The Lexus RX is the serene sanctuary for those who crave luxury without shouting about it.
Serene, plush ride · Efficient hybrid options
Infotainment learning curve · Modest cargo space
The 2026 Lexus RX is all about delivering a tranquil, luxurious ride. Slide into its plush interior, and you're greeted by an atmosphere that cocoons you from the chaos outside. It's a car that whispers luxury rather than shouts it, with a ride so smooth it feels like you're gliding on silk. What surprised us was the efficiency of the hybrid options, which offer impressive fuel economy without sacrificing performance. However, the infotainment system requires a bit of patience to master, and the cargo space leaves something to be desired. If you're someone who values comfort and a quiet ride over sporty dynamics, this is your SUV.
Our pick: RX 350h AWD Premium ($55,350)
vs. 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLE: The GLE offers more space and a sportier experience, but the RX wins in terms of ride comfort and hybrid efficiency.
