One thing for sure, this beast will outlast any GM, Ford and Chrysler
Who buys this to own it forever?
@@erick94sweet Most people that buy this. Not literally forever but most likely 10+ years
Put together
@@Valon_D 10 years for a Lexus is not long
Not really it also has to much electrical, will have electrical problems in the long run.
anyone ever realize that Joe does all his videos in one take...crazy! Shoutout to you Joe, always giving the people the info they need!
Thanks for noticing that Kevin! I appreciate your awesome support!
Very impressive, I did notice that as well.
You are THE go-to for auto reviews, Joe! You and Lori make them all enjoyable to watch. It may not even be a vehicle on my list, but I'll watch your reviews every time. Thanks!
Bet!
Great detailed review. Thanks for reviewing that third row in detail. Love the new look, especially those hood lines. Love the better fuel economy too.
You are so very welcome! I’m glad that I could bring it to you!
I love this SUV. the Escalade dash is much better looking, but I’m a Lexus man and the fit/finish and outside style and assumed reliability give the LX the nod! Well done Raiti!!! 🙏🏾🤙🏾🙌🏾
Thanks Edwin for letting me bring it to you!
I agreed. The technology is grea. I don’t know about the split screen. I like the split screen, but the connection between the two screen is not clean. Just go back and look the design in 2015 dash and 2021 dash, this one is not a wow set up. I love Lexus brands, the details they always have been. I think Lexus are not much details like they use to be.
If the escalade still had the bulletproof 6.0l v8 engine it will last over 350k
Assalamualaikum..I don’t konw why i like you so much brother. You are truely awesome speaker, and your explanation is so clear.. I can't but if i am able to meet you oneday, then trust me i will do that InshaAllah
Thank you my friend for taking the time to say that! I am very grateful for your support!
F sport seems like the model to go with. Incredible review. Those tires seem meaty enough on those wheels.
I totally agree with you Jacob!

Love how organized your reviews are. Same routine every time. Keep up the great reviews!
Compared to the previous generation LX, I feel like they kind of "toned down" on the styling which I'm perfectly fine with that. Granted the F Sport trim's front facia can be considered a bit too much but in my opinion it just flows better than what the last gen LX looked like. I suppose it's due to the fact that the headlights are smoother and not as jagged Idk, something about the new LX just really grabs my interest.
I appreciate you sharing those thoughts!
As a 21 LX570 Sport owner I agree with you.
They did a great job. This is a proven true off road brand. If you want to look like you might go off road, get a new Bronco. If you actually want to, and you want to do it in comfort, get a Lexus
I like the way that you put that!
Joe and Lori, thank you for braving the warm sunshine to give a very good and informative review. Gotta give Toyota credit for going with a smaller twin turbo engine versus a V8 on this size and price point of a vehicle. Plus , 60 mph in under 7secs with 5,600 pounds of weight, AND better fuel economy? Incredible!!! Wish the FSport wasn’t quite so pricey.
Those turbos are going to grenade
@@RUclipsuser1aa its a toyota, it wont burst
Large and in charge is definitely the name of the game with this new LX 600!!! Absolutely love it!!! I feel like with the departure of the Land Cruiser from the States..R.I.P. ... this will fit the bill juuuuust fine!!! Great review as usual Joe and Lori!!! Bless you both!!!
I can't believe they got rid of the split tailgate! One of the best features this car had. I love the one on my land cruiser
Yep it sucks when auto makers delete unique and beloved features of the past. I guess I’ll hang on to my older one as well.
Yup. Agreed.
honestly might be a deal breaker for me. that and the missing wireless charger in the front. im not dropping $100k+ on this and feeling like it isn’t as good as it should be. stupid decision on lexus’ part.
Apparently in pursuit of making the car more dust proof when off roading , they had to do that . Disappointed too but I guess its for a purpose
Could have at least made it an option.
Very fancy. You might be the only person to take this off road lol. Great review Joe! Nice job Lori! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
I think you may be right Larry! 🤣
Love LEXUS (I’m on my second one) I kissy hate that this doesn’t have a panoramic sunroof for that price. Great review as usual!
