My RX500 is amazing. All of the complaints are from the pov of having the car for a brief moment and testing it. Living with it is a totally different thing. You set it up how you want and let it be. No need to keep changing settings etc. So the infotainment system is a step ahead of where Lexus used to be. Drives beautifully and is very comfortable.
That's really how the vast majority of reviews are here on RUclips. Most reviewers only have the vehicles for a short amount of time, sometimes less than a day. Many of the things they complain about are perfectly fine after owning it for a couple of weeks and you're used to them. Sometimes when one has a tester for a week, they state something they didn't initially like but after using it, they like it and prefer it.
So true for any vehicle. Maybe the first few days you mess around with all the drive modes and dynamic setting , etc. Then I bet 95% of people never touch that stuff again. I know my Father in Law has never reconfigured his Range Rover SVR since it left the showroom floor.
Not sure how many of you remember that weird trend of wrapping your car in bronze/copper 10 years ago. About one out of 15 to 20 cars had that copper/bronze wrap. And I just knew even back then when it was popular, that it was a mere trend and good luck finding a second owner when you're done with it. THAT, is what this lexus is. If you're buying this car do NOT buy it in this paint.
This paint is UNREAL. I hate that we don't get this colourway on the RZ, but on the RX it's FANTASTIC. Also Lexus is slowly getting better each release and I'm happy for them.
Lexus is getting better each release? 😂😂😂😆🤣🤣🤣 No they aren’t. Their latest releases leave a lot to be desired. Models like the UX NX LX LS ES IS RX RC RZ and even the upcoming TX are mediocre at best
@@naveenthemachine their infotainments are still mediocre, but a big step up from what they were (because they were so bad). The new drivetrains are TBD and probably not going to be the staple of reliability that their previous ones were. Their interior materials as well as the overall build quality (for the models made in Japan) is still among the best out there though. Lexus obviously isn't for people who want the latest and greatest tech, but there are concessions you make purchasing from any manufacturer. For example, every BMW interior, while being subtle classy and lux, is a copy paste across the board and all of their vehicles look almost identical. Sitting inside an M4 or an X5, save for a few buttons you can barely tell the difference; there is no emotional connection to those cars because they lack individuality. You will get the best (by far) infotainment in the industry with that BMW, but the interior will wear poorly. It's not uncommon for BMWs to burn oil new or lightly used and their reliability can be hit or miss with near guaranteed repairs outside of warranty that will be fairly expensive. Get into a Lexus LC and it has one of the most unique, high quality interiors with superior build quality and reliability and an amazing tone from an engine that, while not the most powerful, is still more than anyone needs and an amazing driving experience. BMWs and the like are for indifferent people who don't care about whether their car has a soul.
@@sly9263 the LC I agree has an absolutely beautiful interior. Not arguing that. But that’s all it has. Most Lexus models on sale have interiors that are more Toyota+ grade than true Lexus. For example lexus has greatly reduced the wood trim. Most Lexus models have hard plastic on the doors compared to genesis or Lincoln or to an extent Jeep grand Cherokee especially in the summit reserve trim
@@naveenthemachine no luxury SUV out there is comparable to the GX at $57k MSRP; the nearest is a Defender that requires tier2 trim for $90k+. The ES is still probably one of if not the best sedan in it's class for price and quality. The RX is a family hauler in a sea of family haulers. The IS500 is a bargain buy at it's price range for it's interior quality. RC F is your only option for a JDM v8 sportscar with a beautiful interior, and while it's average at best in performance for it's class, it's more than enough power for the vast majority of prospective buyers who have the mental capacity to look past specsheets.
@@sly9263 there’s the grand Cherokee that’s comparable to the gx. Plus for the price of a performance Lexus spending a few K more on a bmw or Mercedes is really a drop in the bucket at this price point. Lexus is priced too close to the Germans and genesis while simultaneously offering nothing but a slow v8 or a fancy economy car that drives like one and not like a more expensive vehicle
We had a 2019 Rx f-sport and it got stolen out of our driveway in Stouffville, Ontario. That night 14 other Rx’s got stolen in my town. We loved it so much and bought another one lol. Our insurance actually gave us a better policy with a slightly higher rates, but only by 25 bucks.
25 bucks per year, per 6month policy period or per month? If per month, that's quite a bit regardless of how much it was previously. If per 6 months or a year, not a biggie. Of course I realize people's budgets vary. I'm just curious.
