REVIEW: 2023 LEXUS RX - ALL 4 VERSIONS COMPARED AND DRIVEN!

EV Channels Review

The 2023 Lexus RX represents a significant leap forward, offering a vastly improved driving experience across all four available powertrains. The reviewer highlights substantial gains in handling and a more dynamic feel compared to the previous generation, particularly praising the F Sport variants for their agility and responsiveness. While the base 350 F Sport Handling offers a comfortable yet engaging ride with a punchy turbocharged engine, the 500h F Sport Performance impresses with its potent hybrid system and rear-biased torque vectoring, though the reviewer notes minor gripes with the transmission's manual shifting. The 450h+ plug-in hybrid is noted for its strong electric performance, making it a compelling option for those seeking EV-like daily driving. The 350h hybrid balances excellent fuel economy with adequate performance for a family crossover. Across the board, improvements in interior technology, ride comfort, and noise isolation are consistently praised, making the new RX a much more compelling and exciting luxury SUV.
