Everyone everywhere is constantly telling you what to do. It’s a constant when growing up, and it continues once you’re older, as advertising tells you what to drink, smoke or wear. Your clergyman tells you when you’re sinful. Even your pet tells you to feed it, usually by barking or meowing.
And now, cars have joined this cantankerous chorus. Any number of them have readouts that advise you to take a break from driving, usually accompanied by a graphic of a cup of steaming coffee. But now, Lexus has gone a step further, admonishing you to sit up straight on the all-new 2023 Lexus RX, like a nagging mother. It’s hardly endearing.
All-new for 2023, RX aficionados will find this newest model delightfully better but not threateningly new — nagging aside. Utilizing the Toyota corporate GA-K platform that will underpin a number of Lexus and Toyota vehicles, including the NX crossover and ES sedan. Its lower roof and longer wheelbase lend it a sportier vibe, although overall, its updated appearance doesn’t stray far from the familiar. Overall size remains the same, although the three-row RX-L has been dropped — for now at least. So two rows are all you get.
