See my 2023 NX Review: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bZ15g7t-rdjQfoU.html

I do like the look of the RX, front and back. Nice and unique as you mentioned

I am actually a big fan of this generation RX, I don't really get why people are so hung up over the last gen, it wasn't particularly quick, and the interior was also plasticky in some places, I mean it was comfortable but so is this new one and I think the interior materials are way better than the previous gen. The only thing I really missed when driving the turbo motor was the smoothness of the V6, but the turbo is not un-refined by any means, and the low down torque means you don't have to rev the engine too high to get moving. The RX500h felt like the old V6 in terms of smoothness but with a lot more power. I also don't get the argument of people saying the RX isn't sporty, I mean sure the 500h exists but that is still a lot comfier than other performance SUVs. The RX has always been the city cruiser that can eat up miles in comfort, and this gen does that really well to me, especially in the hybrid format. It also happens to be one of the most fuel-efficient entries in the class

The is looking better. Thanks for the excellent reporting.

The Nori Green Pearl is stunning!

I have a 2022 RX450h luxury trim and I find the seats to be very comfortable with 4 way lumbar and front cushion extender. I know there have been complaints about the previous gen F-sport model seats. We get average 28-29mpg with 3.5L V6 and total 306hp…I’m very happy with it so far and glad I got the last model year of the V6.

I just bought a luxury trim nightfall mica (blue) and it's stunning in the sunlight, even though it looks black at some angles in the shade. I do not realize when I am driving 70+ mph on the highway, because the ride is so smooth and stable.

Thank you for the review. I agree, the German’s 4 cylinder turbos run smoother, nicer sound when accelerating and have a much bigger punch.

I drove today 600 km with this car. So loud engine, and not fuel efficient at all.. but cruise control is good and car is very stable on bumpy roads

🗣Absolutely Gorgeous SUV!! Can See Myself Happily Staying With The Lexus Brand And The New RX!! Im a UK (Sept 2022 Bought Brand New) Previous Model Lexus RX 450h Premium Sport Owner Here, And Im Beyond Happy Thus Far With My RX!! Love EVERYTHING About It!! Style/Luxury/Pure Sophistication And It's On Road Comfort And Fuel Economy Are Just Fantastic!! I Highly Recommend The Lexus RX To Anyone!! 😍😘💕💖🚘

Nice watch!!!

This looks amazing, and the interior has excellent quality. But that's not what sells a lexus alone, it's the dependability and reliability. Complaints about the engine is inevitable, but literally every car manufacturer is downsizing there engines. So pick your poison, if it's anyone id trust lexus with the turbos. This will continue to sell very well. Despite the rocks being thrown at it. 😂 Good review

Glad you pick pretty colors not that silver one !

Will you review the 500H?

Quite like that green.

Is the hybrid model costing more for maintenance? Any reference?

I have a tesla model y and thinking about getting a 2024 rx350h. Would you recommend it?

Not sure what is the lead time now. The hybrid does have long lead time. We put a deposit down in early March this year (2023) for specific (exterior and interior) colors and some package options. We just got an email saying our LX 350h will be built sometime during 1st couple weeks of Oct. They also said it will be 2024 year version. 🙃🤪🙄

Hey bro, in Spain (where I live), the Lexus Lc500 costs up to 150k $...the hibrid 130k...do you think its Worth it...? Or maybe there are better Cars for the price?

I think that this is a very good Lexus car, not really a luxury brand car but a for a Lexus / Toyota it is good 👍, thanks Kevin 😀.

No, don't ditch the 21 in wheels. it adds a lot of character to the car and I'm having no problems with the Bridgestone tires. The engine has more torque than the v6 and is very smooth. I have the 2.4 turbo and it's fine. I rarely have to rev the engine past 2K so I really don't hear it. I got the Premium + and it's perfect for me. I had the Luxery model for a few weeks and I did not like the HUD as it casts a shadow on the windshield that is distracting to me. I got mine for 54K Don't spend north of 60K for this car. those bells and whistles are not worth it.