Incredible car. Checks off all the boxes. Luxury, capability, toughness, power. 👌
Looks good, for a lot of more Lexus LX600 for the Future of the Vehicles.
I totally agree with you!
@@RaitisRides Alright. I'll be completely different work for me.
I was set for BMW x7, then I saw this. This is a beast, and the Sport is the best trim of the LX. Sure the LX doesn't match BMWs V8, but LX is much more off road capable. When traveling across the mountain pass, I'd be glad I had this hidden Toyota Land cruiser aka LX 600 than the BMW. More off road capable and more reliable! I'm buying this truck!
If he reviews a car for the 3rd time with more trims of the same car to come, then you know it’s a good car!
Very great review, I like the LX600 by far to the other competitors, and you've got luxury in a real off-roader, reliability is here.
Well said and agreed
@@ekgcanadianenthusiast9961 Thanks
Looks great and will last long (toyota)..no v8,let's see what this new engine can do....tough choice but I'd go for the LEX..it looks better than the LAND CRUISER as well
Landcruiser is better, because its not rebadged
@@edwardvalivonis23 yea but I prefer the lexus look
@@edwardvalivonis23 lol, just knowingly being incorrect is really cringe, you clearly don’t have eyes, and clearly have never been in one or driven one. Not even comparable vehicles. Ones a luxury suv top to bottom, ones not, simple.
I hear toyota is having a lot of problems with this engine in the Tundra.
@@sixsixST2 NOPE. Been in their car for years. Quit the turbo fear mongering. Really gets old
Now that's the proper way to spec this LX600 🔥love everything about.
So glad that you love this LX!
The interior dash is not very well thought out I get it. It's simple and straightforward but it look like they didn't think about the design
Good morning everyone. Such a nice SUV, loved it.
Good morning Omar! I’m so glad that you like this one.
Love the channel brother. I just can’t seem to wrap my head around the V6 TT. Especially when I see the new Tundra’s are having issues already. Nothing beats the 5.7 V8.
Trouble free in our 19 LS500, similar engine 58K miles just regular maintenance.
LOL. Worst V8 in its class. Gas hog. Wont tow. Slow. Behind in every category. Lexus has rock solid reliability. built for 20yr life cycle
That v8 sucks with that displacement no changes over the years i don't know why people love those gas hogs glad they killed the v8
Toyota Rusts for like ever!
Why wouldn’t you want 20 years out of vehicle. If it’s boredom that people get new vehicles every couple of years then it’s an addiction
Love hows he breaking down explain clearly
That really means so much Edwin!
Great review. I like the Escalade for the the third row and space . Makes it a little easier to keep the peace on those family road trips. If it was just a pure luxury SUV experience I’d pay a little extra and go straight to the top tier Ultra Lux and skip the third row.
I’m thinking the same way as you!
LOL. I have had both. Escalade can't hold a candle long term in ANY respect to the LX. Quality, resale, dealer support, ground clearance, anything.
@Lee Iacoca lmao
The Escalade will drive itself, now that's luxury, this is not even anywhere near the Escalade bro.
@@mbukukanyau if it starts
Ratti Really knows how to talk man. He’s really great 👍🏻. I’m taking a personal branding class to get more used to that. Thank you for the great and inspiring content and Lori as well for the camera work!! Thank you both so much!!!
That’s so very awesome man! You can do anything you set your mind to.
@@RaitisRides Thank you for that!!! 👍🏻
Glad I bought a V8 GX before they change that one also. But it's the way in the industry is going and I can't blame them. Overall great looking truck and features and I'm sure it's a better more efficient.
You hit the nail on the head!
Great review as always. Cant compare Lexus to these other brands regarding quality. Lexus is in a different level in terms of material and build (hence the resale value). It's got luxury, good aesthetics and enough tech. If I want cutting edge tech and performance I'd buy a Tesla.
That is a very good point!
Beautiful SUV. I'd definitely take the Lexus over the competition.
