People love to hate on the "Toyota" cruise control stalk, but at least it doesn't take away from the usability of the buttons on the steering wheel like this new system. Also, not sure I've ever driven a Lexus in recent years with the dimmer switch linked to both displays. You can adjust the brightness in the infotainment for both day and night modes independently. I did that _one time_ when my IS was new to me and have not touched it since.

Very nice POV setup. Well thought out. I drove 500h 3 days ago and the chassis is really convincing. Also the regular gearbox is sweet feeling. I have bought RX f sport 2022. My wife has the 2021 Luxury. So the only thing I observe as negative is the 4cylinder dron note. With the v6 the engine act similar but the tone is a different planet. It's a reason I have left RAV 4 and replaced it with my 450h F sport (I was envious every time I drove my wife car :-). Fuel efficiency of RX450h is some 5-7mpg worse than the new gen 350h. The only one I'd consider is 500h but then fuel economy is even worse than 450 h '22 and really, if I wanted a dynamic car I'd get X6 which is similar price like 500h - at least here in EU.

Hi @thetopher is there any difference between the 14 speaker and 21 speaker system? I’ve been waiting on a 500h but if I’m already paying that much for a car, I didn’t want to miss out on a sound system that may be slightly better than the other. Are they body Mark Levinson except with less speakers on one vs. the other? Thanks!

@lixiaochen6 Жыл бұрын

The base is a 12 speaker, not 14. The base is not bad but the ML is appreciatively better than the base, even for non-audiophiles. If you're paying for 500h I think you should opt for the upgrade. They have availability issues with ML due to component shortages though.

The thing is with the new hybrid system, powerful electric motors and bigger batteries the old v6 is not required anymore. It'd be stalling the vehicle with higher gas consumption and weight. In the current hybrid system electric motors are always engaged, even at highway speeds and you never loose the electric power because the engine keeps the battery charged (the new 450h phew is different and after you deploy the battery, you get the power of 350h). I have '18 rx350L with the v6 and while I love the engine for its smoothness, I won't miss it if it saves me 5-6l/100km, that's significant for a long term ownership. I was always against 4-bangers but seeing my dad's car in europe (2.0 tfsi), how quick it is, how smooth and refined the engine is, I don't think you need anything else, unless it's a bigger vehicle with a non-hybrid system (like my current lexus). 4-bangers are not noisy and slow anymore.

The way you articulated how annoying the steering wheel controls are really resonated about how frustrating something so simple can be. HOPEFULLY, because this is pre-production, you can blind press what you know the key would be and it would work as expected. Maybe with that fix it might actually become a good system. It’s a shame one of those most important ergonomic points has to take away from an otherwise superb vehicle. I know people dislike the buzzing 4 cylinder, but until we go electric this is the world we live in. Also, I’m sure you throw on some music at a normal volume and you won’t hear much of anything. Great review ty.

Unfortunately as a 2022 NX owner I can confirm that this is how those capacitive buttons work in practice. My guess is the delay is meant to counteract accidental palm presses, which makes sense in theory but isn't practical.

I tried all 3, the Lexus interior is still better. There are some details that doesn't convey well in videos. I tried Mazda CX-5 signature, Honda CRV Touring (Sport?) and Lexus RX. The seat is the biggest difference. Lexus is the only one without a pressure point for me. CX-5 actually comes pretty close in many aspects, but it's not as quiet, and the stitching is quite as uniformed. CRV is quite a bit more behind, in the feel of plastic and headliners. But it's quiet and drive train is really smooth. If you find CX5 and CRV's seats to be comfortable, they are both quite great considering the price. But I really can't compromise on seat comfort and they just don't work for me.

My main complaint is the loss of the luxurious wood that my 2022 RX350L luxury has. I LOVE my slick beautiful wood steering wheel! The 2023 has only partial wood on the steering wheel, and all I’ve seen is open pore wood that looks much cheaper. I hope they bring back a bit more luxury in the interior, especially the wood, before I buy another. Everything these days is about tech, and I’m afraid we are losing the beauty in favor of contemporary convenience.

With the hybrid it’s not really a CVT, even though they call it that

@@Nimzo6 yeah I just realized that this new RX and HX hybrids are not really CVT, it is more planetary gear.

I’m considering between new 2023 RX 350 and 350H. Do you think which one is more comfort and better acceleration…? I’m not interested in the new 450+ plug-in or 500H is too expensive, not worth it! Any thoughts. Thanks

The 2023 Lexus RX shares the same interior with the 2022 Lexus NX?

@ARentz07 Жыл бұрын

No, it has some elements from the NX but has its own layout and materials.

I don’t hate it, but something just bugs me about the front end where the hood meets the grill…

Something is off I agree. Although I saw a new one beside the previous gen on the lot the other day, and this much cleaner.

Chris, The Lexus RX is the sensible choice in the luxury CUV market and this 350h has to be the most sensible version of the RX.😁

Agreed. I believe the 350h will also be the best selling version of the RX. Spare tire, proven nickel metal battery, & naturally aspirated engine.
