Lexus RX 2010-2015 Specifications

The 2010-2015 Lexus RX offers two engine options: a 3.5L V6 producing 270 hp and 248 lb-ft of torque, and a hybrid variant combining a 3.5L V6 with an electric motor for a total output of 295 hp. The hybrid model offers better fuel efficiency and smoother acceleration, while the standard V6 provides a balance of power and performance.

All models come with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The hybrid variant uses an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (ECVT) for enhanced efficiency and seamless power delivery.

Standard safety features include anti-lock brakes, stability control, traction control, and a comprehensive airbag system. Optional features include adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection.

The Lexus RX achieves an EPA-estimated 18 city/25 highway mpg for the V6 model and 32 city/28 highway mpg for the hybrid. This compares favorably to competitors like the Acura MDX and BMW X5, offering a blend of performance and efficiency.

Lexus recommends oil changes every 10,000 miles or 12 months, tire rotations every 5,000 miles, and brake inspections every 15,000 miles. Hybrid models require additional checks for the battery and electric systems.

Standard features include a 10-way power-adjustable driver's seat, dual-zone climate control, and a premium audio system. Available options include a panoramic sunroof, heated and ventilated seats, and a Mark Levinson surround sound system.

The RX offers 40.0 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats and 80.3 cubic feet with the seats folded. Passenger space is generous, with 38.3 inches of rear legroom, outperforming many competitors like the Mercedes-Benz ML-Class.

The Lexus RX has a towing capacity of 3,500 pounds when properly equipped. Payload capacity varies by model but is typically around 1,200 pounds.
