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

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.
How much mpg are you averaging?
It's a beautiful vehicle
Thanks for that great intel
@@Belicoenlosangelesjsjrnot very well with all the on throttle.
@@wadehiggins1114I am so glad that you like this one
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.
Who told you that?! With the EV'S they can go up to 350-600 miles on a single charge depending on what battery capacity you buy
@@HOVA2195Only with a Hummer EV maybe. All the rest are 200-300s mile range.
What Lexus needs are more plugin hybrids. That’s the sweet spot currently until the charging network is built out.
Hybrids are much more convenient. Fill up gas once in a while and drive forever before needing to fill up again. 😂
Charging is a pita. Filling gas takes a couple minutes and takes forever to run out.
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!
I’m so glad that you really enjoyed this one!
Great review Joe as usual. You are the King of reviewers. Just bought one of these in black as I was struggling to get in and out of my LC 500. It really is a great car. Pity they are so expensive in UK. We pay in pounds what you guys pay in dollars.
Lexus continues to impress with the newest evolution of their RX brand. This one is just beautiful!
They messed up on the TX grille
@@wadehiggins1114 they legit made it look like a highlander. nothing about it says lexus. it's absurd
@@wadehiggins1114- lexus people being unreasonable
No. The RX isn’t a luxury car. It’s a rav4 xL with lipstick. That’s not luxury
@@naveenthemachine no, it's not that bad!
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.
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.
Finally a back seat that doesn't forget about the rear passengers.
I’ve had two Lexus and both had great performance. Toyota makes a great product.
I really like the exterior design of this; it's beautiful. I would've loved to see proper exhaust tips.
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 .
Lol
TLX?
@JohnnyUtah9173 probably MDX.
$15k? Only Americans will pay that for a Toyota.
Lexus did a great job with this. Sporty, luxury and that color looks very unique.
@brianeugenelee 🙄🙄🙄
@brianeugeneleebet youre the type of guy to say volkswagon and audi are like two completely different companies
Love this vehicle esp in black! Also, congrats on your 1 mil subscribers!
Thank you fir taking the time to say that
This car looks amazing it’s so cool! I like the outside it’s magnificent!
That is great that you are loving this one
@@RaitisRides 😊
What happened to the Chevy Silverado RST EV video? It got removed?
The embargo wasn’t lifted or something like that so that’s why the video went down. Early upload
I will have it for you Monday morning
@@RaitisRides Awesome. I'm looking forward to watching it again, it was a great review.
Gorgeous.. it's a Lexus. Can't expect anything less.
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.
I just bought one and it is a great car. Takes a while to learn it though. I bought the total package. Everything you can buy and it came out to $84,000.
Thanks for sharing your great ownership experience! Congrats!
Not a bad price considering you have very “reliable” luxury vehicle which is not the case with other luxury brands. I am going to upgrade my NX 300 for this beauty. Enjoy your ride!
They probably gave you Over sticker some dealers were ask 20 over sticker
Joe this RX500h is at the top of my list for my next vehicle and you did a fantastic job showcasing it today. The only thing you did not confirm was whether there is an actual spare tire under that rear trunk floor!
Also, Lexus has been hiding their exhaust pipes as we move forward to a hybrid/electric future so that these cars will blend more seamlessly.
Thank you for letting me bring it to you!
All except the po, po.
There is a real spare
Now my SUV to buy!
I like way green you think
This is one of the best rx 500h i have been, total diffrent ride ,thanks for showing again J&L
🇺🇸 *LOVE this copper color Lexus RX 500h F Sport* !! *Wish it had MORE real buttons on the dash* !! *Priced a little on the high side* !! *Do prefer this Lexus over any Genesis* !! *GREAT content Joe and Steven* !! #RaitisRides 🇺🇸
I'd rather take a pre-owned Lexus than a brand new genesis
Everyone has their favorites
@@RaitisRides agreed
Exactly. So many Hyundai brand engines aren’t reliable. And Lexus build quality is always up there.
