Should You Buy A Lexus RX 500h? OWNER'S PERSPECTIVE
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- (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!

This was probably one of the best car reviews I've ever watched. Thank you for being so thorough, you've gained a new subscriber!!
SO KIND for you to say, and I really appreciate you sharing that!
Such a blessing 🙏🏼
Glad to connect on UA-cam!... and thanks for the sub! 🔥
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
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.
Thanks for watching. I know you love your RX! 🔥
@@GabrielSedlakOfficial yea loving it still! such a smooth comfortable and quick ride! it's not punishing at all! and EVERYTHING just WORKS! also the F SPORT SEATS are GREAT! people who complain are ones who don't know about BREAK-IN period of the seats. Lexus Ergonomics are the BEST And no wonder the RX is still LEXUS TOP TIER seller through and through!
Great video. I test drove the RX350H yesterday but after reviewing you video, RX500H F Sport is on top of my list when the time comes. Thank you,
You're so welcome! Totally go and drive one! You'll be surprised, it is definitely more EXACT than other RX models 👊💥😎
Not as cushy as the luxury, but awesome for sure!
Thanks for watching 👍
We just bought one in which it is currently being made. Im so excited going from a 2011 Lexus RX 350 to the 500H Sport. Lexus makes the best vehicles.
You will LOVE IT! It's like driving a totally different car.... still very comfortable but the sportiness and rear steering make it a joy to drive. you can keep it on ECO mode and it's still wonderful. CONGRATS! 🎉
Can't wait to be blinded at night with the tripple beam
They are pretty bright for sure... thank goodness the lights are smart enough to auto-correct to keep them from glaring.
Thanks for watching 👍
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..
LOVE the silver and red, GREAT combo!
I better get out the road degreaser, you're right! 😵💫
Yeah, we have had to tweak the sound system setting too...
Familiar with the E and it's wild how different those two vehicles feel.... There is something very appealing about the effortlessness of the RX and the ease of parking 😁
Do you think you'll stick with the RX or go back to Mercedes?
We have had a bunch of each brand and they are both excellent in their own right?
@@GabrielSedlakOfficial the 4 wheel steering is great ! so easy to turn in....... Im loving this car, I dont think I will ever need anything else.. its perfect for my wife and I to scoot around in. great in town, great on the highway.. its not a sports car, its not meant to be so comments about handling are irrelevant.. its not meant to handle like a 911..... It handles perfectly for what it is.. My E53 hit bumps so hard I thought I was going to ruin my rims, the RX is perfect in my opinion..
that is troublesome about the Mark Levinson speakers. I'm wanting to spend the extra money for them and having a hard time finding the 500s, and 350s that have them. Maybe I should just go with the regular speakers?
Great video, I just bought this car and you helped a lot. I am committed not to miss cool featrues. I owned a Lexus 430 LS and drove if 15 years, then gave it to my son-in-law. He showed me tech on that old car that I never figured out! I am not missing this time, thanks to you!
Congrats on the new car! It's awesome you're so eager to learn everything it can do!.... I know what you're talking about I always discover features over time! 🎉
Great video. I have the same car and also love it. I will put my list together later of some of the other things you missed 😂
Appreciate you watching... glad you liked it 🙏🏼
That would be great to hear what your list is. You've got to make that video! 🚀
Great review. Thank you for not regurgitating the same talking points as all other reviews
Appreciate that! 😎
As an owner it makes you see different stuff and you have a vested interest because you paid for it.
THANKS for watching! 👍
Hi, here in the UK I'm looking at the lexus RX 500 your video was spot on full of all the things that we foget to ask the sales person. I'm looking for comfort and performance . Many thanks for your time in the making of this video. SPOT ON
Appreciate the kind words! 🙏🏼
I KNOW you'll love the 500!
The performance is wonderful and the turning with the rear steering will be a BIG + there in the UK!
Excited for you....have you decided on a color?
I have a 2020 ES350 F sport with Mark Kevison audio and I love. My next it will be the RX 500h.Great video!
