What do you think of the updated RX350?
It's amazing love it guys
TheStraightPipes I definitely would go for this 😍
Its cool
Young KRILLZ I suppose it’s like the Mercedes AMG Line or BMW M sport. They are all essentially the same drivetrain as a standard model but with different cladding.
I would probably take the RDX over this. Looks better, especially the front. Lexus wins on reliability though.
“Omg that felt reliable” 😂
best part of the video
That's what she said 🤔
The best!
IT IS !!!
Seth Durand wtf I read your comment exactly the same moment he said it
Driving 2016. 120k miles with zero problem. Its one boring car to drive, crappy infotainment, but still loving this car. Cars been paid for and should last me another 5 years with no problem.
Love hearing that naturally aspirated V6. This motor is going to live past the apocalypse
If only they had more to say about the actual engine... Or maybe how well the breaks work... Or the grip and stability... Steering response
Yes, but slowly
Yep. I had an '05 Highlander with the 3.3L version of that motor. Ran even better at 65k miles when than it did when I bought it brand new. I still regret selling it.
What apocalypse?
Mike Im 17 and i want one of newer ES 350 I want something comfortable and reliable. Nothing like a relaxing drive and a quiet high quality interior!
I can definitely confirm the Lexus RX reliability. I've got a 2004 RX330 with over 274,000 miles on it now. It has needed a few repairs, but overall has been so reliable. It's also amazing that the trip odometer controls are in the exact same spot on my car that's 16 model years older. Never change Toyota.
I have a 2004 with 128k miles. I think I like the design better than Gen 3
Did the suspension parts get changed?
Intro is way better than the last one, but I still miss the older one :(
I don’t rlly like this or the other one, the older one was iconic
*WHY did they change it at all?* I seriously don't understand, it was perfect exactly how it was, they need to stop trying to modify things that are working well
I miss the old one soo much!! Some of the facts felt rushed and then repeated minutes later
Ngl thats facts though, theres no point in previewing a 12 minute video 😔
Dan Fiscus trying stuff
@@YuriTereshyn people tend to fear change what can you do 🤷🏽♂️
I really appreciate your transparency in letting us know why you don’t touch on reliability and fuel economy.
Fuel economy is a cop out. Tell us what you are averaging! That is transparency.
Oh man guy's 😂
The piano sounds in the gloss black part killed me.
Same here lol. That's why I scrolled down to comment and saw this.
These challenges to find “hidden” functions in a new vehicle are spot on, well done, if have never seen another reviewer do this and it’s very informative!
Other than infotainment, this is every Toyota/Lexus product I've ever driven. Everything works, buttons for everything, easy to drive, seating position and comfort is on point, no weird vibrations, no rough ride, no "enthusiast" suspension". It just works so well.
Yea but for 70k I can also buy a very slightly used/new range rover lmao I'd buy that over this anyday
Allphonetips Range Rover wont last for shit bro. This car is known for its reliability.
@@XxGAMERxXPS3 lol if I have 70k to spend on a car I would easily buy a range rover for 45 to 60k and use the rest of the money for gas and maintenance, not buy a new lexus lol there is absolutely nothing exciting about this lexus like at all.... it's the same lexus as every year at least what it feels like to me. If this vehicle was under/around 45 50k out the door wit this f sport package would be a good deal but 70k..... you gotta be crazy to spend 70k on a lexus SUV lol
@@ABAtrading Cool, do that then. Why are you commenting here? Literally anyone with common sense advises against that. Hell Doug Demuro's used RR cost 7k in repairs over one year of ownership. Sounds like you like living at a workshop which to each their own. Go do it and stop talking about what you could do. Some of us value our time which is why buying a Lexus is a moot point.
@@ABAtrading And RR isn't the same RR every year? And the 45K-60Ks RR are just garbage. Have you seen the lag in infotainment system in the Evoque? And the Discovery Sport is a joke. RR don't start getting good until $70K+ (US)
Finally a Lexus and finally an RX! Class leading reliability and resale value. The trip odometer reset button is behind the steering wheel.
Ryan C those 2 are the only areas where it is class leading. It lags behind virtually everything in its class at this point.
2016 F15 N55 aren’t those the two most important things normal buyers are looking for though?
Sean Boyle not at all.
The whole reason people buy luxury suvs is for performance, practicality and technology. Its by far the slowest car in the class, with an embarrassing 6.9 sec 0-60. Even my 4 year old X5 with only 15 horsepower more can do 0-60 in over second faster. Lexus just doesn’t know how to make good performance engines anymore, every single one of their models lags behind the competition when it comes to performance.
