2023 LEXUS RX 350H: IS THIS AMERICA'S BEST LUXURY HYBRID? (36 MPG!)

EV Channels Review

The 2023 Lexus RX 350h is presented as a compelling option for those prioritizing fuel efficiency in the luxury SUV segment. The reviewer highlights its impressive 36 MPG combined rating, a significant improvement over previous models and the standard RX 350. While it offers a comfortable and quiet ride, praised for its ability to absorb road imperfections even with optional 21-inch wheels, the 350h is not about outright performance, delivering a respectable 246 horsepower. Key interior features include a new 14-inch infotainment display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and surprisingly, three-stage heated and ventilated rear seats, a first for the RX. The reviewer notes the spacious rear seating and cargo area, though precise measurements are unavailable. The primary drawback is its less potent acceleration compared to the more powerful RX 500h F-Sport Performance and a slight hesitation in the AWD system. However, for the everyday driver focused on economy and refinement, the RX 350h emerges as a strong contender, potentially the "one to buy" for many.
