Reviews SummarySince the redesigned 2023 Lexus RX mid-size crossover went on sale toward the end of 2022, the automaker has filled out its electrified line-up with three hybrid models: the RX 350h, RX 450h+ PHEV, and the RX 500h F Sport Performance. Based on time spent driving two of these three new 2023 Lexus RX Hybrid models, we expect them to at least double, if not triple, the previous-generation RX 450h’s share of sales. | |
Reviews SummaryCars are falling out of favour in North America, let alone luxury models that emphasize quiet comfort instead of raucous performance. The 2022 Lexus ES sedan, however, soldiers on. This year, Lexus gives the ES a nip and a tuck, adding new grille, wheel, and bi-LED headlamp designs along with a couple of new paint colours. More significantly, the ES adds a touchscreen infotainment display and next-generation Lexus Safety System+ 2.5 driving assistance and collision avoidance technology. | |
