Dislikes
  • Lesser powertrains can feel exactly that
  • "Polarising" exterior design could be exactly that
  • Do we still need a petrol-only powertrain?

  • Noisy hybrid powertrain
  • Missing some standard gear
  • Firm ride
2023 Lexus RX350 Summary

This is a BIG moment for the Lexus RX in Australia. And I'm not just referring to the spindle grille that adorns the front-end of this all-new model (though it too is almost commercially massive).

I'm talking more about the vehicle itself, and its importance to the Lexus brand here. The RX is one of Lexus' best sellers in Australia, and so this new one – which welcomes a new platform, new powertrain options and an all-new F Sport Performance trim level – is a big deal.

So, does it live up to the hype (and to its German competition)? Join me as we figure all that out ahead of the RX's debut here in early 2023.

2024 Lexus RX350H Summary

The Lexus RX holds broad appeal. Families with a bit of money that don’t need a third seating row, older people who love the brand and want a bit of space, and people stepping up into the premium marque from a mainstream brand are all potential buyers. 

The fifth-generation version that launched in early 2023 proved to be a significant step up over the previous RX.

Lexus made it more dynamically capable, and there’s been a sharpened focus on refinement, value-for-money and safety credentials. 

We spent three weeks getting to know the most affordable RX - the entry-grade Lexus RX350h Luxury two-wheel drive - to see whether it’s worth putting it at the top of your premium family SUV shopping list.