For practicality, it’s close to the bottom of the class due to the sloping roofline which impedes rear headroom and trunk space.
And finally, for technology, it’s hilariously behind. Step into a new X5 or GLE, they look like they’re 10 years ahead of this car.
2016 F15 N55 I agree. If you’re looking for performance, Lexus isn’t obviously your first choice. I mentioned normal buyers though. I’m taking a reliable car that is gonna stay out of the shop over a 0-60 time any day of the week. I don’t plan on racing anyone to work or to the grocery store any time soon, and you shouldn’t either in your 4 year old X5 lol
@@johndoyle3232 Right, who cares about crazy HP numbers and times in SUVs. They are not meant for that anyways, people want space - luxury. But you'll never get a fun car to drive with an SUV.
That red interior is gorgeous! Crazy how you don't need to buy a top trim german car in order to get very similar luxury/performance these days
you gotta love japan!
Carson D depends on where you buy it! We’re just starting to get first hand Lexus dealerships in South America even though the market was big enough. Cost me about 7,000 a year
MaxSpeed what the hell are you taking about performance? It’s literally the slowest car in its class. Please don’t say stuff like that, you sound incredibly uneducated. The BASE MODEL 2020 Bmw X5 literally does 0-60 in over 2 seconds faster, which is embarrassing.
Carson D ..and have you owned one? I’m assuming not. I’ve test driven and owned many Audi’s, Mercedes and Lexuses, and I always find the BMWs to have the nicest interiors and the best driving dynamics. I’ve also owned many bmws and have never had any major problems with any of them.
Carson D I literally test drove an RX, an Audi Q7 and a Mercedes GLE 450 AMG back when I bought my X5. The interior quality in the X5 was better than any of those ones, with soft touch material on the very bottom of the door panel and soft material all over the center tunnel. The same cannot be said about the RX, GLE or Q7. And really, you owned a bmw but you can’t even name what model you had? Interesting. And plus, I didn’t get “lucky”. I’ve owned 3 bmws and have had no problems with any of them.
90% of comments about the intro
The other 10% are actually about the car 😂
Darksyne No, they’re not.
cwg73160 ok boomer
Darksyne Don’t get mad at me just because you don’t know how to use numbers correctly.
cwg73160 hey don’t get mad at me because my comment received over 50 thumbs up and yours didn’t 😂
Darksyne Mad about fake RUclips internet points? Lmao Are you gonna tell your mommy that other people liked your comment?
Well... the intro is a little bit better now, but I still prefer the old one :/
It was simple, clever and very unique. Bring it back!
Old intro much much better.
Same , old intro is better
me to also the trunk opening thing is lower so i hit my head on the newer one
I've got a 2018 RX 350 F-Sport. Sure, I don't have all the new tech upgrades but I can definitely confirm that this is a reliable vehicle. I've only taken it in for routine maintenance and in my 2 years of owning the vehicle have only experienced ONE technical issue that was really no fault of the vehicle and fixed itself the next time I started the car (one clogged/water covered parking sensor during a very heavy thunderstorm that was giving a false positive, so I just muted the alert sound for that short trip).
So do you love the car? What are your likes and dislikes?!
You still need to change the oil every 4000 miles. It does not mean skip maint.
7:34 the piano sound effects, that’s why I love your reviews! Random little edits make it good!
Props to Jakub and Yuri for trying to innovate with their intros. Sure, we're all nostalgic about the OG intro but give them some time to figure out something that works for both them and the community; it's only been a few weeks.
Saw this for the first time parked outside my house, and it was so beautiful!
I really like that they always look at each other for a quick second before they get in the car. Screams friendship to me. Hopefully they haven't grown to hate each other making this RUclips channel lol.
Nothing like waking up to TheStraightPipes
Patrick Price that’s what she said
Pause
No homo
😂
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I'm so glad ya'll got rid of the "Here's what to expect in this video"!! Love you guys!
The redundant Jakub stats at the very beginning made me rewind due to high music levels and lack of visual stats
Agreed. Why mention it twice?
John Spencer Mead just trying stuff ❤️
We appreciate your innovation! Your "Intuitive" test really shows the user experience that drivers can expect.
There's crap tons of reliability information on the internet. Why do people always ask car reviewers to talk about it? It's been done to death. You guys rock! Keep doing what you are doing - you do it well!
I actually love how you managed the introduction for this review. Short, informative and non-spoilerish :D
😘
Yes that was good. Great focus on the car.
