2025 Lexus RX500h F Sport Gets Limited Edition, Surprisingly Sharp Black Line Package
If black accents on a 2025 Lexus 500h F Sport are your thing, then move quick because this package is super limited.
Lexus is giving potential customers the chance to set themselves apart beyond the midsize SUV’s already slick styling. The automaker is bringing back the special edition “Black Line” styling package exclusively for the 2025 Lexus RX500h F Sport Performance. The Black Line was last available on the 2021 Lexus RX SUV and 2022 Lexus GX460, but this time it’s more limited.

This time around the package includes “Incognito” as the exterior color, exclusive 21-inch black wheels, orange brake calipers, a gloss black front lip, and other gloss black accents like the side mirrors. The package is finished off with a black interior featuring grey accent stitching. Its pairing with the sportiest RX makes sense, too—the RX500h hybrid combines a turbocharged 2.4-liter I-4 with a bevy of electric motors to produce a combined 366 hp.
Considering the black and grey color scheme the package is subtle if nothing else, we figure a lot of people like that it's not too over the top. Though, a lot of people won’t be able to get the Black Line package. Only 500 units will be sold in North America for the 2025 model year. That’s half the inventory available in 2021. Lexus hasn’t revealed what the package will cost; probably because it hasn’t revealed what the 2025 RX will cost yet. Expect pricing to land with the lineup-wide MSRPs whenever Lexus releases them.
For what it’s worth, considering the package’s rarity we don’t expect it to be cheap—and then there's the underlying RX500h, which for 2024 starts at $64,100. If you’re interested, you should already be on the phone with your Lexus dealer or else you’re probably too late. If you miss out, you can always rely on the ol’ rattle can route but you didn’t hear that from us.
