Behind the Wheel: 2023 Lexus RX 500H
2023 is a very exciting year for the Lexus RX. Kicking off the fifth generation of this popular luxury SUV. With a whole new look inside and out. While the other models are very good, the RX 500h F Sport is the performance-oriented version of the redesigned RX that’s most primed to quicken your pulse. With a hybrid system working with the turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, churning out an impressive 366 hp of total system output. This is undoubtedly the most fun the Lexus RX has ever been.
Impressive acceleration isn’t the only performance difference. A rigid chassis and revised Adaptive Variable Suspension with a DIRECT4 all-wheel drive system delivers tight handling that will have you double checking if it isn’t the sporty Lexus RC you’re driving instead of the RX. As good as the countless changes they’ve made are, both inside and out, it’s the addition of the ultra unique Copper Crest color that will draw long, appreciative stares more than anything else.
Also available in White, Iridium, Pearl Grey, and Caviar Black, the Copper Crest is unlike anything you’ve likely seen on the road. Having initially debuted in 2018 on the coveted LF-1 Limitless crossover concept, it’s an exciting development to have access to the sometimes rose gold, occasionally orange, and often metallic copper color. All dependent heavily on the amounts of natural sunlight.
Though certainly not for everyone, if you’ve absolutely fallen in love with the new Lexus RX in Copper Crest, it’s only available in the Premium + and 500h F Sport models.
RX 500h F Sport Starts at: $62,750.00