Super excited for you to get one!
It’s a joy to drive daily. It adds an element to the RX that’s just been missing but I have to say that ES 350 that you have is pretty fantastic too! A VERY COMFORTABLE car!
Thanks for watching 👍🏼
I had last gen RX.. This RX500h is amazing, I love it. Very smooth and great to drive. Your going 80 mph feels like 55... And its quick.
Totally agree with the RX500h! @@twfinc6855
Nice car. We just got the 2024 RX 450H+. Coming from 3 previous RX and and NX for last 10+ years.
Oh WOW! You're like us we've had a ton of Lexus Vehicles.... but this is our first RX!
Excited for you on your new 24'!
Thanks for watching 👍
Very thorough review, thank you for making the time to share! I want a good road trip highway cruiser, and like the TX. I do see locally an almost new RX500h for significantly cheaper private party, but am worried about the bolstered seats and them being too aggressive or tight as I am a larger guy. Thanks for a wonderful review, your passion is infectious!
the seats are definitely tight..... the Luxury 450 or 350 is magical, that is actually what my son said, too... the comfort was replaced for aggression... wish they were totally adjustable like the Mercedes seats.... you can make them as aggressive or comfortable and open as you want.
Thanks for the kind words!
Just bought one! We’ve had many Lincoln’s which seemed to get worse with each newer model (our 2008 was the best overall MKx we had). We are trading a 2023 Passport Elite, which was so disappointing. This care was truly impressive and I can’t wait to take delivery in a few days! Black, fully-loaded!
The black is going to be incredible. Is it the caviar metallic or solid black? I know you’re going to love your RX. Great decision such an easy and comfortable vehicle to drive. Are you getting a 500 H or one of the other RX trims?
I have a 2017 RX450h F sport V6, I was going to up date to RX500h but when I learned it was coming out in only 4cly engine I changed my mind. 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.
Totally understandable! The V6 was a beast! and THE best option....sadly they got rid of it!
You can see how much enthusiasm and passion you have for cars, just like me 😀 RX is really an amazing car.
Appreciate that!!!....YES love cars maybe too much LOL!
Happy owner of a 2022 RX450h Fsport/Handling Package here. I love it but admit I'm intrigued by the power of the 2024. Who knows, if the 4 cylinder-turbo proves as reliable as the time tested V6, perhaps I'll upgrade in a couple of years.
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.
Lol... Im not buying one for my kids... can barely afford one for myself (but it was worth it).
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!
Appreciate the comment and thanks for watching 👍
the new Rxs get lots of complaints about the beeps and warnings they give you. I just want to drive from point A to point B without any disturbance!
Your review helped me make my decision!
I hope you really love it! Glad the video was helpful!! 🙏🏼
@@GabrielSedlakOfficial I do!
Loved the review!! It’s on my list to test drive!
You should! It's really a fantastic ride! It maneuvers so effortlessly especially because of the rear steering!
Thanks for watching 👍
If one day Lexus has a self interior and exterior cleaning technology it will be a revolution
Love it‼️
Great job with sharing your vehicle 😊
Thank You‼️‼️‼️
Really appreciate that!! 🙏🏼
Thanks for the comment and for watching 👍
Coming from a Lexus LC 500 I should have been disappointed with the RX500h f sport but I’m not. It doesn’t corner like an LC but everything else is spot on. It’s quick it’s comfortable, corners well in sport mode, has fantastic tech and is beautifully made.
Hey I had an 18' LC 500 as well mine had the carbon top with the spoiler that deployed and the rear steering.
It's still one of my all-time favorite cars..... I never should've sold it a few years back.
Agree this RX 500 is pretty amazing and so easy to use.
I'm seriously considering getting another LC down the road this time likely the convertible my wife and I want an "us" car for date nights.
Thanks so much for the comment and thanks for watching I'm excited for you! Enjoy that RX!
I am very tempted by a used on and then keep it for a decade.. the only concern is fitting three children where one is in a car seat too. Shame they do not do a longer 7 seater version.
