The new Lexus is a well refined car. It stands out well during the part 2 climb. ❤
Better than Mercedes GLE in terms of design, safety, technology and others. Even both like Mercedes GLC and Lexus RX350 also not much differences, Lexus RX350 also more worth to buy than Mercedes GLC in terms of safety, design, technology, comfort and others. Lexus also more reliable than Mercedes
Yes totally agree ! GLC is SUV new learner 😜
GLS, GLE and GLC (sold in Australia) are Made in USA and they are notorious for breaking down even within the 3 year warranty period. I would stay away from these German (so called) luxury vehicles
Most importantly, the Lexus is CBU Japan. Built quality of Made in Japan Lexus/Toyota is second to none
You're right. I'm M'sian American Lexus Toyota rule the roost here in the US top notch quality and reliability by Consumer Reports and JD Power & Associates. Now of course Tesla is threatening. But you can't match Lexus and Toyota. Owners of these brands are looked upon as being highly intelligent, responsible and trustworthy.
The car really looks luxurious . Based on the video it drives smooth and handles the corners well ! Great video ! Thank you Uncle ! Really enjoyed it !
Fully agree and support turbo charging to enhance benefits of cheaper road tax all the way.....
You can never go wrong with a top of the line Lexus!
Miles ahead of GLE and X5. Some more Lexus you can buy and drive for 10 years no issue. With conti after 5 year, everything break down lel. Make sure you have car towing friend if drive conti over 5 years.
Mercedes reliability is really worst compare to BMW and Lexus. Besides, GLE already definitely lose to X5 and Lexus RX350 in terms of everything, even Lexus RX also much better than Mercedes GLC300 CBU, both cars have no much different prices but Lexus RX350 is also more reliable, also wins everything in terms of safety, technology, comfort and design compare to Mercedes GLC300
Understood that conti cars are always unreliable as japanese luxury cars. But BMW reliability is improving and almost par as Lexus. Even Audi reliability is improving better and almost reaching at Lexus Level too. But of course, Mercedes wasn’t and placed at the least position
reliability, yes. But not sure if it can match the x5 in terms of handling. A two plus tonner x5 can feel very light on its feet hehe.
Both BMW X5 and Lexus RX are reliable cars. Based on specs, features and technology, both BMW X5 and Lexus RX are also not much difference since both are good but different designs but looking good. Anyways….
If you want comfort, get Lexus RX
If you want performance and handling, can consider X5
Totally Agreed
Turbocharging is the way to go…. Toyota/Lexus should do more turbo models.
it did already but limited to some models due to cbu cost
Probably in the next few years or so, they aren't immediately jumping on the Bandwagon of Turbocharged Cars/SUVs/Pickup Trucks like some of many other Manufacturers did in the last few years
thank you Uncle. superb and awesome review as always 👍🏻💪🏻
Dream Car RX 😆😬
Haha, fully agreed. driving not too fast but wanted to stay at fast lane and got angry if being flash highlight. Not all but quite a number of these drivers on Malaysian roads
Yes Most of the drivers still barbarian, this situation will occur at northern state of Selangor. I experienced it 😅
More of intro like this please, really relaxing to watch with the good music combination.
This car deserve to be treated nicely! It is a nice car!
Please go watch a showroom walkaround video. That might be more suited for you.
For such a beautiful car, the engine bay looks like my storeroom.
Those engine covers on German sedans are notorious for causing plastic parts to go brittle and ultimately leaks coolant and oil.
Hi uncle saya hadir nak tengok video uncle ni 😊 uncle dua minggu lepas saya ada pergi ke pameran kereta Malaysia Autoshow 2023 Maeps Serdang memang puas hati lah dapat tengok kesemua kereta-kereta di situ 👍🏻
around RM500K full of safety features
Can feel the handing is really so so only
So much tech in Lexus RX
Huhu my dream car uncle
Seems like Lexus own employees did not really understand their own car, can't manage to answer any questions directly...