I'm taking delivery of my 2016 RX350 today and couldn't be more hype to see this video notification!
The key to the track pad is to turn down the sensitivity in the settings. im surprised how many people don't know that. Also i don't want fingerprints on my screen. It's hardly a redesign either.
Also reaching across to touch, which might affect driving more.
it’s a refresh not a redesign you don’t have to change much to an already very good looking car
Wow, I had no idea you could turn down the sensitivity in settings for that “kinda glitchy” trac pad. My wife owns a NX300 and I can’t get used to the trac pad....until, maybe, I turn the sensitivity down a little. Did you turn the sensitivity down to make it less glitchy and random?
@@johncgr800 yes I did it makes it alot better.
Robert2423 thanks a lot. I’ve been looking to buy a 2020 RX350 but that track pad may have been a deal breaker. Now I will definitely reconsider. Do you own an RX350?
Finally I’ve been waiting for this video for ages, we have the same car in F sport but it’s hybrid .
My mom drove her old RX 330 for 15 years >150k miles, car is super reliable!
Sarsy that’s my goal for my 2010 RX! In July will be 10 years that I’ve had mine. So I’m going to go another five years with my RX girl and see where the adventure takes me👍🏻👍🏻
150k is nothing for a Lexus. I own a es and it's great
Lets just say...THIS IS THE BEST CAR CHANNEL ON RUclips!! Watched the first vid at 5k, will be here for 5mil!! Keep up the good work guys.
Love it!!! Finally more Lexus reviews!! LC 500 next??
Savagegeese did like 3 reviews on the LC. Highly recommend you watch those and follow them. They are amazing.
@@pnourani watched all of Savagegeeses videos on the LC, I just wanted to see Jakob and Yuri’s take on it for a while and I was not disappointed
You guys are getting better and better, you're now one of my favorite car channels on YT. Keep up the good work!
Ripping it to 300 on the satellite is something that I have now tried on my own car. That’s a fun test. My 2019 S4 excels at which with the control wheel for the MMI.
My mom just got this lexus, same color and red interior. I was driving it and it's really one of the best SUVs we've had. I had no idea about the button in the cupholder, gotta check it out lmao
Working at a Lexus dealership I was cringing when you couldn’t find the trip odo to the left of the steering wheel
To be fair, it is covered by the steering wheel when you are in the driving position
18:25
How much is this car
The fact it has a optical disc player still reminds me of who the car's market is for, my grandfather's 2006 LS430 still had a cassette player
Optical disc? You mean CDs? Yeah there are about a billion of them out there and the fidelity is three times your puny mp3. Mark Levinson sound system with mp3 or even worse satellite is a joke. A waste of space. CD/AAC or HD radio are the only sources for high end audio. Mp3 is for portability.
@@Fideliohoh ...calls himself a DJ and doesn't mention FLAC in the same sentence as high end audio. GTFO and learn your trade yo. The OP didn't even mention all those file formats, he only mentioned the hardware his 2006 model had installed.
I like your guys’ old style intro
Seems like a lot of people don’t understand the amount of effort that goes into making great content.
I just love Lexus! I would Love to get the 2020 RX 350 F sport, but there’s absolutely nothing wrong with my 2010 RX350. It looks and drives like it’s brand new still. It is holding up very well! As long as my RX keeps on truckin’, I just don’t need a new car right now😁👍🏻
I love these two guys! Your combined energy is second to none. I love clownish style of car review! In fact, you just won yourselves a subscriber! Actually, I’m watching this particular video the second time..., in entirety. Well done, guys!
They forgot to mention one cool feature of this car that it disappears from your driveway after midnight. It's called "Cinderella Mode". All you are left with is a Key Fob and a deductible to pay.
It's a standard feature on all Lexus SUVs. 😂
The touchpad is actually very good, idk why every reviewer give it a bad name. If u get used to it, its actually the best, better than bmw
psumiz - At this point I think reviewers think it instinctual to trash the touchpad but it’s not really that big of a deal when you use it, it works fine, and mostly you’re using the hard buttons around the car and voice commands for everything anyway
I have 0 problems with it as well
@@BlindMango that's the key though. If it's better to use other things then it's simply either bad or unnecessary. Either way, it's not a good thing.
I agree with what you say except to say it better than BMW... seriously? Think again
i actually think it’s easier than scroll wheels or touch screens while driving
When you guys said the price and optioned out price; the music was a bit loud. Killed what you guys were saying.
Just a suggestion.
