The fifth-generation RX offers the RX 350h with a 2.5-litre hybrid producing 250 hp, the RX 450h+ plug-in hybrid with 309 hp and approximately 65 km electric range, and the RX 500h with a 2.4-litre turbo hybrid delivering 371 hp. All variants include E-Four electric AWD as standard.
Used fourth-generation RX models (2015-2022) in Portugal range from approximately 28,000 EUR for a 2016 RX 450h to over 50,000 EUR for a late model with F Sport. The fifth-generation RX (2023+) commands 55,000 EUR to 80,000 EUR on the used market, reflecting its recent introduction.
The RX 350h achieves approximately 6.5 to 7.5 litres per 100 km in mixed driving, competitive for a large luxury SUV. The RX 450h+ plug-in hybrid can deliver under 1.5 l/100 km on the WLTP cycle with regular charging, with its 65 km electric range covering most Portuguese daily driving needs.
On fourth-generation models, verify the hybrid battery health and check the adaptive air suspension for even ride height. The infotainment touchpad can be unresponsive on early models. Fifth-generation models should have their touchscreen functionality and plug-in charging system tested. Lexus reliability means mechanical concerns are minimal.
The RX offers the most reliable ownership experience and lowest long-term costs among these three premium SUVs. The BMW X5 provides sportier driving dynamics, while the Mercedes GLE leads on interior luxury and technology. The RX's hybrid-focused range gives it a clear fuel economy advantage for Portuguese buyers.
The fifth-generation RX (2023 onwards) represents a transformative improvement in design, technology, and driving dynamics over its predecessor. For budget-conscious buyers, the 2019-2022 fourth-generation RX 450h F Sport offers proven Lexus luxury and reliability at substantially lower prices.
