2027 Lexus RX Interior Space and Features
The 2027 Lexus RX offers 29.6 cubic feet of cargo space behind its second-row seats, expanding to 46.2 cubic feet with the rear seatbacks folded flat. Built on a 112.2-inch wheelbase with an overall length of 192.5 inches, this two-row luxury crossover seats five, with 41.1 inches of front legroom and 37.4 inches of rear legroom.
Those cabin dimensions hold across the full 2027 RX lineup, which spans six grades and four powertrains.
How Much Cargo and Passenger Space Does the 2027 Lexus RX Offer?
Cabin Dimensions
The cabin is laid out to keep five adults comfortable on long highway drives. Front-row occupants get 58.1 inches of shoulder room and 38.1 inches of headroom in moonroof-equipped models. Rear-seat passengers get knee room and headroom sized for adult riders rather than occasional use.

| Cargo volume, rear seats folded | 46.2 cu ft |
| Wheelbase | 112.2 in |
| Overall length | 192.5 in |

Cargo Area and Rear-Seat Flexibility
A power rear door comes standard across the lineup, and the available 40/20/40 power split-folding rear seat handles mixed loads of gear and passengers. The center section folds independently, so longer items can pass through the middle of the cabin while both outboard rear seats stay upright and usable. For weekend trips from Visalia toward Sequoia National Park, that layout lets families stow coolers and travel bags without giving up rear seating. Folding the rear seats creates a flat load floor for longer cargo.

Lexus Interface Displays, Audio, and Connectivity

A 9.8-inch touchscreen is standard and a 14-inch high-definition touchscreen is available, standard on the Premium+, Luxury and F SPORT Performance grades. Both screens use a high-adhesion, anti-reflective coating for a vivid display, and a center knob at the bottom edge of the screen controls power and volume.

Seat Materials and Interior Finishes by Grade

NuLuxe anchors the Premium and F SPORT Design grades. Leather trim arrives at Premium+ and is also used on the F SPORT Performance grade. Semi-aniline leather sits at the top of the range on the Luxury grade, where Lexus shows it in Macadamia, Black and Peppercorn.

Six interior colors are offered — Macadamia, Black, Birch, Palomino, Peppercorn and Rioja Red — paired with four ornamentation styles depending on grade: Black Cascade, Ash Bamboo, Black Open-Pore Wood and Dark Graphite Aluminum. Lexus shows these pairings across the RX line.

Rioja Red and Black interior themes are selectable on these grades, accented with Dark Graphite Aluminum trim, and the F SPORT Performance adds a perforated leather-trimmed shift knob.

Two-Row Seating and Rear-Seat Flexibility
The 2027 Lexus RX is engineered as a two-row, five-passenger midsize luxury SUV and does not offer a third-row seat. Buyers who need three rows are served by the larger Lexus TX or Lexus LX. Shoppers weighing the RX cabin against a rival should see our 2026 Lexus RX 350 vs. BMW X5 comparison.
Within two rows, the RX adds real flexibility. The available 40/20/40 power split-folding rear seat can be raised and lowered with power controls, and on higher grades such as Luxury the outboard rear seats add power adjustment, heating and ventilation. Rear passengers can charge devices from USB outlets in the second row, and an AC power socket is available in the cargo area for camping gear and electronics.
