Where the 3.3L 6-cyl sits in the RX engine lineup

Every engine family this model was sold with, ordered by size. The bar spans the model years it was fitted; the price is what cars carrying it ask today. Older engines look cheaper because the cars are older — the only fair comparison is an engine whose years overlap this one's.

The 3.3L 6-cyl RX: common questions

Which RX years have the 3.3L 6-cyl?

2004–2008, without a break — 5 model years in our VIN decode, across 18 factory configurations and 52,529 VINs.

What does a 3.3L 6-cyl RX cost?

$6,995 is the typical asking price across the 452 cars with this engine on sale today. The year-by-year ladder above splits that by model year — the spread between the oldest and newest year is far wider than the spread between engines.

What is the engine code, and does it matter?

3MZ-FE — the code the VIN decodes to on the configurations on this page. It matters when you order parts or read a service history: the same displacement badge on another model can be a different code with different outputs.
