Lexus RX 2023 review: New RX500h turbo hybrid aims for BMW X5 and Audi Q7 alongside RX350 and RX350h |
|
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. #lexus #lexusrx #review -- 00:00 Intro 00:54 Pricing and features 02:29 Design 03:18 Practicality 07:00 Under the bonnet 08:41 Driving 13:41 Efficiency 14:46 Safety 15:21 Ownership 15:57 Verdict -- Read Byron's full review: https://carsgui.de/3RJy9n4 Check out our Lexus RX hub: https://carsgui.de/2GLklD3 Find more SUVs: https://carsgui.de/2o3syZz Visit our Family Guide: https://carsgui.de/2qpbJia -- CarsGuide - Go beyond the test drive Visit our website for News, Reviews, Advice and more: https://www.carsguide.com.au Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/carsguide Like our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/carsguide.australia Follow our Instagram profile: https://www.instagram.com/carsguideaus Follow our TikTok profile: https://www.tiktok.com/@carsguide Follow our Twitter profile: https://www.twitter.com/CarsGuide Follow our LinkedIn page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/carsguide-com-au -- #2023Lexus #2023LexusReview #Lexus #LexusReview #2023LexusRX #2023LexusRXReview #LexusRX #LexusRXReview #RXReview #LuxuryCar #LuxuryCarReview #CarsGuide #CarsGuideReview #SUV #SUVReview #Luxury #SportLuxury #FSport |