Just picked up iridium and black interior! Congratulations! Joe for 1M subscribers.
Love the color. Love the video.
Thank you so much!
Great review as usual from Joe ! Just purchased a White RX 500h F and love it ! 27:44
That is so fantastic to hear!
I like it ! That color is awesome with the black wheels. Don’t like the door latches on interior
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one
So pumped!! LETS GO! Can’t wait for the next video!
Thanks for being so excited!
What happened to the Silverado EV RST video from yesterday? Was looking forward to it
It will be going back up on Monday
@@RaitisRides awesome! Looking forward to it!
75K? No way. 46.2 cu ft of cargo space is nothing for a mid size SUV. Those are sub compact numbers. Tires should be 255's for a vehicle this size and weight. BMW X5 for me!
I'm on my 3rd Lexus, first RX 450H- I've had ZERO issues with (any) of my cars. Love Lexus, and I'd say this is the better option over the Genesis.
Car prices are getting out reach for the average joe
When I spec out the RX 500 H online it doesn’t give me the option to choose both the Mark lemons and 21 speaker set up with the 14 inch infotainment screen. I have to pick one and the other can’t get added.
That’s really weird for sure
Love this color, it's glorious.
@2:09 Water inside the light housing already??
Awesome joe .
You are so very welcome
this one accelerate so fast and you can feel your back against the car seat. The power steering is so light and easy to make a U turn. Everything is amazing. No complain about the non V6 engine for this new generation
I love this Lexus RX 500h F Sport Performance I think Lexus did a good good job and you know you're doing good when you driving a Lucury performance SUV by the Apostle the SUV's Lexus.
That’s an excellent point Luis!
@@RaitisRides Thank you.
Toyota lexus another level 👍🏽
You are so very right about that!
Toyota Lexus another level!?

I love it Joe and Lori and keep up the good work and I love the video 👍
You are the man Dominick
The color is something else for sure, bold! However, I'm still waiting for the day Joe looks over at the door panel and is so gobsmacked he falls out of the seat. Great Episode men!!!
Hey Joe! Great review. I had another idea for one more merchandise shirt slogan.
" The proof is in the revving of the engine!"
Unique color!!
That is so very true
What a head turner. I saw this earlier today. I look twice because its front fascia is so weird.
I love the new RX I see alot of them on the road already
Because those buyers are suckers who don’t have a clue as to what real luxury is
@@naveenthemachinenaveen continuing his clown arc
*This might be my favorite review to date for one simple reason panoramic roof open all the way* 🤝💪
Talking about colors!! Damme lexus😮
daaym! Lexus design 👍🏻 😍
Joe, I test drove this exact car in this exact colour! my classmate in my MBA program is the Sales Manager at Lexus
What blew me away was the adaptive cruise - as soon as the car in front takes off from a stop itn picks up like roller coaster
Combined with Brake Hold it would make commuting a lot easier!
That is so awesome!
You know that lots of Toyotas offer this too right? Those same things you experienced come standard on a corolla
You need an MBA to be equal with a sales manager at a car dealership? LOL
@@markspence3750obviously the sales manager job is temporary until he can find a better position once he gets his degree
@@markspence3750 it's temporary we're both students
Really beautiful car! I’d love to be driving one!
I love this suv it would definitely be my choice I drove one and it felt more like I was driving a car than an suv I’d want a different color but I don’t hate it in the color it was shown in but I used to be a Mercedes Benz man and since then I’ve had a few Lexus that I’ve loved so much better … I now think I’d rather have a Lexus than a Benz I definitely think Lexus knows what they’re doing with hybrids Great video great photography and camera works thank you both so much Ratitis rides is the best in this business keep up the great works you’ll be to 2 million before you know it
What performance tires do you recommend for rh500h ?
Raiti’s Rides Saturdays, best type of Saturdays
If I clicked on this video any faster I’d have a jammed thumb😊
You are awesome! Thanks for be no so supportive!