I like that you guys clarify when you find things later (like the wired CarPlay or the safety suite), instead of just claiming it's missing. We understand you get a limited time with these and the fact you put a cut in to let us know it actually does work in a specific way is nice, thanks. The fuel economy is pretty bad though. I know that's a tester and not reset for a trip, but 11l/100km (21mpg) is bad, that's what the F150 hybrid got!
to be honest, I absolutely loved the old thumbnails. The large cars, the huge text almost the size of the car, such great pictures in their fullest. So much character. Wanted to click your thumbnails more than anything else Still do, but not to that extent
I totally agree, it felt like something that was very identifiable as "The Straight Pipes" but now with the reaction faces it just looks like any other generic, click-baity, kinda disusting thumbnails 😖
The color of this RX is gorgeous. Had one as a loaner for like 2 weeks and I loveddd it. At frost the steering wheel controls were annoying but after 3 days or so, I got used to it. I thought they were just gonna be like capacitive touch, while technically they are, you can still physically click it down. I also thought the infotainment was really good. I really didn’t mind the lack of no buttons, cos the climate control stayed an at all tomes. Having to switch the drive modes in the infotainment is a little annoying but it doesn’t bother me as much, wish they stuck to the physical knob for that tho. I had a really positive experience with the RX as a loaner
I own the same infotainment with head up display in the NX and I love it. Takes a few uses to get used to the blank buttons, but once you do, it's awesome. My wife loves it too, even though it took her a month or so to get adjusted.
Had a 2016 stolen in Ottawa. Lexus said the 23’ now has 15s rolling codes for the fob/car to talk which makes theft more difficult. Quoted $1,600/yr to insure a 23’.
Drove one and i must say the cabin was very quiet and comfy. Plush soft touch luxury materials inside. Plus more sporty and zippy than the old lexus. New tech is awesome. Literally no hard plastic at all
I put 5500 kms on mine already. I like it a lot. The fuel economy is getting better and better as the engine is broken in. Owned a long list of competitors including the x3 m40i, macan s & turbo and gla45 and this has a lot of those beat in most categories.
Big savings on Lexus too! Lexus owners are more often women, are older, and enjoy a lower median annual household income. J.D. Power data shows that 42% of Lexus RX owners are female (vs. 38% for the segment), that their median age is 65 (vs. 58 for the segment), and that their median annual household income is $155,303 (vs. $184,248 for the segment).
What is your long term mpgs then after it's broken in? I know they had a tester that gets beat up and not broken in, but their advertised 11l/100km (21ish mpg) is pretty bad for a hybrid 4 popper. If you're careful on the throttle, you get that in some full size trucks these days.
The TX is already DOA before we even see it It’ll still be based on a Toyota Camry platform but be significantly overpriced. They’re pulling a Cadillac XT6 move here I see
The front grill looks a little strange since it's colour of the paint of the car. I think I'd get it in all black if I had the money to hide the grill more. I honestly love the car. One thing about Lexus is that you have to play around with it infotainment a lot because its hard to understand in the beginning
You definitely can change drive modes while staying in Apple car play I have an rx500. It’s in the climate control area of the screen in the centre there are 2 buttons hit the on the right and it should pop up your drive modes and other options I saw in the review your tester did that too I guess you didn’t notice.
You can custom program one of the right steering wheel buttons to change drive mode with one click. And really, most people don't need to change drive modes while driving anyway. When you leave your house, going to the grocery store with five stoplights, normal is fine. If going on freeway trip, maybe sport. No need to change while driving for "most" people, using common sense.
I saw this same one driving to work a few weeks ago sitting at a light. Almost broke my neck. My moms Favorite color is copper....i normally see them in plain white.
My 2019 RX Got stolen, but I loved it so much I bought another one in 2021! It’s a fantastic car and now I just park it in my garage. My insurance actually went down and they were great about it, but at the time stolen vehicles weren’t really a thing. The night my car got stolen, 13 other rx’s got stolen in my area. They really cleaned up lol 😅
In 2019 my next door neighbours had their rx stolen and they thought I did it because I had mentioned once before that I love the Lexus rx so much and I wish I could get one for free
I’m feeling some type of way that Jacob didn’t know what Wakanda is. And couldn’t wait to take that shirt off!!! I’ve never seen the movie and know what Wakanda is…
170 miles on my odomoter, sport mode full time; so far avg 23.7 MPG. By comparison, my 2002 SportCross with V6, and 1000 lbs lighter, and 100 less horsepower, can barely do 21 MPG.
