2023 Lexus RX: Which One to Buy?

[@TheDoltonboy]

Funny, most journalists suggest the 350h. The 0-60 is nearly identical and a significant mpg boost plus it reduces the noise from the rough sounding 4 turbo 4

[@Tanfo77]

It's only loud on eco mode, it sounds better in sport mode. Hybrid cost breaks even a 2-3 years but the repair cost is more for hybrids though if keeping it for a long time as the hybrid batteries aren't cheap. And you only save gas with city driving.

[@tonyantonuccio4748]

Lexus builds the RX by allocation. That is, you can't order one just the way you want it. They make them, you buy them. Try to find a Premium + with 19" wheels? Good luck. Yes, the 350h Premium + is the sweet spot. You'll pay about $60K for the privilege. Is it worth it? If you enjoy a true luxury car, with above average power, and excellent MPG, you bet it is.

I think I rather buy the recent previous generation..... nothing beat an old fashion V6 with excellent reliability record....

[@joelgarcia3907]

What why do we have to get the 500 or plug in if we wanted a hybrid? 350h too noisy for you? Sure. But going 500 kills the fuel economy benefit. The plug in fuel economy tanks if you drive on longer trips.

[@fbp452]

99% of premium plus models come with 21" wheels. And hardly any premium plus models have the upgraded sound system. I agree that would be the sweet spot, but unfortunately you're stuck with what Lexus produces.

Buy the year before with the VP non turbo....End of Story!

[@peter27241]

The front OK

[@rocketman3158]

ACURA MDX is better

[@Aikynbreusov]

The brand new Mazda CX-90 is a great alternative to this brand new RX350.... the Mazda CX-90 is v6 with a turbo....

[@ilrock]

I a agree with you. That Mazda CX90 comes very close to the RX

[@adyk6604]

Too expensive. Pricing isn’t right for this car.

[@Taylorc52]

That’s what cars cost these days.

[@georgeyang1013]

Totally agree. Power train and mechanical setup don’t justify the price and the ‘Rx’

[@naveenthemachine]

Here’s the short answer: NONE 😆. There’s no recommendable RX. If you’d like I can explain why

[@corpnupe85]

I agree. Who wants a 4 cyl vehicle.

[@naveenthemachine]

@@corpnupe85 who wants a 4 cylinder vehicle that’s also based on a Camry?

[@NileshR12]

@@naveenthemachine It's not "based on a Camry"

[@naveenthemachine]

@@NileshR12 yeah it is 😂. The TNGA K platform is Camry based RAV4 venza highlander sienna grand highlander Avalon crown nx RX and thr upcoming TX 3 row are all Camry based vehicles. That’s always been the case. The Camry is the bedrock of the TNGA K platform

@@naveenthemachine if so which one you would suggest

[@thomasbednar7475]

Base engine is a new 2.4L inline 4cyl, not 2.5
