Like the 4WD, two powertrains are available: the "RX200t" combining a 2.0-liter inline 4-cylinder turbo with a 6-speed AT, and the hybrid model "RX450h" with a 3.5-liter V6 plus electric motor. The RX200t is 80kg lighter, achieving an improved JC08 mode fuel economy of 11.8 km/l. The RX450h is also 70kg lighter, with a fuel economy of 18.8 km/l, an improvement of 0.6 km per liter compared to the AWD. Prices are set at 260,000 yen lower for both, with the RX200t F Sport at 5.79 million yen and the RX450h at 7.165 million yen.
To coincide with the addition of this model, the "Heat Blue Contrast Layering," a vivid yet deep blue exterior color symbolizing "F" that debuted on the "RC F," has also been set as an exclusive color for the F Sport. This is said to further emphasize the sense of unity with Lexus's sports brand "F."