This intro. Perfect. Blend of both new and old. And you kept the signature "were going for a drive" 👏👏👏
"omg, that felt reliable" i almost spit my food out
Lmao! I immediately got up and copped one at the dealer after I heard that
The time test for the trip odometer, radio, turning on the car, climate, phone, etc, really makes sense, really comprehensive too.
Yuri's t-shirt is amazing.
2:14 'too sexy for my shirt'
agreed - any idea where it's from?
I had a 2013 F-Sport and loved it.Now with not thing about it, bought a 2020 F-Sport with out a test drive. It is everything and more.I love it.
How do you like it so far? I want one but I’m doing my research.
17:39 i love how jacub pauses and waits for yuri to say canadian 😂😂😂
I enjoy your videos a lot!
The synergy between you guys is wonderful!!!
I just purchased mine yesterday and I’m in love with it
Zara Fashion what year?
The touchpad is great, I dont know why people dislike it
It’s useable, but easily the worst in class.
They aren't trained in how to properly use any of the vehicle features. Most reviewers aren't.
@@craigsmith4518 yeah cause they only borrow those car for a few days
They could change it to be the best
Its finicky at first but natural when you get used to it
Love the car, love the review, great job guys!
As far as the fuel economy goes, just mention the official EPA ratings the same way you mention the HP and torque. The ratings may not be 100% accurate, but it gives us a ballpark compared to other cars’ ratings.
Those numbers are shit. They're about as close to accurate as "F sport" is to being fast. Yeah, if you squint your eyes as it passes you on the street, this car looks somewhat quick. And yeah, if you round off the MPG number to the nearest 10 you might get a decent guess at the real world fuel consumption. But nobody needs either of those in a review, because everyone realizes that looking fast is subjective, and MPG depends on so many factors other than the car (city or highway driving, the driver's habits, even brand of fuel used and octane rating) that it's fairly useless to remark on.
As someone that still drives his 2001 RX300 can confirm, the chromed out windows are still cool. great for decals.
Please Bring Back The Original Intro !!
And Reduce The Music Volume ...
I have a 2002 RX300 with those tinted windows, runs like a clock. These are well made SUV's!
*S.U.Vs
I’ve had the 2019 RX F-sport for almost a year and it’s the best decision I could have ever made!!!
Your rich
@@mikesurong7315 You mean poor*
@@DexxonGamer77 I mean rich
You mean soccer mom
김동준 think you mean 25 year old that has a job that lets her buy what she wants :)
Really love the new car "intuitive" test: Start Up, Reset Trip Odo, Connect Phone, Eco mode, Drive, tune to 300, set Temp, & Lane keep/Cruise control. Hope you keep it up for 2020.
I fucking LOVE the RX looks in this F-Sport trim.
A perfect luxury SUV. This motor is the most reliable and strongest engine on the market. Hands down my fav normal luxury SUV on the market running since 2006. Wish Lexus made a high performance version of this tho ! Lexus is missing out on the high performance suv market. This is one of the few problem free cars on the market. Great buy.
Its funny how Toyota makes its own cars with mostly crap quality and lets its sub brand make really great cars combining affordability, reliability and quality in one
I wish they had all the stuff they do now back in 2017, like it’s legitimately so bad and they actually improved it now
The green eco light indicates that at that point in time the engine is operating in the most economic mode. It’s not an indicator that the car is in Eco mode
the 3.5L V6 and the Hybrid drive version from Lexus is bulletproof. This is the most reliable engine out there you can buy
Thanks guys. I think I have a more solid appreciation for a luxury suv for my family that I do believe is reliable due its drivetrain. now off to find a trip comfort and mpg review.
Great review! Just saying, the RX competes with the MDX, so how is it compared to that? Also the RDX is more of an NX competitor
Back to perfection without the cheezy audiotrack during the intro. You probably saved some money and raised the production value back to where its been. So pleased.
The music on the intro is too loud.
Thank you. Was just about to comment this. You can't hear the specs Jakub is rattling off.
Jakub, trip reset should be on the dash just left of the steering column. It's been in that spot for years now.
Yup. Same spot in my IS as well. It's a sad state of affairs when people just assume it is buried in the infotainment.
4:51 “She does car reviews with her dog” HAHAHAAHAH . Idk why I found that so funny
She really does. It's for chicks obviously. Seems she has enough cash to sponsor these guys. Her reviews are nothing compared to these though. She needs a Jacob and Yuri to help her.
I saw a couple videos and I facepalmed. It's obviously aimed at empty headed blondes.
sampsalol each demographic has the right to enjoy the type of reviews they find relevant. No need to facepalm
its how he said it
Really like the intuitive test, you guys should make that a regular feature on the channel! Take turns and see who can do it the fastest.