Does this require premium unleaded gas?

I only get hybrids so I got the RX 350h premium plus last night. I don’t see the point of a V6 on a hybrid when the point is fuel economy. So I think people missed the point that gas is up and want a none v6 to afford driving it lol. Yes the v6 was quiet but the gas….pointless.

i had the opportunity to try this car over a weekend and even on the high way. The speed is amazing, the pick up is not bad. However, the buzzing of the 4cyl engine is not the refinement I associate with Lexus. Also, the road noise is far to great. I had a 2008, 2011, and 2013 Rx and the road noise on the 2023 Rx is far greater than either of my previous models. I actually think the Lexus is not worth the premium over the Toyota. Not sure about this model

I bought same model different color. I’m very happy with it. The only thing is the ecvt sound.

All Lexuses have the same issues in my opinion. They're comfortable, luxurious, efficient and most importantly....reliable. But they are BORING compared to their German rivals. They're underpowered, have finicky tech and are uninspiring to drive. Not sure why they always skimp on the horsepower. Is that for reliability? I will always choose a Lexus over the Germans but man I wish they would make their cars more exciting. It's like driving a Japanese Buick.

Does the hybrid got turbos

It’s very predictable that the major complaint in Lexus reviews is primarily about performance. Car & Driver set the tone decades ago when all car reviews seemed to be centered on speed and acceleration. The irony is that speed is irrelevant after a point because of traffic laws. Acceleration has some relevance, but people don’t need or want to be thrown back into their seats to get through an intersection. The quality of components, ride, stability, and reliability make Lexus one of the premium luxury brands, this RX is no exception. European cars have long been admired for their feel and performance, but cost of ownership has made these cars less desirable.

what ex color is this?

Pros-great fuel economy. Cons-you have to buy premium gasoline, so great fuel economy is gone. 👍🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

There is a reason why the 350h sells out so fast. Most RX drivers are not about speed.

For those shopping the 500h model, you can negotiate a discount of around $7,000-$10,000. That’s what was offered to me recently

This is how they keep them reliable...by not having them super powerful

I’d go GLC/GLE over this. Or just try to get a last year build of the GX. The RX is just a lower quality car compared to the GX or GLE

4 cylinder turbo is just sucks...bring back 6 cylinder I don't care about gas prices or mpgs

I think hybrids are overrated, I wouldn’t even consider one ! I also think the new RX looks fantastic.

the worst thing Lexus has done was making their cars sporty at the expense of luxury and refinement. I will not buy another Lexus.

This is a Toyota, not a Lexus, imho. Luxurious took a step down, interior looks cheap, the interior design does not look mordernized comparing to the previous one, and I miss the watch in center console. Imo, having the small watch in the center console gives a luxury "feeling" even though the watch itself costs like nothing to whole car. I like Bentley, Porsche and some other brands keep doing that, Mer used to have one in their E and S classes but today's Mers look like Chinese cars without a "soul" in their design language which built their rep. I don't like the new look, new grill,head and tail lights. Its not ugly in any mean, actually it does look great, modern but last V6 RX gen looks way better out and inside, I know everyone has their own preference, ofc, but try to see, touch both cars in person to see the differences. The more time I spend with both cars (in a dealer saloon) the more hard time I tried to understand all of these "changes" to the RX series. I feel like they, LX, intentionally down grade the RX series to welcome their new TX or something, almost everyone I met, who had, or wanted to buy a new RX had the same feeling for this RX gen. What a shame LX, really. The last V6 RX will be forever to missed, Im trying to find an low driven ranged V6 RX but its price is even going higher than before.

If you can do without the luxury, this is simply a Rav4

Low 20 MPG. No

Hate the grill...the door handles interior/exterior is completely unnecessary and the thumb controls for the HUD is the worst design ever. Not bad overall, but some awful choices..
