That would be at the expense of gas mileage.

Another question: I think the most important change is the 12.3 multi-information display (MID) which will become standard across the lineup. As you know, does this new display give the possibility to visualize maps on the screen? It would be nice...

Got it - probably similar to the TX. I don't mind the smaller display at all.

I found it decidedly unluxury compared to its competitors.

CarPlay2 will allow mirroring to the dash gauge area. Lexus may implement it in 2031.

Really would have been nice if they switched over to new generation of Hybrid drive train from Toyota Camry. I am sure that will come following year, system is very smooth and not loud, brings in 40-50's MPG range for all types of driving. They finally bring in Lithium-ion battery. I had been on fence about current Hybrid set up due to noise and not so fun way the power is delivered, but this is making me glad I leased and can get this next time around maybe.

Also thinking about gauge display going from 9” to 12.3”, can be totally off but could it be that there advising as if you get base models you get the different MID, maybe they are advising that now in base model RX you will not get the same screen in which is in on high end trims and there measuring screen size different way then we are thinking? Only say this because they keep saying across all models now.. Again could be totally off, and hope I am as it about time they give us more then boring screen.

the gauge display is going from 7 to 12 but i think it will only be on the higher trim models (the TX only has it on the higher trim Models)

"...across the lineup" likely means what the words say - the 12.3 would be on all RX models/trims. The Press Release uses "grade-specific" and specific callouts for things that do vary based on model/trim.

Anyhow, we should know soon...

Agree. This happens to me all the time. Does the RX500h use the same shifter?

Our 2023 500h has a 'manual mode' on the console shifter that (once selected) allows shifting either on the console (sequential shift style) or with the paddles.

See the little M to the right of the D, behind the shifter?

First, wow, that is clean!!!
Second, except for the dirt, that is exactly the same as in my PP+ non hybrid. That does put it into a manual mode for the paddle shifters. Fairly certain it doesn't allow you to use the gear shift for shifting gears. Every vehicle I've had that has a manual mode in the shifter has a minus (-) and plus (+) to show which way to shift. Like this pic from my wife's CX9.
