Hi Everyone. Been lurking on this forum for the last 8 months or so, excited to say that we finally picked up our RX500h last night after 7 months of waiting. We put a deposit down in Dec 2022 for a 500h with the Performance 3 package and Caviar exterior and Roja Red interior colours. We were notified in late June that it would finally arrive mid-Jul.

I don't have a ton of comments yet, other than it is such a nice-looking vehicle, looking forward to understanding and using all the tech as well as some nice road trips through the mountains.

We have owned Audis and Infiniti vehicles in the past and this is our first foray into the Lexus brand, really excited about the journey.

Hi everyone, somewhat new to this forum, but brand new to the Lexus family. Purchased a 2023 RX350 Lux off the lot this past weekend after months of looking at lots of options. Coming out of an Audi Q5 that was totaled by hitting a smallish tree on the interstate at ~70mph a few months back. Looking forward to reading all the comments over the coming years, and hoping we don't have too many issues with the first year of the new design.
  1. 2023 RX350 Luxury
  2. Navigation package
  3. Nightfall Mica with Black Leather and suede interior, 21" rims
  4. Went with luxury level trim to get the pano roof, triple beam headlights, and the Mark Levinson sound system, plus liked the slightly different look/feel of the suede inserts and trim. Also has the cold weather package which I think just adds a wiper deicer heat strip at the lower edge of windshield
  5. Didn't go with the F-Sport package for several reasons, but mostly wasn't a fan of the firmer ride

Smile New To Lexus

1. 2023 RX350H
2. With Navigation
3. Nori Green with that creamy whitish interior
4. Luxury Level. I looked at 500h but decided it was not for me. Nice car though.
5. Not a sports model. I was trying to get away from sports cars because I drive like an *** in a sports car. Too old to be an ***.

I was driving a 2020 Avalon TRD. I liked that car. Handled well and was very comfortable to be in. I was just tired of falling into it and climbing out of it.

Beautiful! I love that color. I had it on a previous RX. Would have bought it again if the dealer had the car I wanted in it. I had to settle for Caviar. It's nice but believe it or not it shows a lot more dirt than the Nightfall Mica did.

Good to know. I actually just did the ceramic coating to keep the shine and protect the paint. A little expensive, but hopefully it will pay off on the long term.

I agree with you misher, the Nav should be free however seems to the new trend. I don't have data on my phone so in 3 years I will need to see which is cheaper paid subscription or add a data plan, or perhaps mount my $88 Tom Tom on the dash lol. Cheers and congrats.
