TFLnow is full of idiots so of course they would have a problem with these door handles. Go watch their review of the Acura MDX Type-S. They said the button in the rear cargo area controls the height of the air suspension. It's got nothing to do with that - it just closes the hatch as you walk away. They are really clueless and lazy when it comes to learning about these cars before they "review" them. They spout lots of erroneous information.
“People are struggling to open the door because you have to push the door with the button.” With traditional door handles, you just pull and don’t need to push the door. 😂
My mother bought one and she is absolutely in love with the ride quality and interior. She got the regular turbo 2.4 motors and premium plus interior and couldn’t be happier
I own this. 9,000 miles in, I can say it has grown on me. The power is decent, rear steering is good, seats are comfy, it’s quiet on the highway. Minor issues (dash panel popping off, drivers seat ventilation fan is broken, minor stuff). Infotainment is frustrating-on CarPlay there are no dedicated buttons to get back into the Lexus interface (every other OEM has figured this out). Makes it hard to access features such as sound adjustment, radio stations etc. door handles are beyond stupid. Lock button makes no sound, no one can get out on the first try. Overall I have no real complaints, it’s great for what we use it for.
I'm friends with a Lexus rep who maintains the press vehicles. He said Lexus implemented the '500' treatment to bring in younger buyers. Instead they've found that husbands will buy them for their wives, so when they're in the car, they'll have something fun to drive. 🤣 Whereas their wives just putt-putt around in the car most of the time. So the legendary RX Smoothness is still in effect. These wives are clearly not my mom, she does everything EXCEPT 'putt putt' around in her Hellcat Durango. LOL! Thanks for posting.
Just bought one. Just drove to Florida from New Hampshire. Love the car. Averaged 27 mph. Super comfortable. Handles really well and all the power I would ever need. Yes it’s quirky opening doors. Lots of space and feature packed.
These guys are employees of the German car manufacturers They are bought and paid for by the Germans you notice they never criticized German cars not reallyThey are phonies Father and son
I love my 500h F Sport. None of the annoyances Tommy talks about have ever annoyed me. But then again he seems to be annoyed by most things. Too much drama. That’s why I unsubscribed from their channel.
Great video TFL about the RX500h FSport. For me, I own a 2022 RX450h FSport that was among the last ones with a V6. I love the smooth power from the V6 and hybrid system when you need it, and it barely makes engine noise. Also, it has a knob for switching it to different power modes, and gets better MPG than the RX500h. I know that the 4-cylinder hybrid is it going forward but I’ll hang on to my V6 RX450h as long as I can.
I just bought this car last Saturday and I Love it! I’m a 58 year old woman and I think the car is super sexy, lol! I love the details of the exterior design. The screen is perfect for me as well. It was important for me that the screen did not stand higher than the dash board and it doesn’t. I love the feel of the seats 💺 holding you in like a hug especially when you’re turning around the corners. And yes, for me I want speed so this is perfect for my needs and also considering my husband. We got the Iridium color!
Great video. Love the RX Hybrids. Although they are old, up until recently we had 2 RX400hs - a 2007 and a 2008. Both bought new. Well north of 250k miles on each when we finally sold them. Finally ran out of children to hand them down to. Never an issue with either one.
My dad lives there in Marco. Keep an eye out for his 1970 all original one owner red Mercury Cougar. It was the only car fully optioned with the red paint and white interior in that model year. Love my wife’s 2019 RX350L
This is one of the most beautiful SUV Lexus has ever created and one of the most beautiful SUV ever made in general period! The fact that it comes with Lexus reliability, luxury, technology and highest resale value is in no way any competition would even come close.
No. Againg you get it wrong everytime you talk about this powertrain in all Toyota/Lexus models. This is a real gears (like a manual transmission) with a twin disc (not a dual clutch) single input shaft pressure plate clutch transmission, all controlled by the ECM (That is why Roman feel it like an LFA experience). 'Real six speed automatic' as a description sounds wrong.
Way too many unmercenary negative comments from the passenger seat person! Most of them are personal views and not legit for the majority of the buyers.
