2019 Lexus RX - Variants explained

2019 Lexus RX - Variants explained

The latest Lexus RX is one of the few vehicles that have been launched in the Philippines this month. It is the fourth-generation of the car that has received a handful of changes to woo in the Filipinos. Perhaps, one of the biggest additions has to be the new hybrid variant - 450 H. So, how many variants are there in total now? Four - 350, 350 L, 350 F Sport, and the latest 450 H. Let’s talk something about all of them, shall we?

2019 Lexus RX engine and performance

Since we’ve got a new hybrid engine available, we would like to start with the engine and performance of the Lexus RX.

  350 350 L 350 F Sport 450 H
Engine 3.5 L V6 Four Cam 24-Valve 3.5 L V6 Four Cam 24-Valve 3.5 L V6 Four Cam 24-Valve 3.5 L V6 Four Cam 24-Valve
Horsepower 296 hp 296 hp 296 hp 308 hp
Torque 370 Nm 370 Nm 370 Nm 335 Nm
Transmission Multi-Mode AT Multi-Mode AT Multi-Mode AT CVT


Except for the hybrid variant, all the three models have the same power output of 296 hp. It is the 450 H that is slightly more powerful than the others with a power output of 308 hp. However, this is its total power output, i.e., the combination of the power of the electric motor and internal combustion engine.

Which is the fastest RX variant among all?

Ans: Well, surprisingly, Lexus has mentioned the same 0-100 km/h time of 7.7 seconds for all the variants. Even the top speed remains the same at 200 kmph. However, when it comes to the fuel economy, the hybrid variant is the most fuel-efficient as it has a claimed fuel consumption of 5.71/100 km.

2019 Lexus RX Dimensions

Since Lexus has now added its longer 350 L variant in its product catalogue for the Philippines, there’s a slight variation in the basic dimensions of this model.

Measurements 350 350 L 350 F Sport 450 H
Length 4890 mm 5000 mm 4890 mm 4890 mm
Width 1895 mm 1895 mm 1895 mm 1895 mm
Height 1685 mm 1700 mm 1685 mm 1685 mm
Wheelbase 2790 mm 2790 mm 2790 mm  2790 mm


Clearly, the RX 350 L is 110 mm longer than the other variants. This has been done to accommodate third-row seating and to make sure that the occupants of this row have sufficient space. Even the height of the 350 L is a tad bit longer than the rest of the variants.

For example, 350 L gets roof rails, 350 F Sports gets aluminium wheels, exclusive front and rear bumpers, exclusive front grille.

Safety features

Lexus is among those brands that take safety very seriously. Just by looking at the RX you can have an idea about how safe it would be. All the basic safety features like ABS with EBD, hill start assist, brake assist system, etc. are present in the Lexus RX specs sheet. There are some advanced features too like parking support alert, traction control system, vehicle stability control, vehicle dynamics integrated management (350 F Sport, 450 H), etc.

2019 Lexus RX side

Are you wondering how many SRS airbags does the Lexus RX come with? It has the following-

  • Dual-Stage SRS Airbags (Front Seats)
  • SRS Knee Airbags (Driver's Seat)
  • SRS Cushion Airbags (Front Passenger's Seat)
  • SRS Side Airbags (Front and Outboard Second Row Seats)
  • SRS Curtain Shield Airbags (Front and Rear Door Windows)

So by now, you must have a fairly decent idea about the different variants of the Lexus RX. if you are wondering which variant is the most expensive one? Then we would like to tell you that the Lexus RX price is highest for 450 H trim (Php 5.08 million) and the most affordable variant would be the 350 that comes at Php 4.28 million.