Oh yes! 3 kiddos and one is a car seat... Yeah, 3 rows that is easy to access is KEY!
Well done video. Thank you for providing an honest and authentic personal opinion.
Thanks for watching! I appreciate the kind words 🙏🏼
Oh bravo 👏🏿 review of the RX 500h am sold over the Volvo XC90 Hybrid.
Glad to hear it! You're going to love it! 🎉
What an authentic review
Will look into getting it soon
Thanks for watching ... If you do get one, you'll really enjoy it! 👍
thanks for such a thorough review! I'm waiting for the 2025 although not sure if we'll see any major changes.
I appreciate you watching, and congrats! Excited for you the 500H is wonderful!
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. Thanks
I’m in the same boat. Looking at the BMW and Porsche. But research is telling me that this might be the car!
@@jamieb6049 My only hiccup with BMW having owned an X5 years ago, the depreciation on the X5 is deplorable
@@jamieb6049 I have a Porsche but I'm considering this vehicle. Cost of ownership is drastically different. Be ready to shell out lots of money for routine maintenance on a Porsche but that is pretty well-known these days, unless you are willing to do some things on your own. Can't go wrong either way but I would say Porsche/BMW are more performance oriented.
@@scratchpar1710 that’s why I keep going back to looking at the Lexus. I’ve had 3 Toyotas and a Honda in the past and they’ve all been great. My Sequoia that I drive currently is a 2016. The only problem I’ve ever had is three tire sensors needed to be replaced. It’s just bigger than I need now. It’s still staying in the family though. Anyway, looking at the depreciation of other luxury cars just takes some of the fun out of the other luxury cars. I guess I’m too practical lol
@@ajkavanaugh1977 yes, the cost of maintenance is another issue. Also where I live finding a good mechanic may be difficult and the closest dealership for Porsche is over an hour away.
I wish the camera didn’t move SO MUCH!! the movement and zooming almost gave me motion sickness. Other than that great review
How is the legroom? I’m 6”3’ and have the Acura MDX Type S. While I love the car, the gas mileage I seriously hate at this point. The hybrid version will work in my favor big time when I’m on the road to visit family every month (5 hour drive)
My Son is 6'3, and he always rides in the front passenger seat and says it is great, but since the driver's seat has all the controls, steering, etc., My other son is 6'1, drives it and loves it!.....
I'm with you on long drives because the performance seats should be great, but, TOTALLY drive on and test all the seat adjustments first. 🙏🏼
Thanks for watching 👍
@@GabrielSedlakOfficial thank you for responding and your perspective. I’m ALWAYS in the driver seat, so knowing your sons are tall makes the RX more appealing. I plan to test drive the RX soon.
I have this car in Caviar with red interior. I really enjoy the car but unfortunately whenever it rains hard the roof leaks extremely bad. It’s been in the shop over two weeks and it might soon be a buy back from Lexus.
NO WAY!! leaking roof!... that is unacceptable. Are they going to take it back or are you keeping it!
LOVE the Caviar with red.... mean looking!
Thanks for watching, and would love to hear what Lexus does for you with that issue.
The problem is usually a clogged water channel drain, pretty easy to diagnose and fix at home.
@@GabrielSedlakOfficialI found out yesterday they will replace the pano roof. We’ll see if that fixes it! I hope so 🤞
@@Fearless-1drains were not the issue. They checked that. Replacing the pano roof now. I had water coming in over every seat but the rear passengers side. I think if the tubs were blocked it wouldn’t be that widespread. Also at the time it happened the car had less than 600 miles on it.
@@pklemm1 hi, did you get the issue fixed in the end?
Wow this ford is a firebird! Nice baby raptor
Very nice Review Brother. Kool 👍🏼🖖🏼🙏🏼🔯
Thanks for the kind words!
It's a great vehicle 🚗 🚀
Thanks for watching 👍
Excellent review.
Really appreciate that! 🙏🏼
Thanks for watching👍
Great Video! How comfortable are seats for a long road trip? Are they the same as the RX350?
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!
