- This is a review of the Lexus RX 450h. Due with its new shape any day now, you can check prices at bit.ly/2VpFHT0, we decided to see if this 4th Generation RX is a brilliant used car or if you should get the all new 5th Generation.
Is Lexus RX a good car? And can it be compared with the BMW X5? To find out we sent our biggest BMW X5 fan a new 2021 Lexus RX450h F Sport for a review to see what he thought of what some call the "King of Hybrids".
Howard's one-line review: Best looking big quiet cool SUV.

SURVEY TIME: IF YOU HAVE A LEXUS WHY DID YOU CHOOSE IT OVER BMW MERCEDES AUDI?
Reliability and maintenance cost in the long run.
Reliability, fuel efficiency, HEV/PHEV experimented motorist, trunk space (PHEV) and leasing rate in France (NX 450H+ vs. GLC 300e vs. X3 30e
Real value… reliability and comfort… we have a 2009 RX450h and are still smiling.
Repair cost and steering wheel was soft.
Reliability, comfort and quality
2:38 Lexus uses a different standard (the German VDA) to measure boot space. Most competitors will measure as if you're pouring a liquid into it, i.e. every nook and cranny is filled. The VDA method instead measures how many 200x50x100mm blocks (which is exactly one liter of volume) you can fit in. The blocks are not flexible so not every little corner can be used. As a result the Lexus figure for boot space is lower than the competitors but it's a much more realistic representation of how much you can fit in. Lexus doesn't play the "my number is higher than your number" game, they build cars you can actually use and you can rely on.
Great info thank you
Had one for 6 years. Best car I’ve ever owned. It’s luxury motoring and built better than some megabucks cars and certainly more reliable than most. It hides it’s tech but is one of the most advanced cars on the road, very practical and roomy and super comfortable. I don’t care what others think of it or whether it’s the fastest etc. It’s still surprisingly fast off the mark, very torquey and economical for a two tonne awd 3.5 V6 petrol thanks to hybrid torque. Hybrid isn’t for economy though…this is where most journos get it wrong. It’s fir high torque to boost performance which helps economy, hence the name 450h. Similar pulling power to a 4.5 litre V8 from a 3.5 v6.
Possibly one of if not the greatest car ever made fro a dealership network that really cars about customer service and experience. Buy with total confidence, you won’t regret it .
What sets the Lexus apart from the competition is that it will outlast the competition, making it an excellent purchase as well as a lease. Lexus and Toyota don't believe in "planned obsolescence".
Interesting - although Mercedes and Audi tend also to be similar in that respect no?
i drove over 20 years Audi but they went worse and worse with every model. My RX450H is now 12 with 311000km on it. AC hose as well as exhaust has a leak now and repair is´nt cheap but imagine that akku after all these years does a nice job offering still the same fuel consumption as ever and passed the Hybrid check again. The V6 is by far the best part of this car and i will never switch to one of these new 4cyl cry babies !
@@leasingdotcom In Europe, people do take care of their cars, and the roads are top-notch, so cars from VW and Benz don't do bad. In the US, people are unkinder to their cars, and roads are worse, plus maintenance costs are exorbitant. All of these leads to bad names for German cars. Toyota makes cars considering that people will abuse their cars. With the German cars, people are expected to follow the rulebook (a tidbit I found on Quora).
@@kubanskiloeweThe RX-450H champion🏆. I see your comments
@@leasingdotcom no.
My god dude you have a brilliant way of explaining things, I’m not only saying that because I’ve got a Lexus either 😄. Seriously your reviews are brilliant and concise, funny as well. I am on the same page as you with the Lexus brand.
We have the RX FSport in our family of cars including X5. The RX is not exactly a drivers car but the most comfy and least stressful to drive. My wife’s favourite and her 3rd RX in a row. Quality product and actually stylish both inside and outside.
A good honest review of an underated brand in UK.
Lexus are amazing. I would be biased as I have an RCF though haha
This model is my 6th Lexus and arguably the best yet, just so refined with the small things that make the difference. And no I haven't filled the boot yet and we've been on a 2 month holiday up the east coast of Australia. Thanks from Oz and what ever she said at the end! 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Great video! You made me laugh at the 4:50 mark about the paint exam 😂
Thank you for your unique style☺️☺️
I just found your channel and i love it, you are a wonderful car reviewer. I have subscribed.
Good review, as always! I reckon the small cubby at 5:03 is a place to put your phone so that it doesn’t wobble around.
Everything said by the reviewer is spot on, I have the Takumi spec bought in December 2020.
How much?..
I just got this RX450h from Canada. It is a 2022 pre owned fully loaded. I didn’t choose 2023. I am sceptical about the L4 engine, and about using touch screen while driving.
This is my 4th Lexus.
Thank you, mate,, for a fun, entertaining and extremely informative coaching session on the 450h. You have really helped me make some purchase decisions.