😂😂😂
Joe, would you say the RX 500h is better than the MDX Type S Advance?
YES!
@@wadehiggins1114 I don’t know… The MDX Type S advanced has the air suspension, the 3rd row and the 25 speaker audio system. And available BLUE leather interior
No I would not
@@BigBadRivi Even though I'm an employee at Audi, I stand behind the Lexus brand.
No. MDX is far superior to this rav4
Looks like a real winner. Especially if it's your only car. It certainly does a lot well.But we have 3 cars in our home fleet. $75k is too much, unless it was my only driver. Then I'd get it yesterday. But man, it's a beauty!
Lexus did a wonderful job with this SUV...
I could agree with you
No they didn’t 😂. They badly screwed this up. As they did with just about every new model (except the lc500)
@@naveenthemachinebro thinks his 2013 honda jazz is better than this beast
@@8xus_1 he has a Camry that daddy bought for him 💀
@@mattmekhaeil nah that 2013 opel corsa be looking dull rn
The excessive brake nose dive made me a bit nauseous, but the almost too oversized dead pedal is a welcomed surprise. The long name deceives it’s true performance capabilities, nonetheless, the RX is still the original gangster.
It's kind of a moot point, neither the RX 500h or GV80 are real performance SUVs. I'll take the GV80 due to the V6 and exterior. Though both look great. The RX has to be selling like hotcakes, it's everywhere on the roads now.
Thanks got your thoughts on this one
#1 in its class!
@@jaydenp.6243 In sales. That’s it.
@@MercOne Reliability, Dependability, Fuel efficiency, oh and it doesn't catch on fire or get recalled very 3-6 months. I can't say the same about Hyundai /Kia/Genesis products.
@@jaydenp.6243 Yeah pretty lame stuff really. I seriously doubt Genesis models are catching fire. Haven’t seen that. Try again.
Lexus is the best 🔥
I’m so glad that you think so
No they’re not. Genesis Acura Germans Lincoln are the best. Lexus is the worst. Just as bad as infiniti
@@naveenthemachine You really said Acura and Genesis 😂 that cheap material in a Acura. And what about those Hyundais that are blowing up oh okay.
@@jeremyr498 those brands I said are better luxury brands than Lexus. That’s a fact. Those brands offer design, interior materials, better fit/finish, tech, luxury, performance handling comfort are all better
The RX is nothing but a dressed up rav4 xL. And Lexus is nothing more than a Toyota+ just like infiniti is now Nissan+
@@naveenthemachinebasically those brands are known as “bum cars” as I’ve driven them all I can say the Lexus is the clear winner, you should probably see if you can get a diagnosis on your autism.
Just beautiful
I’m so glad that you like this one
I’m so glad that you are loving this one
WE BACK AT IT! LETS GO!
That color always looks better on video than it does in person. We bought the caviar one.
Hey Joe l love the color however I prefer the GX 550 I think its called that I believe the SUV is not available to the public until 2024 I believe, good review on the SUV though.
I love mine.. had for 10 months. super quiet, drives super nice, slick... its like driving a stick of butter down the road. stereo CRANKS... blows you away. I dont care about the sport aspect, its quick, and I leave in eco all the time.
Is it a new for 2023 color ?
Hey joe do u know if these 500h's are tuneable somehow to get high 4's, low 5's from stop to 60 mph??
Does this RX500 come with a spare tire Joe ?
Yeah, the RX lines are come with spare tire. The NX doesn't come with spare tire.
Boy u can bring back some memories..i had all the He-Man actuon figures but as me being a wrestling fan i played wrestling with them from age 8 to 14.. we shud have been friends Joe..but anyways back on topic..nice truck but if i had a choice it wud be the Genesis G80....Great review as always ..love brah
Love the car, but 75k??? Jeezus! Thats even more expensive than a GX.
