2025 Lexus RX Review

A revised global platform is what started the 2023 Lexus RX 350 on the road to being a new generation. This new build allowed designers and engineers to collaborate fully on the technologies and amenities that combine to create the comfortable, quiet and truly luxurious RX cabin.

The spindle body combines a sculpted seamless grille design with integrated headlights. Wearing 19-inch or 21-inch alloy wheels, this SUV has a low center of gravity that adds to its grounded appearance. At the rear, an L-shaped light bar wraps around the sides. This style generates a distinctive light signature by night and a wider, more powerful silhouette by day.

Overall the build is about 200 pounds lighter. Yet the wheelbase is inches longer. Lexus minimizes the rear overhang to achieve better overall balance while maximizing interior spaciousness.

All models benefit from a special rear suspension. The multi-link suspension offers ample flexibility, but it is attached to a rigid high-torsion rear body frame. This gives it more consistency and helps the driver enjoy more confident steering.

Exterior colors offer special flair with names like Iridium, Caviar, Grecian Water, and Copper Crest. Pearls of Nori Green, Eminent White or Nebula Gray create glamorous exteriors. Then there are exterior colors such as Nightfall Mica and Matador Red Mica that simply sparkle beauty.

The main interior colors range from Rioja Red to Black. Color schemes come in Macadamia, Birch, Palomino, and Peppercorn. In addition, there’s more color contrast from four ornamentation choices. These include Dark Graphite Aluminum, Black Open Pore wood, Black Cascade, and Ash Bamboo.

Adding still more color, available interior illumination provides accents in colors of the driver’s choosing. This may be the best year ever for personalizing your Lexus RX purchase or lease. Financing is easy with pre-approval online.

The Lexus Driving Signature philosophy combines a human-centered design with intuitive technologies. This approach makes it easy for the driver to find what’s needed. The functional, concise layout puts switches, buttons, and touchscreen in easy reach. Doors can open with a touch thanks to the clever e-Latch system in this luxury crossover.

While the 2022 RX was offered in four grades, the new model year offers six grades. As before, there is Standard, Premium, and Luxury but Lexus has added a Premium Plus. Then there’s the F Sport Handling and first-ever F Sport Performance.

Spaciousness has been enhanced by the new platform. The front seat positions have more space, and even more importantly, rear passengers have more legroom. Standard cargo space has expanded, and the loading height has been improved.

The standard touchscreen includes the benefits of Apple CarPlay, Amazon Alexa,

and Android Auto. Drivers can utilize Apple Maps, Google Maps, Waze, and other navigation tools. They can get more music via Pandora or Spotify to enhance the infotainment system. Google Assistant or Siri offer easy to use voice command possibilities.

Even better, Lexus Interface Multimedia is now available with an extra-large 14-inch touchscreen system. This also adds Dynamic Voice Command which recognizes millions of phrases and makes interaction much easier.

A Mark Levinson audio system surrounds you with concert-like sound. You don’t have to wait for a Lexus RX sale to get a good price. Earnhardt Lexus is known for fair pricing.

The 2023 Earnhardt Lexus RX350 has a turbocharged inline-4 engine. Output is estimated at 275 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque. Like the 2022 Lexus RX 350, it has front wheel drive for carlike handling.AWD is available to move front-to-rear force from 75:25 to 50:50 as needed for traction.

Stepping over to the 2023 RX350 Hybrid, also known as the RX350h, the driver picks up all wheel drive for all weather capability. The hybrid system, now in its fourth generation, combines a high-torque inline 4 engine, a front motor, and a self-charging battery system. Fuel economy is excellent, and output is 246 horsepower and 233 lb-ft of torque.

Coming soon, a new 2023 RX 450h+ is a plug-in hybrid that will build on the success of the RX350h. If you want to be kept up to date about a Lexus RX hybrid sale or when the new 450h+ will be introduced, please be in touch with our staff online or by phone.

A new 2023 RX 450h+ is a plug-in hybrid that builds on the success of the RX350h. This model combines a powerful 18.1 kWh battery, rear E-Four motors and a four-cylinder engineer. This allows it to provide excellent drivability and full-time AWD.

The 2023 Lexus RX 500h F Sport Performance AWD edition is one of the most elegant editions ever. The cabin is trimmed in leather with soft suede-like door trim.

Ready for anything, the remarkable RX500h F Sport Performance powertrain is a special hybrid indeed. It combines the front motor with an inverter, a turbo four engine, and a high output rear electric motor. Known as an eAxle unit, the secondary motor is combined with an inverter and reduction gearbox. Drivers command 366 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque.

The high torque system is successful across the rev range. This means excellent low-end torque for quick acceleration off the line. On the highway, it means powerful passing potential.

Six-piston brake calipers are ready to help stop this fast mover. A special front bumper, mesh grille and 21-inch alloy wheels declare its intention to thrill and surprise.

The Institute for Highway Safety named the 2022 RX as a Top Safety Pick, and the 2023 has positioned itself to be even better. This year there is now intersection support for its pre-collision system. Furthermore, it has added motorcycle detection to the existing system with a forward collision alert and pedestrian detection. These standard features can trigger an emergency autobrake.

Also new, curve speed management informs how the all-speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control assists the driver. An emergency driving stop system recognizes if the driver is incapacitated. The lane departure alert works with a steering assist to ensure safe travel. Advanced features watch the blind spots. A head up display puts critical information on the windshield.

Advanced Park is better than ever with 12 ultrasonic sensors. It already offered conventional back-up assistance, but today the system supports forward-facing parking as well. A new Digital Latch works with Safe Exist Assist to prevent opening the door into a potential danger. It can recognize a vehicle or bicycle approaching and temporarily lock the door.
