I just bought my 2019 RX 350 on Sunday, thru the Costco Auto Program. That, plus $2K in Lexus Cash left me with a $6,700 discount off of the MSRP. I didn't see anything in the local dealer's inventories that had all the bells and whistles that I wanted, so I custom-ordered it. It took a long 5 months for it to arrive, but I'm happy that I waited for the one that I wanted, exactly.
Great videos bro, I own a sc400,gs460 and my wife has a rx450h. We only buy Lexus vehicles and have never had one problem with these beautiful cars. Ever.
@@KirkKreifels Wow Kirk, you really need to drive a gs460. Mine is an 08 and it stars, runs,drives like a brand new Lexus with over 175.000 miles . The interior looks new and the engine looks brand new. The assembly line tags are still in the engine water hoses . My wife's hybrid is amazing. Keep up the good work your videos do a great of reminding me that I'm not the only Lexus nut on the planet.
The mfc “recommend” but not “required” wording like with many turbo engines I had in the past, for example my experience with VW Passat turbo and some other brands. Recommended premium is also written down for other Toyota vehicles w/ V6 including Camry. But it’s very well known fact for years that filling 3.5L V6 a regular gasoline works as well without any problem for the engine. So it’s valid for Lexus RX line of popular crossovers as well, no difference with Toyota 3.5L V6 engines case with regular. Now Lexus starting 2023/24 are discontinuing? V6 engine for both RC 350 & top of the line hybrid version, even when this was one of the most or even best reliable engine, downsizing to 4-cylinders only.
You are absolutely correctly. The 1999 RX300 was the first RX model. I was in high school in 1998 my friends parents got one and l thought it was so cool. Cool video and CONGRATS on the 5,000 subs! It seems like yesterday when you had under 300.
If I had to get an RX, I’d go for the 450h F Sport in Caviar Black with red interior. My Lexus dealer I work for we use a white on black 2019 RX350 F Sport as our customer shuttle. So comfy and fairly sporty dynamics for an SUV.
My two dream cars are to have a RX 450h F Sport in the Blizzard White with Red interior or if I win the lottery I would get the top of the line LX 570!❤❤
Imagine they made an RX F with the 5.0 V8 If the rx f sport looks so good really changes the view of the rx Imagine a full out F model As a previous gen 450h owner the cvt sorts of annoys me especially when you press in the power The lack of the feel of a fear change makes it feel unsatisfactory and the drone It is very smooth though
The customer concern about a high bill replacing the high voltage battery creates uncertainty purchasing more of the best RX model, 450h w/ electric AWD on demand. Even thought the online third party refurbished battery installation coming to your address is more than two times cheaper than what Toyota/Lexus charges? Hybrid is the better technology so far than 100% EV, everybody knows that. So Toyota/Lexus are leading the market now with offering a hybrid engine on most of their vehicles, no surprise. While American brands as usual are behind and also seems confused about hybrids, to go or not to go influenced by wrong dirty politician policies.
If you love CarPlay than wait. I got 2019 Lexus RX350 F sport. The car is get but I miss CarPlay. However next time I am getting hybrid for a few thousand extra
@@KirkKreifels why is lexus taking so long to make all new models. That's killing the company to me. The GX and LX are 10 years old. Took 10 years to do the LS. Horrible.

How did you decide to build your RX?
How has your RX ownership go? Any tips to look out for when looking at a used RX 350?
Great videos bro, I own a sc400,gs460 and my wife has a rx450h. We only buy Lexus vehicles and have never had one problem with these beautiful cars. Ever.
Wow! Thanks so much for sharing your story. I'm especially jealous of your GS 460... I don't think I've ever seen one.

450h f sports are rare but oh so cool!

I owned the 2019 450h F-Sport with red interior....love it and got a lot of inquiries from a BMW, Mercedes and Audi owners :)
My dream is to open my garage door and see a 5.0L GSF looking back at me.
Your content is so touching
I got f sport for Red Interior Colors
Lord Commander Manny same here 2018 f sport red interior, we absolutely love it!!
Yes get car I only wish Lexus were to make more RX450 hybrid, for $2000 and 30+mpg
Beautiful.
I would love the white with red interior . Waiting for it to be 10k used
You may be waiting a long while lol :)
see u in 10 years
Purchased a 2019 RX 450H F-Sport, Atomic Silver and Red Interior, ~6 months ago....such a fun SUV to drive....love it!
Congratulations!!! Nice color combo.
@@KirkKreifels thanks.....was looking at the 2019 ES-350 F-Sport but ended up with RX450H F-Sport instead.
@@JustinTPat Both are excellent! I'm glad you're happy with your decision :)
Thanks for the video. When will 2020s be in showrooms for purchase?
October where I live. That will vary depending on where at in the country/world you are.
Imagine they made an RX F with the 5.0 V8
If the rx f sport looks so good really changes the view of the rx
Imagine a full out F model
As a previous gen 450h owner the cvt sorts of annoys me especially when you press in the power
The lack of the feel of a fear change makes it feel unsatisfactory and the drone
It is very smooth though
Smooth is what the RX is all about 😉. The RX f would be awesome, but they'll save that for the LF 1.
Lexus should make more Hybrid. My dealer have only 2 and over 20 RX350
That is a strange ratio! It should be at least 7-8 hybrids if they have 20 350's. It is really region and dealer specific however.

Holy perfect timing! I plan on getting rx 350, will probably wait for the 2020 model though
Happy to help! Let me know if you have questions when you're shopping.
@@KirkKreifels Do you know if the 2020 rx 350 luxury package got a new wheel? I didn't like the current luxury package wheel with the plastic inserts.
If you love CarPlay than wait. I got 2019 Lexus RX350 F sport. The car is get but I miss CarPlay. However next time I am getting hybrid for a few thousand extra
Yes 2020 Luxuries get an all-new wheel! It's a light alloy color - looks better than the current luxury wheels.
Kirk Kreifels when does the rx 2020 spec sheet come out? Will it have a camel color interior that is in the commercials?
In Australia we have RX300 , 2L turbo engine, any good? Does the engine have any problems? Thanks
I have a 2015 NX 200t F Sport lease for 3 yrs and switch to 2018 NX 300 F Sport lease again i know Lexus USA did not offer NX300h F-Sport
The F-sport in Europe is much firmer and a lot of people dont like that because most people dont buy this as a sportscar
Thanks for the informative video! Is it true that the RX45Oh uses premium fuel?
Great video Kirk! Lexus RX350L or Next Acura MDX for me. Very hard choice.
I still can't tell the difference between a regular rx and the f-sport
Since RX is base on highlander. 2020 the highlander is all new so when will New RX 2021
We won't see new RX until 2023 is my guess.

This video would be a lot clearer if it was just one diagram. Its kinda hard to follow a guy just talking through this morass of a lineup
We have a RX300 in our region, is that ok ?
RX 300 has the 2.0 turbo motor correct?
@@KirkKreifels yes Kirk
Where in the world are you???
@@KirkKreifels Australia the land down under
@@ngevacorp Awesome! Thanks for being a part of the channel. I went to Australia in 2016 - Amazing place!
Third row is for people you don’t like
Lol
just wait on the 2020s
Coming soon!
Hey
I Like front wheel drive always
How much gas money will I be saving on the hybrid model compared to the regular base model?
Mot enough to justify the price difference, unless you drive a heap
@@mvubu6823 Drive a heap?
@@stephenfrank9735 a heap.. a lot.
Need huge miles to make it worth it
