It's been due for a redesign, and here it is, with new hybrid powertrains and new cabin technology
The Lexus RX is quietly one of America’s most popular and important vehicles. It’s the best-selling product of Toyota’s TM luxury division year after year and one of the five vehicles luxury car shoppers are most likely to consider. Its balance of serene driving experience and dependable resale value is just about right. Lexus shouldn’t change it much.
Can Lexus keep the virtues that make the RX the right answer for so many buyers and update it to keep it relevant for another eight years? A handsome evolution The 2023 RX shares a platform with the smaller Lexus NX and the Toyota RAV4. Those are less-expensive SUVs, which might have you wondering whether the new RX will feel as refined as it should. But Toyota has long made many vehicles out of a few platforms with great success. The new architecture is lighter than the old one, which might even make the driving experience more responsive.
Four powertrains, three hybrid Buyers can choose from four powertrains, none of which feature the V-6 engines that have been a staple of the Lexus lineup for so long. At the top of the lineup, a new RX 500h F Sport Performance edition appears with every trick in the Lexus bag. It combines the turbocharged 4-cylinder from the 350 with a pair of electric motors – one per axle – working through a sport-tuned 6-speed automatic transmission. That’s enough for 367 horsepower while still managing 26 mpg in combined driving.Updated cabin, safety tech The interior is an entirely new look for Lexus.
