The Lexus Lineup Is Slightly Pricier for 2026

New car prices continue to rise for consumers, driven by inflation, tariffs, and other economic constraints, and the Japanese luxury brand isn’t immune to these trends. Lexus has begun releasing pricing for its 2026 models, and they’re all getting more expensive. 

Lexus sales are up overall so far in 2025, led by its three best-selling models—NX, RX, and TX—although sales for the popular RX crossover are down through the first six months of the year. A trend that the model’s 2026 pricing may correct as consumers seek more affordable options. 

Sales for the NX and TX are up, countering the RX’s dip, and those two models receive modest price adjustments for the upcoming model year. It doesn’t appear the automaker wants to disrupt the sales momentum by raising prices too much on those models.

Those three crossovers make up the bulk of the brand’s sales, but we’re still waiting on pricing for the rest of the lineup. Until then, here’s how much you’ll be paying for a new Lexus in 2026.

2026 Lexus NX: $45,470

The Lexus NX is more expensive for 2026, with the automaker no longer offering the entry-level NX 250 model. The NX 350 is the new starting point, although Lexus tried to make it more appealing with a front-wheel-drive version that lowers the trim’s starting price to $45,470. But it’s still $3,210 more than before. 

The new front-wheel-drive configuration is available on both gas and hybrid NX 350 variants. The NX 450h+ plug-in hybrid sits at the top of the lineup, which Lexus has made more affordable with a new Premium grade that starts at $59,105, $3,500 cheaper than the 2025 NX 450h+ Luxury. 

Trim Base Price w/All-Wheel Drive
2026 Lexus NX350 -- $46,120
2026 Lexus NX350h $45,470 $47,020
2026 Lexus NX450h+ -- $49,105

2026 Lexus RZ: $47,295

Lexus updated the RZ for 2026, introducing an enhanced battery system that increased horsepower and range. It also increased the starting price. The 2026 RZ 350e is $3,200 more expensive than the outgoing entry-level RZ 300e. The electric crossover makes 224 horsepower, 23 more than before, and goes about 40 miles further per charge, as well.

The RZ450e makes 313 horsepower, while the addition of a new RZ 500e F Sport variant produces 408 hp. The range-topping model costs $58,295, the same as the RZ450e Luxury AWD, which is $430 cheaper than it was for 2025.

Trim Base Price w/All-Wheel Drive
2026 Lexus RZ350e $47,295 --
2026 Lexus RZ450e -- $50,795
2026 Lexus RZ550e F Sport -- $58,295

2026 Lexus RX: $51,175

The Lexus RX enters 2026 with a modest price increase, especially compared to other makes and models. The entry-level RX is only $600 more expensive than before, the same amount the range-topping RX 450h+ Luxury AWD also receives. They start at $51,175 and $73,310, respectively. 

Lexus made several minor tweaks to the RX for 2026. The wireless charger is available on all trims, and there’s a new Appearance Package available on the F Sport Handling and F Sport Performance models. The automaker also added a new Premium trim to the RX 450h+. 

Trim Base Price w/All-Wheel Drive
2026 Lexus RX350 $51,175 $52,775
2026 Lexus RX350h -- $53,475
2026 Lexus RX450+ -- $66,680
2026 Lexus RX500h F Sport -- $66,850

2026 Lexus TX: $57,090

Lexus didn’t change much on the TX for 2026. The crossover is $500 more to start for 2026, and non-F Sport models are now available with Matador Red Mica exterior paint. The automaker also made the panoramic roof standard on the TX 550h+ and added cupholders for third-row passengers. 

The TX starts at $57,090, with the TX 550h+ Luxury AWD at the top costing $80,960, which is $2,300 more than the 2025 model. Toyota offers the TX with three powertrains: gas, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid, with F Sport variants available on all but the plug-in powertrain.  

Trim Base Price w/All-Wheel Drive
2026 Lexus TX350 $57,090 $58,690
2026 Lexus TX350 F Sport -- $66,350
2026 Lexus TX500h F Sport -- $70,610
2026 Lexus TX550h+ -- $80,960

2026 Lexus LC: $101,700

The 2026 Lexus LC and LC Convertible are $500 and $800 more expensive than the 2025 models, respectively. Changes are almost non-existent, but Lexus gives each version a new exterior color option: Smoke Matte Gray on the LC and Wind for the convertible.

The Inspiration Series returns to the LC for 2026, limited to 200 units. It’s also now available for the LC Convertible and limited to 350 cars. Lexus dropped the hybrid option from the 2026 LC lineup, leaving the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V-8 engine to power both body styles. It produces 471 horsepower and 398 pound-feet of torque.

Trim Base Price
2026 Lexus LC500 $101,700
2026 Lexus LC500 Convertible $109,200
