This is an EV for Lexus loyalists as it is not competitive. Lack of range, charging limitations and slower onboard charger are disappointing. The instrument cluster looks like it belongs in a car from 10 years ago. This is nice enough as a second car for around town, but for the money it should be more. Toyota knows all this so either they don’t know how to make a better EV or they don’t care.
so you prefer the instrument clusters in Teslas or Benz that look like tablets being stuck in the dashboards ? you have really terrible sense of clusters LOL
Obviously they don’t care lol, you think they don’t have the resources and Japanese talent to make a good one if they did? The world is not reado for EVs, other companies are rushing and there’s a good chance it will backfire.
I'm glad they added heaters to the radar logo. Mine stops working with the slightest amount of ice, and there's no warning. It will be following the car ahead of me just fine, and then all of a sudden it starts accelerating to full speed because it doesn't "see" a car anymore. Eventually with a lot of ice a yellow warning light comes on, but it stops working long before that.
1. This entire platform (Toyota/Lexus/Subaru variants) is half-baked. Clearly Toyota was planning to wait to bring an EV to market but got spooked by the market, panicked, and rushed these things out. That said, Toyota and Subaru are both brands with very loyal customer bases so this may be enough to keep some of their buyers in the fold. 2. One pedal drive is one of the best things about driving an EV. Once you get used to it, it makes everyday driving significantly more effortless. 3. On the other hand the last thing I want to be concerned about when I'm driving my car is constantly managing its regen, so the systems with column paddles like this one and Hyundai/Kia's are a hard pass for me personally.
@@narutobroken Depends on the platform. On some, you adjust the regen to different levels by hitting the paddle. Or others you get the regen to kick in by holding the paddle, then it goes back to whatever its baseline behavior is when you release the paddle.
@@MMOchAForPrez I suppose it can be to impatient or inattentive drivers. Depending on the particular system, it does make the car brake earlier and more gradually, which I can see might be annoying to drivers who are used to staying in the throttle later and braking more forcefully near their intended stopping point. And I think the behavior of the brake lights of the Hyundai/Kia/Genesis EVs under regen is problematic and borderline dangerous. The TechnologyConnections (?) channel did a good deep dive into this issue.
@@MLHunt Cars that don't drive the way other cars do tend to upset the way traffic moves. If you don't keep your foot on your pedal at the exact same speed, your car slows down more than others. Sometimes the brake lights don't turn on, sometimes they do. Brake lights cause traffic congestion sometimes because people can be too cautious when they see them. Not noticing somebody is slowing down faster than normal because their brake lights don't turn on causes people to brake harder than normal and that causes a chain reaction with the people behind them. EVs driving behavior is abnormal. That's all there is to it. I stopped watching Technology Connections when he decided we needed amber in turn signals because he finds it difficult to discern a brake light from a tail light from the driver seat of his little Nissan Figaro. It was a ridiculous obsession that is solved by just paying attention to cars around you.
Billing for time spent charging is like going to Costco or Walmart and getting charged for how long you spend in the self-checkout. That crap should be criminal..
I think it's to discourage people from leaving their cars in those spots for longer than necessary. But I agree, it's fucked. Almost as fucked as making people pay for download speed, and putting a cap on quantity of data downloaded.
@@OlTrev There are much less predatory ways to ensure people don't loiter around too much that don't involve changing what people are actually paying for. The 'pay for time' scheme is just a money grab from companies in an industry that hasn't seen much in the way of actualized competition. The danger is that this horrible kind of pricing scheme will become normalized, and cause EVs to be less economically viable than traditional vehicles. If anything this is even more screwed up than data caps, speed tiers, and even subscription based options packages because you're lead to believe you're paying for one thing with a fairly predictable price (IE electricity from the grid) when you're really being charged for the privilege of sitting around being unproductive. Of course, the charging rate is designed to be as slow as possible so that you'll be tempted to do things that make you lose track of time or spend even more money at the new 4-in-1 Restaurant minimart massage parlor and dildo shop they're inevitably going to erect in the spaces that used to be for regular parking.
im hoping once Tesla's connector goes mainstream (and thus opens up Superchargers), that will push all those other stations like EA/EC to actually get onto fixing and maintaining chargers. Its kinda like going to a gas station that has all 5 of its pumps always working vs one that partially works or might pump really slow.
