The new Lexus RX offers three hybrid powertrains and many options. Here’s how to choose the best engine and features in the 2023 RX.
Although RX350 is a familiar designation, that number no longer designates a 3.5-liter V-6 engine. Instead, the entry-level RX now hasmaking 275 hp and 317 lb-ft of torque—less power than before but much more off-the-line torque. After an eight-speed automatic, FWD is standard and AWD optional. Fuel economy is estimated at 24 mpg combined.
Beyond its $48,550 standard trim, the RX350 is offered in $50,550 Premium, $53,150 Premium+, $56,550 Luxury, and $57,550 F Sport Handling specifications. On standard, Premium, Premium+, and Luxury trims, add $1,600 for AWD.Want a Lexus hybrid SUV? Look for the lowercase"h" that denotes Lexus' hybrids. In the case of the RX, the RX350h. It's equipped with a 2.5-liter I-4 and two electric motors that combine for 246 hp and 233 lb-ft of torque.
Standard, Premium, Premium+, and Luxury grades are available, at $50,150, $52,150, $54,750, and $58,150, respectively. Put away your calculator—this means each trim of the RX350h is the exact same price as the equivalent trim for a non-hybrid RX350 equipped with AWD. Thus, choosing to go hybrid is a no-cost option if you were going with AWD anyway.If the"h" means hybrid, what does the"+" stand for? That's the icon Lexus attaches to its plug-in hybrid vehicles .
Despite that appealing efficiency, the RX350h has refinement issues like a droning engine noise under acceleration and some vibrations transmitted through the pedals. Even though the standard RX350 can't match the hybrid's efficiency, its new turbocharged engine makes it better to drive than the V-6 model before it. With that and its overall smoothness, the RX350 is our choice in the range.
