Should we be doing THIS in the 2023 Lexus LX 600 Ultra Luxury??
We take the 2023 LX 600 Ultra Luxury where the going gets tough.
You can still get a Land Cruiser 300 in the US but only in the form of the Lexus LX 600, a luxury vehicle that no one really needs but it’s really easy to want one. I have the Ultra Luxury version today which boasts more comfort and fewer seats than any Lexus SUV ever has.

Welcome.to San Diego😂
Excellent! Thank you so much! Wish we had the 300 LC they got outside the US.
Great review great car 👌🏼
Those panoramic sunroofs are terrible, you are always exposed to sunlight even with the screen closed. I would rather see them focus in higher quality materials and eliminate that hole in the roof. I couldn’t agree with you more about their decision to eliminate the Golf wagon!!
I have a 21 and it has been wonderful. I appreciate the tech changes for 24 were driven by feedback. The downside is they butchered the dash to put the new screen in there. Mine has the older Michelin run flats and they seem to be the preferred rubber. I have a second set of wheels with Pirelli winter tires so I can use it year round in Chicago.
Now there's a workable touch screen instead of the dangerous key pad.
I got mine over 130 mph so they are fast. And it’s not the hybrid max pertain
Great video just bought one today
Is it more comfortable for longer periods of driving than an M3/4?
great review and car! not sure I'd agree that auto journalists have overlooked this one though... seems to be a darling among all the ones I've seen. though they do seem to struggle with how best to classify it - there are faster, more practical, more utilitarian, more modern but few if any cars have an actual parallel in the price range.
Is it big enough for a regular sized person? This guy is too small to really judge. (Plus not understanding that the passenger seat controls on the driver side of the seat is so the driver can create room for a task without getting out of the car and going around the vehicle)
Love mine.
Sorry but M550i smokes S7 in performance.
VW America never gives what potential buyers want. An R-Line Atlas needs to have more power under the hood. An Atlas Peak needs to have skid plates, more ground clearance, and different suspension. Since about 10+ years ago VW America has had a lot of issues and missteps. It's why I left the brand and don't regret it. I've never seen an automaker be so arrogant in their mediocrity than the American division of VW.
I got a brand new 2021 atlas cross sport for 30,000$. Considering its almost the exact same car as a 50,000$ audi q8 or a 60,000$ porsche cayenne i would say i got a pretty good deal
Too much piano black plastics ? Upscale Volkswagen 😂
This car will never be in a shop every month like a bmw , Audi, and a jag !
I own a 2022 with track pad and just love it ! No fingerprints on the screen and who has time to be playing with the screen while driving ? I use consierge which automatically adjust heating and cooling , most don’t know this .
Snap, and agree with all your comments but I wish I had the 360 camera!
LEXUS 👌😎👍 THE PERFECTION
What plug is used for the plug in now? CCS1? Does it include a DC fast charge capability in case you wanted to charge it on the road or just AC charging for Level 1 and Level 2 chargers? You never showed how it plugged in to determine answers to these questions.
Who the hell cares about the environment, we need fuel economy...
My manual says gas octane 91 recommend but also 87 minimum …meaning I guess absolutely no harm in using regular 87 fuel - correct?
Great review thanks - BTW the 'Hold Charge' button means 'Hold the button down and it converts the gas engine to 'charge mode' and it then charges the battery as you drive' Works really well too!
My lc is riding on Bridgestone Altezza
Great video, my first time seeing that colour combination on a LC.
v6, loses by default.
Why did they change the engine to a V6 🤦🏽♂️ .. I need that V8
The V6 weighs less and goes faster with better fuel economy only thing your actually loosing is the exhaust sound and a terrible amount of low down lag
@charlesmcwilliam8727 the exhaust sound is important to me. That cold start is lovely on the V8
I will never buy a car with run flat tires. I prefer a manufacturer who provides the best possible ride quality. Not a bumpier / noisier ride with no spare tire and jack or place to store the tire.
Soooooooooooo typical of a stupid un-educated person that follows the TROUT!.... The BEST solution: I have always carried a tire string TAR impregnated string in-serter & a compressor...& Needle Nose pliers.......No need to ever jack up car (danger of falling) simply locate nail / screw pull out insert string in hole....No FreaK'n waiting for AAA for an hour + & no taking tire to repair shop cost money to go and return to pick up.
Noticed a trailer hitch on video. Did you install? I can only find one for “F Sport” at Lexus. Looked at install directions and it describes three cuts or trims, one center and two at ends. Just bought an F sport 2024 NX450h+. Love it but don’t wan’t to cut it up to install a hitch.

