- Here is my take on the new RX 500h. It’s a remarkable leap over any RX before it in regards to the way it drives, the tech and luxury. One will be in the driveway!
Thanks @SchwaaFilms for making me look better!
Ask your questions, happy to answer what I can now that the embargo is lifted.
I heard that there is a Proactive Driving Assist feature on the RX but the journalists I have watched so far have not even mentioned it.
@@romairoblackstock5100 I didn’t engage it, was too busy having fun driving it. Will try it next go round with the RX

@@MikeForsythe That's understandable.Please do.
What’s the gas mileage like?
@@chrisowens1325 not sure I was driving it hard most of the time so didn’t pay attention. I’m sure whatever it’s rated (I think 26mpg) it will meet.
This all blacked out RX with the red interior looks STUNNING!!!
It’s sweet!
Woah! Love the style of this walk around! I was great seeing you and Sam in Santa Barbara.
I just be talking bro lol
This guy picked me up in a 2018 f sport package ubering. Shit was a treat.
Amazing job Lexus did with new RX F👏🏻
Where did you see this RX F?
I do wish there was a "RX-F" package with the v8 from the is500/LC
Had mine for 2 weeks and I really love this car. Plenty of power, very comfortable with all the latest tech. I’ve come out of a Lexus LC 500 which I loved but the RX does everything so well. Don’t know why people think SUV’s have got to be so sporty. If you want sporty buy a sports car and enjoy that hard unforgivable ride.
Agreed It’s a great driving SUV!
That black makes the truck look nicer.
Hi, sounds like you said another 1500 hp. I agree! 😅. Joke aside, I agree about the black hiding the nose. It's the front hood line that really makes the nose stick out. The black hides the line and makes it look more seamless.
Yup dark colors will be the way to go. The copper is so striking i don’t even notice lol.
the quality on this is immaculate. love the walkthrough
Thanks a ton!
@SoleDreamz Maybe it's the camera angle but the reviewer/driver seems awfully cramped.
@@dabigd1860 I am 6 foot 5. Fits like a glove, no issues.
It looks great. He forgot to mention the rear wheel steering it has for curves and parking
STUNNING in Caviar! That color with blacked out windows...ohhhhh! But I live in the desert and would be washing it every other day. Like the black 'chrome' vs silver. Wish they would do that on more cars or at least make it an option. Thank you for your review.
Caviar is so good. Yeah it did need wiping constantly.. worth it tho lol
@@MikeForsythe 😆
i've always loved the RX. Not a huge fan of the grill. how is the infotainment system? Great video
Amazing video mike, tuned in for more. - Jeff at Lexus of Portland
Thanks bro!!
Lord it’s me!! Bless me with this vehicle 🎉
Finally got to sit in on of these. Very Impressive might be the new family vehicle!
This thing would be sick with a turbo V6 or a V8
Would love it with 450-500hp!
@@MikeForsythe Would probably be the best selling car in the country!
We had a mule with the 5.0L and RWD only, we were hoping they would do an electric front and gas rear setup but it never came to fruition.
It has 376 horse power. Not bad at all
All my vehicles are whites and i know not all vehicles look good in white, it all depends on the design of the vehicle itself. I thought about getting white again with this new RX, but this video makes me having a second thought...this black/red combo looks sexy!!
Hey Davny… i had all white cars and now went to black lol… i think black or grey is what i would go with but maybe i need to see a white 500 first
It's too common a color. I personally would go for black too, or the dark blue, new copper paint..
🇺🇸 I want the FU grille back! But, it's better proportion.
Yesssssir🔥🔥🔥 Need one!
The caviar looks super cool on that spec. Does it feel under powered or do you feel that you just want more power? Nice video you look genuinely excited about it.
Under powered? 367hp by far the most hp the rx has had plus its an hybrid so its instant torque.
It has more than enough power. I’m jaded since I am always driving powerful cars. For most it will be fantastic. Easily the fastest RX.
Thanks, it’s a pretty shocking drive for a RX. Instead of wanting to park it and drink wine, we drove it all over the mountain roads.
I like both black and blue exterior color with red interior.
The outgoing model does have included storage in the rear seat armrest. At least it does in the 450h with the luxury trim.
Thanks, I got that wrong
Love the fact that you're so loyal to Lexus!
it is a good looking vehicle and I do like the grill it doesnt look out of place
DaMn💥 that black color is ❤
caviar is so good
The Style is there but look like the made the RX little bit Smaller than regular one , but we have NX in line already , hmmm 🧐
It looks fantastic.
Really nicely filmed. Really shows off the car. Why not 30fps next time?
I would love to get a 500h
What an amazing review Mike!
Appreciate that!
I love it.. It's really beautiful
you really make the car look like a hatchback 🥲
actually they have back seat storage on previous RX
Brooooo this spec!!!! And my dude with the Banned Jordan 1’s! 🔥
Always gotta rep the sneaker game!
Just like he said, "I was questioning the style" but when I saw the dark version of this car, I knew that i loved it.
I guess you didn’t have previous model, because rear seat has the same hand rest as this one.
we had a loaded RX 359 F sport but I guess i forgot ua-cam.com/video/OagiQ4wlXK4/v-deo.html
I got to spend some time with this car at Pebble Beach and I wasn’t a huge fan of the seats on the F sport performance. They are sporty seats and they have some side bolstering
Wow, that black one looks sweet! But, good bye V6! One of best V6 engines ever made, going bye bye.