I believe Toyota Honda Acura and Lexus talk to each other. I believe they work together. Over the years I’ve seen so many similarities I’m convinced they advise each other about their cars.
Slightly confused. Why is is better to have the steering wheel button control icons on the gauge rather than on the HUD where it’s more on your eye line? Great colour.
@TheStraightPipes Should have mentioned this reasoning in the video. The polarized glasses/sunglasses issue is across the board on most makes though for HUDs. The pads work with the HUD. On non HUD versions you get marked buttons. If you think about it, what's used most is the cruise function on the right pad. I rarely use other functions found on the pads after a while.
My 2021 RX350L insurance went up a little bit with renewal, due to a lot of stolen Lexus SUVs in Thornhill/Maple area. And, for sure, it's never get parked on driveway.
Honestly I’m not a huge fan of how Lexus has decided to get rid of a lot of the physical buttons I like the now previous generation RX350 I also hate that beeping when you look away for a few seconds crap I hope you can turn that off because it would drive me insane
@@ProjectM97 I think that’s when the TX will come in, Lexus tried to compete with 3rd row seating last Gen with the RX L and they did very poorly in sales due to the joke of a 3rd row, the TX based on the grand highlander hopes to introduce a proper 3rd row luxury crossover fighter
you do get a FULL list of stations. ALL Channels. press View button twice to get ghost image of your 500h (see through) Older drivers may want to verify their parking spot. Suspension doesn't have Sport +, that activates your suspension. F Sport has Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) HUD and programmable buttons take getting used to. SOS button is the stolen vehicle tracking feature. Wish is matched the 350h for mpgs of 37; passing gas stations is nice.
The color is gorgeous, but if I were to own one I would go with something more subtle/basic like white or blue. I personally think it's a good car, but I just can't wrap my head around paying for all those features just for them to cause headache cause they're hard to use
The MDX Type S is quicker, handles better, sounds better, cheaper and has 3-rows of seating. Plus it has real mechanical massaging seats, not the fake inflatable balloon stuff.
Not sure if answered. But the “fax machine noise” is the wireless charger looking for the optimal area to wirelessly charge your phone. Ultimately fixing the “my phone needs to be in this exact spot to charge” issue. My ES350 has it and I’ve never personally used wireless charging in cars until my current one.
I've been complaining for a few years how car color choices have gotten so boring and generic. So I'm glad to see this very unique color. It's refreshing. I'm not sure I like it though. I'll reserve judgement until I see it in person. I'm mostly surprised to see so many comments saying they love it, considering how popular boring ass black has been for so long. I have a hard time picture guys driving around in a pink SUV.
And for the record RX 5 Gen is coming with new keyfobs starting march 2023 production. New keys have ever changing codes and should be less easy to steal the car. At least in Europe and claimed by Lexus.
I don’t know but, to my eyes, and also excluding the front grill since it’s a bit controversial, I think this looks way better than the old one because of the proportions. Acura did the same thing with their current MDX. I think we should thank the Genesis brand for bringing some serious competition
@@ibrahimbashir6634 LOL. It’s your fanboy comment that’s getting called out. The vast majority of us can quickly pick apart your comment and show you just how wrong you arw

press View button twice to get ghost image of your 500h (see through) Older drivers may want to verify their parking spot.
Suspension doesn't have Sport +, that activates your suspension. F Sport has Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS)
HUD and programmable buttons take getting used to.
SOS button is the stolen vehicle tracking feature. Wish is matched the 350h for mpgs of 37; passing gas stations is nice.
No tuning knob and so many steps to get to all the channels. I am an older driver and I don’t like egg mode
Literally just saw this color in person!
1:58 yo stop snapping at me lol 😂
I was thinking that too 😂😂😂
The color is gorgeous, but if I were to own one I would go with something more subtle/basic like white or blue. I personally think it's a good car, but I just can't wrap my head around paying for all those features just for them to cause headache cause they're hard to use
Love my Lexus, but the new 24 Lincoln Nautilus is pouring on the luxury and the screens are incredible.