Numbers are hard to remember. But there is a reference. Nobody can remember everything, so please do not be too judgemental.
they're not passionate enough about the cars. Feel sorry for Lexus employer...:(
Think that in the Asian community, it’s not the numbers that sells. Even mainland Chinese salesman in Australia don’t know the engine power/torque and dimensions of the vehicles by heart
Its based on TNGA-K platform. RM468K is a way better buy than the X5 which have a tendency to break down all the time
Depends on your taste. Yes agree that Lexus RX is good choice but X5 also another better choice and also reliability also improving than before while GLE is one of the worst reliability as you mentioned but too expensive than X5 and Lexus RX
Depends on whether you can maintain a German fully at the SC or your local " I know someone who can do it cheaper " workshop.
Noisy? Bring back v6!
i absolutely love the looks of it it looks beautiful in this colour 💖😁😍
Love RX model
28:10 did anyone notice Mr HP Tan Praise The Lord or praise Mr YS Khong driving? 😂😂😂
I looked, but could not see! Where got?
@@YSKhongDrivingplease watch again at minute 28, 10 seconds, Mr HP Tan crossing himself at the back seat lolx
How was the drive as compare with Mazda CX8 2.5T ? Which car handling is better ?
This RX is not so much about power, but about luxury and quietness and comfort, and lifestyle, but it does have an 8 speed transmission, and 279 PS, and 430Nm of torque.
I guess Mazda CX-8 2.5T power and handling wise is comparable to RX350. Hence Mazda CX-8 2.5T is really a value buy. If one is seeking for more luxury/ comfort feel, then definitely choose RX350. 😊
Sorry to say that Mazda compare to RX is different Class 🤣🤣🤣
Mazda CX8 can’t able to compare with Lexus RX. Both cars have different categories. Yet, CX8 is already dated inside compare to Lexus RX
CX8 is an old technology
Wow, uncle u drive so fast ! RX Boleh Tahan tak 😜😜😜
Some parts of the video may be sped up for dramatic purposes.🤗
I heard that Lexus Malaysia also offers Hybrid variant of this new-generation RX.
Will you be doing a Genting run of it as well in the future? :O
If we can get hold of a car.
Half a mil for a Lexus, 1 mil for 2 Lexii! Haha, canggih lah uncle, yr generation’s England!
But this car more affordable, even is CBU
The uncle next to you is so annoyed. And even record the road???
He is NOT uncle, hahaha. And he was recording his own footage for hos own video. He is from another publication, and we are friends.
hahaha... Janggut and misai pun tak shave... Memang annoyed😂🤣🙈
Not going up Genting boring lah, cannot test the real performances of the vehicle.
Too bad that Lexus Malaysia is not offering RX500H, RX450H+ PHEV and RX350H which is the most popular variant in AU
Stay tuned. More models will be released from time to time.
Can you make a video and compare it to the previous gen RX300 F Sport please? It seems the previous gen engine and NVH are better!
The previous RX300 had 238 PS. The RX350 in this video is 279 PS
More powerful or just a bit ?
What’s the music for the intro part?
WOW! opening music so dramatic.
Camry or altis will use this engine soonest
LEXUS ❤👍
In the stability and controls department, how is it compared to a Subaru XV?
This one has 279PS 430Nm of torque.
Subaru XV is a B-Segment crossover
@@YSKhongDriving that's the power and torque... How about the stability and controls? Is the XV's AWD superior to RX350? Or the other way around?
@@yslee1401 I would have specifically asked about the segments. But I was just looking at the stability and control of Subaru XV's AWD system as compared to Lexus RX350.
If the UX ditch the underpowered NA engine and plonk in a turbo charged power unit then i will consider its cross hatchback. i prefer small hatch back size car...the prev t harrier using this turbo 2.4 but they changed to a NA in the new model, what a waste
Any big difference between this and toyota harrier
Of course. This engine has heaps more power
Uncle most people who drove luxury version without fsport says the car tend to be floppy and rolling around a lot more due to softer suspension compare to sportier fsport.
