Update: ‘Lexus RX sales’ section updated and ‘nhanluchungvuong.edu.vn says’ section added. Bạn đang xem: When will the lexus rx 350 be redesigned for 2023?
It’s been over seven years since Lexus took covers off the third-gen RX at the new york International auto Show (NYIAS 2015). In November 2017, the company introduced a three-row RX L, và then, in May 2019, it lent the car a neat facelift. Now, a fully redesigned, fifth-gen, 2023 Lexus RX is replacing the 5-seat third-gen RX, elaborately discussed in this article.
Design
The 2023 Lexus RX has a recognizable thiết kế with some changes inspired by the latest NX. Image Source: ToyotaElsewhere, a blacked-out D pillar can be observed on the SUV along with a full-width horizontal LED taillamp. Above the LED bar, a slim gloss black strip houses bold Lexus lettering positioned on the center of the tailgate. The backglass looks slightly more raked, và that gives the redesigned model a sportier stance than its predecessor.
For the first time ever in an RX, customers will be able to select an F thể thao Performance grade that builds on the familiar F sport design package. The new grade gives the RX an even sportier and performance-focused styling. It features a mesh grille, 21-inch wheels, opposed six-piston brake calipers, F thể thao scuff plate, perforated leather-trimmed steering wheel with paddle shifters, suede-trimmed interior door trim, aluminum paddles, and more.
Colors
Lexus will offer the 2023 Lexus RX in the U.S. In ten colors:
Ultra WhiteEminent white PearlNebula Gray PearliridiumCaviarMatador Red MicaCopper CrestNori Green PearlNightfall MicaGrecian WaterInterior
On the inside, the Lexus RX has become a little more contemporary, with sleeker surfaces and a cảm biến of minimalism in some elements. The most welcome change in the cabin is the introduction of a 14-inch Lexus Interface touchscreen infotainment system. Customers will be able lớn choose six interior color options with four ornamentation styles as per the grade. Rioja Red, Macadamia, Pirch, Palomino, Black, và Peppercorn will be the colors and Dark Graphite Aluminum, Ash Bamboo, Black xuất hiện Pore, and Black Cascade will be the ornamentation styles.
The 2023 Lexus RX features a standard 7-inch digital instrument cluster and an optional 14-inch HD touchscreen infotainment system. Image Source: LexusPopular YouTuber Doug DeMuro seems pretty impressed with the 14-inch touchscreen infotainment system. He says that it’s “tremendously easy lớn use with smartphone-like responses và it’s intuitive.” However, he points out an interesting downside, that there’s no split-screen function. It’s a missed opportunity, especially seeing the large kích thước of the touchscreen. Also, when using the 360-degree camera system, the projected image on the touchscreen rotates on its own. The user can pause it or change its angle, but can’t go left, right, up, or down with touch input, which is strange.
Seats
CompleteCar.ie’s Dave Humphreys (via YouTube) says that the 2023 Lexus RX’s interior is luxurious, with a layout very similar to the latest NX. Lexus has used good quality materials & great seats in the all-new model. Humphreys also feels the rear seats offer a lot of space. Thanks to the extended wheelbase, there’s loads of knee room in the back. The rear seats come out quite far và offer good thigh support. The middle seat, even though typically firmer, is quite wide. Rear-seat passengers wouldn’t feel the sloping roofline compromising their space or visibility.
Platform
The fifth-gen Lexus RX rides on the GA-K platform that debuted in the Lexus ES. The new platform offers a low center of gravity và optimal weight distribution. Depending on the configuration, the redesigned SUV is as much as 198 pounds lighter than the outgoing generation, thanks khổng lồ material optimization in the main framework components of the chassis và the GA-K platform.
Ride comfort và quietness are better in the all-new model. Plus, the wheelbase is 2.36-inch longer, but as the rear overhang is 2.36-inch shorter, the overall length is the same as that of the fourth-gen mã sản phẩm (192.5 inches). Also new for the fifth generation is an all-new multi-link suspension at the rear.
The charging port of the 2023 Lexus RX 450h+ is on its right-side quarter panel. Lexus makes it out of resin instead of steel khổng lồ save weight. Image Source: LexusThe RX 450h+ has the same plug-in hybrid system as the NX 450h+. It’s a combination of a 2.5-liter engine và two electric motors — one mounted at the front and one driving the rear wheels — that results in 227 kW (304 hp) of total power.
The engine produces 182 hp và 227 Nm (167 lb.-ft.) of torque. The front motor generates 134 kW (180 hp) and 270 Nm (199 lb.-ft.) of torque, while the rear motor that enables E-Four full-time AWD develops 40 kW (54 hp) and 121 Nm (89 lb.-ft.) of torque. Lexus is targeting a 0-62 mph acceleration time of 6.5 seconds & a vị trí cao nhất speed of 124 mph for the RX 450h+.
An 18.1 kWh lithium-ion battery pack powers the electric motors. Lexus expects the RX 450h+ to be able lớn travel more than 40 miles & achieve a đứng top speed of 80 mph in EV mode. When the charging depletes, the RX 450h+’s powertrain defaults khổng lồ hybrid mode. Lexus has fitted the RX 450h+ with a 6.6 kW on-board charger. Fully charging the 18.1 kWh lithium-ion battery pack takes about 2 hours 45 minutes. All the performance and efficiency figures of the RX 450h+ mentioned in the story apply to the European units. Lexus will reveal the details of the US-spec RX 450h+ later.
The 2023 Lexus RX 450h+ should be able to lớn accelerate from 0 lớn 62 mph in 6.5 seconds. Image Source: LexusThe RX500h’s 2.4-liter turbocharged gasoline engine works with a 6-speed automatic transmission, an inverter, & an electric motor. An eAxle unit integrates a second electric motor, inverter, and reduction gearbox. The second motor powers the rear, wheels effectively making the RX500h an AWD SUV. The 2023 RX is the first Lexus equipped with a high-output electric motor & an e-axle at the rear.
The turbocharged gasoline engine of the RX500h produces 367 horsepower and 406 lb.-ft. Of torque. Jack Hollis, Senior Vice President – Automotive Operations Group, Toyota Motor North America, made an interesting note during the announcement of the RX500h, that the torque đầu ra surpasses that of even the Lexus LFA. Accelerating from 0 to lớn 60 mph in the range-topping performance variant takes just 5.9 seconds. Lexus is estimating a combined fuel economy of 26 MPG in this configuration.
The RX500h delivers faster acceleration và more evenly distributed torque for more nguồn on demand, whether you’re running errands on the freeway or driving a scenic mountain road. It also adopts the same DIRECT4 all-wheel drive công nghệ that we talked about earlier on the RZ that integrates the drive & brake force control that can only be found with Lexus Driving Signature.
