Just bought it for the wife....Fantastic RX350. The engine is better than the previous six cylinder in gas mileage alone!!! Luxury, comfort etc. top notch. My wife could not be happier and as a husband, the service and safety of Lexus for my wife is worth every penny!
You can get a “premium plus” with a few options for $60k. That’s not horrible. Problem is their lease and finance deals pale in comparison to Volvo BMW and Audi. And you can get a lot more space (albeit not as luxurious) for $60k in an Acura MDX.
@@toxicjokeryt30 eh I've heard mixed things, city sucks but that's true of any v6 or turbo-4, highway 25+ should be achievable; sucks that all of them require premium gas though... Honda's 3.5 in the pilot and Toyota's 2.4 turbo in the Highlander take regular
@@Brian_Eugene_Lee apparently at least according to owners reviews online the turbo 4 is questionable in terms of reliability... RX, Highlander, Grand Highlander, doesnt matter... all have similar reports of problems and missteps in one way or another. Disappointing to say the least. This turbo-4 has all the makings of a great engine in terms of power torque efficiency etc. but I guess not reliability, which is weird for the Toyota Brand
Scottie Kilmer advises against purchasing a turbocharged engine, as they tend to have a shorter lifespan and can put more stress on the motor. He recommends opting for a naturally aspirated V6 instead. Sadly They got none Except that ES 350 f sport.
In theory, Scottie is right about turbos in general. However, how frequently does your typical 350 f sport driver kick in the turbo or drive the car really hard? In this instance, purchasing this car because of a turbo is not a show stopper for me.
@coltonbriggs71 Scotty makes some good recommendations and others take with a grain of salt. I remember when almost all cars were 8 cylinders and when automoblile makers transitioned to 6 cylinders, there was the same backlash similar to 6 cylinders being replaced with 4 cylinders of today. In fact, RX's have the same 275 h.p. today (6 vs 4 cyl) but with more torque. So, some owners just aren't open to changing of the times as others. Furthermore, how ofren does your typical driver kick in their turbocharger anyway. With me, that would be almost never. To each perference of his and her own.
The price of this car is the same as the BMW X5 and the X5 gives me a V6 with more horsepower and torque . Before you talk about reliability remember this V6 engine and transmission is in the Toyota Supra
not worth buying an suv with just rx 350 4 cylinder ...if you buy bang for your buck is 500h get certfied or used ..and save money .. adaptiive suspension , rear wheel steel , park assist. and more.
Dear Ben: I can hardly understand you because you talk SO FAST! Please take a breath now and again! Is that the speed of speech that is normal in Utah? I would like to learn about about this Lexus but stopping the video to "rewind" in order to catch everything you say few seconds is annoying! Now, to be fair, you are not the only UA-cam presenter who narrates everything at break neck speed. Presenters with Scottish accents or some of the regional UK accents are hard to understand, as well. Not only do I have to mentally "translate" but the frequently speak quickly, as well. Please, please just SLOW DOWN. Thank you.

How on earth can anyone attest a new f sport 2024 or even 2023 can be suspect, thus not reliable? It makes no sense to me.
I would not get the f sport seats again.The seats are too narrow at the hips and my hips are not wide.
Question: How can I scroll favorites in music? Cant seem to get it. Thanks.
Bring back the 3.5 v6 and i will buy one
How is the ride comfort compare to the non sport model? I am trying to avoid a stiff firm ride.
I want the F Sport but I don’t think my wife will go for the red seats. It’s technically her car but I drive it a lot
Comes with black seats too
I love the rx 350 F Sport handling red seats. With the white exterior, the red seats really make the car look very sporty.
I really can't wait to see the 500h sport. Really I retested in that one.
I am going to look at this same vehicle today
how does the sound compare to the BMW X5? I am looking for quiet!

Don’t waste your money on 4 cylinders. It’s the no. Luxury engine in a luxury car. Only reason they put these in because if emission laws

4:30 how did you change the gauge cluster style?
Drive mode
Is this the same powertrain that’s in the new Tacoma?
we have been looking at these for a bit now, just dont like that 4 cyl. their v6 engines are top notch....so much smoother and quieter
Why is the cup holder strange????
Piano gloss black.... oh what have they done!!! 😭
My mom likes this 2024 lexus rx 350 and Nissan muruno.
Living the life 😅 Ben
I prefer the 3.5 V-6 ; smooth and powerful, reliable too.
With the card you can keep in your wallet and starting the remote starter on your phone you dont need the foh key
4 cylinder is a deal breaker what is Lexus thinking?
Trying to save you that Gas money we all complain about lol
@@GeoDeal-z9qHow you are going to save money buying premium gas for this turbo engine, the V6 used regular gas and is the same MPG as this new one?
Say no to Mickey Mouse engine buy German V 6.

That's a 2023 RX in Nebula Grey.
Bring back the v 6 and maybe a performance v8 rxf