We just purchased this vehicle in Iridium with black interiors. Some of the things in this review are partially right, if you’re nitpicking. So far the driving experience and quality has been more than the minor details. But I guess to each their own. I heard the LFA comparison several times throughout the review, and glad at the end you had an insight moment where acknowledged that you cannot compare a 200k+ car with a 70k SUV.
i recently bought a slightly used lexus dealership demo 2023 nx350h awd, and looked at the new rx, and honestly the nx is the more ideal car as it fit my garage, provided plenty of space inside and gets great mpg for a cheaper price.
My 2015 RX450h AWD is larger than the NX but smaller than the RX500h, gets better fuel economy than the RX500h because it is much lighter with nearly the same HP and torque. Mine has the v6, much better than the 4 cylinder. The RX500h is simply not worth the money. The Tesla Model X Plaid is a much better value for just a bit more $$.
Yeh but bmw can get away with it. Because they’re fast, fun to drive, luxurious, loaded with state of the art tech, lots of proper features, great chassis, etc
@@naveenthemachineyou forgot something, it has a very reliable engine light. It never fail to turn on. And yes its fun to drive to service frequenlty when it breaks. Its fun driving in the middle of the night as well just make sure to bring camping gear just in case it fail in the middle of somewhere and oh dont forget to save towing company numbers. Have fun😂
The suspension on F Sport vehicles has always been too flinty and crashy and the driver's inputs steering and pedals) have always been been dead on Lexuses. Dead steering and pedal feel may be ok in a slow, soft cruiser, but I agree with Tommy that they are out of place in a powerful, hard riding vehicle. This F Sport trim is stuck between two minds and as a result is a compromised failure. Lexus needs to decide and fully commit to either traditional luxury or sportiness, not try to straddle both.
I would take the RX's Mark Levingston sound system over the BMW X-3 Harmon Kardon all day. The X-3 drives well but for that price I would expect a better sound system.
I think it's actually pretty for the first time in FOREVER! I love the Plug in version to the F version. The economy & EV range combo to me beats the second ish ? Faster ???😂 🤷 & not sorry black rims from the get go a decade ago were FUGLY. - So Plug in all the way imo. But Yes that Rose gold is beautiful along with the design overall.
It appears that the front seats are mostly designed for domestic consumption, aka the smaller Japenese physique. I'm 6"2" with broad shoulders and find that the top bolsters ride right in the middle of my shoulder blades. It's bad enough that I just can't pull the trigger on a purchase. I found the NX seats much more to my liking.
door to heavy screen to big seats to tight really ! if the door was light feels cheap I remember the tech screen was to small the seats are cheap no support ,give me a break!!!
Dud imo.. for the price its only a little quieter than the rav 4.. door handles suck. Push the button twice so you wear the button out faster.. no thanks. 1 out of 10 imo
Do you guys do no research before you test drive a car? If you’ve ready any of the Lexus public affairs material, you would know that Lexus is trying to attract in the younger generation with the new RX…so, yes, your mother or my mother is not the target for this car…As for trying to be a European SUV, thank God they are not trying to be that though all of you YT testers keep trying to compare every SUV to the euros…some people don’t want that…when I wanted that, I bought an X5 (which, by the way is 10k more than the RX)…I want something with a smooth/compliant ride with a hint of sportiness…this is spot on…nice blend of both without being too floaty or too stiff…
I own one. You have turn off Traction all the way in Lexus to unleash its real potential. Hold traction button for 4 seconds, it enables "track mode" on all lexus models. THEN sport mode and you will thank me later.
Just took delivery of the exact car... sorry to disagree, love the seats, their like a nice hug when i get in the car.. the doors are just fine, no prob with the push button and i didnt buy the car for my 80 plus yr old parents who are in my car maybe 2 times a yr. The ride is awesome and well balanced...
Lexus hits a home run with the 2013 to 2020 GS350 has one of the most comfortable seat in their luxury models all Lexus has to do is use those seats across all their line up. All the newer lexus 2021+ cars and suvs has terrible small amd tight seats. Why lexus why?
