Side by Side Walk-Around! New 2023 Lexus RX vs. Old 2022 Lexus RX

The new 2023 Lexus RX has been unveiled, and Tim and Jill got their hands on both the new model and the old model, for an awesome comparison video. Watch them walk around both the exterior and interior of the 2023 Lexus RX 500h F Sport and the 2022 RX 350 F Sport and see if you can spot any differences that they didn't mention. Did Lexus do enough with the new model? Do you like the changes, or wish they had left something alone?

“Just look how busy that looks!” (pointing to the 2022 center console). Yeah that’s called fixed physical buttons, which a lot of people like instead of fiddling through the screen for everything you need.

[@bogart5131]

Physical Buttons are excellent and prefered

[@Kenny-bj2zq]

Should have kept the V6 engine - or at least offered it as an option

[@Meltdown900cc]

I guess you guys didn’t spend enough time in the 2022 RX mine has ambient lighting throughout the whole interior and it also has a wireless phone docking charging pad ! Last but not least the 22 V6 is 10 times smoother than the 23 4cyl.

[@tomhalbouty3653]

Another factor between purchasing a 2022 or waiting for a 2023 is that the extremely reliable Lexus, naturally aspirated V6 available in the 2022 will not be available in the 2023.

[@kevinleming194]

This is the HUGE and main difference. Twin turbo 4 cylinder will not be as reliable period for this size of vehicle!!

[@MrChuckwagon55]

@@kevinleming194 - 100 true. Turbos killed Honda’s reliability when they went to them. All because of new emissions standards.

[@partizanbgd0113]

Got my 2022 in December (purchased) January (delivered) at the peak of used car prices. Got a rebate on it and low interest, plus great amount for my trade in used Toyota. Looking at my decision from distance, made a great choice. Got the 6 cylinder vehicle, high price on my used car (market has come down since). I like how the new one looks at the back, but prefer mine when I look at the front. As for infotainment, I don’t really care, it has a great connection to my phone for calls and music, and that’s all I need. These guys pointing out handles and chrome bezel/lining, WHO CARES.

[@caroad2008]

That is exactly why I ordered a 2022 RX, for the silky smooth V6 that makes the RX a nice place to be in on a daily drive or long road trip.

[@joeallocco4261]

Although it’s late in the year, October, my wife and I decided to finally purchase the 2022 RX 350 because of the V6 engine. We DEFINITELY did NOT want to go with a four-cylinder engine for the new 2023 line. The V6 is and always will be “one” of the biggest selling points when buying a car/SUV.

[@mikestowe6136]

i love these reviews they act like the 22 is a piece of shit compared to the 23 ill tell ya what its gonna turn alot of people off not being able to get the 3.5 v6 cause we all know turbos wear out engines soonern turbos alway have problems with miles im buying a 22 rx 350 this week to get the v6 atleast the old style doesnt look like the front end got smashed

[@Ultramimimaxxx]

Old one was better

[@MrChuckwagon55]

The huge elephant in the room is Lexus getting rid of the bombproof 3.5 V6 engine that lasts forever to a 4 cylinder turbocharged engine. Turbocharged engines have far more mechanical problems & wear out faster. Toyota switching to turbocharged engines is purely because of new emission standards.

[@larrycohen5208]

Sounds like ther're both struggling a little trying to say the 2023 model is a big inprovement. They fail to mention that the 2022 RX came with a naturally asperaited v6 while the 2023 RX only comes with a turbo 4.

[@ItzCyCy]

I don’t get the hate for the track pad… it’s a much safer interface than a touch screen. I actually don’t mind it and I feel like it’s much safer to use while driving. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@ishan_p15]

Sameee lol. Just wish they kept the old, larger grill design. I personally like the old 2022 exterior better.

[@vkmarwaha1]

I agree with Tom. I was debating between 2922 and 2023 natural aspirated v6 vs V4 Turrbo but picked up new 2022 recentely RX 350L as V6 Natural Aspirated enhines are far more reliable than these new turbo's. As I keep car for long time.

[@mixelventura1599]

I like the buttons! When I’ve had vehicles with only touch-screen, it hasn’t been safe. I like being able to glance down, & quickly “feel” the button I need to use vs. having to “read” the touch screen for the function I need to use...it takes my eyes off the road for more seconds which I found dangerous while driving. Lexus, keep the buttons!!!!

[@juanitomaxxcarnaje3877]

Looks like someone forgot to remove the white -plastic transport protection film from the upper portion of the grill. Get a 2022 model before they are gone.

