Lexus RX 2023
The 2023 Lexus RX lineup redefines luxury SUV standards with its refined craftsmanship and versatile model options. This fifth-generation RX introduces three powertrain choices: the RX 350 with a 2.4L turbocharged engine (275hp), the RX 350h hybrid combining a 2.5L engine with electric motors (246hp), and the performance-oriented RX 500h F SPORT Performance hybrid (367hp). All models feature Lexus' signature spindle grille redesign, a 14-inch touchscreen with next-gen interface, and available E-Four advanced AWD system. The extended 2,850mm wheelbase enhances rear legroom while maintaining the coupe-like roofline. Buyers can select from six trims (Premium to Luxury) with authentic Japanese interior materials like bamboo and laser-cut aluminum trim options.

Common Problem
Android Auto Connectivity Issues
One of the most frequently reported issues with the 2023 Lexus RX is related to Android Auto disconnecting randomly. Several owners have experienced this problem, particularly when using navigation apps like Waze or Google Maps. Some users suggest that the issue might be linked to Lexus's audio notifications interfering with the USB signal, causing the connection to drop. However, others believe it may be a broader issue within the Android ecosystem itself.
Infotainment and Interior Concerns
The infotainment system in the 2023 RX has been noted for being easily scratched, prompting recommendations for screen protectors. Additionally, some drivers have reported rattling sunroofs and issues with exterior door handles not functioning properly in cold temperatures, although fixes are reportedly available from Lexus.
Noise at High Speeds
Another concern among owners is an unusual humming noise at speeds over 70 mph. This issue seems to be associated with the 21-inch wheels, though some users report that tire rotation can exacerbate the problem. While some dealerships have attempted to address the issue by replacing tires, there does not appear to be a definitive fix yet.
Key Fob Battery Drain
Several owners have experienced rapid battery drain in their key fobs, with batteries lasting as little as a week to a month. A potential workaround involves maintaining a greater distance between the key fob and the vehicle when parked, as close proximity might cause continuous communication and drain the battery.
General Reliability and Model-Specific Issues
While some owners have praised the 2023 RX for its overall quality and reliability , others have expressed concerns about specific issues such as transmission problems in earlier models and various mechanical noises. It is worth noting that these issues seem to vary, and not all owners experience them.
