The new Lexus RX is the same as it ever was.
Consistency of character is an often-overlooked virtue. It’s an even more often-overlooked trap. The new 2023 Lexus RX is in an existential hammock between virtuous ideal and the hardening amber of what it has always been. And it’s lost its V6.
Inside, the RX has undergone the inevitable digital makeover. The main display in front of the driver is easily read, straightforward in its design, and otherwise… yet another digital display in an era of all things now digital. The standard secondary, center-dash display in base RX 350 models–if Lexus actually sells any base RX 350s–is a 9.8-inch unit of utter adequacy. Most RXs will be delivered with the premium 14.
What’s gone is the Lexus’ beloved 3.5-liter V6. In its place in the base RX 350 is a 2.4-liter turbocharged four rated at 275 horsepower. That’s down 20 horsies from the old V6, but the turbo four is rated at 317 lb-ft of peak torque from 1700 to 3600 rpm. That’s up 49-grunt units from the 2022 edition’s 268 lb-ft of peak torque at 4700 rpm.