[@tonyhui4202]

I have a 2010 RX450h with 440,000km, will be getting a 2022 in the next few weeks. The only things I like about the 2023 are wireless CarPlay and a smarter adaptive cruise control that will slow the car when it enters a curve. The 4 cylinder hybrid is a downgrade, wouldn’t mind trading the V6 for the plug in with bigger battery and electric motors, but that will add thousands of dollars. I don’t really like the front of the 2022, but it still looks infinitely better than the new model.

[@pierretasse119]

Thanks, very nice to have you comparing old and new.

I just bought a 2022 RX 350 with 6cyl . Don’t care for new 2023 with 4cyl. Lexus making mistake not offering version with 3.5 !

[@GH-cp9wc]

Sorry, the loss of the well respected, ultra reliable, bullet proof 6 cylinder is a deal breaker for me. Will the turbos go 200K without a major expense? I don't think so. Also, not sure about the eyes not on the road infotainment system being difficult to use, even just using buttons seems easier and safer. Not to be overly critical, the rear deck looks like it will allow cargo to just flow out, if on an incline.

[@mrpanama1977]

I've been looking for a side-by-side comparison and this video was the perfect one I was looking for. Convinced me to get the new 2023 vs getting discounts in getting the 2022 or 2021 models. I totally agree with how busy the console is in the old one. New one looks a lot streamlined and again, thanks for this evaluation - perfect timing and putting in my deposit for a new on this week. Only thing is there's a backlog and wait for the new ones I was told. Great job!

Thanks for the review and comparison. I have a 2015 Nissan Murano Platnum AWD and love its design, but I have had to replace the CVT transmission twice now at 62,000 miles. The first time at 48K Miles and in warranty and again at 62K miles and had to pay a portion of it. It is shocking there hasn't been a recall on this but moving on. I do not want to keep the Murano and have been looking to replace it. The Lexus was an option, and I did have a Lexus before the Murano. Something to think about now with the new design. I am concerned about the longevity of the now painted surfaces, though. I think I prefer the older exterior design but what held me back from a Lexus RX was the interior. You pointed out everything I did not like about it, and it has been updated and changed! Next will be a comparison of the engine and drivetrain. After the nightmare with the Nissan CVT, I am interested in this. Thanks again.

I may have missed it, but has anything been mentioned about being able to use regular 87 fuel in the new model?

I heard the 2023 will require premium fuel! However, not substantiated by Lexus!

It a turbo 4 and it has much more torque than the V6. The RX is not an SUV, it’s a car (aka crossover).

[@jschalk7]

The new 2023 has 4 power train options, V4 TURBO, Hybrid plug in, Hybrid, and all electric. So 3 of the 4 have electric involved in propulsion. The only option of gas is a TURBO, which won't last as long as the V6 naturally asperated engine. The V6, if maintained correctly, will last forever, the TURBO won't.

[@benjaminsmith2287]

The all electric is the RZ. That's a different car but looks similar to the RX. Unless there's an all-electric RX I'm not aware of.

Great review!!! And yes, I too hear the 'haters' in the same voice!😂 But let them hate! It will make getting my hands on her much easier! 🥰 I began car shopping this time last year. I've seen the RX and NX in parking lots and on the road but they never "wow'd" me. Saw this and she immediately went to the top of my list! Sassy, classy and a little badassy! The grille didn't thrill me at first, but none of them do. However, when I see the 2023 next to the misshapen hourglass of the 2022..I like it better. Love that the silver chrome is gone! Maybe more and more makers are changing up the taillight design because it looks better! I live in the desert so rear climate control and ventilated seats is a definite plus! I was set on another make/model but as soon as this popped up...well, I think I have to have her!!! Thank you for mentioning it was a pre-production model and for the side by side comparison..great video. Subscribing!

[@elliottgarner7135]

One other point I'd like to make; 4-cylinder engines work harder than their V6 counterpart. A turbo engine is not meant to be driven locally or shall I say around town. Those engines run more efficiently when driven on highways. For instance, my wife drives a 2022 QX55 with a 2-liter four-cylinder variable compression turbo engine. When she comes home after her short trips around town, I can literally smell the unspent fuel in our garage. I must change the oil every 5000 miles or 6 months and since she averages 3,000 miles a year, I've changed it twice already(she purchased it in 2021). Also, don't forget to change the Engine Air Filter or you'll defeat the purpose of having a turbo. Hope that the 2023 RX turbo comes with at least a donut spare tire as opposed to Run Flat Tire and a small tire compressor. Lexus's V6 engine is a time-tested reliable engine; why are they messing with a good thing?

[@Pickuptrucktalk]

EPA emissions standards. They simply can't keep building the V6 and pass future emissions standards.

