Which Lexus has touch screen?

Most current Lexus models come with a touchscreen infotainment system as standard or available. If you’re looking at older models, some used vehicles still relied on alternative controls like the Remote Touch trackpad or knobs rather than a direct touch screen.


Overview: The move to touchscreens


Over the past decade, Lexus has shifted its infotainment systems toward direct touchscreens in most models, while retaining physical controls and voice commands for safety and convenience. The exact screen size and interface can vary by model and trim, with newer interfaces offered on recent redesigns and updates.


Current Lexus models with touch screens


The following Lexus lineups typically include a touchscreen infotainment system in recent years. Screen size and feature sets vary by trim and package, but touch input is standard or widely available across these models.



  • NX

  • RX

  • ES

  • IS

  • LS

  • LC

  • UX

  • GX

  • LX

  • RC


In short, buyers today should expect a touchscreen interface in most of Lexus’s modern lineup, with size and resolution aligned to model level and trim.


Legacy controls and older generations


Before the widespread adoption of touchscreens, several Lexus models used alternative input methods that relied on a trackpad, knob, or other non-touch controls. This is especially true for models produced in the 2010s as Lexus transitioned to newer interfaces.



  • Remote Touch trackpad (a common control method on several models in the 2010s)

  • Knob- or rotary-based controls on some older trims where touchscreens were not standard


If you are buying a used Lexus, verify the infotainment control method for the exact model year and trim to avoid surprises.


Summary


Today’s Lexus lineup largely features touchscreen infotainment as the standard interface, with newer models emphasizing direct touch input complemented by voice and physical controls. Older Lexus vehicles from the 2010s may rely more on the Remote Touch trackpad or knob controls. Always check the specific year and trim to confirm how the system operates in that car.
