2014 Lexus RX: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2014 Lexus RX is largely a carryover after the 2013 refresh. The main update is Siri Eyes Free joining the feature list, alongside a few smaller safety and equipment changes.
About the 2014 Lexus RX
3rd gen (2010-2015), post-2013 refresh, second-to-last year before the all-new 2016 fourth-generation RX.
Lexus positioned the RX as the vehicle that defined the luxury crossover formula: sedan-like comfort, easy everyday drivability, and SUV usefulness in one package. For 2014, the RX’s main draw was not sharp handling or off-road hardware; it was a quiet ride, a polished cabin, easy entry, a roomy second row, and useful cargo space. The RX 350 served traditional luxury buyers, the RX 450h added hybrid efficiency, and the F Sport gave the model a sportier look and feel without changing its comfort-first mission.
The RX 350 is the comfort-focused gas model, with a V6, a power rear door, and a sliding and reclining rear seat. The AWD RX 350 F Sport adds an eight-speed automatic, firmer suspension tuning, and sportier cabin and exterior details, while the RX 450h pairs a 295-horsepower hybrid system with the same roomy, quiet approach.
What changed, by category

The optional Pre-Collision System received braking enhancements, and Lexus extended its availability to front-wheel-drive RX 450h models.
