Why A Pre-Owned Lexus RX Is For You

The Lexus RX Series is one of the originators of the luxury crossover segment. Lexus saw a gap in the market, and they filled it with a quiet, well-equipped, durable and downright perfectly inoffensive luxury crossover that is tough to beat to this day. Each subsequent RX generation – of which there have been five, including the all-new 2023 model – has gotten better and better.

Speaking of the all-new fifth generation model: its existence is one of the biggest reasons why now is the time to start looking for a pre-owned Lexus RX. We all know the golden rule: when a new model comes, there are deals to be had.

And because of all the qualities the RX has always harboured, they make a great option in the world of pre-owned luxury cars and crossovers. Its durability makes it a safe bet, while all the luxury features it has means you are getting a lot of luxury car for the price of a more garden-variety new car.

There are so many options, too -- hybrid models, long-wheelbase models, more performance models – so you really are spoilt for choice on the pre-owned RX market. That long wheelbase “L” model is of special interest because it will no longer be a thing once the 2023 model lands in dealers. Lexus has made no announcement of a forthcoming long wheelbase version, either, so if you’re looking for all the goodness of an RX but with seating for seven, then a pre-owned RX L is the way to go going forward.

For performance enthusiasts and those who want a little more visual flare, keep an eye out for the F Sport models. While their powertrains don’t really change from non F Sport offerings, they will often get features like adaptive dampers to help with the handling and ride. They are an eyeful, too, with blacked-out spindle grilles, bright colour choices and details like dark wheels.

Either way; with a pre-owned Lexus RX, you’re getting a lot of bang for your buck so be sure to have a look when on the hunt for your next luxury vehicle.