Absolute dream car
If you really obsessed over convertibles you'd know the R230 generation [2001-2012] of Mercedes SL's was the most refined expression of the art. It's glass roof an exercise in virtuoso engineering. From the OEM with more convertible experience than any other and it feels like it. I mean this thing had an automatic or on demand power operated full sized leather wrapped roll bar built in. It came with a Twin Turbocharged V12 from AMG which to this day is gapping Tesla Model 3's. While coddling a driver ensconced in heated or cooled massaging seats. Which are not available on the LC500. Neither are the fully active suspension, fog lights and spare tires. Mercedes can't even build them like that any more. Absolute drop-top perfection.
I vaguely remember there being some mental options on the SL. I realy do like the SL too.
Such a beautiful car. I wish I can afford to buy one before they discontinue it!
I think it’s the fifth year, since the XT4 debuted in 2019.
The flat-bottomed steering wheel is available, but does not keep the heated steering wheel function so cold climate buyers beware.
You are dead wrong. The 6 speed is one of the best. Perhaps you can't drive a manual properly. Nothing crunchy or rubbery on my R. I am glad I didnt listen to you. PS I traded in my GR Corolla for the R. Both are superb although the Golf seems a more mature substantial car and the GR is on the other hand more playful.
We took four adults, and the car fully loaded on a two day trip. It wasn't blunted. It performed greatly! You need to try this with your impressions.
Are you sure about the seats? Bespoke convertibles only comes with Sports Seats.
oh do they?
The LC500 is incredible! I have no doubt it will be a true collector and highly sought after once no longer available. Thank you Lexus for an absolute master piece!
it is stunning, they have already cancelled it in Europe
Where is this? I want to go :)
I think it’s funny when people mention poor fuel economy on a V8…..ummmm….what did you expect??🤔🤔😂
I drive the hybrid LC coupe and get so much hate online
It’s all the manufacturers. They’re purposely killing the manuals by making them terrible to drive. The new JL manual in the jeep is gd awful. I’ve had multiple gtis and were great. The new R is poop. The wrx feels terrible. Honda is the last one to make a good manual and clutch. But being FWD I’m out
The skid plate is not made of steel.
4:48 a cool way of saying a manual transmission 🤣
- The tires are Michelin Pilot Sport 4, not Pilot Sport 4S…lower tier category. - Red STI start button is just an accessory, not exclusive to the tS. You can get it on any BRZ - Engine is a 2.4L, not a 2.0L
fuel efficiency can be close to 35mpg on the highway and driving between 60 and 70 mph
This vehicle suffers from too many gears, frankly. It would be better off with taller gearing so you can rev it out more. I can count on one hand the amount of times I've been over 6th gear. 8 gears would have been more than sufficient, but 10 is just a waste.
@@sly9263I like the extra gears. The lower gears are much shorter than the later ones. Cruising over 80mph while at 1500rpm is pretty good on gas for those longer trips.
@@zetapingpong I don't really have a use for long trips in a 2 door with limited space- I'd take the GX460 or F250 for that. I'll drive the LC like a caddy with my wife in the car, otherwise I want to hear it sing, which means I'm keeping it at or above 4,000 RPM at all times. Highway MPG is cool and all but at the end of the day I care more about enjoying the vehicle than saving a few bucks on fuel.
@@zetapingpong it is amazing though to see the MPG modern V8s can get on the highway though
GTI engine upgrade and still available well contented in FWD. Basically the pre-refresh Arteon drivetrain. Love that they chopped the top to differentiate from standard Atlas. Not needed w/o 3rd row. Hopefully 1 more refresh brings the refresh Arteon drivetrain. (R engine w/ 7speed dual-clutch)
Trading in my 2023 NX350 F Sport 3 for the 2025 NX450h+ F Sport 3. The only things I will miss from the gas model will be the ML sound system and the POWER 60/40 split rear seats… everything else will be exactly the same but with new bells and whistles and a little more speed! 😎🇨🇦
As a former WV ID4 owner switched to Tesla Model Y I beg you not to buy this!!! Pretty much any EV except Tesla is like a nice train cabin with no railroad to ride. Disastrous charging infrastructure, nonexistent navigation system make it impossible to guarantee a safe ride for somewhat longer distances than your neighborhood. Tesla - is a completely different beast - I dont even think about charging, the car calculates everything for me, saying "charge for 5 minutes", even for 2-3 minutes!!! and the result is guaranteed. Just last week I made a trip from Boston to NY and back. Insane charging speed, super reliable infrastructure and integrated navigation. FORGET ABOUT WV! GO FOR TESLA!!!!
