Electrification is a pillar of Lexus's “next chapter.” The fifth-generation Lexus RX progresses this objective, offering four new powertrains including a high-performance hybrid and the company's first-ever plug-in hybrid (PHEV) - though the latter is not available in the U.S. at launch.

Other “foundational elements” include bold design, intuitive technology and Lexus driving signature. Experienced first-hand by SAE Media on the hilly, twisty terrain north and west of Santa Barbara, the 2023 RX, which rides on the lighter, stiffer GA-K platform that also underpins the smaller Lexus NX, hits on all marks.
