecula, Murrieta, or Menifee? The 2026 Lexus RX continues to define the segment it helped invent — pairing refined craftsmanship with four distinct powertrains so you can match the right RX to the way you actually drive. Browse our current new Lexus RX inventory at Temecula Valley Lexus or call 951-297-3896 to schedule a test drive.
The 2026 Lexus RX lineup starts at an MSRP of $51,175 for the RX 350 Standard with front-wheel drive. All-wheel drive is available on the gas RX 350 for an additional $1,600 and comes standard on every hybrid and plug-in hybrid variant.
The RX is built around four powertrain models, each with its own trim grades:
| Model | Powertrain | Horsepower | Drivetrain |
|---|---|---|---|
| RX 350 | 2.4L Turbo I4 + 8-speed automatic | 275 hp / 317 lb-ft | FWD or AWD |
| RX 350h | 2.5L I4 Hybrid + eCVT | 246 hp combined | AWD standard |
| RX 450h+ | 2.5L I4 Plug-In Hybrid + eCVT | 304 hp combined | AWD standard |
| RX 500h F SPORT Performance | 2.4L Turbo I4 Hybrid + 6-speed automatic | 366 hp / 406 lb-ft | DIRECT4 AWD standard |
Trim grades across the gas and hybrid models include Standard, Premium, Premium+, Luxury, F SPORT Handling, and F SPORT Design (availability varies by powertrain), each adding incremental upgrades in interior materials, technology, and comfort. The RX 500h F SPORT Performance is its own performance-focused model with exclusive content.

The RX 350 anchors the lineup with a turbocharged 2.4-liter inline-four producing 275 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque, paired with a smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic. It returns an EPA-estimated 22 city / 29 highway / 25 combined MPG with front-wheel drive (slightly lower with AWD).
When properly equipped, the 2026 RX 350 can tow up to 3,500 pounds — enough for a small boat, jet skis, or a lightweight utility trailer for weekend trips out of Murrieta or Lake Elsinore. The 3,500-pound rating applies to both FWD and AWD configurations.
For Corona and Menifee drivers prioritizing fuel efficiency, the RX offers two electrified options:
A 2.5-liter four-cylinder paired with electric motors produces 246 combined horsepower and delivers an EPA-estimated 37 city / 34 highway / 36 combined MPG with standard all-wheel drive. It’s the most efficient way to put an RX in your driveway without plugging in.
Adds a larger 18.1 kWh battery for an EPA-estimated 38 miles of all-electric driving range and an EPA-estimated 85 MPGe combined when running in EV/hybrid mode. Most daily commutes around Temecula can be handled on electricity alone, with the gas engine available for longer trips. The 450h+ produces 304 combined horsepower with standard AWD.
Both hybrid models use premium unleaded gasoline (91 octane minimum) to maintain rated efficiency and performance.
The RX 500h F SPORT Performance sits at the top of the lineup as the most powerful RX Lexus has ever built. A turbocharged 2.4-liter hybrid powertrain delivers 366 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque through a six-speed automatic transmission and the DIRECT4 all-wheel-drive system, with Dynamic Rear Steering for sharper cornering. It returns an EPA-estimated 27 MPG combined and accelerates from 0–60 mph in roughly 5.9 seconds.
Available on the F SPORT Handling and F SPORT Performance models, the Appearance Package adds black 21-inch wheels, orange brake calipers, black exterior trim, and gray contrast stitching on a black interior. Higher trims across the lineup also offer Open Pore wood interior trim, semi-aniline leather upholstery, a panorama glass roof, heated and ventilated front seats, and the latest Lexus Interface multimedia system. Wireless phone charging is now standard across every 2026 RX.
The 2026 Lexus RX has a configuration for every kind of driver — whether you’re a Vista commuter chasing efficiency, a Fallbrook family looking for luxury, or a Murrieta enthusiast who wants the performance edge of the 500h F SPORT Performance.
