FAST FACTS
"Lexus must have heard us complaining about the lackluster acceleration of the standard RX 350h, because the RX 500h puts the focus squarely on hybrid performance, delivering 366 horsepower and 0-60 in 5.9 seconds. There's a tradeoff, naturally: fuel economy dips from 36 mpg (RX 350h) to 27 mpg. But it's great to have choices, right? Maybe you don't care that much about acceleration, in which case you can save about $15k and get better efficiency with the RX 350h. Either way, you get Lexus/Toyota's peerless reputation for hybrid reliability and longevity, plus strong RX fundmentals like a refined ride and a quiet interior."—Ranked #1 out of 5 Midsize Luxury Hybrid SUVs

Sharing its hybrid powertrain with the smaller NX 350h, the RX 350h offers most of its lesser sibling's efficiency and acceleration while increasing interior space considerably.
Just in case the hybrid-powered RX 350h doesn't have enough juice for your taste, Lexus also offers the RX 500h, which comes only in "F SPORT" trim to drive home the performance theme. Adding more than 100 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque thanks to a completely different engine (2.4T) and transmission (6-speed auto), the RX 500h is very much its own entity. The fuel economy takes a dive, though, falling short of 30 mpg on the highway, so you'll have to decide how much that matters.
