Lexus RX 450h Generations
Each Lexus RX 450h generation, representing the timeframe between each RX 450h redesign, is listed below. Use this list to see which is the most reliable and safest RX 450h generation based on iSeeCars' data-driven ratings.
In the market for a slightly used Lexus RX 450h, but wondering if it offers the latest design enhancements? iSeeCars' team of automotive experts and data scientists compiled the most accurate and comprehensive history of the Lexus RX 450h's redesign schedule, showing which model year an all-new "vehicle generation" debuted. When a vehicle is redesigned it benefits from the latest design and engineering enhancements, which impacts performance, fuel efficiency, safety, and reliability. iSeeCars' data shows that, on average, newer generations of a model are more powerful, fuel efficient, and reliable than older generations, but not all models follow this pattern. Use the information below to track changes in the Lexus RX 450h and its engine power, fuel efficiency, safety, and iSeeCars' Reliability Ratings across model years/generations. iSeeCars' objective and data-driven Reliability Rating is based on a rigorous analysis of over 312 million vehicles, to calculate each vehicle model's useful lifespan and its ability to last 200,000 miles or more.
The Lexus RX 450h is a midsize suv last redesigned in 2016. The latest generation is powered by a 3.5L engine that makes 308 hp and delivers up to 31 mpg. A new Lexus RX 450h has a starting MSRP of $48,720, and used prices for this generation of Lexus RX 450h range from $21,833 to $56,997. This era of Lexus RX 450h earns an iSeeCars Generations Rating of 9.3, which takes both reliability and safety into consideration.
The previous Lexus RX 450h generation is a midsize suv produced from 2010 to 2015. This generation is powered by a 3.5L engine that makes 295 hp and delivers up to 30 mpg. Used car pricing for this generation ranges from $8,550 to $27,988. This era of Lexus RX 450h earns an iSeeCars Generations Rating of 8.8.

Our methodology
iSeeCars Generations Rating is calculated based on the latest research from our data science team.
The iSeeCars Generations Rating is an analysis of two factors: reliability and safety. It is calculated for each model generation based on the analysis of over 312 million cars using a proprietary mathematical model that estimated the probability that each vehicle would survive to various mileage thresholds. This survival model was used to calculate the average lifespan of each vehicle generation, which forms the basis of the reliability score. The safety score is based on NHTSA safety ratings.
Vehicles are scored in two categories:
Reliability
The reliability score represents an analysis of iSeeCars' proprietary research on the longest-lasting vehicles.
Safety
The safety score is calculated based on the last five years of crash test ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and incorporates the latest Top Safety Pick information from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
