2023 LEXUS RX 500h F-Sport Performance Review - Is the RX finally FUN?

#LexusRX #RX500h #Fsport
Today I review the most-fun Lexus RX ever made. After 4 generations, Lexus finally gave us a slew of powertrains for the all-new 5th generation. Is this the Lexus RX to get?

Correction on the brakes - I misspoke: For F SPORT Handling and F SPORT Performance, composed braking arrives via opposed six-piston aluminum calipers and 15.74-inch front rotors. The opposed calipers are 2.4 pounds lighter than those used on the LS and LC. Thanks for watching!

Hi brother, just bought the car and on the same day till 1 week later i still encounter this jerking problem when i released the brakes or going to a stop..it shakes a lot and im believing its from the engine, happens frequently when the car is after parked, do you have the same problem?

[@Hallowsaw]

I just saw one of these pass me on the highway, cameras dont do this color justice. It is amazing

[@JB19504]

I leased an 2023 RX350 F Sport. Kind of wish I got the 500 now, but otherwise with all the technology it comes with, I am satisfied. Wish I got the Mark Levinson, but they didn't have any with the ML sound system. My cousin got the 500 H and he loves it. This is my 5th RX. Almost got a BMW X6, but the pricing is getting crazy. I had priced out an X6 with the 8 cyl engine and it was $112,000. I passed. However I do own a 2023 BMW 840i convertible, so I guess I have all my bases covered. The tech on the Lexus is world class.

Finally, you teased this a little while back and was waiting for this review. Amazing color, love the interior as well. People hating on the engine, but it's true everyone is downsizing.

[@IbnMuljamMoradi]

Hands down Lexus is the most reliable car in the world. I will always own one.

[@ChristopherSimmons]

I ended up getting a 500h fully loaded with Caviar/Red. Like it so far. Coming from a Lexus Sportcross (with Supra engine), so my only wants would be a sport+ mode to tighten up the suspension by 25-30%. Would have considered the PHEV if available in states, but since not, this is working fine. Tons of room. Like a little luxury space shuttle. Yeah, a launch mode in sport+ would have been nice, but kinda not "the Lexus way." On the other hand I can probably sell this in 3 years for 90% of what I paid for it, if the PHEV is compelling down the road. :)

[@lien-chinwei4815]

I also just got mine for two weeks, and it works pretty well so far. Looking forward to testifying long term performance of 500h in coming years.

Thank you for explaining the smart latch system. The first time I saw it, i was like..?why? And I hadn't seen an explanation to this point.

[@mr.tuckers2848]

I’ve learned so much from you that the manual doesn’t clearly explain. Thanks for a great review! I just also found out the other day how to fix the issue where the seat settings won’t store. Move the seat all the way back, then all the way forward, lean the seat all the way down. It will allow you to store memory seat settings after those steps are performed. The car seems bulky yet a joy to drive. Wife is still getting used to its size.

[@Thulebeez]

Great Review Kirk I love the RX500h F-sport here is why No CVT, the Spindle body front nose works well with specific colours like black and that copper crest. As a Perfomance HEV it’s best work Lexus has done in years. Between 450h+ PHEV and 500h HEV to me it would a case of pricing.

[@rightlanehog3151]

Kirk, If Lexus wants a sport CUV they need to build it on a RWD platform. The RX 350h is the best version of the RX. 😁

[@naveenthemachine]

No it’s not😂 First off you don’t buy a luxury car for fuel economy. In fact nobody does. If they did people would be whining about fuel economy in an x3m40i or MDX type s or gv80 or Durango SRT etc. except nobody is You care about fuel economy? Then don’t buy a luxury car LOL. Plain and simple. If you can afford a luxury car in the first place then you most certainly can afford the low fuel economy. It’s basic math

[@Gpat80]

I agree with you on the RWD platform. Toyota/Lexus has plenty of money to make a RWD platform for the RX and other SUVS. This would attract so many more buyers that are looking for a sporty suv with decent performance and a RWD platform. For now, all of these customers are going for the x5 with similar performance but RWD

I still have an RCF but we traded our new NX hybrid for a new Audi Q7 it only for the space but it handles better than all the RX and GX I test drove and has more interior design features like sunshades for all the rear windows including the back hatch bigger panoramic roof a lot more ambient lighting amazing AWD system and standard big break calipers with 22 “ inch wheels on Michelin Pilot sport all season tires . Not to mention the air ride suspension that can be raised and lowered and is adaptive to the road so it’s still super comfortable even with big wheels and can tow 8000lb.

