Lexus – other SUV models outside the named ranges from the GX through the LX to the RX: type code from vehicle class and hybrid marker, six- and eight-cylinder engines, 150 to 193 kW
This page gathers Lexus SUVs the register could not assign to a named range – from the mid-size GX through the large LX to the RX crossover. Lexus, founded in 1989 as Toyota's luxury brand, marks its SUVs with the letter X: the GX is based on the off-road Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, the LX on the large Land Cruiser, and the RX is a road-oriented crossover on a car platform; the h suffix, as in the RX 400h and RX 450h, marks the hybrid version with an electric motor.

The register lists here 15 versions with outputs from 150 to 193 kW, displacements from 2,990 to 5,663 cm³ from six- and eight-cylinders, unladen weights from 1,900 to 2,747 kg, gross weights from 2,380 to 3,350 kg, lengths from 4,740 to 5,080 mm and widths from 1,800 to 2,000 mm.
Lexus positions its SUVs against the German competition of the BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz GLE and Audi Q7; at its 1998 launch, the RX was one of the first luxury crossovers altogether and thereby laid the foundation for what is today the brand's most important segment.
On a used purchase, the GX and LX call for checking the condition of the all-wheel drive and air suspension, the hybrid models for the condition of the battery cells and their warranty history, and generally rust on the underbody and brake lines and the engine's service history and operating hours; parts run through the Lexus dealer network.
