Is it kind to say “we told you so” if it saves you from a poor investment in the all-new 2023 Lexus RX 350? We may be a little cheeky, but our table displays nothing but the facts. Let's break it down item by item. Both SUVs offer a standard turbocharged engine on their base models and an available all-wheel drive system as an upgrade. But only the new 2023 Lincoln Nautilus offers a twin-turbocharged option: the 2.7-liter V6 engine, capable of producing smooth, muscled performance while keeping your fuel efficiency high. You'll notice that both models have an optional digital rearview mirror — a sophisticated spin on a standard (and otherwise boring) feature — but only the Lincoln Nautilus offers front seats with Active Motion® Massage and the iconic piano key shifter. In the Lexus RX 350, you'll have to make do without a massage on the go or a musically inspired design aesthetic. Now let's talk about measurements. The Lexus RX 350 has a small standard center touchscreen at 9.8 inches — the Lincoln Nautilus generously employs a 13.2-inch standard center touchscreen, allowing drivers squint-free access to infotainment and audio. But what stands out to us the most is the difference of 22.6 cubic feet between the maximum cargo volumes, favoring the Lincoln Nautilus.
It's not a viable SUV if you can't store everything you need in the back. Drive home this all-American victor from our dealership today.
