The 2017 Lexus RX: before you buy
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2017 Lexus RX; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars is not a leasing company. You can rent month to month and stop at the end of any booking. This page helps you judge the 2017 Lexus RX before you buy one anywhere.
What to check on the RX
NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Owners filed 103 complaints with NHTSA, most often about unknown or other, service brakes and engine; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
Engine and fuel
The 3.5L 6-cylinder hybrid is what moves it, with all-wheel drive. As a hybrid, it does best in stop-and-go traffic, where the electric motor does more of the work. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.
Rated at 7.9 L/100 km combined, it needs around 24 litres for a 300 km round trip. Driving 300 km costs roughly $36.75 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,750 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Best uses
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends.
The RX in everyday use
The higher seat of a compact SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic.
A longer test drive
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. If the RX is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Try the RX on your commute, then decide.
Picking a year and a trim
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Within the 2017 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
The cost of driving it
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Questions first?
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 2017 Lexus RX from us first.
