The 2026 Lexus RX lineup expands to 17 distinct grades, offering Canadian luxury SUV shoppers unprecedented choice across four powertrain options. From efficient hybrid-electric systems to high-performance turbocharged configurations, the RX family addresses diverse needs while maintaining all-wheel-drive capability for winter conditions. Two new additions—the RX 350 F SPORT Black Line and RX 450h+ Ultra Premium—round out a lineup designed to serve families, performance enthusiasts, and environmentally conscious drivers across New Brunswick and beyond.
This expansion reflects Lexus Canada's commitment to providing tailored solutions within a single model line. Whether prioritizing fuel efficiency, luxury appointments, or spirited driving dynamics, the 2026 RX delivers options for buyers at various price points and lifestyle requirements.
Four Distinct Powertrains Address Different Priorities
The 2026 RX offers four powertrain configurations, each engineered for specific performance and efficiency goals:
RX 350 – Turbocharged Gasoline Performance
The RX 350 features a 2.4 L turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and electronically controlled all-wheel-drive. This powertrain delivers 275 hp and up to 317 lb-ft of torque, providing confident acceleration for highway merging and passing maneuvers.
RX 350h – Proven Hybrid-Electric Efficiency
Built around a 2.5 L four-cylinder engine integrated with Lexus' hybrid-electric system and electronically controlled continuously variable transmission, the RX 350h generates 246 system hp. Fuel efficiency reaches 6.5 L/100 km combined city/highway, reducing fill-up frequency for daily commutes and weekend trips throughout the Maritimes.
RX 500h – High-Output Hybrid Performance
The RX 500h combines a 2.4 L turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a high-output electric motor, inverter, and reduction gearbox. Paired with a six-speed automatic transmission and Lexus DIRECT4 all-wheel-drive system, this configuration produces 367 system hp and up to 406 lb-ft of torque. Acceleration remains strong across all speed ranges, with fuel consumption rated at 8.6 L/100 km combined.
RX 450h+ – Plug-In Hybrid Electric Range
The RX 450h+ plug-in hybrid system features a 2.5 L inline four-cylinder engine with an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission and full-time all-wheel-drive. Estimated 0–100 km/h acceleration time reaches 6.5 seconds, while fuel efficiency measures 2.8 L equivalent per 100 km combined. The RX 450h+ offers an estimated 60 km of electric-only range before seamlessly transitioning to self-charging hybrid mode, with full charging achievable in approximately two and a half hours.