Once in a while maybe
@@TheStraightPipes Well of course you have to make time for really important stuff Yuri, like rewinding satellite radio back to the year 2004 when it was relevant :)
I just purchased this vehicle today, awesome SUV came with Michelin tires beautiful ride. I must say I was impress upon driving this vehicle. Thanks for sharing this video. great job.
When they tried to go new school they built a Supra damn 😂
5:41 if you go up a little and to the right a little you will find 3 small buttons. Two of them adjust the instrument panel _brightness_ up and down and the middle button resets the TRIP odometer. Thanks for a great review, guys.
i like the new intro compared to the old one just make the difference between ur voice and the music a bit closer in sound level
Contructive intro feedback: I appreciate that you guys are trying to change a bit, I'm all for it. BUT...
I personally prefer the older intro. A quick shot of the car, you two "going for a ride", then spitting out the model name and then sending it. I felt like this was "your thing".
Don't get me wrong, I'll still watch your videos no matter the intro, but amongst the three latest versions I noticed (the OG one, this one and the we saw a couple of times where you start with "What to expect in this review". I feel like the original one is the best.
Awesome video, cool camera shots. I agree. Lexus has unique styling. Been wanting one of these for years! really deep cupholders that are adjustable is a nice idea since a tall drink (like a large pop) would block access to those buttons underneath the radio
Those triple beam headlights are gorgeous
that interior looks amazing! Also playing the Cars...nice!
Guys, the old 2005 RX 330 has Touch Screen as well, 'cause that's the only way you can enter your destination on the Navigational System. I really don't understand why people always think it's the newer models that come with Touch Screen.
Stop the Hype,tell them about the maintenance cost. I do everything myself. This car is expensive to maintain, the dealership will skin you alive with cost .I have this exact model and I love it!
How is the fuel consumption like
@@GoldLegbaraits a v6 so its very thirsty
The huge Lexus grill was egregiously designed when it first came out. The refresh has refined and tempered the grossness to a nice level.
Good video and review of a super reliable car. I have the 2019 LC 500 which is just an amazing car. You guys should do a review on it.
I envy you. It’s easily the most beautiful car being sold today. Andie the lab did a review of it without the dog. 😐
Almost back to the old intro, I like this one, some photos and some stats. This one is a keeper!
Did not expect that from Lexus . Not much Bhp but not bad for first attempt .
My wife loves that car so i am waiting in copart for nice one to buy )))
SNG Garage Eng lmao
Greedy husband
Finally. A real car. Not a Kia or Hyundai. A true luxury car, it works, it holds value, it's great to drive and own. Nice job. But, boys, get over the touchscreen, work your phone while you drive versus the car and then you get to test crash avoidance.
I want the old Intro back
I love red interiors, that’s awesome.
Damn Lexus is killing it. This suv looks so sleek. I like everything about the design. I would not mind driving it
Love the detailed review and you showing what you talk about. It is like I am there with you looking at the things and getting a feel for it. The intro flows a lot better this way. Good job! There were two small sound issues though, intro music was overpowering the voiceover at the second half of the intro and Yuris voice was washed out at the end of talking about the cupholders. But I only notice that really because the rest is so good.
I love that analog clock.
this intro as an "eye catch" definitely works better than the preview intro. Always skip through any youtube vid intros that tease the vid itself
It makes me laugh that everybody wants the single infotainment screen and then complain that it has to split the screen.
Thank you Acura, for being smarter than that.
What did Acura do right exactly
I enjoy the 2 screens in my accord as well. But the new ones only have one now.
Yeah, Go for team work. You guys do awesome and very detailed car reviews. Great team.

Almost got me there 😂
They forgot to say "Here's why..."
No piano black in the interior? What in the world? I can’t believe my eyes. That’s actually heartwarming to see.
Oh my god that felt reliable! 10:45
Priceless.
There is gloss back surrounding the shift knob.
So you have a touchscreen, a touch pad, and a touchscreen phone. Sure you will never get in to an accident using any of those things while you are driving!! Smart!!
When are you guys reviewing their LC 500?
Love the real world tests guys! So many things that nobody else does. Well done 👏
I’m used to you guys say from naturally aspirated V8 ... and now it’s a naturally aspirated V6 so kind of weird for me 😂
I know you guys haven’t gotten an LC from Lexus yet but please push for it. I love your review style and Jakub’s launch reaction would be cool to see.
