So many haters. Just purchased the 2024 rx350 premium plus in white with macadamia nut interior last weekend. I’ve only ever driven British or German vehicles. I own a bmw 4series and I’m coming out of a 2021 Range Rover velar lease. As a brand new car, thing was constantly in the shop or having some kind of technical glitch. It drives like a tank compared to the buttery smooth and quiet experience of driving the Lexus RX. I don’t care of v6 or 4. It’s an extremely luxurious experience and very very fast. The interior is absolutely stunning. The technology is off the charts. I can literally talk to this car and tell it what I wanted to do and it will oblige. It even tells me jokes if I ask it to keep hating, but this thing is a masterpiece.
How ironic, I purchased a 2024 RX 350 F Sport and love it. I traded in my 21 M440i convertible, which was perfect in so many ways but needed more travel storage for luggage. I just wish it had the BMW technology I let go. I love the 14" Lexus screen, but wish it had the spin console dial instead of the touch screen. I detest the only place I can access a COMPASS via the annoying / distracting heads-up display (HUD). It can only be lowered so much. Oh well...
Great review and very informative. My wife just got her RX350h and is in love with it. What we hear is the white color hybrid with the lighter color interior are rare and in high demand. Not bargaining with the dealer for these high demand SUVs. In California we have to wait to get these cars if you want a lot of the options.
I really enjoyed this review. I purchased the 2024 rx Hybrid fully loaded in December. My 4th RX and this one is the best with one exception, None of the reviewers are mentioning the TERRIBLE RESERVE GAS PROBLEM that this car has. It comes with a 17.8 gallon tank but you can only put 14 gallons in the car. Lexus said it keeps 4 gallons in reserve that you can't use, so instead of getting about 560 miles, you're only going to get about 420 miles per tank. Lexus refuses to fix this. I wish someone would have told be this before I spend 70k on the car. Unfortunately I will have to say DO NOT BUY.
When you mention options, it would be helpful if you added the price of the option> For example, how much additional is the Mark-Levison sound system, etc. Enjoyed the review.
Liking mine, too. Killer looking car however, I’m a little underwhelmed and find the infotainment system a little hard to manage while driving. It would be great if they could put more of the control for that on the steering wheel. Maybe if I get used to it the more I use it it will be easier but it’s impractical to “easily “ use a touchscreen while driving. What are your thoughts on that aspect of this vehicle? Overall, I’m very happy with the purchase though.
I’ve had mine a year now, 2023 350h premium plus, and am finally getting the hang of the screen. It always bounces right as I try to touch an icon. However, you can talk to the car. I’ve had it help bring up the screen to adjust treble and bass by asking nicely. It will navigate the screen a bit for you so you don’t need to spend too much time looking at it while driving.
yes! that is the only thing I do not like. The screen is almost too big, I know people will laugh! It is a lot to look at one time when you're going through music and that type of stuff but as far as temps and such it is easier overall, I love this vehicle just going forward I could get by with a smaller screen as I had with my NX300.@@jpgiuliotti
We have a 2016 and 2020. Love the v6 power. We have a deposit on a 2024 hybrid. I drove the turbo model and felt like it was less powerful than my current. Have not driven the model we have on order. Trusting what all the reviews say about the hybrid acceleration.
I love my Luxury 350 RX h. Yes, a little more engine noise but feel lots of power. I had a 2016 and a 2020. RX. I get minimally 33-37 mpg. Road trip to California from Colo., got on occasion…….44 mpg. Very very comfortable ride and pleasure to drive. For my needs, the 350h is a good choice.
New body design. Updated logo to spell out Lexus in the rear rather than the L logo and they got rid of the mouse pad thing to use the info tainment. I have the 2023…love it but there is definitely engine noise for the normally quiet Lexus😢 I probably would not have purchased it had I really paid attention during my test drive

Agree. I can't understand why RUclips is full of dudes rallying luxury crossovers off road and critiquing them if they don't feel sporty and aggressive. Most people considering a luxury crossover just want something comfortable and quiet.

@@MegaBlessing2011Congrats! Our RX is a 2012 that we bought new and it's been a sensational car. Twelve years and 120K miles later, It is quieter and smoother than some of the new cars we've test driven. We're shopping for new primarily for the infotainment and connectivity features. Our default choice was to buy a new RX, however, we nixed that idea because while Lexus has long been the champion of luxury and reliability, we question if that will continue with a Turbo4 in a car the weight of the RX. We considered the smaller lighter NX with the same powertrain as the RX, but have since moved on to looking at other brands that still carry 6 cylinder power. Good luck with your RX. Toyota/Lexus knows that their reliability credentials are on the line with these major powertrain shakeups.
