2023 Lexus RX500h Review: Hybrid to the MAX
Redesigning a huge-selling model is not a task to be taken lightly; you need to modernize but also keep fans happy. Those folks may have liked a lot of aspects of the old model and don’t want them changed too drastically.
Things are much better for this iteration. First of all, Lexus has moved the A pillars back so the hood appears longer, making the car look more squat and athletic. Add the great black wheels and wing mirrors on my tester – plus contrasting silver paint – and you have a look that’s more like the old Infiniti FX/QX70, that is to say an SUV that looks more like a tall wagon.
As far as the “Hey, Lexus” voice activation system story goes, the Lexus folks at the launch relayed a story where they’d asked for a document listing all the commands you could do, to be told that the document would stretch to almost 50 pages. Basically, there’s a lot it can do, from finding the nearest Arby’s, to finding the nearest gas station and so on.

Unfortunately, the steering doesn’t have quite the same effect. Even in Sport mode – which does, allegedly, firm up the steering – I never quite got a great idea of what was going on beneath the front wheels, and the resistance was still too light for my liking.