Haven’t watched you guys for a while…I remember why now…even worse than I remember…no research, conclusions that make no sense, just not a very helpful review…I’ve test driven everything in its class over the last month….in less than 10 minutes completely understood how the HUD works, the door handles, the settings…every car has it’s unique quirks…people are pretty smart, especially when they get in the same car every day. I own 4 different cars (Honda CRV, Mini Cooper Countryman, Niro EV, and the 500h). None have anything in common, but somehow I’m able to open the doors on each, drive them all, and even use the IU…
Lexus-Toyota with all the laws, downsizing and world critical problems they still make good cars.The Japanese not only make the best cars but they stepped up with the tech and overall interior art and quality.German cars might be more dynamic and some of them might be more sophisticated but they lack the reliability and the "well thought" , " well put together", " you really get what you pay for" of the Japanese cars.I am an European my self but I will always go for Japanese cars.The problem is that in Europe the full spec RX is above 100.000 euros.What Toyota, Honda and Mazda are doing now looks good for the car buyers in the next couple of years but it all depends on the wars and worldwide corruption that need to be stopped.
If I were point out one thing I love about the new Lexuses, it'd be the climate control knobs with the temperature displayed digitally. Strange but true. I really want to love Lexus as a brand. Reliability, fit and finish. But it's just missing something for me. In the past, it was modern tech - the infotainment system. It just looked so dated! Maybe they've fixed that now? Let's hope so.
Thanks for the review. To address the issues you brought up: if you had toggled to the "Sport" or "Sport Plus" setting you would have found tight steering and much a sportier suspension. A totally different driving experience. I have the 2020 f sport performance 450h and it's plenty sporty and tight. My other car is an M3 so I have demanding test.
I experienced a loaner RX450HL (hybrid, long) last year. It had the eCVT and it was sluggish- - nowhere near as fast as my wife's 2017 RX350 (non hybrid) witth the 310 HP V6 and normal transmission. And it had a sticker price in the low 80s. Terrible vehicle.
@@mrgurulittle7000 right… a dressed up camry on stilts is luxury since it has the same suspension design and tuning as both the camry and rav4. Same power trains from those two, and performance that doesn’t even exceed those models If a luxury car reminds you of a cheaper economy car then it’s not a luxury car. Just a logo won’t cut it. It’s about everything else. Thr suspension setup, performance, how it makes you feel, how it differentiates you from lesser brands You don’t get any of that in almost any Lexus. Brands like genesis Jeep mazda Lincoln all offer that
You literally say the same thing every time like you have a problem. And I’ve already explained to you that Lexus is more luxurious because they are tuned to drive better and they are also built with better materials and mechanical parts. Pretty much everyone knows this except you and the tiny paranoid woke anti Toyota following of yours. Just because some struts share part number with Toyota doesn’t make Lexus not premium. Lexus not being premium enough is your personal bias problem, especially when you say brands like Genesis and Jeep, (which are rebadged Hyundais and Fiats) are more luxurious than Lexus. I have to take your own quotes and apply them in my favor… “if a luxury car reminds you of a cheaper economy car then it’s not a luxury car”…I had to laugh at that statement. When do I feel like I’m driving a cheap car when driving a Lexus? The design cues are different, the ride is different, the interior is different from Toyota. I mean, if you call Jeep a “luxury brand” and Lexus a “cheap economy brand”, you need a reality and mental check. You’re right in that a badge just won’t do. And I feel the exact same way when you talk how luxurious a Hyundai car with knockoff Bentley badges is luxurious. Badges just don’t do, kid. I agree.
What part of this vehicle is shared with the camry. Not the engine. Not the transmission. Not the suspension. None of the interior. What part of this crossover is the same as the camry. Please explain.
No they’re right Toyota and Lexus are complete duds compared to Honda or Acura or any other brand. Their lineup is truly subpar when put up against rival models. Thats not an opinion. That’s a universal fact You can’t name a single Toyota or Lexus that’s ranked at the top of their class. They never top other brands in any category
DUD This car is a ripoff. Way over priced for what you get. Added dealer add ons are a waste of money. The Hyundai has all the options for $20k less and a far better warrantee. You want a $250 tow package? It's a requirement for all Lexus new cars. Stupid. Of course that is my option as a disclaimer, so these nasty people won't sue me. Good luck. :) JUNK
One of the ugliest SUVs ever made. Lexus exterior designs are horrendous & I wonder if anyone buys one of these thinking that it’s actually pleasant to look at? Reliability is also never guaranteed with a new vehicle, so I don’t see the value nor appeal in this vehicle.