I’m currently in the market for a 2022 RX 350 (luxury) in my humble opinion (and I do understand evolving trends) but there’s no comparison, the old 2022 with the buttery comfort and effortless V6 and this “new thing” with a ho-hum interior and 4 cylinder inferior engine (and smaller interior and roofline. I’ve test driven both and to me the clear winner is the old 22 model, in luxury feel, comfort , space and reliability. Edit: in the end it’s all about subjective rainbow 🌈 colors.

I had a 2019 Acura RDX before I purchased the 2021 Lexus RX350. The horse power & the information system is much better on the Acura. What sold me on the Lexus is the smooth ride. I was very disappointed that the Lexus has so much plastic on the interior for a luxury vehicle. I was not a big fan of the grill on the 2021 RX but it grew on me. I don't like the exterior of the new one at all. I don't think Lexus should try to have a similar design as other vehicles. For the price point they should have kept the V6 engine and change the weak transmission. I can't believe I had a 10 speed transmission in the Acura and only a 8 speed in the Lexus. It's so disappointing when you are merging into traffic on the highway and the Lexus acts like it cannot pick up speed. That is so disappointing.

I am a button kind of guy. I don't mind the big touchscreens but I want certain controls to be physical buttons. You didn't cover the steering wheel controls which are capacitive buttons with no markings. I saw reviews on it and it was terrible. You can only see the menus on the heads up display. This is a very disappointing for me because it can be distractive when you are driving. Also the fan and temperature controls are on the screen. What happens when the screen dies on you? I'm an engineer and some things are not thought about carefully. It just sounds like Lexus was trying to cut corners and save money. I still like the 2022 model overall. Physical buttons are nice to have and giving them on the touchscreen as an option is even better. I'm disappointed in Lexus about the new 2023 model.

I have been doing comparisons by images and I totally missed the gear shift being so large and the ugly amount of temp control buttons with CD player on the the 2022 model. It is a big / huge difference in my opinion between old style and new style. We have always purchased our Lexus vehicles about 2-3 years used (35,000 miles or under) but in this case, it is really hard to buy the older style with such dramatic improvements. One thing I really like you pointed out as well is the back has a continuous tail light bar across the back where the older model where it just has a chrome bar. This was a great video. Thank you.

Why is almost everyone going the route of putting all controls on the touch screen? People in their focus groups actually ask for that? Is that just with the upgraded 14" infotainment, or will that be on all trims/options?

[@deadhorsegaming4121]

Because it's cheaper. Physical switches and their wires cost more than putting it on screen.

[@rossacord9645]

@@deadhorsegaming4121 I hadn't thought about that. Makes sense. I just don't like the IoT taking over everything.

The only thing I don’t like about the new one is that it’s lower

[@siyifu7135]

The new ones look urly...the best lookings are 3rd generation AL10, 2008-2015.

[@JillLynnBeautyTherapy]

Actually prefer the 2022

I think the ‘23 front end looks clunky. I am a bit disappointed.

[@claudiusgordon4458]

Aesthetically they’re distinctively different not to mention engines

[@stevennatale4471]

EGHAD! The nose of the '23 is hideous! Why??? The rear end looks great.

[@john1240able]

That does not even look like RX anymore looks like small NX previous generation was the best.

Yup.

Ok, the new-gen RX comes in four favors (RX350, RX350h, RX450h+, and RX500h F Sport Performance), 3 RAV4s and 1 Lexus, the only available FWD model is the RX350, all others are AWD, seriously, we all knew the new-gen RX would share engines with the NX and RAV4, the RX350 or the RX500h F Sport Performance (note, it makes 367 hp / 406 tq) seems to be the two to get, the RX350h and RX450h+ will be interesting, that engine setup works fine in a compact CUV, but a midsize CUV (guess we will all find out), should I assume these will be the same engine for the upcoming TX as well, it's a nice new-gen, RX buyers will love it, kind of how Jeep Grand Cherokee buyers love their GCs, and the problem is that 2-row Jeep GC is nice as H___ and soon to have that new turbo 3.0 I6 Hurricane engine, the GC will continue to own the midsize 2-row SUV segment

[@naveenthemachine]

A grand Cherokee summit is way better than this dressed up camry suv

[@briangarner]

For the last 30 years you NEVER should have bought a new Lexus, they have always been like new even higher mileage(60-80K). With the new drivetrains? IDK We'll see. the 3.5 4.6/7 and the 5.7 were sooooooooooo good. Now you may have to buy new to have like new. I sure hope not.

[@chillgaming3197]

Prefer the angular cuts and boxy appearance on the side and back of the previous version. Also before it had more ground clearance.

[@watchingyoutalk6539]

I'm glad all of the chrome accents are gone.
