2023 RX already on display

[GSLV6]

Having looked at the cabins and compared the seats of the outgoing Takumi RX450h, I'd have that over the 500h.  It may be personal rather than objective but the seats I think are better, I prefer the outgoing dash, in fact I much prefer the 2016 onwards cabins than the new models, and the smoothness of the V6 engines.  If I were to chop my 2014RX3 in, I'd stick with the next newer model and pick a high spec low miles example and have loads of change left for a decent family holiday for many years ahead!

The F Sport (including 500h) has active sound control. You can turn it off, but only through the menu system rather than with a dedicated physical control as with the IS300h.

Makes sense and have to say that you would probably find way more from the forum rathe than dealerships, if you ask them more of a technical question they won t be able to respond.

Yes, I find this very frustrating. Salesmen seem to know minimal about the cars they are selling. Evening more annoying is the fact that Lexus have a relatively small range, so it wouldn’t be hard to know your products well.
 

 I was pulled to one side last summer at our local Lexus dealership, to be told that the forthcoming RX500 was going to be a V8 with the same engine that was in our GSF 😂. Obviously I knew that this wouldn’t be the case,  but just humoured the salesman.

Dropped the GSF off for a recall today and had a good look around the RX500h and 450h. Not 100% convinced on the front styling but I think it will grow on me with time. I think the back and side profiles were spot on and I liked the appearance and feel of the interior.

I think theyve missed a trick not offering the f sport design pack on the 450h+ as that would be the best of both worlds

Totally agree