Toyota is lost… look at BZ4X! canceling Venza! Came out with the Crown Sedan 1st, if at all. The laughable Sequoia design. Most likely canceling highland soon. Prius rear door handle. RX teeny tinny brake lights. Tiny screens across the lineup, while Koreans give dual 12.3”. Non removable seats in Sienna, already looks dated. 1 light bulb functioning as both turn signal and the brake light on the grand highland. A brand new vehicle and they couldn’t give it 2 light bulbs. 🤦♀️ I could go on and on…Designs sux! 24mpg is good!? Get real.
@@mrgurulittle7000 the gv70 has a bigger 14.5 in screen Even a base gv70 is as fast as the fastest RX and it still handles worse. And the gv70 is as quiet as an RX while simultaneously being significantly nicer inside
@@naveenthemachineGV70 isn’t as quiet. Check the decibels yourself. Also, GV70 infotainment is panorama format, which makes it harder to use that the RX infotainment. RX infotainment looks bigger for being smaller and easy to use.
It's a turbo charged Rav4 Prime that's slower than a Rav4 Prime and way more expensive with poorer fuel economy. In short, just buy a Rav4 Prime; because they are almost identical anyway.
Door handles take all of 2 seconds to get use to, solid well built suv, crazy how quiet Lexus cabins are
They are surprisingly uber quiet. You won’t find that anywhere else.

Thanks for the review. To address the issues you brought up: if you had toggled to the "Sport" or "Sport Plus" setting you would have found tight steering and much a sportier suspension. A totally different driving experience. I have the 2020 f sport performance 450h and it's plenty sporty and tight. My other car is an M3 so I have demanding test.
I have the 2020 too. Indeed the sport+ ‘handling’ suspension really does make for an engaging drive experience.
I experienced a loaner RX450HL (hybrid, long) last year. It had the eCVT and it was sluggish- - nowhere near as fast as my wife's 2017 RX350 (non hybrid) witth the 310 HP V6 and normal transmission. And it had a sticker price in the low 80s. Terrible vehicle.
GV70/GV80 are more luxurious in my humble opinion
Totally agree.
Too bad they don't offer them in hybrid versions.
Literally anything is more luxurious than the RX. Literally anything. is likely more luxurious
GV70 infotainment is too glitchy. Also, it’s not as quiet as the RX.
I want 500-600 horses
They are locked in with german car mentality, they will never agree or understand that Lexus far exceeds any of german or American crap 💩
'why not put the 3-cylinder in it?'... so wrong
24.6 for a hybrid.. that's awful
needs a bigger plastic grill.. 😂
Too much complain for one of the best brands is the planet. Keep your German junk. Could not finish the video.
That door is not heavy
crybabies for such a nice vehicle
No this isn’t a nice car
A Camry with lipstick wearing heels is not luxury
@@naveenthemachineIt is luxury.
@@mrgurulittle7000 right… a dressed up camry on stilts is luxury since it has the same suspension design and tuning as both the camry and rav4. Same power trains from those two, and performance that doesn’t even exceed those models
If a luxury car reminds you of a cheaper economy car then it’s not a luxury car. Just a logo won’t cut it. It’s about everything else. Thr suspension setup, performance, how it makes you feel, how it differentiates you from lesser brands
You don’t get any of that in almost any Lexus. Brands like genesis Jeep mazda Lincoln all offer that
You literally say the same thing every time like you have a problem. And I’ve already explained to you that Lexus is more luxurious because they are tuned to drive better and they are also built with better materials and mechanical parts. Pretty much everyone knows this except you and the tiny paranoid woke anti Toyota following of yours. Just because some struts share part number with Toyota doesn’t make Lexus not premium. Lexus not being premium enough is your personal bias problem, especially when you say brands like Genesis and Jeep, (which are rebadged Hyundais and Fiats) are more luxurious than Lexus.
I have to take your own quotes and apply them in my favor… “if a luxury car reminds you of a cheaper economy car then it’s not a luxury car”…I had to laugh at that statement. When do I feel like I’m driving a cheap car when driving a Lexus? The design cues are different, the ride is different, the interior is different from Toyota. I mean, if you call Jeep a “luxury brand” and Lexus a “cheap economy brand”, you need a reality and mental check.
