2027 Lexus RX Hybrid Model Overview: Five Trims, One Refined Hybrid SUV
The 2027 Lexus RX Hybrid pairs real fuel efficiency with standard all-wheel drive and a premium cabin — a combination that suits how families around Fresno and Clovis actually drive. Five trims span two hybrid powertrains, from the 246-horsepower 350h to the 366-horsepower 500h F SPORT Performance. This overview covers what is new, the powertrains, the colors and the cabin technology.
What Is New for the 2027 RX Hybrid
The 2027 RX Hybrid carries forward without a major redesign. The notable addition for the model year is optional red front and rear brake calipers on F SPORT Performance grades, which within the hybrid lineup means the 500h F SPORT Performance AWD. Everything else that defines the RX Hybrid stays in place: five trims, two hybrid powertrains and standard all-wheel drive across the range.

How Efficient Is the 2027 Lexus RX Hybrid?
The four 350h trims pair a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with electric motors at the front and rear axles for 246 net combined horsepower and an EPA-estimated 37 city / 34 highway / 36 combined MPG‡. For the daily run between Clovis and Fresno, that is genuinely economical for a midsize luxury SUV. The 500h F SPORT Performance trades some of that efficiency for output, using a turbocharged 2.4-liter paired with a DIRECT4 all-wheel drive system.
| Specification | 350h (four trims) | 500h F SPORT Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | 2.5L four-cylinder hybrid | 2.4L turbocharged four-cylinder hybrid |
| Net combined horsepower | 246 hp | 366 hp |
| Torque | 233 lb-ft | 406 lb-ft |
| EPA-estimated MPG‡ | 37 city / 34 hwy / 36 combined | 27 city / 28 hwy / 27 combined |
| 0–60 mph | 7.4 sec | 5.9 sec |
| Transmission | ECVT | Six-speed automatic |
| All-wheel drive system | E-Four | DIRECT4 |
