2023 Lexus RX Exterior and Dimensions

We have criticized the previous RX for being too Toyota-like on the outside, and Lexus has certainly brought its A-game along for the latest model. The exterior of the Lexus RX now exudes a premium air, with a modern new take on the Lexus spindle grille, now integrated into the design and not polarizing opinions as much as the in-your-face previous rendition. In profile, the RX boasts a coupe-like sloping roofline, and the upward-arcing motif on the rear door is echoed in the glasshouse above it, making for an eye-catching design. It retains typical Lexus styling cues like the L-shaped front DRLs. Base, Premium, and Premium+ RXs run on 19-inch alloy wheels and tires, while the Luxury gets dark-metallic 21s and the F Sport black 21s. The F Sport trims also feature a different grille mesh, black mirrors, and a more aggressive stance, thanks to sportier front and rear bumpers. LED headlights and taillights are standard on all trims, and a power tilt-and-slide moonroof is standard from Premium models onward.

The dimensions of the Lexus RX are much the same as the old model; the RX has a length of 192.5 inches, a width of 75.6 inches without the mirrors, and a height of 67.3 inches. However, the wheelbase grows by 2.36 inches to 112.2 inches and the front and rear track are wider, too, at 65 inches front, and 66 inches in the rear. Ground clearance is 8.2 inches on FWD trims and 8.1 inches on AWD trims.

The FWD RX 350 is the lightest model with a curb weight of 4,155 pounds, and the heaviest gas RXs are the RX 350 AWD models at 4,310 lbs. Naturally, the hybrids are heavier, with the RX 500h F Sport Performance topping out at a substantial 4,750 lbs.
