What Every Lexus SUV Has in Common

Before the model breakdowns, it helps to understand what you're getting no matter which Lexus you choose.

Hybrid technology runs through nearly the entire lineup. The UX, NX, RX, TX, and LX all offer electrified powertrain options. The RZ goes fully electric. For Gwinnett County commuters logging 30-plus minutes each way on I-85 or GA-316, that efficiency translates to real savings, not just a talking point.

Every Lexus SUV is also built around the Takumi craftsmanship tradition, a Japanese standard of master-level precision that shows up in how a door closes, how the stitching lines up, and how the cabin feels 100,000 miles in. Lexus Safety System+® is standard or near-standard across the lineup, covering pre-collision detection, lane departure alerts, and adaptive cruise control. And Lexus's long-term reliability record is among the strongest in the industry. For buyers who plan to keep their vehicle for a decade, that matters more than any single feature.

The Lexus UX Hybrid: Where the Journey Starts

The UX is hybrid-only, which sets it apart from every other model here. That single-powertrain approach keeps the driving experience consistent and the EPA-estimated efficiency figures strong. It's the most fuel-efficient Lexus SUV available, and AWD is on the table for buyers who want all-weather confidence in a compact footprint. The cabin is finished to full Lexus standards. For first-time Lexus buyers in Johns Creek or Lawrenceville who want refinement without the size, the UX is a natural on-ramp.

The Lexus NX: The Compact That Covers All the Bases

No other Lexus SUV gives buyers as many powertrain choices at this size. The NX 350 handles traditional gas driving well. The NX 350h hybrid is the smart pick for daily Gwinnett commuters who want efficiency and AWD in one package. The NX 450h+ plug-in hybrid adds up to a manufacturer-estimated 37 miles of all-electric range, enough to cover most local trips without touching the gas engine. For 2026, F SPORT Handling is now available across all NX hybrid trims, and the standard 14-inch Lexus Interface touchscreen keeps the tech experience squarely in the present.

The Lexus RZ: Fully Electric, Fully Lexus

The RZ is the only model here with no gas engine at all. Two electric motors produce 308 horsepower. The RZ 450e adds dual-motor AWD for extra grip and performance. Range reaches up to a manufacturer-estimated 266 miles, and the interior delivers the same craftsmanship and technology you'd find in any other Lexus. For buyers ready to commit to an EV without leaving the Lexus ownership experience behind, the RZ is the answer. Those still on the fence will find the NX 450h+ plug-in hybrid a practical stepping stone.

The Lexus RX: The One That Started It All

The RX essentially created the luxury SUV segment, and it's still the benchmark. Four powertrain options cover a wide range of buyers. The RX 350 is the solid, well-equipped gas option. The RX 350h hybrid brings standard AWD and strong efficiency to the daily driver. The RX 450h+ plug-in hybrid adds manufacturer-estimated all-electric range for shorter trips. The RX 500h F SPORT Performance delivers 366 net combined horsepower and Lexus's DIRECT4 AWD for buyers who want a performance SUV without giving up luxury. Wireless phone charging is now standard across all seven 2026 trim levels. Resale value, reliability record, and cabin refinement all remain at the top of the segment.

The Lexus TX: Three Rows Built for Real Family Life

The TX sits on a car-based platform, which means it drives with the composure of the RX rather than the deliberate weight of a truck-based SUV. That distinction matters every day. Three rows seat six or seven. The TX 550h+ plug-in hybrid produces 404 net combined horsepower and a manufacturer-estimated 33 miles of all-electric range. For 2026, the panoramic glass roof is standard on the TX 550h+. Families in Duluth and the Suwanee corridor who've outgrown a two-row SUV will find the TX delivers everything they need without trading away the driving feel they're used to.

The Lexus GX: Serious Capability, Serious Luxury

The GX is body-on-frame with full-time 4WD, a 3.4-liter twin-turbocharged V6, and towing capacity up to 9,063 pounds as equipped. It does things no crossover in this lineup can. The 2026 GX Overtrail grade raises the bar further with 33-inch all-terrain tires, front and rear locking differentials, and a front skid plate. Inside, it's every bit a Lexus: available semi-aniline leather, a premium audio setup, and three rows for seven passengers. For buyers in Auburn, Flowery Branch, and Grayson who spend weekends at Lake Lanier or deep in the North Georgia backcountry, no other model on this list comes close.

The Lexus LX: The Flagship

The LX 600 produces 409 horsepower from a twin-turbocharged V6. The LX 700h hybrid brings an electrified powertrain to the same body-on-frame platform. Towing reaches up to 8,000 pounds as equipped. The interior sets the standard for the entire Lexus lineup: available semi-aniline leather, a 25-speaker Mark Levinson® Premium Surround Sound system on select trims, and three-row seating for up to seven. For 2026, the LX 700h gains the new Overtrail grade with locking differentials, all-terrain tires, and off-road tuning. This is the summit of what Lexus builds, and it arrives fully prepared for anything you put in front of it.
