2023 Lexus RX First Drive Review: Bold colors, three hybrids, irksome tech
+ can go 37 miles with the same battery, so something in that ballpark seems likely. Although it will be available later than the other RX models, we got a chance to take a short 15-minute drive where we discovered it pretty much drives like the NX 450h+ and closely related. Accelerating in EV-only mode is smooth and rewarding in its ability to drive without burning fossil fuels, but is ultimately gutless as there’s just not enough available on the upper end of the power band.
The electrified all-wheel-drive system is just as new. Although the RX 500h also relies on a separate electric motor to solely power the rear axle without a mechanical connection to the powertrain up front, it isn’t just a reactive system that only engages when the front wheels need a hand.
At least it’s quicker than the surprisingly sluggish RX 350, which hits 60 mph in either 7.6 seconds with FWD or 7.2 with AWD. It produces a commendable 275 hp and 317 lb-ft of torque from its 2.4-liter turbocharged inline-four, and is actually about a half-second quicker than the old 3.5-liter V6 , but those are still compact non-luxury SUV acceleration times. Shouldn’t ago beyond “sufficient”? All the more reason to go with one of the hybrids, then.
