Is the 2023 Lexus RX 500h F Sport a BETTER performance SUV than a Genesis GV80?

The RX is redesigned and Lexus raised the bar with the 500h F Sport Performance for 2023. On the outside you will discover a new spindle body design, 21in wheels, and unique color. On the inside there is a 14in infotainment system, leather sport seating and panoramic sunroof. Under the hood is a 2.4L turbocharged inline-4 paired with (2) electric motors to produce 366HP & mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission.

I have had my 500h since end of Feb and zero regrets. Note you can program button on steering wheel to change drive modes and stupidly not a default. I have the caviar with red interior, mud flaps option, and optional wheels that look more like tuning forks. Love it.

Lexus hit a homerun with the RX with F Sport this color is so beautiful no black cladding around the wheels thank you Lexus and the interior is amazing thank you Joe and Steven for this video!

Toyota/Lexus has been adding hybrids across their line. They are getting serious flak from some of the press about how slowly they are adding pure EV, but I expect they will have the best year in their history in 2024, as their products are well made, and serve the customer well. Not everyone is set up to charge an EV, and long distance travel is not as convenient in an EV. So this product should sell well. We are so early in the EV transition that the price of energy is not posted visibly outside charging stations, and here in CA, where energy prices are fairly high (night time charging is 19 cents/Kwhr), some of the charging stations charge 45 cents/Kwhr, which is a ripoff.

Finally a back seat that doesn't forget about the rear passengers.

Super excellent machine. I had 2021 GX460 which was heavy on gas so last sept after test drive this RX500h, i just love this. Its performance with power and luxury. Excellent gas mileage and very smooth shifting. Its a big difference from a CVT transmission to this 6 speed. Again its better than my brothers Mercedes. I have taken down lots of v8 on traffic lights. Highly recommend this RX500h.

I really like the exterior design of this; it's beautiful. I would've loved to see proper exhaust tips.

Lexus continues to impress with the newest evolution of their RX brand. This one is just beautiful!

My wife chose and today ordered this exact vehicle. Copper Crest 2024 RX500 F-Sport, Loaded. She’s not at all aggressive in driving, but this model just did it for her in style and driving dynamics with real wheel turning angle boost, the Hybrid Max set gitty- up. She is a Luxury hybrid vehicle driver, and this model has that….and a sporty edge for surprise. Lexus did a nice job blending Luxury, Performance, and a Quality product in one nice package.

I’ve had two Lexus and both had great performance. Toyota makes a great product.

[omarcortes]

Lexus did a great job with this. Sporty, luxury and that color looks very unique.

Went to buy one at our local Lexus dealer. He slid a paper with a $15k market adjustment at the end of signing the paperwork. ZONK! We walked and bought a 2023 Acura Type-S. Agree with the need for exhaust tips .

I LOVE Lexus RX, almost everything about it! One thing they can improve on is the tire width, 235 is too narrow for the SUV this size. I'd at least expect 245, but would like 255-265s. Look at your competition. BMW and Mercedes have nice and wide tires that adds so much to their look.
