3 Answers
The body dimensions of the Lexus RX are: length 4890mm, width 1895mm, height 1710mm, with a wheelbase of 2790mm. Its fuel tank capacity is 72.5 liters, and the luggage compartment volume ranges from 506 to 1579 liters, making it a mid-to-large 5-door, 5-seat SUV. The Lexus RX is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission, delivering a maximum power of 170 kW at 5200-5600 rpm and a maximum torque of 350 Nm. It features front-wheel drive, with a front MacPherson strut independent suspension and a rear double-wishbone independent suspension.
Recently while helping a friend check out cars, I happened to measure the dimensions of the Lexus RX. This generation (2023 model) has a length of 4.89 meters, nearly 5 meters long. The width was most surprising - with mirrors fully extended it reaches 1.92 meters, but the folded mirror width of 1.92 meters is more practical for daily parking. The roof rail version stands over 1.7 meters tall, offering exceptional headroom inside where legs can stretch out completely. The 2.85-meter wheelbase significantly improves rear seat comfort - last time I gave three coworkers a ride home, they all commented it was more spacious than expected. The trunk depth can vertically accommodate a stroller, making it perfectly sufficient for weekend outings with kids.
While studying the RX specifications, I noticed a detail: the fifth-generation body is 6 cm longer than the previous model, but the clever design actually results in a smaller turning radius. In practice, it doesn't feel bulky at all—just one and a half turns of the steering wheel is enough to make a U-turn. As for storage capacity, with the rear seats folded down, it can fit my entire camping gear plus a folding bicycle. Last time, I even helped my roommate move a 1.8-meter floor mirror. One thing to note is that the vehicle width data includes the side mirrors, so if a mall's mechanical parking space has a limit of under 1.9 meters, you’ll need to fold the mirrors carefully. In terms of weight, the hybrid version is just over two tons, while the gasoline-only version is about 200 kg lighter.