Great review with a lot of very helpful observations! Thanks! I am especially interested to hear that the electric motors aren't providing all that much grunt when you floor it from a stop. Somehow I was expecting better "launch" acceleration than you experienced. So what was that vehicle that came into view from the right then turned left (16:41)?

I was originally going to wait for this vehicle but I leased an MDX Type S Advance instead. Lexus has way better fuel economy yet for 70K the 500h is missing too many features. No air suspension, no massaging seats, only offers dark interior, no V6, no 3rd row, etc. I do like that Copper Crest color though 😎.

[@jamesfroese9232]

I agree with pairing this hybrid engine with a plugin hybrid system. Then they can add it to the Tacoma and 4Runner!

[@ronpearce7198]

Don't know if you will get this as I am a few weeks posting after you did this review. Sorry for the length of it ahead of time. I really enjoy and have followed your channel for quite some time. As a 3 time RX 350 owner, I am pretty well versed in the RX 350. We went in for service on our 2020 RX 350 the other day and we were immediately approached about trading it in as it has such low mileage. Listened to the pitch. Wife said this is what I want if we would even consider trading. Salesman brought out a fully loaded model with the new engine. We told him we were not interested in the $8,000 worth of up grades over our current package. He kept pushing. He let us take it for test drive. It had the full panoramic sun roof, which we are in Florida and it was immediately obvious that much glass was like being in an oven even with the AC full blast. Again something we were not interested in. We were really looking for the hybrid and interested in driving one. Long story short. We liked our "old" 2020 much better. They only had a couple in inventory and they were spoken for. They did not know when the next shipment was coming allegedly. They also said they did not know when they would get any hybrids in. We could order one and go thru the whole process and if we didn't like it they would cancel everything when it came in but could not say when it would come in. There was a lot more that happened but will not go into it. Bottom line is a little disappointed with Lexus and we are long time Lexus owners and Toyota owners. Our other vehicle is a 2018 4 Runner that we love. They push the hybrids yet they don't have them and inventory was till to none in general. Interest rates blew us away as well. We were at Lexus of Winter Park which is where we have bought all our Lexus vehicles including years ago a 350 ES sedan. All have been great vehicles but the dealership seems to be hurting. The overall air of luxury and and a step above their competitors is gone. I could have just as easily been at the Toyota dealer we take our 4Runner to which is over in Leesburg. At least they are honest and upfront on their status with their inventory and no pressure on sales. I know you used to sell Lexus and you are based in Florida. Just FYI. Still like the Toyota/Lexus products but and I know pandemic, state of the economy, etc, etc, etc, etc, they need to stop teasing us until they actually have the product available to the public. Maybe you could put a bug in their ears, since you have contacts..... Thanks for listening if you see this.

[@AssetAddict]

How does making the glass white reduce the time or effort required to cool the cabin?

[@pcihector]

More specific this is an automated twin disc clutch transmission. (Lexus LFA style) Very important. That is why the delay shifting gears.

[@erictate8986]

Kirk Kreifels Friend keep up the great work 🇺🇸🇺🇸😃😃💪💪👍👍👍👍

[@FlexRod]

The color is superb, seeing it once and feel in love so attractive. While I love what Lexus did here in terms of performance the price is just too high, this should have been similarly priced to compete strong with the GV70. I love both suvs but Genesis is truly onto something

[@appleseedmvp]

I am a current RX 450h F Sport owner. I am sad to see Lexus pretty much re-use all the cheap plastics setup and design for anything at or below driver's knee level. The new RX didn't get any bigger. If you are looking for a big Lexus SUV, I would recommend to wait for the new TX or GX instead.

[@mark_u]

Quite surprised the 500h reached 35-36 mpg. Could we have a non-FSP 500h though? The non-F Sport RXs just have a much better looking front end. I also don't think the RX really needed an FSP model 😅

I think I prefer the facelift of the BMW X5 plug-in hybrid which from what I hear is more confortable, offer truly electric ride with range similar to the 450+ (the facelift has more potent electric motors, 224 horsepower) and a 6 cylinder which we lost with this generation RX. In Switzerland this one cost more than 100k CHF and at this price point the sound of a 4 cylinder is a disappointment for me. I really like the sound of the V6 in my RX 450h

[@JulianGonzalez1974]

So it has upgraded suspension, 6 piston calipers and 366hp....is the AWD system configured for sporty driving?

[@AeroDude73]

Beautiful color

[@robwon8378]

Can you feel the Direct 4 working? How does it compare to a mechanical torque vectoring system such as Acura's SHAWD?

[@KirkKreifels]

This still feels 90% fwd. Acura SHAWD does a much better job splitting rear torque not only to the back but to the wheels that need it.

