Lexus RX is an important model to the brand as the sleek crossover locks horns with the big players in the segment. Four generations into its life, the time has come for the RX for a complete revival. The 2023 Lexus RX does exactly that, pushing the crossover into its fifth generation.
We kind of weren’t interested in testing this one.

But it is the RX that is the more interesting vehicle in terms of luxury tech.