In Japan, You can actually ask the Lexus customer support center to look for and make a reservation for restaurants or hotels while driving (you can also ask them to find ones that match your needs by telling them the details). and they will guide you there automatically through the infotainment system's GPS. I dont know if they do the same level of services in other countries as well.

This is a no name budget washing machine with all the character of a budget washing machine! No one in their right mind would buy this heap. Its a rental budget box at best. Savage Geese nailed their critique of this ghastly car, well worth tuning in.
I ordered this back when it was first announced (last may 2022, i think) and i live in the GTA. Lexus Canada decided not to stock them outside of QC and BC for now and they won't even let me buy it with a temp permit when QC is flooded with them. They're estimating the wait to be ankther 12months at least
As much as I love EVs, I'll stick to self charging/plug in hybrids for the moment. My Honda Civic e:hev gets me 770km on a full tank when driving on motorways.
I work a Lexus Dealer, we have availability of these cars right now, I think we have around 10-12 in stock. And they start at 67,000$ (and are admissible for Quebec provincial EV rebates)
Nice review, I love the and own a LexusRX (hybrid). Super comfortable, a joy to drive, and sporty enough for my purposes (F-Sport with Suspension Package). However I will never buy a fully electric car Lexus or not. I want range, dependability, all season usability, and I want to go to the beach on occasion.
Odd, because my 2023 Mini SE (little 28Kwh battery) charges at home (level 2) easily overnight no matter what time of year. Slower in winter for sure, and less range, too, but in the morning it's full and ready to go. I love my EV.
Acura has drive by wire system on TLX, it's not a yoke, but steering wheel you can only do 1 turn. It works really nicely, I'm glad they didn't put a yoke on it
I feel like this is sorta the luxury car manufacture, of how an Italian pizza shop owner feels when his customer orders pineapple on pizza. They agreed to do it but are trying to make you miserable enough to wish you hadn't. Not enough range, short on power, expensive, I think the styling is odd. My Chevy Bolt that costs under 25k with tax credit has more range. Toyota needs to get serious about electric or just not bother.
8:15 so those older style EA chargers will be replaced and the newer gen is WAY better ive been getting consistently over 150kw on my ioniq 5 since they installed them and have hit 230 multiple times while others were charging. It’s getting better
You forgot about my venza hybrid the first toyota built stargaze roof lexus RZ 450E was second toyota products built stargaze roof nice RZ 450E thanks for sharing your video take care bye from milton Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
The range with electric cars is just not enough. My car on average has a range of 370 miles and I feel like I’m at the gas station constantly. I do drive a lot but I can’t imagine having to recharge constantly. The ranges needs to be in the 450-500 mile range
@@EvanHBogle Ok, but if you live in a cold climate you're losing range, sometimes up to 50 % or more. So If I drive 300 miles a day and my battery is only rated for 300 in ideal conditions, am I supposed to be satisfied with 100 - 150 miles?
2:012:032:06 this feature should be available at least as an option in every electric vehicles. in my opinion one pedal driving makes driving really boring.. so the option to control and manipulate regen real time will be so good for me.. for example add a 3rd pedal.. and the more you press, the more regen.. something like that..❤❤❤
I have had good experience with Flo charging stations so far. I've DC fast charged my EV6 once at Petro Canada (Barrie, ON) and got over 180kW speed as well.
I don't care about the yoke all that much. But I am interested in the variable drive by wire technology saving hand over hand maneuvers at lower speeds.
