Used Lexus RX: What to Know Before You Buy
A well-regarded mid-size premium hybrid SUV.
Why people choose the Lexus RX
Hybrid SUVs combine the practicality and raised driving position of an SUV with meaningfully better fuel economy than a purely petrol or diesel equivalent, particularly in city and stop-start driving.
What to check on a used RX
Ask about hybrid battery health and warranty status — it's less commonly an issue than with a full EV, but still worth confirming, especially on higher-mileage examples.
This is on top of the usual used-car checks that apply to any vehicle — see our full pre-purchase inspection guide for the complete list.
