New 2026 Lexus Models Cost More, But There’s Good News for Some Buyers

Lexus has begun releasing 2026-model-year pricing, and while information for the entire lineup isn’t available yet, we know that some popular models will see price increases. That’s to be expected as automakers deal with the Trump Administration’s tariffs and the uncertainty they’re bringing to the new-car market, and while it’s not what consumers want to hear, customers of this luxury brand may be a bit less cost-sensitive than those of parent brand Toyota.

Among the models getting price hikes are the NX, RX, and TX crossovers that represent the bulk of Lexus’ current sales. Those sales have been up overall so far in 2025, as have been sales of the NX and TX, but sales of the perennially popular RX are down. That could change, as this crossover sees just a small price increase compared to the other two. Here’s how things look so far.

2026 Lexus NX: $45,470

The Lexus NX gets more expensive for 2026 because Lexus has dropped the previous NX 250 base model. Now the entry-level model is the NX 350h hybrid, which gets a bit cheaper thanks to the added availability of front-wheel drive, but its $45,470 base price (all prices include a $1,295 destination charge) is still $3,210 more than the cheapest 2025 NX model.

Other variants include the non-hybrid NX 350 and the plug-in hybrid NX 450h+, starting at $46,120 and $59,105, respectively). Both are offered only with all-wheel drive, but the NX 450h+ is now available in a Premium trim level that slots below the existing Luxury version, effectively lowering its base price by $3,500.

2026 Lexus RZ: $47,295

The only all-electric Lexus model currently sold in the U.S., the RZ receives a number of updates for the 2026 model year. including more power, a bigger battery pack affording more range, plus a new RZ 550e F Sport range-topper with even more power than the two carryover RZ variants. However, the price also goes up.

The base front-wheel drive RZ 350e now costs $47,295—$3,200 more than the 2025 RZ 300e model it replaces. The all-wheel drive RZ 450e now starts at $50,795, which is $2,120 more than the equivalent 2025 model. The new RZ 550e F Sport starts at $58,295, the same as the RZ 450e in Luxury trim, a configuration that sees a $430 price cut.

2026 Lexus RX: $51,175

The 2026 Lexus RX sees a modest price increase of just $600 for the base RX 350, which starts at $51,175 with front-wheel drive and $52,775 with all-wheel drive. The lineup also includes RX 350h hybrid and RX 450h+ plug-in hybrid models—both with standard all-wheel drive—and the RX 500h F Sport Performance, a sportier model with a unique hybrid powertrain and all-wheel drive system.

The RX 350h starts at $53,475—$1,000 more than the 2025 model—while the range-topping RX 500h F Sport Performance sees an increase of just $700, to $66,850. The RX 450h+ gains a new Premium trim level starting at $66,680, which is an effective $5,930 price cut compared to the sole Luxury trim level available for the plug-in hybrid model for 2025.

2026 Lexus TX: $57,090

The 2026 Lexus TX gets a small price increase of just $500 for the front-wheel drive, non-hybrid TX 350 base model. That brings its base price to $57,090, or $58,690 if you want all-wheel drive. Like the other Lexus crossovers listed here, the TX is also available with hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains—both with standard all-wheel drive—and there are F Sport versions sprinkled into the lineup as well.

The TX 500h hybrid is available only in F Sport trim, in fact, with F Sport Premium Performance ($70,610) and F Sport Performance Luxury ($73,760) grades to choose from. The TX 550h+ plug-in hybrid is only available in a single Luxury trim level starting at $80,960. That’s $2,300 more than the 2025 model.

2026 Lexus LC: $101,700

The Lexus LC coupe and convertible enter the new model year with minimal changes, the highlights being the elimination of the LC 500h hybrid, and the return of the limited-edition Inspiration Series, with a production run of 200 coupes and 350 convertibles. They’ll feature special paint and trim materials, as well as normally-optional features including rear-axle steering.

The LC 500’s 471-hp 5.0-liter V8 is the perfect complement for this car’s evocative styling, and while the LC has never been cheap, prices at least hold steady for 2026. The coupe starts at $101,700 while the convertible starts at $109,200, which are increases of $500 and $800 over the 2025 models, respectively.
