The 2018 Lexus RX: before you buy
No 2018 Lexus RX is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. For anyone shopping for the 2018 Lexus RX, here are the facts that matter.
A buyer's checks
There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. NHTSA has 47 owner complaints on file, mostly about service brakes, unknown or other and fuel/propulsion system. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
What the figures tell you
Its powertrain is the 3.5L 6-cylinder hybrid with all-wheel drive. It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.
It is rated at 8.0 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 24 litres. Every 100 km costs about $12.40 in fuel at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,800 a year for 15,000 miles.
What to expect from the RX
Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height.
Who the RX suits
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
A longer test drive
Drive the RX on your commute before you commit to it. If the RX is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. A test week in the RX tells you more than any review.
Money matters
The EPA estimates US$2,800 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.40 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Choosing the right one
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
Your move
A rental request is free; the offer shows the full price.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2018 Lexus RX from us first.