I’m so glad that you like this one
U still don't get as much gadget
What It Dew Joe.... I love how ur word play is freestyled off the top of ya dome and the auto stats memorized... U come up with some funny shhhh...I was looking at that.. That Lexus F Sport is so beautiful.. Do u think the price on it is worth it..? To fix that exhaust sound I'll get some custom mufflers.... Lori thanks for the great camera work.. What's next on ur car review list.. Custom cars?..can't wait to tune in ..what EV car would u pick..I'm digging the lucid air..but anyways y'all keep up the good work and the cars coming... Be safe.
Great review as always. I’m loving this Fsport! I do however love the old version especially the jump seats and the split cargo hatch.
I love these vehicles pretty modern looks good extremely luxury and most importantly reliable.
pretty dope ride! glad they didnt go too crazy with the rims, tires still look nice and meaty, and of course will ride better 👍😎
The cooler in the center really wowed me.
Same here!
Well its ultra luxury lx f sport but I'm digging on that one too if I can afford one that came with new features
I know how you feel!
They were supposed to release the LX600 f-sport with a new v8 4.0TT from toyota but they ditched it last minute and put the hybrid 3.5 kit.
I’ve been looking forward to this review! Joe, you sure this one is optioned at $101K MSRP? The F Sport starts at $102K, add the Mark Levinson speakers $2,660 and the active height control of $1,300, it should be around $107K.
Add the $5,000 dealer fee for this suv being so hyped and having low supply, and the $ 5,000 tax so $117k total my friend.
@@pumbaa1303 lol. That is so true
@@pumbaa1303 On point, and sales wont tell you this beforehand for sure
No he said starting msrp not as spec-ed
but remember new Lightnings Platinum over 93K for a pickup. This is actually a great deal
Great Job Lori as always 👏
Thanks Vaughn for always being so supportive!
I think Lexus could've downsized their V8 to 4L like some of the competition, and given it a single turbo maybe, for some decent fuel efficiency.
Obviously they want to use the 3.5L twin turbo V6 across different platforms.
are you joking? that would be a disaster. the downsized engine is a shame.
Why do that when they could use the same hybrid v6 their using in the Tundra!
@@curiosityredpill7030 There are some customers who would prefer to have a V8 in an LS or Tundra. Especially those who bought a previous generation.
@@curiosityredpill7030 that engine is new and untested.
I can’t wait to see that new Cadillac Escalade V!!!
This is really nice, it's a huge improvement, but there are features missing for the price. It won't be as on road capable as the X7 in any trim. The new Escalade V debuted today so it might be a good time to compare as I can't see the regular Escalade right now. I really like this new LX for sure, inside and out, massive improvement and it's finally a modern product. The best combo would be the lux models interior and the F-Sport exterior and suspension. Look for the new LX to set new sales records. You no longer have to make any excuses for it now.
you are spot on! I would have ordered the F Sport trim as soon as they announced pricing, except you can't get massage seats. In an over $100K Lux SUV, I think it's a feature you should be able to have if not standard. Also the Lux version, has an 8 Speed Tranny? that's just ODD.
@@chipmacgill I think they're weighing where to put their chips to get the most out of the launch year. Once this chip crisis is over I'd bet more features become optional on the F-Sport and other trims. Not sure why they won't offer a Pano roof though.
@@chipmacgill No, it has a 10 speed transmission.
@@alh06 thanks, but unless I misunderstood him, in one section he says 10, (which I knew from the website and actually calling my Lexus guy) and the I think he mistakenly says 8. No worries. And tganks
Very good review, Sir! What a beautiful gigantic beast of suv Lexus ever made since it first gen more than a decades ago. I loved this particular model compare to old version that more looked classy. Eventho this new model heart of V6 not V8 but I still give this model hands up for the power out and the torque. What a powerful suv. Im not bias to other full size luxury suv like some other continental brand but this one is beast tho 🔥. I loved this suv so much. In my country, the cost of this model will be in range between 1.3M-1.7M Ringgit Malaysia. If I have enough money soon, I would like to buy one. Nothing impossible! 💪
Going to order one .. then I woke up from my dream
I know how you feel.
