The ladies seem to be the ones enjoying and driving the RX the most. I have lots of windshield time and that's just my observation.

I observe more like 50/50 or maybe 40/60 men/women. I work with 4 RX owners - two men, two women. The two men own current gen, the women previous gen. I think 4th gen styling may appeal to more men than 3rd gen.

I am going to get a 2020 hybrid .
One of my friends who has a new RDX was talking about this very thing, so I did some research on the topic.

Heres what I found out:
38% of all suv drivers are women
42% of rx drivers are Women.

Women seem to prefer the elevated seating position.

I started this posting and want to update it. I've had 3 Lexus vehicles: 2006 GS350 AWD, 2018 ES350, and the 2016 RX AWD (20" wheels and running boards). I drive a lot for work and am fortunate to have a work provided SUV or truck. From my observations about 75% of the 4th Generation RX are driven by women. Trying to avoid being sexist, I did not want to be driving a woman's vehicle, so today I pulled the plug for a 2019 RAM 1500 Liimited 4x4. The truck is so advanced and just as quite and comfortable as the Lexus.

I know that Lexus has a strong reliability rating, but I'm excited!
