Driving a Lexus RX doesn't require waiting for the latest model year or stretching your budget. The Lexus Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) program pairs luxury, performance, and reliability with the value and confidence that come from a thoroughly vetted pre-owned vehicle.
For Ontario drivers considering an RX, the CPO route offers quality ownership without compromise.
The program covers the refined RX 350, the fuel-efficient RX 350h hybrid, and the exhilarating RX 500h. Every CPO vehicle undergoes a rigorous 175-point inspection, includes warranty coverage, and comes with ownership benefits that make a Certified Pre-Owned RX both a smart financial choice and a gateway to the Lexus lifestyle.
What Makes a Lexus Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle Different
The Lexus CPO designation is reserved for vehicles that pass an exhaustive quality assurance process. Every candidate undergoes a 175-point inspection conducted by factory-trained Lexus technicians. This inspection covers every critical system - engine performance, transmission operation, safety features, interior comfort, and exterior condition.
Technicians verify that all outstanding safety recalls and service campaigns have been completed. They ensure the next scheduled maintenance is performed within 3,000 kilometres or two months. They road-test the vehicle under cold and hot conditions, checking engine operation, transmission shifts, steering response, brake performance, and ABS functionality.
Under the hood, they examine fluid levels, hoses, belts, seals, and emission controls. Inside, they test every gauge, control, seat adjustment, and technology feature - from the Lexus Interface multimedia system to the Blind Spot Monitor and backup camera.
When you take delivery of a Certified Pre-Owned RX, you receive a vehicle that looks, feels, and performs as Lexus originally intended.
Comprehensive Warranty and Roadside Assistance
Every Certified Pre-Owned vehicle includes Powertrain Warranty coverage for one year or 20,000 kilometres from your purchase date, whichever comes first. This coverage protects critical components - engine, transmission, drivetrain.
Lexus offers Extended Coverage Plans (ECP) designed specifically for Certified Pre-Owned vehicles. These plans allow you to extend protection further, tailoring coverage to match your driving habits and ownership timeline. Your Lexus dealer can walk you through available options.
Roadside assistance is included for one year with unlimited kilometres. Whether you need a tow, a jump-start, fuel delivery, or lockout assistance, help is one phone call away. This coverage ensures you're never stranded.
The 10-Day Exchange Privilege
The CPO program includes a 10-day or 1,500-kilometre exchange privilege. If you're not completely satisfied with your Certified Pre-Owned RX during this period, you can exchange it for another vehicle.
This policy gives you time to experience your RX in real-world conditions - commuting, weekend trips, family errands - without pressure.
CARFAX Canada Report for Transparency
Every Lexus Certified Pre-Owned vehicle comes with a CARFAX Canada report. This vehicle history report provides transparency about the vehicle's past, including previous ownership, accident history, service records, and registration details.
CARFAX is Canada's trusted source for vehicle history, and its inclusion in the CPO program reinforces Lexus' focus on integrity and buyer confidence.
Why the RX is an Ideal CPO Choice
The Lexus RX has been Canada's best-selling luxury SUV for years. Its combination of bold design, refined interior, advanced technology, and proven reliability makes it a standout in the luxury SUV segment.
The current RX lineup includes more than 13 distinct configurations across four powertrains, but earlier model years remain highly desirable - and Certified Pre-Owned examples offer strong value.
RX 350 Models:
The RX 350 features a 2.4-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 275 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. This powertrain delivers confident acceleration and composed highway cruising.
Fuel efficiency is rated at 9.9 L/100 km combined. Inside, RX 350 models offer spacious seating for five, with 838 litres of cargo capacity behind the second row and 1,308 litres with the rear seats folded.
RX 350h Hybrid Models:
For drivers prioritizing fuel efficiency without sacrificing performance, the RX 350h pairs a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine with an electric motor, generating 246 system horsepower and delivering 6.5 L/100 km combined fuel economy.
The hybrid system operates smoothly, with fluid transitions between electric and gasoline power. Cargo capacity matches the RX 350, and the hybrid's all-wheel-drive system ensures confident handling in all seasons.
RX 500h Performance Hybrid:
The RX 500h pairs a 2.4-litre turbocharged engine with a high-output electric motor, producing 367 system horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. This powertrain delivers thrilling acceleration while maintaining a fuel efficiency rating of 8.6 L/100 km combined.
The RX 500h also features four-wheel steering and adaptive variable suspension, enhancing agility and ride comfort.

Lexus Ownership Privileges
Owning a Certified Pre-Owned Lexus means joining an exclusive community. Lexus CPO owners enjoy the same privileges as new vehicle buyers, including access to the Lexus High Performance Driving Program, partnerships with luxury hotels, invitations to special events, and other rewards.
These benefits reflect Lexus' focus on creating amazing experiences for every guest, regardless of whether they purchase new or pre-owned.

Attractive Lease and Finance Options

Your dealer will work with you to explore available rates and terms, making the path to RX ownership as smooth as possible.
Why Choose CPO Over New
For many buyers, a Certified Pre-Owned RX offers the best of both worlds. You gain access to Lexus' legendary quality, reliability, and luxury at a more accessible price point.
Depreciation - the steepest cost of new vehicle ownership - has already occurred, meaning your CPO RX retains its value more effectively over time. You also benefit from the same rigorous inspection, warranty coverage, and ownership privileges as new buyers, without the premium price tag.
If you're considering a slightly older RX model, the CPO program ensures you're not sacrificing quality. The 175-point inspection and one-year warranty protect you against surprises, and the inclusion of CARFAX reports and exchange privileges adds layers of confidence.
The CPO Advantage for Ontario Drivers
Ontario's diverse driving conditions - from winter snowstorms to summer highway trips - demand a vehicle that's reliable, capable, and comfortable. The Lexus RX, with its standard all-wheel drive, refined interior, and advanced safety features, is built for these challenges.
The CPO program also aligns with practical financial planning. By choosing a pre-owned RX, you can access higher trim levels or additional features that might have been out of reach on a new model. Whether it's the panoramic moonroof, Mark Levinson audio system, or heated and ventilated seats, CPO inventory often includes well-equipped models at attractive prices.
Experience the Lexus CPO Difference
The Lexus Certified Pre-Owned program delivers the same level of quality, service, and satisfaction that defines the Lexus brand. From the 175-point inspection to the warranty, from the CARFAX report to the exchange privilege, every element is designed to ensure your confidence.