You’re right in that a badge just won’t do. And I feel the exact same way when you talk how luxurious a Hyundai car with knockoff Bentley badges is luxurious. Badges just don’t do, kid. I agree.
What part of this vehicle is shared with the camry. Not the engine. Not the transmission. Not the suspension. None of the interior. What part of this crossover is the same as the camry. Please explain.
I just don't like the exterior styling of this. I was hoping for something that looked better than the MDX, but it doesn't.
ACURA MDX
You guys are so Whiney. Gripe, gripe gripe. I certainly wouldn’t seek any advice about a vehicle from you two.
Lexus designers should all be fired
That grill is so ugly. It’s a girly looking car, too. The NX is a lot meaner.
is it a stud or a dud?
It’s a dud 😂. A complete one at that
Not a "car" more like a hunchback with braces.
I wonder how much Honda and Acura had to pay these yahoos to beat Lexus up. Lexus and Toyota are the best cars in the world! Period.
No they’re right
Toyota and Lexus are complete duds compared to Honda or Acura or any other brand. Their lineup is truly subpar when put up against rival models. Thats not an opinion. That’s a universal fact
You can’t name a single Toyota or Lexus that’s ranked at the top of their class. They never top other brands in any category
👍👍👍
Dud.
Agreed. More like a complete dud
😂😂😂😂😂😂lol
Neither can I they both must have BMW dealerships. So I can understand why there both annoying.
Heavy im sure.
DUD This car is a ripoff. Way over priced for what you get. Added dealer add ons are a waste of money. The Hyundai has all the options for $20k less and a far better warrantee. You want a $250 tow package? It's a requirement for all Lexus new cars. Stupid. Of course that is my option as a disclaimer, so these nasty people won't sue me. Good luck. :) JUNK
One of the ugliest SUVs ever made. Lexus exterior designs are horrendous & I wonder if anyone buys one of these thinking that it’s actually pleasant to look at?
Reliability is also never guaranteed with a new vehicle, so I don’t see the value nor appeal in this vehicle.
Trash review. Now I remember why I unsubscribed.
Toyota is lost… look at BZ4X! canceling Venza! Came out with the Crown Sedan 1st, if at all. The laughable Sequoia design. Most likely canceling highland soon. Prius rear door handle. RX teeny tinny brake lights. Tiny screens across the lineup, while Koreans give dual 12.3”. Non removable seats in Sienna, already looks dated. 1 light bulb functioning as both turn signal and the brake light on the grand highland. A brand new vehicle and they couldn’t give it 2 light bulbs. 🤦♀️ I could go on and on…Designs sux! 24mpg is good!? Get real.
Agreed. Toyotas in a mess just like infiniti. I think it’s time to accept the fact that they’re done as a brand. It happens. Brands come and go
It’s over 300 hp!
@@eleanormassaro5195 yeah but did you know that you can get 300 hp in a Toyota? And have the same 0-60 as the RX performance?
@@naveenthemachine I’m familiar with that engine in the GR Corolla, but I’m suspicious of a three cylinder turbo engine, even coming from a Toyota!
The seqioua looks good on the exterior. Only bad thing is the hump in the cargo space. Bruh
very outdated
Bigger infotainment, better gas mileage, more quiet ride than GV70. And it’ll sell more. Majority likes it.
go back to korea and take ur overrated genesis crap with you
@@mrgurulittle7000 where did they mention gv70 in this comment?
@@mrgurulittle7000 the gv70 has a bigger 14.5 in screen
Even a base gv70 is as fast as the fastest RX and it still handles worse. And the gv70 is as quiet as an RX while simultaneously being significantly nicer inside
@@naveenthemachineGV70 isn’t as quiet. Check the decibels yourself. Also, GV70 infotainment is panorama format, which makes it harder to use that the RX infotainment. RX infotainment looks bigger for being smaller and easy to use.
It's a turbo charged Rav4 Prime that's slower than a Rav4 Prime and way more expensive with poorer fuel economy. In short, just buy a Rav4 Prime; because they are almost identical anyway.
