If you want the most performance from the 2023 Lexus RX line, head to this one with an extremely long name.
, but in the meantime, know that the other benefit of the system—perhaps when driven at more sane speeds—is the way the automaker says it minimizes body motions.we noticed with the Lexus NX, a smaller SUV that rides on the same platform. Unlike the RX350h that uses a CVT and the RX350 that gets an eight-speed automatic, the RX500h sticks with a six-speed auto to keep weight and size in check, Lexus says.
In the RX500h's version of rear-steer tech, this means the rear wheels can turn up to 4 degrees in the same direction as the fronts or in the opposite direction depending on speed. For example, turn onto your street at city speeds, and the rears may turn in the opposite direction as the fronts to make the SUV feel a little bit nimbler. Having driven a number of different RXs on the same day and on the same roads, we detected a subtle, positive difference with the rear-steer system.
With the RX500h's nearly natural-feeling brakes, you don't even need to care that it's a hybrid. Just appreciate its added power without any fuel economy sacrifice when matched against the RX350. If you've ever wanted more excitement from your midsize luxury SUV without going full RS, AMG, or M, try the RX500h.
