2023 LEXUS RX: A MAKEOVER WITH LUXURY DONE RIGHT (AND PICK YOUR POWERTRAIN!)

EV Channels Review

The 2023 Lexus RX receives a comprehensive redesign, focusing on enhanced luxury, intelligence, and intuitive design. The reviewer highlights the comfortable and confident driving experience, noting that the new technology and design changes are easy to adapt to. Key praised features include the redesigned spindle grille, lightning bolt headlights, digital door handles, and the unified rear tail light bar. The reviewer also commends the improved liftgate speed and the clever 'walk and lock' feature. Interior highlights include the new multimedia system (available in 10" or 14" screens), touch-sensitive steering wheel controls, advanced park assist, and the frameless digital rear-view mirror. The F Sport Performance model (RX 500h) is specifically called out for its 366 horsepower, rear-wheel steering, and engaging driving dynamics, particularly in sport mode. While the reviewer appreciates the overall luxury and technological advancements, the placement of the household power outlet in the cargo area is noted as a minor drawback. The reviewer emphasizes the availability of multiple powertrains (gas, hybrid, performance hybrid) and various trim levels, offering significant customization for buyers.
