The 2023 Lexus RX 500h F-Sport Performance Is An Intricate & Sporty Hybrid Luxury SUV

With just under 100,000 total units sold in the US in 2022, the #LexusRX is the best-selling #Lexus vehicle in America. For 2023, the Lexus #RX500hFSport takes the top speed in the lineup, combining a turbocharged 2.4L engine with 2-electric motors, including a powerful eAxle at the rear. The result is the quickest and sportiest version ever and its one that should appeal to driving enthusiasts.

While the new Lexus RX500h F-Sport Performance is no competitor to a BMW X5 M, this model finally has enough grunt to have it compete with cars like the X5 xDrive40i or an Acura MDX Type S. Do you guys think this model has enough power or should Lexus have made this a plug-in hybrid?

I still don't understand how Tesla is considered luxury. They are nothing of the sort. None of their vehicles are luxury in terms of build materials, quality control, luxury features etc...

Was in for service today and sat in the RX500, really really nice. The Lexus feeling of quality is there, , but I wish it had a turbo V6. If you don't care about that, this is a massive upgrade over the previous generation.

Remote start IS on all Lexus fobs going back to 2018, but not a dedicated button. You have to press lock 3 times, then hold the third time until it starts

You posted this video! Omg I've been waiting!

I am in the process of a manufacturer buy back. I purchased a RX 500h F Sport in March. I live in Va and had to go to Philadelphia to get this car. I drove it back, no problems.... Three days later it started throwing codes about hybrid malfunctions. Took it to the local dealer, they had it for 3 days and said they said they called Lexus and they couldn't find the issue. They cleared it and returned to me. 12 days later, I was driving down I-95, the car lost ALOT of power, and it threw 6 different codes. I pulled off to then side of the highway got it towed to the same dealership.... 4 days later I got a TEXT telling me the car needed a completely new transmission. I filed a lemon dispute on the car. Lexus just agreed to buy back the car and will replace with a new one. Its been a nightmare. A $75k nightmare!!

We do have remote start from the key fob. Click the lock button three times. However at the third click, hold the lock button down…the engine will start.

This man has made me obsessed with dashboard's since his first YouTube channel you will know what I'm talking about OGS.

We traded in a 2010 RX 450h to get a 2019 RX 350. Probably won't keep it long because my wife misses the AWD and extra power. But the 2010 wasn't going to last much longer and the 350 is what was available. I can see us getting this new 500h in the next few years.

Finally, Lexus gives customers what they have been begging for!
It took them a long time, but it is a toyota.
They make something reliable & worth its price!
You don't see Mercedes/tesla/audi, etc, on the road.
It's after vaule will always be greater.
Of course you don't buy for speed or excitement.
You buy it based on a lifetime experience.

I wanted to express my thanks and appreciation for your channel. Your videos on the 2023 Lexus RX 500h helped me make an informed decision about purchasing this SUV. I also enjoy watching your reviews on other vehicles.

This RX is absolutely gorgeous. Lexus is about to rule the world of luxury cars. I’m not surprised, it’s now the best selling luxury brand beating Benz and BMW in sales. Truly the Putsuit of Perfection 🙌🏼

Just Traded in my 2013 RX450h to get a 2019 RX450h because I didn’t want to give up the smooth V6 for a turbo 4 with premium gas required. I don’t need a few seconds faster or a new car that’s smaller and built in North America so I’m good for the next 10 years.

I would definitely consider those full digital guages albeit smaller than some but it looks more sporty to me and all the info you need is there plus a HUD. 👌🏽

Had the pleasure of teat driving the RX500h direct 4 today in Newfoundland as the journalist is taking it on a cross tour. What a fabulous vehicle very impressive

[MercOne]

I don't understand why you need a so many 4-cylinder versions and not a single V6 to be found. They have an excellent turbo V6 in the LS and LX and it would have been great here in the top of the line "500" model.

[charmingcharlie]

@redline reviews - The remote start is usually when you push the lock button 3 times and on the 3rd time hold it down. Thats for Lexus and Toyota products.

[ganzonomy]

I would have rather seen a normal 6. They're more reliable in the long run, less e-waste, and more cylinders are always smoother, all other variables the same.

I bought an 2023 500 Sport and within two months of driving it with 1319 miles on it it ended up back at Eskridge Lexus needing a new transmission and computer. NEVER NEVER buy a first generation car no matter who the manufacturer is! Eskridge Lexus has not at this point done anything but tell me I can trade it in as a used car. I have called Lexus direct and hoping that they will force the dealer to do the right thing. This was at that time the third car having this issue. I'm sure Lexus will figure it out and fix the problem but for those of us who spent a lot of money on a car we could drive for years and enjoy it's beyond a disappointment.