Thanks for watching 👍
Great video just test drove one today,
lol and bought one caviar color 500 h other rims
The safety features include your insurance data about drivers habits and will base on your safe driving record
Fantastic review... All the car you'll ever really need in the real world.....
Agree..... does everything great. Exactly Thanks for the comment and for watching 👍
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.
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!
Thanks for the comment and for watching 👍
Been waiting for the GX 550 but it’s taking forever….BUT, I’m not keen on 13-17 mpg with the GX. Looking for an alternative and the RX seems doable….
The mileage is not the best for sure on the GX. Have you driven the new GX yet?
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.
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.
Appreciate you detailed comments!
Thanks for watching 👍
I like your review. Thx! Question: dose this car have a start-stop function? Meaning when car stops the engine shut off? This is annoying feature and I hope the hybird could help on this.
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
Thanks for watching 👍
couldn't agree more
🙏🏼Appreciate you watching! 😀
I apologize if I missed this, but is this a 2024 or 2025? Thank you for your excellent video. We were thinking of buying the 350h but after your video, the 500h may be the better option!
Actually, it's 2023! 😀 I know the latest one even offers a Blackline Special Edition:
Here is the Lexus Pressroom specs for 2025: pressroom.lexus.com/vehicle/2025-lexus-rx/ Thanks for watching and for the comment! 👍
@@GabrielSedlakOfficialI was able to snag a 2025 Rx500h Black Line Special Edition at the end of December. My first Lexus and I absolutely love it. I traded my 2016 S550 and I don’t miss it all. For those who are wanting the V6 to return, I went from a V8 to a four cylinder and was pleasantly surprised by the quickness of the 500h. Not much difference in acceleration. Awesome review by the way.
You didn't talk about the controls. Many reviewers say the controls are frustrating to use. Do you agree?
Not so much.... a small learning curve, then it's second nature. But it's definitely not Honda-level intuitive... 😊 Most cars have become more and more complex. I hope it goes the other way soon
Great review!
Really appreciate that!
Thanks for watching 👍
I got the 2023 RX 350 platinum plus the only thing I don’t like about mine, It should be one color all white and I love white
I bet you LOVE IT! The 23 is Awesome, and proven!
Thanks for watching 👍
What is your average gas mileage? I wonder bc many have complained about underperformance there compared to the Lexus released official figures of 27/28
It's more like 19-22.
On a long road, it is better. 😵💫
@@GabrielSedlakOfficial What are you talking about? I've been driving rx500h for almost one year. Average is over 28mpg on everyday commute, 10 miles one way busy highway. When taking easy on accelerator it's maximum 33mpg.
@@bobsum1745tbh, I’ve seen on Reddit and comments and long term reviews a lot of extremes. Some getting in the teens and some getting the claimed mpg. Trying to decide, but appreciate both of you gents’ input!
Thank you for a great review. Just one question re transmission. Is it CVT or 6-8 speed transmisson.
Great question…
It’s a 6 speed with the hybrid… does a wonderful job and super smooth!
366 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque
Thanks for watching 👍🏼
You have me looking at 500h im still in a 2017 ls460. Hate that i only get 16 MPG. With this RX i can keep the 360 hp and get better mpg.
I think you'll REALLY enjoy driving it... Have you tested one yet?
No physical buttons for drive select?
You didn't talk about the difference between 2023 vs 2024 which the title of this video.
Thanks for the clarity....meant to say 23/24 because they are almost exactly the same except for a slight price increase, and a couple small updates.
The 2023 RX500H has had some issues of dying and leaving owners stranded on the side of the road. Did they ever fix the problem?
Goodness!... I haven't heard of that....I'll look into it as well.
Thanks for the comment 👍
I need a new car but can’t part ways with my 20122 Benz ML 350. It’s such a fun car to drive, pretty powerful, but they don’t make cars the same anymore. Im thinking of a Lexus but still doesn’t convince me 🤦♀️
Have you had a chance to drive any of the new Lexus?? They are great! Even if you don't get one you get to experience how solid they are. LOVE Mercedes, I've had a bunch, can't go wrong there either.
