One of the great things about buying or leasing a new vehicle is getting to experience all the new tech innovations. If you want to experience some of the best tech features available today, we strongly recommend exploring the new 2023 Lexus RX.
Tech Features of the 2023 Lexus RX
Below are some of the tech features you can find in the 2023 Lexus RX:
All-Electric Powertrain
Perhaps the biggest tech feature of the 2023 Lexus RX is its all-electric powertrain. This powertrain, which Lexus calls “Direct4,” comprises two electric motors that combine to produce 308 horsepower. It delivers brisk acceleration while you’re driving, whether you’re cruising down the highway or navigating your way through windy suburban streets. It also contains a 65.6 kWh battery, which should give you around 220 miles of driving range.
DC Fast Charging
The 2023 Lexus RX comes with DC fast charging capabilities to keep the all-electric powertrain running. On most days, you’ll likely make use of an at-home charging setup, which will charge your battery slowly over a few hours, typically at night when you’re done with your vehicle for the day. However, there may be situations when you need to charge your vehicle while you’re on the go, such as on a long trip, much like you would stop for gas.
When these situations arise, you’ll be glad you have the DC fast charging capability on your 2023 Lexus RX. This setup will quickly charge your vehicle’s battery, restoring a large percentage of its capacity in just a few minutes. Many public charging stations are available that can connect to your Lexus’s charging port, so you won’t have to worry about running out of battery while you’re on the go.
Infotainment System
One of the first tech features you’ll notice inside the 2023 Lexus RX is the large 14-inch infotainment display. This touch-screen system makes it easy to control many of your vehicle’s settings, including your preferred media sources. For example, you can easily connect your smartphone thanks to Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integrations, then stream music, podcasts, or audiobooks through your favorite apps.
You can also open your preferred navigation app and have the map appear on the large screen. Finally, to make things a little safer, it’s possible to control the infotainment system using only voice commands, so you can keep your hands on the wheel.
Digital Gauge Cluster
In front of the driver’s seat is a digital gauge cluster. This gauge cluster displays important information about your vehicle and driving conditions, such as your current speed, the temperature outside, and any alerts that you need about your vehicle. There are even some customization options, so you can select what information appears in the digital gauge cluster. By making this cluster all-digital, it becomes easier to read and adds to the modern design of the 2023 Lexus RX’s interior.
Digital Key
Another great tech feature of the 2023 Lexus RX is the digital key. With the digital key, your smartphone becomes a key fob for your Lexus. This means you can unlock your RX and start the engine just by having your phone in your pocket. On top of that, you can lock your RX from anywhere as long as you have your phone. For example, if you forget to lock your RX after you walk away, you can easily open the app and lock it.
With the digital key, you can also share access to your RX with others. You simply need to open the app and grant someone else permission to use your RX. Now your family and friends can make use of your Lexus without you having to pass the keys around. This is also helpful in situations such as when you leave your Lexus at home during a vacation, and you need a neighbor to move your vehicle for some reason. It’s just one more way the tech features of the 2023 Lexus RX provide added convenience.
Safety Features
Some of the 2023 Lexus RX’s best tech features are its safety features. There are numerous safety features inside the RX, each designed to help keep you safe on the road. Some of the standard safety features include automated emergency braking, pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, a lane-keep assist feature, and adaptive cruise control. With all these features, your RX continually monitors the area around you and looks out for potential signs of danger.
Head-Up Display
One of the best ways to stay safe while driving is to keep your eyes on the road. Unfortunately, we sometimes need to look at things in our vehicles, which can momentarily take our eyes away from the road. The head-up display in the 2023 Lexus RX is there to help reduce some of these distractions.
The digital display projects important information directly onto the windshield, allowing you to read it without taking your eyes off the road. For example, you can see your current speed and driving directions, all without having to look at your phone or the infotainment display.
Advanced Park
Finally, there’s the Advanced Park system. This system helps you park your RX in various spots. Whether you’re looking to parallel park or pull into a perpendicular spot, the Advanced Park system scans the surrounding area and then carefully navigates your RX into the spot. No more will you have to spend a long time trying to squeeze yourself into that tight spot on the street. Then, when you’re ready to leave, the Advanced Park system can monitor oncoming traffic and help you leave the spot safely.