Hey Ken, if you enjoy Lexus reviews I've made a few including the RX. If you have time feel free to check it out and let me know :)
Good review Howard, interesting alternative to my XC90, Chris
Very well
Presented 👍
Went camping a few weeks ago. two coolers, and easy-up, a tent, sleeping bags, camp chairs, food bins, etc. Plenty of room. But not much room for anything else. All that required the back seats to be down.
Which car?
I like your personality here. Only vid I've seen. White Lexus popped and I left other vids to see yours.
Loved the review though as an owner of one didn't find it really informative however felt amazing when someone say whats in your mind is.
Love his commentary funny Brit!
Try connecting your iPhone or Android into the USB port in the center console. The two ports there activate CarPlay when plugged in.
I really really love this review
what a nice , refreshing review 👍👍👍
Hi Sergei, if you enjoy Lexus reviews I've made a few including the RX. If you have time feel free to check it out and let me know :)
Thanks for good reavy.
I currently have a gs with all ths trimmings but this one is definitely a contender for my next car (or my wife's, if her e61 diesel is ever going to give out)
This guy is so fun to listen to.
I have a 2022 RXL and my best friend calls that thing you were asking about a “pocket p***y” 😂
It actually holds my cell phone perfectly. I think she’s jealous because her 2018 doesn’t have one!
In the US and Canada it is considered an upper class "soccer mama" or a "I made it grandma" vehicle. It's typically shown as a non-ballsy, non-screaming vehicle and not for petrolheads. Which is where I come from - I absolutely love everything on wheels and guess what, I recently bought the RX350L. I sold my 2yro ram laramie truck and went to grab one of those. I just wanted to get that "lexus experience" and I have no regrets, I have a tesla model 3 as my daily but I find myself taking the RX on days when I'm really pissed, just to relax. It helps, believe me.
Finally found a a review that talk sense
Thank You!
You say this one doesn’t have CarPlay. The CarPlay USB plug is in the center console, not the front USBs where it would make sense to be.
For car play you have to use the usb in the armrest.
I have this in black with red leather, great great car. Economical, fast, luxury, smart tech. Roomy, lost of quality touches. Big sat nav. Around town I can hit 60mpg.. that’s as far as the graphs will display for quite a few miles.
That's great. All the reviewers say it has poor economy!
Beautiful
You should review the latest one :-)
Toyota’s commitment to “ if it ain’t broke don’t fix It “ is evidenced by the cruise control button and its location. It’s the same button ( apart from now including active cruise control) and in the same location at 5 pm on the steering wheel as in my 19990 LS 400.
Have driven on the continent and the relaxed nature of this car makes many miles easy.
I love this review so much. Can't stop laughing.
I had one.. its that good it git stolen. Best car i ever had. Still can be economical around town if you learn how to use the battery and regen system.
I had my Subaru Crosstrek loaded up when I went on vacation with the family. I am buying a Lexus RX 350 if not this year, then next year.
Have ordered rx in premium sport edition. Should be here April 2022
Congratulations mate!
For car play you need to connect via the USB in centre arm rest and the slot is for a mobile phone.
So its phone in holder, OR, connect Apple Car Play with cable?
Good review. However, the RX F-Sport has AVS - adaptive variable suspension. Non of the range has air suspension any longer
Yes that's what I was confused on. It's not air suspension but it's actually more comfortable than it. I test drove it and so comfortable
I love this car
Great review - having owned a Lexus after all the usual Germans I can say Lexus is way way better
Excellent
How about 3 cases of wine, 1 freezer box big, 4 clothes BAGS (soft) as in suitcases, fishing kit yes lots of it, wet weather coats, Wellington boots , oh yes and enough food for 10 hungry people!!! All in the back of an xc60 Volvo...! But I am still hoping to find a good value LEXUS thanks to your great videos...cheers..
What's the front ground clearance like? Looks like a snowplough that'll catch on everything..
Filled the boot of my mid-sized SUV with the monthly groceries shopping from Tesco/Waitrose/Costco 🤔🤔
This guy is hilarious! Witty! I appreciate the Lexus even more.
Very entertaining indeed 👌😂✌️
I bought the 450 RXL Takumi today. I hope it lives up to all the hype. First sensible car I’ve ever bought.
Congratulations mate!
Well, is it as good as the hype?..
@@Shane-zx4ps still waiting for it. It’s arrived in the country so should have it in a few days.
@@psrpippy keep me informed.I’m intrigued
@@psrpippy do how is it?
Great review! Do you find the f sport seats uncomfortable?
Absolutely not :)
Hugging seats, comfy but you won’t roll around.
I'm currently trading in a 2011 ML 350 Benz. I 'm currently moving my two college age students into there dorms. So boot space is very important to me.
It beeps a lot. Safe. Safe physically. Safe financially. Safe reliability. Sport luxury with luxury priority. I own a 2022 nx 350h. I like the car, but I love cars like the mecan. But with other things going on in life, it’s now a luxury appliance.
I absolutely love this review! I am a Lexus RX 350 owner and I’ve sent this to all of my friends just to tease them! I love how you said this that this is the vehicle that comes after you’ve owned a Porsche and just want to calm down and experience pure luxury.