With no fsport for the new rx 2023, do you think the car can take cornering & driving better with fsport suspension or maybe lexus has done tweaks enough to make this luxury version without fsport mountain driving comfortable for speed drivers?
From what I see, 85 percentum of people who buy these vehicles hardly ever go much above tue speed limit, and are going for the luxurious ride and quietness of the vehicle.
All can afford it, so they want the top spec.
Maybe one or two will drive it aggressively, so who cares?
seem like lcd screen refresh rates too low keep blinking
It's the video frame rate vs screen frame rate.
R.I.P. traction control hahahaha 🤣🤣🤣
The key point is reliability of many years of trouble free motoring,but in premium fee l the X5is way bettet
You buy whichever one you feel more comfortable with.
Does this car will throw us out from seats while taking those high speed sharp corners
? How isit feeling tbh?
This is a comfortable vehicle, made for a co.fortable ride at a comfortable pace.
If RX do bigger V6 turbo, I think X5 & GLE will left behind far far away !
I think the Lexus appeal is not about power or performance, but of course there must be enough.
There is a variant RX500H not sold in Malaysia. This is the X5 and GLE killer
@@YSKhongDriving Toyota/Lexus moved away from the V6 to comply with new emission standards in US and Europe
Linear and refined = LEXUS
But the price 😭😭😭
It's a Lexus.
Very affordable
But cheaper and more worth and wins in terms of specs and comfort than Mercedes GLE. Even prices for both Mercedes GLC300 and Lexus RX350 also not much difference but yet Lexus RX350 also better in terms of spec, comfort, safety, technology and others compare to Mercedes GLC300. Even reliability for Mercedes also not much better than Lexus
cinematic cantik
Terima kasih.
i thought it is atto 3 facelift 🤣🤣
Wow 8at.. igtkn 6at
toyota 8 speed transmission is very slow and jerky compare to mazda's 8 speed automatic transmission. I picked Cx60 over lexus Rx becuase mazda has inline 6 turbo engine with very fast and intelligent 8 speed transmission.
Lexus car also nice but bmw 5 series is my lovely car😅
That is why the car industry is so vibrant. There is something for everybody. Buy what you like and like what you buy.
@@YSKhongDriving why so long already you haven't get the bmw 5 series car i am so sad can you tell ppl come to give you bmw 5 series car i want to see you use that car drive up to genting
5 series is a sedan whilst the RX is a crossover
Lexus Is superb good looking car and I wish to own this machine. But Lexus Malaysia too overpriced all their models
It's the import duties.
CBU Japan cars are really worth the money. The built quality is 2nd to none
for that price i will go Mazda cx-90 inline 6 diesel coming to malaysia soon
CX-90 is a 3 row crossover. The equivalent is a the new Toyota Grand Highlander sold in the North America
I know this might be irrelevant but how it is compare to the current Porsche tail light HRV? 😂
This seems to be the trend now.
No doubt lexus is a good car but too pricey!! Furthermore interior really looks flat and doesn't match the price compare to Mercedes GLC 300 coupe...
GLC300 Coupe and Lexus RX are different segment. Btw, GLC300 Coupe too dated even for new facelift if talking about interior. Even reliability for Mercedes doesn’t match with Lexus.
The comparable segment for the Benz is GLE. In Australia, the GLE is voted one of the most unreliable crossover on the road.
I don’t think this new RX350 already engine run in, but seem like uncle don’t care just keep raping this car as he pleased😮😅
It is too expensive as compared to a BMW X5 which would be a much better value.
But the resale value of the X5 will be much lower
Lexus interior always doesn't look luxury...for the money spent, cant see and experience the luxury-ness...
So definite luxury than? Fancy looking and Luxury is 2 different thing
@@yangerek78 this is my opinion la.. u hv yr own opinion then let it be.
Bmw x3 is far better for me
@@yangerek78 this is not a perodua
If you look at Lexus interior properly or experience on any Lexus models, will look more luxury though.