Finally! I’m really digging into this design
I’m so glad that I could bring it to you!
WOW IS BEAUTIFUL !🥰👍
I’m so glad you like this LX.
Why is it labeled an LX 600? Does it employ a 6.0 liter V-8 engine? Should be labeled the LX 3.5TT and eventually, the LX 3.5TTH
It’ll definitely last longer than the Escalade.
True but I’d be willing to be a lot of Escalades are leased.
Escalade will last as long as you love him
You're nuts
@@TV-cx2zw Escalade has many issues. Especially electrical. Caddy 2.5/5 while the LX 3.5/5 based on consumer reports and professional studies. It’s an expensive Toyota Lexus IS KNOWN for reliability… Escalade not so much. But that’s what I’ve researched myself for the purpose of buying a large sized SUV for my family.
@@khalilhenderson4082 everything is subjective... I have no experience with the brand new Escalade but my uncle has a 2018 and it's had no issues whatsoever.
Can we all give Lexus an ovation for not covering the console with piano black. Beautiful. Someone finally decided to listen.
Great video but compared to other cars in this class I’m not impressed
I can understand why!
Thanks for coming to New Mexico😁👍‼️
You got it man! It is a wonderful state!
The one thing that fustrates me is that in US it cost just 100k USD while in other asian countries it cost 156k USD. 56k is a gigantic difference.
Blame it on inflation in your country
My friend, in my country Cambodia, it's cost 240K not even 156K!
This is the second LX600 (but F Sport) review that you've done so far, but I still love it!
cad may come down to American taste but it largely looks like an elevated mpv and not much of a traditional suv, it also looks cheap and flashy. how many time does a cad break down, how long does it last, does it off-road the way Japanese do? LX600 looks dang premium, well put together, reliable, and def an SUV for its literal purpose. sorry Americana's this LX will still be on roads without a single breakdown while you'd largely be done with your lifespan. LX is the best on and off road combined SUV on earth!!!!
Thanks for sharing those great thoughts!
I think the front grille needs to be a bit bigger.
LOL 😂 I see what you did there!
I'm at the very beginning of the millennial generation and I'm also well aware of Toyota's legendary reliability and longevity, but to me,Cadillac was and always will be the aspirational luxury brand that I grew up with. But perhaps the one thing that puts the Escalade over the top is the upcoming supercharged V8 of the upcoming V trim.
That’s a great way to put it!
I would cross-shop the Tesla Model X Plaid if you're looking for speed in a "SUV" since it does the quarter mile in 9.9 seconds and 0-60 in 2.5 seconds! And that's my dilemma; I own a 2013 LX 570; bought it brand new in 2013 and it's been flawless ever since. My use case for buying my LX was because: 1) there aren't a ton of them on the road 2) Lexus reliability and support 3) great residuals 4) great V8 motor that's proven 5) like the fact it can off-road if needed 6) it's been 9 years with no squeaks , rattles, or significant issues so it's a testament of Lexus build quality. The problem I have if I were in the market are competitors like the Tesla Model X Plaid that meets 90% of my needs with the added benefit of speed that aren't that far above these price points. Overall Lexus did well with the LX 600...time will tell how long these turbos last on this latest motor.
good luck on resale. no ground clearance whatsoever. ugly as sin
@@02hreblue30 ,exactly how many of us are actually going to need that ground clearance? And it's certainly not much worse than the average station wagon or sedan.
Beautiful SUV with twin turbo V6 power under the hood
You are so very right!
Escalade Drills this easily, come on you should know better. That interior is wack compared to the Escalade come on. Looks like a Honda interior. Ain’t no oled screen
Wow.i am sorry lx is better than a escalade and navigator plus grand wagooner .motor1 gave 9.1 out of 10 .its high than escalade navigator and grand wagooner
@@ekgcanadianenthusiast9961 That interior in this new Lexus LX is not worth over 70 thousand dollars.
