Used 2023 Lexus RX 500h SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2023 Lexus RX 500h has a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine (366 horsepower, 406 lb-ft torque), a six-speed automatic transmission, and a dual-motor hybrid system with a Lexus Direct4 all-wheel-drive system.

Additionally, this model has a sport-tuned adaptive suspension, upgraded brakes, and a dynamic rear-wheel steering system that turns the rear wheels to a small degree to improve low-speed maneuverability or high-speed stability and handling. A simulated engine and exhaust sound aims to enhance the driving experience.

The RX 500h is available only in F Sport Performance trim, as detailed below:
