How big is the touch screen on the Lexus RX?
The size of the Lexus RX’s center touch screen is not fixed; in the latest models you’ll typically encounter either a 12.3-inch or a 14-inch display, with some older or entry trims still using around an 8–9-inch screen.
The question spans model years and regional variations, since Lexus has updated the RX’s infotainment setup over time. This article outlines the common sizes you’re likely to encounter today and how to verify the exact specification for a specific vehicle.
Current options by generation and trim
Before listing the sizes, note that screen size depends on model year and trim. The sizes below reflect the latest generation and common configurations in major markets as of 2024–2025.
- 12.3-inch center touchscreen: A common size on many mid- to high-level RX trims in the latest generation, often paired with the Lexus infotainment system and wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto in newer updates.
- 14-inch center touchscreen: Available on higher trims or as part of a technology package in recent RX models, delivering the largest display in the lineup.
- 8–9-inch display: Found on older RX models (prior to the latest redesign) or in entry-level configurations in some markets.
In short, if you’re shopping a new RX today, expect at least a 12.3-inch center screen on most trims, with 14 inches available on higher-end variants; older models or region-specific trims may still use smaller 8–9-inch displays.
How to verify the screen size for a specific vehicle
To confirm the exact screen size for a given RX, use these checks before buying or leasing:
- Consult the official Lexus brochure or the model page for your year and market; the spec sheet lists the display size.
- Inspect the vehicle’s interior photos or feature list on the dealer’s site; look for mentions of "14-inch display" or "12.3-inch display."
- Ask the dealership to show the infotainment system during a test drive or demo; sizes are easy to verify visually.
- Check the owner’s manual or the vehicle’s settings menu, where the display size and resolution are documented.
Because options shift with new model years and regional packages, confirming directly with the retailer or official brochure yields the most accurate answer for your specific RX.
Summary
Across the current Lexus RX lineup, the touch screen size varies by year and trim. The most common center display in recent models is 12.3 inches, with 14 inches available on higher-end configurations, while older or base models might use 8–9 inches. Always verify the exact spec for the year and market you’re considering.