Thanks for watching 👍
Im with you on people not being able to use phones while driving
I know right! 😵💫
I need a truck like this. Small
Is the gas engine the tiny 4cylinder or the 3.5L 6 cylinder?
2.4 L 4 cylinder engine
4.... 😵💫 Wish it was a V6 and no hybrid... but it does a great job nonetheless!
Do the F Sport seats have a massage function?
If they have is it good?
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.
@ 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.
0:59 That gap on the front fender / wheel well looks odd.
whats the range for fully ev mode?
It only adds boost it doesn't run on EV only. 👍 It will go EV up to 10 miles an hour then the engine starts.
Does it have auto start stop feature?
Yes it does but it's so subtle that you don't even notice it which is different.... the electric is so smooth mated to the engine they are both virtually silent and interchange seamlessly. Most hybrid are far more clunky...Lexus did a great job.
Hope that helps?
Thanks for watching 👍
what’s mpg,
is it really 83 miles w/ hybrid?
For us, it seems to be around the high 30's...
I need to test it out on a road trip and then do a video about it.
I found this from Lexus: good info on how it all works
Thanks for watching 👍
During light acceleration at low speeds, the vehicle is powered by the front electric
motor and rear electric motor*. The gasoline engine is shut off.
During normal driving, the vehicle is powered mainly by the gasoline engine. The
gasoline engine also powers the generator to recharge the battery pack and to drive
the motor.
During full acceleration, such as climbing a hill, both the gasoline engine, the front
electric motor and rear electric motor* power the vehicle.
During deceleration, such as when braking, the vehicle regenerates kinetic energy
from the front wheels to produce electricity that recharges the battery pack.
While the vehicle is stopped, the gasoline engine, front electric motor and rear
electric motor* are off, however the vehicle remains on and operational.
The EPA rates the 2024 Lexus RX 450H+ at 35 mpg combined when running on hybrid power and 83 MPGe when including electric driving.Oct 26, 2023
right, you dnt have the plug in
any reason why you didn’t choose a plug-in/ hybrid
The HUD is NOT faint, your sunglasses are most likely polarized, and that gives you that result. It's not Lexus, you would not see any other brand's HUD with polarized glasses. Don't knock something until you have all the facts. Also you can adjust the HUD brightness in Setting on the main scree.
My major gripe is that instrument cluster.I simply couldn't endure looking at it while around the steering wheel.Very disappointed that Lexus has incorporated it in this new RX and most of their new models.Wouldn't purchase any Lexus with it.
I have this car but you need to learn a lot before you drive this car. Safety is the first thing you need to learn. Dealership don't tell you all safety.
Agree It's definitely a car that needs to be learned, not just driven! 🙏🏼
این ماشین مدل چه سالی هست؟
These is the new Lexus I’ll be getting. Trading my BMW 2011 335i convertible. Only 38k mls on BMW., but I want something bigger for travel. I’m excited to get this new 2025 rx 500h. SOLD SOLD SOLD.❤❤❤
Congrats, you're going to love it! 🎉
The color is whatever the wife says it is ;)🤣😂
Does it have steering memory
Hey, do me a favor I’m not sure I understand. What do you mean steering memory? Are you talking about an auto parking feature or the steering the assists you keeping and on the road while you’re driving?
I like to have one but it's beyond my paygrade right now.
You should totally test drive one and put it on your vision board even if you got a preowned one. It’s going to be sought after…
The RX is surprisingly fun to drive and comfortable.
Thanks so much for watching 👍🏼
Can you have vented and heat at the same time ? Suggestion Lexus ...no one else has that and it would be awesome
We tried and couldn't make it happen.... would be a great feature.
Thanks for watching 👍

Are you a Lexus dealer? Why did you have so many LXs 😭
No, I'm not a dealer.... 😵💫😁
It's just the 2010 LX 570 was the first nice vehicle we ever bought when we started having some success with our company.
