The Lexus RX entered its fifth generation with the introduction of the ’23 model. Topping the range, the RX 500h is packed with consumer tech, big screens, and a hybrid powertrain. This Lexus uses electric handles to release the doors, steering wheel controls for the multi-function HUD, and a big screen that relays all of your media.
Dominated by consumer tech features, this Lexus pushes the brand’s interior styling into the future. Powering the RX 500h is a turbocharged 2.4-liter mated to a parallel hybrid system, which makes a combined 366 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque. The turbocharged four-cylinder makes 271 hp and 339 lb-ft of torque without any electrical assistance.
On this episode of Quick Spin, host Wesley Wren hops behind the wheel of the ’23 Lexus RX 500h F Sport Performance and puts it through its paces. He takes you on a guided tour of this new crossover and shows off its features and styling. Later in the show, Wren takes you along for a live drive review of the RX 500h to see how it handles the road. Joining the show, Patrick Carone chats with Wren about the RX, Lexus’ interiors, and the target demographic for this crossover. Closing the show, the pair break down what makes this Lexus special.
