The redesigned 2023 Lexus RX, including new hybrids, might look similar, but it’s a revolution inside and underneath, making this a fierce large luxury SUV alternative to the BMW X5 and Volvo XC90.

Key changes include a new platform (Toyota New Global Architecture) shared with other Lexus and Toyota products of late, as well as a hybrid turbo first in the guise of the 500h F Sport Performance AWD. This combines frugality with punch, giving strong acceleration. There’s also a 350 turbo, but most buyers are expected to choose the 350h hybrid – which also happens to be the base powertrain choice now.

Inside, Lexus has completely overhauled the dashboard, with a new 14-inch touchscreen dominating. It is far simpler and more intuitive to use, while the company has moved away from the old button fest, for a more nuanced and logical layout.

In this expert review, Contributing Journalist Byron Mathioudakis finds out if the new RX has what it takes to be the best in class.
