May 23 2023,
The 2023 Lexus RX, a completely redesigned model, now embodies a premium SUV experience that pushes the boundaries of luxury, elegance, and performance. The fifth-generation RX is enhanced with innovative features that combine comfort, style, and state-of-the-art technology for a truly elevated driving experience.
Revolutionary Powertrains
This year, the Lexus RX makes a splash with three distinct powertrain options, including the debut of the first-ever RX 500h. The RX 350 AWD employs a responsive 2.4L turbocharged inline 4-cylinder engine that produces 275 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque, offering dynamic driving performance.
The RX 350h AWD showcases a fourth-generation self-charging hybrid electric system, delivering 246 horsepower and 233 lb-ft of torque. This advanced hybrid powertrain illustrates Lexus' industry-leading Hybrid Drive technology's capabilities and commitment to sustainable mobility.
Moreover, the RX 500h AWD is the first of its kind, introducing a new hybrid electric system that delivers 366 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. This system combines a high-torque turbo engine with an electric motor, providing powerful acceleration and improved performance.
Advanced Multimedia and Safety Systems
In addition to a refined driving experience, the 2023 RX incorporates the all-new Lexus Interface multimedia system and the Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 in all models. The Lexus Interface, designed in North America, allows for a voice-first approach to navigation, media, and communication.
The Lexus Safety System+ 3.0, a comprehensive suite of active safety technologies, supports the driver in various traffic conditions. This includes features such as Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection and Motorcycle Detection, All-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with new Curve Speed Management, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, and Emergency Driving Stop System.
Unmatched Craftsmanship, Built in Canada
Assembled at the world-renowned Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada in Cambridge, Ontario, the fifth-generation RX showcases Lexus' mastery of craftsmanship. The redesigned body design brings a new dimension of style, while the intentional, human-centric cabin design offers a rewarding experience for the driver.
Martin Gilbert, Director of Lexus Canada, expresses great pride in this new model, stating, "Lexus defined the luxury crossover when we released our first RX in 1998 – and, with the fifth-generation model, we redefine it yet again."
With the all-new 2023 Lexus RX, the brand continues its legacy of providing a premium SUV experience, blending innovative design, engineering, and construction to redefine the luxury crossover market.