[@naveenthemachine]

So Direct4 is nothing more than a marketing scam to fool us? 😂

[@cory5197]

I own a 2023 RX. Beautiful car! Very comfortable and smooth! Very happy with my purchase. Now, with that being said. The 4cyl across the whole RX line-up whether it’s turbo or hybrid or both; is NOT it. It just doesn’t sit well with me. I really miss the v6 RX.

[@themagicalaries]

Which one did you end up going with?

[@adamk9652]

Agreed as a owner of a 2015 Rx-350 with the 2GR-FE V6, who had the oppertunity to drive a NX Loaner last year with the T24A-FTS TurboI4, I prefer the 2GR-FE altogether.

[@ChristopherSimmons]

Yeah, the V6 in this would have been magical. But it's understandable as the industry migrates to smaller engines and hybrids, it's the way of the world. I got a 500H in Caviar/red. Only funk was going up a hill with the 4 cylinder, kinda weird in sport mode.

[@cory5197]

@@themagicalaries I got the RX350H as that was more suited for what I was using it for. Family

It beats, by a little bit, a 2014 Infiniti Q50S Hybrid, that I had. Anyway, the grille on the RX 350h is better looking, and I saved $10K. By the way, that color gets you compliments everywhere you go.

[@ActaeonLF]

5:57 The cargo area for the previous gen RX uses a different methodology than the current gen and cannot be directly compared. The previous gen RX was measured from trunk floor to cargo cover instead of the entire trunk capacity that is more commonly used.

Thanks! The numbers didn't look right

Kirk you asked did Lexus do enough? how about reviewing the Mazda CX90 type S and CX-90 PHEV and comparing that line-up to the Lexus RX offerings - given the new CX-90, did Lexus do enough or are they falling farther behind?

[@naveenthemachine]

I’ll answer that No they didn’t. Lexus is falling even further behind than expected. Heck they’re starting to join Infiniti on the risk of being irrelevant I see no reason to choose the RX over other rivals considering it’s nothing more than a dressed up rav4 / Camry suv

[@KirkKreifels]

I can't wait to review it - CX90 will compete both with Grand Highlander and Lexus TX.

[@naveenthemachine]

But the cx90 already drives better than the grand Highlander and Lexus tx. We don’t have to wait to make that judgement. It’s not like either the gh or tx will drive like an Acura MDX or a cx90 or even a heavy lifted CTR

Interesting that Toyota has started with NiMH battery chemistry for some of its hybrid models. Less energy density than Li chemistry but both less expensive and more durable.

[@hamsterbrigade]

Also much easier to keep safe.

[@MLHunt]

@@hamsterbrigade I think people overstate the safety risks associated with Li EVs. Li chemistry is less stable than NiMH but neither is anywhere near as likely to catch fire as an ICE vehicle. I've seen figures on the order of 15 fires per 100k registered EVs per year and ~1500 fires per 100k ICE vehicles. So I think the frequent hyping of battery fires is more anti-EV FUD than a legitimate concern.

[@SkyWKing]

The lack of interior color choices really sucks for this amazing Copper Crest color. Lexus just wants to build cookie cutter black interior because it doesn't offend anyone. And black interiors suck in summer. They still have that annoying limitation that only allows you to pair certain interior to certain exterior color, meanwhile other brands are much more generous with options.

[@KirkKreifels]

FSP copper crest is only in black interior. However if you get the premium or lux models with C.C. you can get macadamia, tan, white, etc

[@Willabus2]

I had a 2013 GS with Cabernet interior. It got compliments every time someone sat in the vehicle. Unfortunately they changed to the brighter red in 2016.

[@xfirstxlast6502]

I think I am seeing a pattern here. Unless a car now has the "EV giggle" fast start, it is boring no matter how fast it gets to 0-60 or the good higher-end torque. The 500h clearly does not have the giggle even with all its front/rear motors with 6sp trans. Full EV have just changed our expectations of what a fast car is today.

[@metamorphic75]

I prefer the features and performance of the Acura MDX Type S over this Lexus. I also prefer the styling and size (interior space) of the MDX compared to Lexus. I do like the fact that Lexus has a touch screen, which is an advantage compared to the Acura MDX Type S.

When these 2.4 and 2.5 liter Turbo V4 engines spin shake like a tractor. 6 speed automatics are what 4 speed automatics were 15-20 years: dated and inefficient. By the way your claim of 35mpg when driving gently is reported on your dash as 23mpg average; imagine you were not babying the throttle…! The old V6 with electrification is smoother and more efficient! Why don’t these family haulers, promoting safety, do not have active night view assist? Even as a stand alone option.