The infiniti has some sort of automatic failsafe that engages the physical connection in the event of a power loss. However, I fail to see how that is any better bc it's still relying on a system to function correctly when power is available. The Lexus has no physical backup. Idk, it's all a bad idea.
They've admitted that many times, and for all those very compromise reasons stated in this video. EV is just not ready for prime time. For example, not recommended for road trips. With the exception of the Lucid Sapphire with its 400+ range, none of them are road trip capable.
This is a car for people who have had Lexi for for years and want an EV, doesn’t do a lot miles, doesn’t care about rapid charging speeds, just wants a car that’s a Lexus EV.
Charging by the minute is such nonsense. When I sent an email I was told the reason why charging per kWh is not allowed is because "It ismportant to make sure that consumers are protected against loss due to inaccurate or unreliable measurement". However, when you are paying per minute for charging advertised at 100kW and it only charges at 40kW. Protecting consumers there isn't important apparently.
220 miles with 150 kW max charging speed is honestly pathetic for a car at the price they’re asking. This basically a 2nd car for a wealthy family or main car for a retiree who doesn’t really drive anywhere
This thing makes my ID.3 look good. It's half the price, has more range and you can actually charge it more than twice a day. The two fast charges a day kills this thing for anything but a 2nd car. Even in Europe where distances aren't as far it's still so much nicer to stop for 15 minutes to charge, pee, grab some food and go for maybe an hour and a half to the next charger rather than sit and wait for your car to hit 80-90% because that's one of your two allowed charges of the day.
Toyota is being too conservative with EVs. Tesla lets you fast charge any time without limitations, yet give 8 years of battery warranty. Also using a very small screen for gauge cluster is laughable. It’s 2023 and it’s a luxury brand, for godssake!
Perhaps you haven't been paying close enough attention, but lots of companies have features the others rivals seem to lack. For example, your cell phone may have a high refresh rate of 120hz display, but what they don't tell you is that it also drains your battery much faster. Be an educated consumer, especially when one company appears to have some great advantage over all the others. Its part of the Buyer Beware caveat.
that range is scary low. once you only charge to 80% you are leaving he house with about about 155 miles of range. good for a daily commute but not going around town on a Saturday and forget about a road trip. Very disappointed with Lexus.
All the high tech stuff is fine but I would like to know if these new cars have Homelink to operate our garage doors and any other secured underground parking because I do not want little plastic boxes clipped on to my visor. They look like crap and they are also a security risk. All a person needs to do is break a window on your car, grab the door opener and they can easily get inside your building. With Homelink, when the car is off there is no way for someone to steal your opener.
Still not sold on all electric cars. To many limitations. They can tell you all they want that they can replace the I.C.E cars, but as of now, they cant. They can tell you it saves the environment, they don't, because by the time they DO, the battery is shot. These are the same people that tell us the economy is doing great. Believe them if you want, I guess.

All the high tech stuff is fine but I would like to know if these new cars have Homelink to operate our garage doors and any other secured underground parking because I do not want little plastic boxes clipped on to my visor. They look like crap and they are also a security risk. All a person needs to do is break a window on your car, grab the door opener and they can easily get inside your building. With Homelink, when the car is off there is no way for someone to steal your opener.

Yea I just realized that. They never mentioned it. Probably because of this swoopy design.
I couldnt care less about this vehicle, but I watched the whole thing because Straight Pipes.
This Lexus styling is sooooooo dated.

Still not sold on all electric cars. To many limitations. They can tell you all they want that they can replace the I.C.E cars, but as of now, they cant. They can tell you it saves the environment, they don't, because by the time they DO, the battery is shot. These are the same people that tell us the economy is doing great. Believe them if you want, I guess.
when can we expect an audi q5 review ?
Nothing could better demonstrate how Canada isn't ready for full EV adoption than the charging situation
It’s even worse here in the Philippines. People are just looking into hybrids now
