Price range
P75 → P25 of asking — the middle half of listings at that age sits inside this band. Outliers above and below excluded.
Down payment
MAS Notice 642 LTV cap applied to the age's median asking: 30% when OMV is up to S$20k, 40% above. Max loan tenure 7 years. Rows marked * mix both OMV buckets — we display the conservative 40% figure so the quote never under-states what a luxury-OMV listing at that age would actually require.
Availability
High when this age's listing share is ≥1.5× the model's uniform expectation, low when ≤0.6×, medium otherwise. Model-relative, so an evenly-spread model lands all-medium.

Brand reliability
Consumer-survey composite — JD Power · WhatCar · Consumer Reports. Same score for every variant of a given make.
Resale strength
100 − 3× annualised tangible-decay (COE-stripped). Fitted from each variant's asking-price-by-age regression then averaged at model level.
Peer set
Every same-segment model with ≥5 active PARF listings whose variants fit a depreciation curve. Practicality isn't plotted — it's a body-shape constant within the segment, so it would be the same for every dot.
Quadrants
The crosshair marks the segment median on each axis. Top-right (Safe Bets) is strong on both; top-left (Hidden Gems) holds value above what the brand reputation suggests; bottom-right (Bargain Buys) is well-built but depreciates fast — buy cheap; bottom-left (High Risk) is soft on both.

Verdict

Most reliable Lexus RX generation — 86/100 average across the AL20, with the RX 350 (2GR-FKS V6) widely regarded as the most reliable engine on the chassis and the RX 450h (2GR-FXS + THS-II) the boring durable hybrid. Avoid the RX 200t / RX 300 turbo trim where possible — the 8AR-FTS turbo is the most-complex powertrain on the AL20 and shares the same oil-consumption / rear main seal pattern that haunted the Lexus NX 200t (verify the ECU + piston-ring fix paperwork). 2GR-FKS V6 is the engine to want; full Toyota / Lexus reliability with no asterisks.

What's good

  • RX 350 (2GR-FKS V6) with full Lexus service history — the most reliable engine on the chassis. V6 NA, no turbo, no hybrid complexity. The boring durable choice that pairs Lexus build quality with bulletproof Toyota mechanicals.
  • RX 450h hybrid with documented battery SOH report — same matured THS-II Toyota hybrid family as Camry / Avalon / NX 300h. The hybrid trim sidesteps the 8AR-FTS turbo concerns and adds Lexus-grade reliability around a proven battery / inverter system.

What to watch

  • RX 200t / RX 300 (8AR-FTS turbo) without ECU + piston-ring fix paperwork — same recurring oil-consumption pattern as NX 200t; Lexus issued the fix via ECU update + revised rings. Without paperwork the engine will continue burning oil; walk unless heavily discounted.
  • RX 350 with stop-and-go transmission jerkiness — a known Aisin 8-speed pattern on the AL20 RX 350 in city driving. Software updates have addressed some; persistent symptoms past warm-up may need a transmission service (S$500-800 locally).

Common questions about the Lexus Rx

How much does a used Lexus Rx cost in Singapore?
Most used Lexus Rx on the market are around 8 years old, asking roughly S$97k–S$120k (typically about S$107k). That's the age with the widest choice — and the most sellers competing, so it's where you'll have the most room to bargain.
How much does a used Lexus Rx depreciate per year?
A used Lexus Rx loses value at a fairly steady pace — around 19% a year — with no real plateau. An older one costs less but keeps falling at much the same rate, so there's no single 'bargain age': buy on price and condition, not on timing.
Is the Lexus Rx reliable?
In our read, the Lexus Rx scores 90 out of 100 on brand reliability. That still varies by generation and how the individual car was looked after, so always check the service history before you commit.
What should I expect to pay for a used Lexus Rx with a given mileage?
It depends on the exact variant, age and mileage — a higher-mileage car should ask less. Use the price modeller on this page to get a fair-price range for a specific age and mileage, so you know what to offer.
Where do these Lexus Rx figures come from?
They're worked out from current used-Lexus Rx listings in Singapore — asking prices, mileage and registration years — not past transaction prices. We refresh them regularly, and we flag thin data rather than guess.
