Similar to the smaller redesigned NX, the 2023 redesigned RX will offer four new powertrains which use turbocharging, hybridization, or employ both technologies.
Three of the engines will be available at launch, with a plug-in hybrid version arriving at a later date.
A 275-hp, 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine replaced the V6.
It's mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Two hybrid versions are available: a 246-hp, 2.5-liter four-cylinder hybrid is mated to a continuously variable transmission, and a 367-hp, 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder hybrid with a six-speed-automatic transmission.
The infotainment system uses touchscreen-based controls for nearly every audio, climate, and navigation feature.
There are some hard controls.
The RX features the Lexus Safety System+ 3.0, which brings a generous roster of active safety and driver assistance features including FCW, AEB with pedestrian and cyclist detection, and a number of new capabilities.
