Used 2026 RX 350h vs. New 2026 RX 350 Premium+: Which lease would you take?
Option 1: Used 2026 RX 350h Premium (Mica Blue, ~2,600 miles)
• $600/mo incl. tax, $1,500 drive-off
• 36 months / 12k miles per year
• $6,500 refundable security deposit
• ~$60k MSRP
• 2 years of maintenance included
• Registration not included in drive-off (current reg covers the next ~9 months, then I pay 3 renewals)
• 2.5L hybrid, AWD, ~36 mpg combined
• Premium package: NuLuxe heated/ventilated seats, heated wheel, power liftgate, Lexus Safety System+ 3.0
Option 2: 2026 RX 350 Premium+ (new, white or black)
• $562/mo incl. tax, $1,500 drive-off
• 36 months / 10k miles per year
• $6,045 refundable security deposit
• ~$61k MSRP
• 1 year of maintenance included
• 2.4L turbo (275 hp), FWD, ~mid-20s mpg
• Premium+: real leather heated/ventilated seats, moonroof, 14" screen, ambient lighting, wood/leather heated wheel, 21" wheels, Panoramic View Monitor, Digital Key, kick-sensor liftgate
My rough math: once gas, extra registration, maintenance, and mileage are counted, the hybrid comes out cheaper if I drive more than ~9k miles a year which is probably around how much I plan on driving. The gas one wins on being brand new, the nicer interior, and picking my color.
Which would you pick, and why?! I just want the best bang for my buck!
Please help an indecisive girl pick!!
