This is a Motormouth couple car review of the all-new Lexus RX350h and Lexus RX500h hybrids. The 2023 Lexus RX350h and Lexus RX500h hybrids are all-new and provide more performance. The 350h has a 2.5L 4-cylinder hybrid system matched to an ECVT, 246 horsepower combined and standard AWD. The Lexus RX 500h F Sport Performance model has a 2.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder with a 6-speed automatic transmission, 367 horsepower and standard DIRECT4 AWD which sends 80% of its drive force to the rear wheels, it has a much stronger rear electric motor. There is a plug-in hybrid coming, the 450h + but it will not be available until 2023, there are no details available on this model. Lexus has dropped the RX L model but are planning to release a 3-row SUV under a different name. No word on when that will arrive. Inside the cabin, the RX has a more driver focused cockpit with the centre console angled towards the driver. It looks very similar to what is in the new NX. Gone is the trackpad from the previous model, now a touchscreen is offered in two sizes 9.8” and 14”. The e-latch system allows you to open the door with a touch of a button and works in conjunction with safe exit which will not allow you to open the door if a pedestrian, car or bike is going by. You can override the system by pulling on the lever twice. The available multi-colour illumination accents, tasteful door trim options and an available panoramic glass roof creates an open and upscale space. The base trim of the RX 350h comes with plenty of features I think you’ll be happy with but moving up to the next trim will get you the 14” touchscreen, a panoramic sunroof, heated and ventilated rear seats, leather upholstery, multi-colour ambient lighting and a wireless charger. The higher trims have the head-up display, an advanced touch steering wheel, panoramic view monitor with cleaner, a digital inner mirror and a power door with kick sensor. The top RX Executive trim is where you’ll find the 21 speaker Mark Levinson Sound system, advanced park, semi aniline seats and rear sunshades. The Lexus RX 500h F-Sport Performance top trim will get you the 21 speaker Mark Levinson sound system, a panoramic view monitor with cleaner and a 1500 watt inverterLuxury 14” touchscreen, 21” wheels, panoramic sunroof, rear heated and ventilated seats, leather upholstery, multi-colour ambient lighting and a wireless charger.