The front hood hammer head look reminds me of the Toyota Supra front hood.
We’re a little snappy today lol
The Rhett and Link of car reviews.
The previous gen looks way better. Don't fall for the new car hype.
The MDX Type S is quicker, handles better, sounds better, cheaper and has 3-rows of seating. Plus it has real mechanical massaging seats, not the fake inflatable balloon stuff.
It also gets 15-20 mpg
The CX-90 is quicker, cheaper, handles better, sounds better and has 3 rows.
@@cultofmodernism8477 the Honda CR-X also quick.
@@silentags or even 21mpg.
@@cultofmodernism8477 oh, you in the market for one?
Best paint? What about the under body rust protection?
I love the sound yuri cracks the pedal
I don’t get the complaints with the steering wheel buttons. It takes a day or two to get used to them and that’s that.
You can program the drive modes in the steering wheel.
Like this one, especially in black.
MAKE CARS COLOURFUL AGAIN
No cap my Nintendo DS was this color. So swag.
Bro that intro beat is HARD AF. Did not expect that 😂
Jacob was real sassy and gassy in this episode lol
Not sure if answered. But the “fax machine noise” is the wireless charger looking for the optimal area to wirelessly charge your phone. Ultimately fixing the “my phone needs to be in this exact spot to charge” issue. My ES350 has it and I’ve never personally used wireless charging in cars until my current one.
I legit thought this was one of Yuri's masterful thumbnail edits, but the paints legit. 😮
Looks so good in that color.
In brampton someone tried to steal my gf’s mom’s Raptor off her driveway 3 times, failed, and settled for my 2013 mazda 3 with 210000km on it lol
I seen this Lexus on the street and knew I wanted to know more about it so thank you for this lol
'stop snapping at me, it's really annoying'...wow, such attitude!
Will you guys also be getting the 2023 Civic Hybrid in Canada? I'd love to see a review on that.
Hey Yuri, if you ever want to start a channel where you won’t get treated like crap, let me know!
My insurance did nothing! Lol my RX got stolen in Toronto, RX F Sport series 3.. Ghana loves it
Your complaints are really valid.
I've been complaining for a few years how car color choices have gotten so boring and generic. So I'm glad to see this very unique color. It's refreshing. I'm not sure I like it though. I'll reserve judgement until I see it in person. I'm mostly surprised to see so many comments saying they love it, considering how popular boring ass black has been for so long. I have a hard time picture guys driving around in a pink SUV.
I didn't know "sexy panties" was a car paint color. Thanks Lexus!
Living in Florida, I will admit that we do have to switch from drag tires to summer tires for a few months during rainy season.
I knew it
Thankfully you can turn all the babysitter stuff like driver attention monitor OFF in settings
And for the record RX 5 Gen is coming with new keyfobs starting march 2023 production. New keys have ever changing codes and should be less easy to steal the car. At least in Europe and claimed by Lexus.
How is it comparing with Acura MDX Type S? Which one would you get?
MDX is far superior in every regard
I don’t know but, to my eyes, and also excluding the front grill since it’s a bit controversial, I think this looks way better than the old one because of the proportions. Acura did the same thing with their current MDX. I think we should thank the Genesis brand for bringing some serious competition
7:49 do the fax machine sounds go on forever 😂
It goes a bit. Then stops
I’ll gladly take Jacob’s Wakanda shirt off his hands if he seriously doesn’t care for it
Simply the best in class
Um yeah no it’s not fanboy😂
Better luck next time
@@naveenthemachine lmao y do u get jealous every time i comment !!! 😂😂😂
Be man !! Be strong !!
@@ibrahimbashir6634 LOL. It’s your fanboy comment that’s getting called out. The vast majority of us can quickly pick apart your comment and show you just how wrong you arw
@@naveenthemachine don't get jealous !! I pray that ur ideal companies kia/hyundai may reach the success level and dominion of king Toyota/Lexus !!!... xD
Its gonna take a while maybe whole eternity
Best in class with a turbo 4 banger and a hybrid system that still gets outran by the base model Q5 😂 So much for that “performance”.
Lane change assist sounds like you need to start the lane change and it helps you finish it, that is how all the systems work in Germany (by law they arent allowed to do it by them self anymore)
That’s why lane change assist is inferior to lane centering
Nice wrap rose gold love it
