The 2023 Lexus RX has a tamer look and a model for every taste.
This iteration of the RX F Sport first introduced on the outgoing model takes a bigger step closer to the performance suggested by its name. It employs a 2.4-liter turbo-4 with a 6-speed automatic transmission and a motor generator. A 107-hp motor and inverter power the rear axle, and the motor is fed by the brand’s tried-and-true nickel-metal hydride battery. Together, this new system produces 366 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque.
It couldn’t fully shed the physics of its 4,751-lb profile, but the four degrees of rear-axle steering made a difference sashaying through the higher speed valley sweepers. At lower speeds, the rear wheels turn in the opposite direction of the fronts to make parking easier or to hone a three-point turn into one point.
It’s a tempting alternative to the Acura MDX Type S, and sportier than any SUV from Infiniti, Lincoln, or Cadillac. It only gets a Lexus-estimated 27 mpg combined, but for efficiency over performance, check out the RX 350h.Like the 500h, the RX 350h comes standard with all-wheel drive. Unlike the 500h, it was built for efficiency mainly. Lexus targets a mpg stat line of 37 mpg city, 34 highway, and 36 combined, compared to the 30 mpg combined in the last model.
After a bit of turbo lag, the 350 responded sharply and the 8-speed automatic transmission flicked through gears without hesitation. With the engine allowed to climb into the 6,000-rpm range, there was never a doubt when passing trucks and tourists, including on uphill grades. Available AWD comes with paddle shifters for more driver control and a 0-60 mph time of 7.2 seconds, compared to 7.