Nothing is cheap anymore
It’s the color for me ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I absolutely love the new design, so sporty yet classy! These are top 5 for me to test drive next year when my lease is up on my Sante Fe! Love my Sante Fe Calligraphy, but I still gotta see what's new and improved out there! Great work as usual Joe!
1st time all week there wasn't a Zoink on a foot rest.
So, what's faster...Rav 4 prime or this RX500?
How does this compare to an Acura MDX Type S?
Nice video keep up the good work Joe
I just saw one for the first time parked at my work in the same color and had to look it up. Really nice looking car
Joe what happened to the review from yesterday,it was removed.
Hi joe, I remember I watch one of your video about this Lexus Rx 500h f sport in white color when it first came out, you was mentioned that the back seat’s middle arm rest was not that solf enough and I still remember that until now I see you review in this nice performance again, great review joe 👏👍
Love this one but my sons are 6’6” I’m afraid they won’t fit. I’m waiting on the GX order bank to open. So appreciate all your reviews.
Damn, they are tall!!!!
Love this car and long time subscriber of Raiti's Rides! hit like for He-Man action figures! 😀
Thanks fir being in the journey with us
Wicked color!
Can i get a tow bracket in my rear of car ?
I like the Lexus Shark nose design
RX 300 lead the path for the MB ML, Acura MDX, X5 etc…and the Genesis is the perfect comparison 👍🏻
Where is Silverado ev review it's didn't show up on your channel
It will be up on Monday @ 9am et
If only they offered the lexus rx with 7 passengers like the highlander but I get it. They want to buy take sakes away and the roofline is a lot smaller in the back due to the sleek design. Other than that I absolutely am loving the new design!
They want you to go with the new TX
@RaitisRides haven't heard of that I'll check it out! Thanks raiti
The TX is such a disappointment and it’s not even out yet
I believe this model comes with another roe of seats as well
@@naveenthemachine dang is it an all electric or is it like the lexus version of the Toyota grand highlander?
what's colour this
Great rewiew Joe...but for 75K im gonna go Acura MDX Type-S.
Was it really 75k? Must have included all options including cargo net etc.
@@dwyne2 Yep at 8:46 gives price.
LCD controls means no under warranty wearing out of knobs, switches and buttons.
At 7:42 we can hear wind noise Dont lie
4 cylinder is unacceptable
Price of things are getting higher. 75,000 for this 😢.

Anyone with 2023 RX350 suede trim on the IP passenger side clips detaching?
I took delivery of my RX350 luxury copper crest with palomino interior and three days later I saw the trim panel detached almost 75%. I reported the issue and took the vehicle back to dealership. The technician told me that Lexus said it’s a common issue and that they will get back with me. I am still waiting for that glorious day that they will either call me or send me an email about fixing the defect. This is a $70k vehicle and I can’t believe this is happening. Recently, I started seeing paint chipping off on the hood. I am highly disappointed in the quality. I know Lexus high quality standard but boy oh boy, they need to review the quality standards of Canadian built Lexus vehicles.
Oh wow that is crazy
So much for Lexus build quality 😆
Go to a diffrent dealer. This was being addressed when I was considering the RX. Got the NX instead. Make sure to "force" a response from them. Not all dealers are the same.
@@naveenthemachine typical nave...RX sells the best of all the luxury vehicles. Whether o not you want to agree. Lexus is still far more reliable than any of the Germans or Koreans.
@@jaydenp.6243 “This was been addressed” You mean you’re aware of such quality defect when you were shopping for RX but settled for NX instead? If so, I would say that’s a smart move on your end. The worst thing about the issue is when the vehicle is parked and temperature on the inside rises due to trapped hot air, the trim sagging is so worse that you’re literally looking at the IP frame and all the stuff you’re not supposed to see. It’s compote shame and disappointment.
Isn't the mercedes ML the first luxury SUV that came out in the USA? It was about a year before the Lexus RX was announced in the US.
