Trying to decide between RX350 vs MDX

The MDX has more interior space. I have no interest in 21” wheels or traffic jam assist, but I may be forced to take them if I want the RX. Does the RX only have 2 way lumbar support? The MDX is out for me because no hybrid. I’m looking at the Mazda CX90 when it comes out.

MDX has maybe a little more but that 3rd row is useless.... I tried the Mazda years ago and hated. Went back a few weeks ago to see the CX9 while the touches were nice the seat/width of leg area was not great. I am small (5'2) but it just seemed narrow. I was not impressed at all. Not sure if the new ones will be similar.

Actually, my 2015 Lexus RX had those same leather wrinkles very quickly. My 2020 has the nuluxe, and they are perfect ! I'm hoping the leather in the 2023 will be fine, perhaps with the suede it will help. Wonder why they did away with the Hybrid MDX? The Mazda CX90 is sharp looking, but the resale and value of those or no where that of Lexus. That is the main reason I have stayed away.

If 23 MDX vs 23 RX, I'll pick MDX.
Side impact 2.0 -- while both technically did "good" overall -- RX got excessive forces to the driver pelvis (resulting in Marginal rating) while the MDX performed a (rare) full clean sweep in all areas earning all "good." MDX is a bit stronger as well on the side.

RX plenty safe for me. I am picking much more dependable, lower maintenance cost , lower depreciation oh yeah plus a 14 inch touchscreen and 70% better gas mileage.

Had a test drive on 2023 MDX a-spec and so disappointed about bumpy and noisy ride on local roads. I do feel the steering wheel was much easier to handle on MDX. We finally bought our first Lexus (RX350h).
