  • (Watch in 4K) I'll show you the NEW LEXUS 500h I bought in this video.
    I've had many Lexus vehicles over the years, and this is one of the most fun to own!... This may help you decide for yourself if you are considering getting one. The Lexus #RX500hFSport takes the top speed in the lineup, combining a turbocharged 2.4L engine with 2-electric motors, including a powerful eAxle at the rear, and REAR STEERING! The result is the quickest and sportiest version ever and it should appeal to driving enthusiasts!

    as a LEXUS RX500h owner! this car is a MASTERPIECE TO DRIVE! The BRAKES are so easy to modulate! it reminds me of how smooth TESLA Regen braking is! the one pedal driving is nice! now I hope the next gen RX will be full EV! and they update the next gen RZ to compete better

    • @GabrielSedlakOfficial
      @GabrielSedlakOfficial  Рік тому +5

      I agree it is quite incredible and they did a remarkable job making it all feel like one smooth machine with no extremely odd behavior...
      We were very close to getting the RZ that had the smoke-out-touch sky roof, and all the other features but the range was real-world under 200 miles, and if you put 3,4, or 5 of us in the car, and dropped substantially quicker.
      I hope they basically marry the RX in the RZ together and create a more powerful battery/longer lasting, that would be pretty perfect.

    Ive got the 2023 RX500h f Sport ... and after 10 months of ownership, I have very few issues.. only thing I dont like, the mark levinson speakers are very bright.. had to turn the treble and mid to zero and it stil makes my ears ring even at lower volumes... One other thing, the bottom rocker panel normally part of the car is now part of the door, so when it gets dirty even a high pressure car wash doesnt clean it.... I like everything else, very nice to drive, smooth, quiet, refined, quality soft touch materials... Its great. Good fuel mileage, and lots of pep when you give it..... I have iridium silver with red interior.... I came out of a 2021 E53 amg, and I had no issues with my trade - its easily as nice overall, except the Merc maybe had some more options.. Options I never used anyway..

If Lexus have the V6 as an option I would buy one today but they don't, so I will be waiting for a decent full electric car with a long distance battery. Great video shame about the V6 been discontinued, lost to Lexus they are losing customers over their silly decisions. If I can afford to buy Lexus, I am not worried about fuel consumption that is the least of my worries.

    It's funny, you said nothing bothers you and then the car beeped at you for momentarily looking away. Got to admit, that would bother me.

      The 450H is AWESOME!! Agree the new engine will have to be proven...They keep adding it to other models like the new TX, so Lexus seems to be convinced it's the answer.
      Yeah, the "look away" feature is a bit crazy...I need to see if I can quiet it up in the settings, but I don't think about it much anymore, just used to the prompt and make the adjustments subconsciously....maybe that was their intention??
      My son is a pretty cool kid and actually more self-controlled and responsible than any adult I know...so I wanted him to have something awesome, may trade it for something else, but for now, he's a happy guy!

    Excellent review. Subscriber now. 👍🏻. Couple of questions come to mind before I test drive this. First, has this model been affected at all w all the e fine issue la Toyota has been having re the new tacomas? Metal frags in engine block. I think this is same engine no? How are the tires? I live in northeast so snow weather plays a part. I’m all for high performance tires on a fancy car I get it but how are these tires in the snow and realistically how’s the wear? Are these expensive tires to replace? I know not every car is perfect, but I’m also going to be looking at the BMW X5 in comparison. I’m really looking for what car is built. The best makes the most sense for me has long-term reliability and holds its value which I know for fact, the BMW depreciates Significantly the moment you drive it off the lot, but BMW has always been a much more fun car to drive however, however this car may take that away Great review again.

      Yes, they are very comfortable for sure, but they are definitely more performance-oriented, they hold you in the seat. The RX 350 is more daily soft. I would like it if they mixed the SOFT of the 350 with the PERFORMANCE of the 500 seats, then it would be a 10... it's a 7.5 for the 500 and a 9 for the 350.
      I like the thigh extenders on the RX 350 Luxury, I wish the 500h had that in addition. But they are great seats anyway, and they don't fatigue you while driving a distance... They surprised me...WELL DONE LEXUS!

    Nice and well done video. I have the exact same vehicle. Same color exterior and interior with all the same option. I love everything about it except 2 things. The Mark Levinson system. I love ML in other Lexus but in the RX is just not very good. Also, I wish Lexus would have the "walk-away-lock".Those are the only 2 things I do not like about this car. Please let me know if you're agree.

    • @GabrielSedlakOfficial
      @GabrielSedlakOfficial  Рік тому +1

      Perfectly said! YES I totally agree..... The ML is great but there are MUCH better experiences in the LX and LS for sure! And the lack of sound in the locks are always a bit odd.
      Having had G wagons.... it has set a high bar that's almost impossible to beat, bad comparison I know but I SURE DO miss the lock sound! Lexus could up it just a bit. Other than that, HARD TO BEAT the RX!

    Great video, own one myself in black. The only two issues that annoy me are the lack of auditory feedback for lock/unlock and the ambient lighting. Because they swapped over to an electronic door latch system you can't hear when the door is locked or unlocked and I had my wife/kids, and friends get pretty annoyed thinking that I didn't unlock the doors after they pressed it the first time. And, without any auditory feedback on some of the switches, I now have to look at the buttons to make sure I pressed them correctly where as in previous generations as long as I heard a beep or click I knew I hit the right button. Regarding the ambient lighting, I get that they muted it down but I wish they still gave the option to crank the brightness up considering the high cost to install the lighting in the first place. Maybe i'm blind but in the summer I can't even see the ambient lighting and the rest of the season I would have to be driving in the pitch black to notice it.

    • @GabrielSedlakOfficial
      @GabrielSedlakOfficial  Рік тому

      LOVE it in Black!
      I need to see if there is a setting somewhere that can change it from the electric beep to an actual horn or another setting I think I had it set in our LX's over the years...
      Agree about the door lack of sound. One thing that the G-wagon had down that other manufacturers should add a bit of is that audible lock sound that assures whats happening... you can hear it 50 feet away 😁
      I go like analog feedback for sure ( classic). Also agree that the ambient should ba adjustable. It's sure a great feel good feature!
      Almost got the Dark red interior, but my wife wasn't a fan.

    • @GabrielSedlakOfficial
      @GabrielSedlakOfficial  7 місяців тому

      Sorry for my delay... just read it,
      Yes but not like the common "start/stop".
      It just naturally gets quiet when it needs to and the electric takes over, normally where the engine is always starting from red lights or stop signs it's a far smoother process than on other vehicles, I can't stand the feeling of other cars when it does it.
      The electric side just takes over during those gaps it's virtually undetectable.
      Hope that helps

      @GabrielSedlakOfficial  Місяць тому

      No, it doesn't have massaging seats. That would be a great thing I think because of the aggressive nature of them they just didn't fit it within it. The luxury version of the 350 was more likely to have that work. The only Lexus I know of that has massaging seats is the LS I even had several LX's over the years and they did not have massaging seats either.

    • @boyantrifonov
      @boyantrifonov Місяць тому

      @ No massage seats on $100 000 car is a deal breaker in my opinion.
      Lexus is competing with the German Luxury brands and it is indeed a great alternative.
      I personally love the exterior design and the mechanical reliability.
      But Lexus RX is a comfort oriented option as an SUV.
      And it is their top of the line SUV.
      Not having massaging seats is a significant omission and not really logical.
      And I am not saying this to make you feel bad.
      Since you buy so many Lexus vehicles they will listen to feedback from you.
