The popular midsize luxury crossover sticks with convention and adds a surprising performance option. And we barely miss the V6.
The RX 500h F Sport Performance AWD powerplant makes 366 total system horsepower, with a 271-hp 2.4-liter turbo-four in front and a six-speed automatic with an integrated Power Control Unit and electric motor, while an 80-kW eAxle drives the rear wheels.The king of all RXs is the 500h F Sport Performance AWD, but even that produces “only” 366 total system horsepower, with a 271-hp 2.
There is also Dynamic Rear Steering for stability in high-speed turns and maneuverability in parking.competes with the BMW X5, but it falls somewhat short of that vaunted Bavarian marque in both handling and power. The X5 starts with a 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six and goes all the way up to a 4.4-liter “TwinPower Turbo” V8, not to mention its chassis sophistication.But Lexus buyers are looking more for comfort and convenience than performance, and the new RX offers plenty of that.
Optional Traffic Jam Assist can take over driving duties in slow-speed crawling traffic, handling acceleration and braking as well as offering “hands-free driving assist,” according to Lexus. I did not get a chance to try this out because we were way out in the country and there was no traffic. Perhaps later?
Prices have not been released yet but will certainly fall well below competitors like the BMW X5. The current 2022 model ranges from roughly $47,000 to $54,000. X5s start in the low $60,000 range, while Tesla Model Y pricing begins at $67,990.The Lexus RX remains one of the most popular midsize luxury crossovers. Is it on your shopping list?
