Lexus RX Submodels
The Lexus RX debuted in 1998 as the RX 300, effectively creating the luxury crossover segment. By blending the comfort and handling of a sedan with the utility of an SUV, Lexus found a massive audience. It was based on the Toyota Camry platform, which ensured a smooth ride and excellent reliability, traits that have defined the model across all its generations.
Buying Tips
- The automatic transmission on 1999-2003 RX 300 models can be a weak point; check for smooth shifts and look at service history for fluid changes.
- On V6 models, inspect for oil leaks from valve cover gaskets and oil cooler lines. Oil sludge can be an issue if maintenance was neglected.
- For hybrid models like the RX 400h, verify the health of the high-voltage battery. Diagnostic checks or service records are essential.
- Look for cracked or sticky dashboard materials on second-generation (2004-2009) models, a common issue in warmer climates.
