2023 Lexus RX 500h
Lexus was one of the pioneers of the luxury crossover segment launching the first RX back in the late 1990s. It’s doing something new once again with the fifth generation offering for the first time an F SPORT 500h model, slated to arrive at the end of the year.
The vehicle introduces a fresh hybrid electric setup comprised of a 2.4-litre turbocharged engine, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, and a high-output electric motor mounted at the rear axle, sending a combined 367 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque to all four wheels via a Direct4 all-wheel drive system.
Built on Toyota’s GA-K architecture shared with the NX and others, the longer wheelbase provides more rear-seat room while overall length remains the same as the outgoing version. The RX also showcases an evolved form of the Lexus signature spindle grille.