@@ekgcanadianenthusiast9961 . STOP GETTING EMOTIONAL ABOUT AMERICAN CARS. THE ESCALADE IS MILES BETTER THAN THIS. NOBODY CARES ABOUT MOTOR1. THE INTERIOR IN THIS LEXUS LOOKS LIKE IT SHOULD BE ON A TOYOTA AVALON. ITS NOT WORTH THE PRICE.
@@Passportbros8 oh.i am not emotional but you are .its my opinion and i respect yours as well.damm.😂. I wont responded to you .because you are troll

Lori tnx so much for the views from the camera love u raiti's ride 😍😍😍🥰
great video and quick question , does lx600 f sport or any other trims have soft close doors?
Speaking of "Is....better than...?", I'd love to see more of your Vs videos where you pin two vehicles of similarity together and give your "I would buy this...." verdict.
Sounds good! Thanks for the feedback!
Absolutely, way better than other brands.
No chance
Like always thank you for the amazing videos!
People hate Tesla , however, they pushed a lot of these companies to upgrade their screen sizes and stuff.
And that is one more reason to hate Tesla. Go watch the Louis Rossmann video where he rides in a Model X where the screen lags by several seconds and the screen won’t let him turn off the overhead light. At least the real manufacturers are using AEC tested screens unlike Tesla.
@@bobbbobb4663 do those screens really have that many issues?
That's a deal breaker, 2nd row when folding down isn't flush with 3rd row seats. We sometimes when traveling or camping need to utilize our suv
That is an excellent point!
Is sleeping in the vehicle the purpose of wanting it flat? Not sure if $107,000 is the target market for that.
@@chrisvldz yes
"This is what I'll be having for dinner".😄

The blacked out grille looks much better. Great review Joe ……..and Lori ! 🎥
I totally agree with you! Lori did a phenomenal job!
We’ll be seeing plenty in DUBAI
Best car reviewer on RUclips ! Thank you
Fantastic truck. The lack of panoramic sun roof is a major failure at this price point. If it had the full moon roof I would buy.
me too. it seem simple but it's definitely a deal breaker for me...
I think this v6 is going to take away all the reliability that lexus has given us all these years. But we will see. Great Reviews as always !!
Great review buddy! Are those fog lights, or sensors for radar cruise? Looks like they may be taking a page out of Audi's book as I don't see a sensor anywhere else on the front.
Thank u very much Joe I commented in the last video that I wanted review of the f sport thank u and btw I really love the asthetic of this car definitely would buy this over Cadillac or bmw
You are very welcome!
I love it my boy Joe and Lori and keep up the work and I love the video lot real true 💯 👍
fyi. you can still calculate your driving speed by using any moving object on screen and the amount of time it takes to pass by a fixed point. just sharing...in case someone is really trying to get you in trouble with how fast you are going in regards to the speed limit.
Try the subaru outback wilderness plz
Lexus finally made a nice looking rear bumper on their LX model. It used to look so deformed and weird. This LX looks really nice from all angles..
I think they did such a great job!
Great Review
Thanks Dave!
I love your reviews. 👍
Definitely the best SUV on the planet 👍🏻
Me just reading the video title:
Yes, it is….No questions asked.
That is so awesome!
Great review! Does the F-Sport have soft close?
Absolutely 💯 love the front facia area
All I wanna say God bless you Joe and Lori ! 👍
Someday, I will buy this 2022 Lexus LX600.
I have a 2010 sequoia. It's a limited. It's pretty much the same vehicle minus the huge TV in the dash and cooler box. Oh and it's paid for.
Cant believe the 360 camera angle still has not changed to meet the competitors technology.
That gloss black by the grill already scratched like crazy
New rear logo is 🔥
I am glad that you like that one.

17 city, 22 highway, 19 combined. Not too shabby.
I always hated mostly all Lexus trucks, but I love this one!
Very good review Joe and Lori. Raiti’s Ridesa always delivery. I wish Lexus would have extended the body a bit more to compete with the size of the American SUVs. Also wish they would have added a Panoramic Roof to enhance the back seat luxury experience. Hopefully the new engine will be reliable as the old V8.
