Lexus RX Window Sticker

The Lexus RX window sticker — build, options & years

The Lexus RX ran from 1999–2026 across 6 generations (1999–2002, 2005, 2008, 2011–2014, 2017–2020, 2023). Its Monroney label captures exactly how each one left the factory — the build, the options it was optioned with and the price, built around the 3.5L, 6-cyl, Regular fuel, Front-Wheel Drive powertrain.

Which year's sticker do I need? Any Lexus RX VIN works — ForCar reads the exact model year automatically. On owner data the cleanest years are 2002, 2003, 2004; the most-complained-about are 1999, 2000, 2001. For year-by-year recalls, MPG and safety, see the full Lexus RX VIN decoder.

What the Lexus RX sticker says about fuel

Fuel economy is a legally required block on every Monroney label — city, highway and combined figures plus the estimated annual fuel bill. These are the EPA numbers on file for the RX, latest tested year 2026:

The label also prints an estimated $2,625 a year in fuel at 15,000 miles, and 389 g/mi of CO₂. EPA files the RX under Standard Sport Utility Vehicle 4WD, which is the class it gets compared against on the sticker.

How the RX's sticker figure changed

Combined MPG printed on the label, model year by model year — 1999 to 2026. Worth checking before you compare a RX sticker from one year with another:

Over that span the combined figure rose by 12 mpg, so an early sticker and a recent one describe noticeably different cars. EPA revised its testing method in 2008, which shifts figures printed before and after that year.

Safety ratings printed on the label

The second required block: NHTSA's five-star crash results. This is what the RX sticker carries as of its 2026 rating:

Stars are awarded per test, so a car can hold five overall and fewer for rollover — tall vehicles usually give ground there. Compare against every rated model in the safest cars ranking.

What a used RX sells for now

The label froze the RX price on the day it left the factory; the market has moved since, and this is where it landed: median asking price of the RX by model year, from 429 live US listings:

A 2025 RX asks a median $55,990 today, a 2014 about $13,995. Full breakdown on the Lexus RX value page.

What's on the Lexus RX sticker

Every Monroney label carries the same required blocks: MSRP with itemised options, EPA fuel economy — for this car 31 mpg combined, NHTSA safety ratings — 5 stars overall here, standard and optional equipment, and parts-content origin. Every RX VIN returns its own build rather than a generic spec.

For how to read each block, what to do if the sticker is lost, and how it differs from a build sheet, see the window sticker guide.

Where to find the VIN on a Lexus RX

1. WindshieldLower-left corner, driver's side, readable from outside without opening anything.
2. Door jambOn the driver's door frame of every RX, next to the tyre-pressure and build-date plate.
3. DocumentsRegistration, title and insurance card — on a Lexus RX all three must show the same number.

All four must match. A Lexus RX whose windshield plate disagrees with the door jamb has either had a panel replaced or a tampered identity — check the paperwork before any money changes hands.