00:45 the Dalai Lama punch line was just so perfect.
5 man tent, 2 double sleeping bags, 2 duvets, 4 pillows, 2 suitcases of clothes, wellies, food, large cool box, cooking stove wind shield, 2 king size air beds, tent ground sheet, 3 camping chairs, fold away table, gas canister and stove.The boot fills up quickly.
Good one! Very good point too! What are you driving?
@@leasingdotcom Daily family car is a VW CC great boot but a touch too small for all the above and more. Tried dad's older XC90 ( does that count?) and yeh if I wanted to be a tool I could stack it all in but then comprise rear visibility. Decided to ditch some stuff and take the CC instead.
I have one and it is the best car ever. The only drawback is that it is not offroad capable given its size
You didnt test the turning circle, bit of a problem on earlier models...🤦♂️
Can't say it's much better on this! If you enjoy Lexus reviews I've made a few including the RX. If you have time feel free to check it out and let me know :)
Svp j'ai besoin de vos lumières pour comprendre 🙏
Si le turbo est tellement cher à produire pourquoi les constructeurs n'augmente pas la cylindrée du moteur tout simplement ou bien c'est encore plus cher ??!
Could you review the standard Ford Fiesta ?
Why?😂
is this guy related to the carwow guy???? They so much look alike.
They would make a great team
5:45, you are using the wrong port for apple carplay....it was in the center.
Unfortunately in EU Lexus Toyota doesn't do diesel engines like in US or AU
Looking for an in stock family SUV? We bring you all the greatest deals here: buff.ly/3UbXXJ7
Car keeps beeping because you haven't put it in park. Lexus : you can't fix stupid!
I think this car is best in Takumi spec with a beige interior
Exactly my spec, unfortunately this page won’t allow me to post pictures
@@banjia22 nice car
LEXUS 👌😎 TOP QUALITY
None of the current rx models have air suspension, it's not even an option.
Correct thank you. More details here. mag.lexus.co.uk/2020-lexus-rx-suspension/
What is this? Its a space to put your 8 track cassette into
Doesn't matter how good the cars are, Steve Coogan desecrated the UK market for Lexus
Remember to click the bell end icon.
Cute dog. 🙂
A great review on the *_Mogadon_* of cars, Mr. Ritchie 😴💤💤💤💤💤
Though, I'll probably buy one when I finally give up on driving ;-))...
EDIT - That slot in the central console is for keeping condoms in. It saves the embarrassment of having that _tell tale_ ring on the outside of your wallet 8-))...
All Lexus sold in UK are made in Japan
“Because taking over the world is not polite” 👏👏👏👏GENIUS!!!
You had the car not in drive or neutral, not the cars problem 😂
Driving a hybrid is really amusing until you buy it used and you have to swap the batteries and renew the air suspension all together.
If it's a toyota/lexus hybrid you'll never need to replace a thing.....
"Beautifull Car" is the 450H its a shame i car'nt afford one for the wife
In America the rx is left hand drive, and using the pad is easy because most are right handed. Lmao is this reviewer almost 70 years old with some nice shades? How would not assume a cell phone holder under the age of 50 lol
filled boot with groceries; tesco/waitrose ---> all 500litres of it 🤨🤨
Is it true that all BMW drivers, only use their BMW with their buttplugs in their bottoms?? Whenever my mate see a guy driving a BMW, we are all wondering how big the buttplug in his bottom is right now.
Does Lexus make the best cars in the world right now?
Max 4% of the time electric driving, not 42%.
I believe that what he meant to say is that 42% of the time the hybrid system is engaged vs. the ICE engine working. Once you're in motion, say up to 60 k/h (40 miles/h) the battery will keep you moving until the battery is depleted and then begin regenerating by either the gas engine coming on or regenerative braking. It's one of the reasons that hybrid taxis routinely get over 500,000 kms (300,000 miles) because the engine really only works about 58% of the time. Amazing technology. Complex yet simple at the same time.
not the brightest bulb...
I am getting a Lexus for the family when the kids are bygger, thats for sure. I am never joining the BMW club.
So you turned off the car in the beginning and left it in drive. Lol. But complained, seems like you love BMW enough that if you did that in the Germans a $1,000 out of warranty drop off would of happened lol
LMFAO 🤣
Don't worry it's going to beep at you all the time. This manufacturer things that we want to be harassed. I give up on this vehicle and I'm opting for others just because of that
2 prams and stuff for kids .. so yeah
Reviewer uses an iPhone 7, Lexus might be a bit too tech for you pal
WOW tech shaming now is it?
Que va hablar este ser Inglaterra NO fue capaz de cuidar y proteger sus marcas como Rober Rabchn River y Mini que habla este ser ja ja ja por favor.
If you want to ride luxury. And without flush money in the toilet lexus is way to go . Japanese have really long vision .
Looks and feels like a 2015 car, no competition for an X5 45e.
No, it’s way better and will out live a BMW,
