2023 Lexus RX: Multiple editions shine at first drive

2023 Lexus RX: Multiple editions shine at first drive

Reviewers got an early taste of the 2023 Lexus RX and, in general, they like what they see.

The new luxury crossover comes in six editions — each offering different types of powertrains and different levels of power. The most powerful model, the RX500h F Sport Performance, combines a turbocharged 2.4-liter engine and electric power to produce 367 hp.

Exterior-wise, the new RX is largely unchanged, with a commanding grille and sloping design that continues to be a crowd-pleaser.

A common complaint was the touch screen infotainment system. Its plethora of menus had many reviewers bogged down and frustrated, and leaves much to be desired as user-interfaces go.

Not all price points and specifications have been released. The 2023 Lexus RX is expected to hit showrooms by the end of 2022.

Here’s what else reviewers had to say:

“The front end is more upright with a pronounced nose between the enlarged headlamps’ L-shaped light signatures. The SUV retains its floating roof design, while a more raked windshield and muscular contours over the rear arches add a sporty flair. Bringing up the rear, the horizontal taillights now connect across the hatch to form a continuous light bar. Overall, the new RX is a good-looking SUV. read more