Our family got hooked on it, and we just kept on trading them in whenever new updates or body changes occurred because we loved the LX so much.
We've traveled extensively across the country
in them and all of our children were raised in LX's. We just thought it was time for a change to see how we liked the RX. Great so far!
Thanks for watching! 👍
Somehow far LESS cargo space than a RAV4. Crazy.
He said it was like a sewing machine😂
Never liked Lexus but this one looks really nice but also expensive.
If you end up going this direction it's a pretty fantastic car. One of the best things about it is how effortless it is to drive it maneuver it and park it.
If this one's a little too pricey, the RX 350 luxury is incredible it's not as peppy, but it's more comfortable because the seats are much softer, either way, the RX is a great option. Thanks so much for the comment and thanks for watching👍
My mom likes lexus rx 350 2024 and Nissan muruno.
They are both wonderful cars!!
She has good taste 👍🏼
I have one. I do not like the seatbelts. They do not swivel and are a pain to manage each time. They also feel cheap. Subarus have a much better setup. Very annoying .
Suburus gets better and better all the time... odd features can drive you nuts for sure!
looks like you like white vehicles :-) Very nice car !
Appreciate that! .... it does look like white is a pattern for us LOL!!
Thanks for watching! 👍
What is it with your white cars !?!
Lexus has such beautiful colours in their range…….
I was part of a color theme for our business, which is over now. Excited to explore others!
Thanks for watching 👍
$80K++ including T&L, plus extended warranty, etc.? Not for a car with a whiney 2.4L 4 cylinder engine. Ridiculous! Put the tried-and-true Lexus/Toyota V6 engine in it, and then I would consider it - IF I felt a need to replace my wonderful 2022 RX450H, which does have that wonderful bullet-proof 6. 😍
You should try driving it first, the 500h destroys the 450h in performance and this body style looks much better
TOTALLY agree that the V6 would be the best option for sure..... I know it!! 😵💫
Yes its nice but the olny way I could afford 1 is if I won a lotto....thing cost as much as a house
Agree in a few years every car will be 100K, they keep climbing... this one is 68-72K
Thanks for watching 👍
Seems like the design team ran out of money and hence the design without proper exhausts
Sometimes, the most simple things are overlooked... 🤪
I love lacroix and I know when I see a lacroix can 😂
😁🥤 Gotta love it!
I really don’t need a car, or a government, telling me where to look.
The one thing that has me scratching my head is how lexus released this new gen rx but failed to address the rear doors that when opened, result in the rear tire being exposed. If you lean into the car or are not careful getting out, you will get tire dressing and/or tire grime all over your pants. One of the biggest engineering flaws i have ever seen.
Goodness! Yes, I need to check that out... totally makes sense, and definitely way too open to the tire... THANK YOU! and for the comment 👍
Great video quality on iPhone
THANK YOU! 👍
Hate the front end. Looks like someone glued cheap plastic lattice to the front end. Lol
He's yummy - I'm subscribing!
I miss the roar of the engine
Nothing like the ROAR!!! 🚀😎... agree!
I think ambient lighting overboard like in all the Germans looks stupid.
The ambient lighting can be overboard that’s for sure and when it’s super bright, it actually is distractive…
The RX series is now the. Ugliest body ever mated to a lowly 4 banger.
I like the fascia, looks like a rabbit face with teeth!
Great review, my take is that iPhone and iA has made the human mind to become less intelligence than a monkey. When people drive, they must pay attention to their driving and should not need these features that just cost more when they brake. I own an FJ Cruiser and think people are becoming super lazy when it comes to such features, unless they always fly First Class, not even Business Class. LOL
I do still love driving a vehicle that is 100% analog best.... Agree ;-)
I don’t like the mirror put on the door lock unlikely
It's a decent ride but not MDX ride
Hey, appreciate that it’s pretty awesome for sure, but hey, I cannot deny that that MDX is fantastic. I think Acura does an incredible job with that vehicle!
Thanks for watching.
I’ll take this over the MDX for mileage and resale value alone
4 cyclinder? No thanks