Great video dude, your a lucky guy, I don’t think we are here in Ireland are getting the 500 model RX. blue would be my colour though, I can dream, can’t I ?. 😢
Greetings from Atlanta! We were just talking about making a trip to Ireland 🇮🇪 today. I can ask about the 500h in Europe. Not sure yet.
that panomeric roof 🔥
Nice review Mike. That copper color is fire.
thanks Keith!
How much LOWER is its height then the previous generation. My knock on the Q5 is that its ride height sits too low, and it looks like RX really dropped a lot. What are your thoughts?
I think it’s about 1” lower if I recall the press release. Nothing crazy.
Might have to pick one up
It’s really well done
The RX is legendary
I love it but have never liked light bars, good vid mike!
Thank you
@JDM Bren I am desperately trying to like this redesign but...ugggghhh. it almost seems as if Lexus is pivoting away from comfort and luxury and trying to move more into Tesla territory. With all the tech stuff, that extra large monitor, lack of walnut or bamboo wood trim. I don't know. I absolutely love how lexus redesigned the LX. I pray and hope they don't radically redesign the ES, which i am considering.
@@dabigd1860 I hear you, but I love no wood trim lol and everyone is trying to be Tesla
Amazing Car I love the black WOW
Thank god for that black color!
Caviar is fantastic
It's the best looking RX thus far. Basically a lexus sedan in an SUV clothing
The new RX's look more premium with their interior design and more sporty with the exterior design.
agreed
Nice the black is nice also
Where can I get the hat!? Looks awesome!!!
Great video btw!! Keep up the good work.
Looks nice this car
In my opinion it's not as aggressive looking as the 2020-22 Versions, still nice though!
Great video Mike!
Thank you!
Black is the way to go, it hides the hideous front nose connecting the hood to the front in this particular design. Looks ggreat.
Curious to see dark grey as well.
Named as sports performance,but never see its off load driving test.
The suv looks great and for sure drives great ,, but surprised by you defining it as having a plenty of room in the back seat. Even in the front it looks tight. I believe those at Lexsus think that all people are 5.5. I won’t buy this car and then find myself sitting tight. At least they should have added a couple of inches of space at front and rear. Their engineers have no sense !
I am 6”5 and fit perfectly fine. As you can see I fit fine and didn’t adjust the front seat first. The RX didn’t grow in length but the wheelbase grew 2 inches. If you want larger they make an LX 600 with we own.
@@MikeForsythe Thank you for the update.
Amazing look!
Great review man
Thanks Joel!!
I need it . But definitely gotta buy house first ,
Same! It’s going to be a nice having both 🙌🏽
I with your body measurements I’d say stick to Cadillac Escalade and similar 😅
Good review though
haha, I have a LX 600 F Sport as a daily
Is this going to require premium fuel like older gen hybrids?
Yes
Would love the plug in hybrid but I think that is a year away here in US.
This would make a nice getaround vehicle.
With the updated interior and pano, I can finally start looking into purchasing a Lexus.
I've always wanted one but the interior was too outdated for the price point.
🙏Lexus🙏
What is said about pricing, WHOA! Madness.
It was released. Starts at 62k and about 72k loaded. Well priced to me
Amazing car the best 👍
Do the back seats go down if you wanted more trunk space?
Yes they fold pretty flat for more space r
Wait, so this package doesn’t have the rear ventilated/heated seats with 4 zone climate control?? It comes on the Non-sport luxury version.
Its optional and available
@@ibrahimbashir6634 I know. But he indicated this was the top of line F-Sport model, so why was it missing?
pre production unit
Is it me or does the new RX looks smaller than the previous Gen.....
Same length, wheelbase is longer and it’s lower.
Look pretty nice. Much better than BMW iX.
Nice car and nice Breds 👌
Nice to see another shoe head!
Bro the headlights look just like 2016 NX200t F Sport. Wtf you think it would be super amazing like no other headlights but no just like the older ones 😏
Lexus "500" use to mean a 5.0 liter V8 which was nice, and now they slipped in a V-6 hybrid non-turbo and call it a 500h. Shame on you Lexus and for 60K+ you only get 295hp. The V-6 camry non hybrid even has more hp (305hp) and the Telsa Performance in the same price range is way more powerful at 450hp. Granted the Lexus has a nicer interior, but not so good looking on the outside with that humongous grill. Its a non turbo does it really need that much cooling. I bet the grill is mostly fake design aesthetic.
The RX 500h F Sport Performance has 366hp and 409lbs of torque. I agree the 500 name is a bit confusing across the lineup.
Only thing I’m not liking on these new cars is the screen that’s permanently raised on the dash.Looks cheesy imo.I like the screens to be flushed into the dash or where they can be lowered into the dash
But it offers better visibility in a taller car like this
can't go wrong with #Lexus
best looking RX so far.
It has the accord front design. Look at it Carefully.
One word Beautiful fr
Dang either this or the Volvo XC60 and gv70 makes the best looking car
All 3 look good!
All 3 nice, but can't go wrong with a Lexus.
@@lex4758 At $75K most would look elsewhere.
I used to have a RX300 back in the day and the turning radius completely sucked. Could barely do a U-turn. Have they fixed this?
That was several generations back, current generation has a great turning radius for a suv.
Yes it’s better even though it’s a larger vehicle
You can’t get this with the Mark Levinson stereo or the Panorama 360 cameras due to chip shortage
correct, have to wait to order later this year
@@MikeForsythe Ha. Later this year is tomorrow! Hopefully it won’t be 6 months or longer
I'm hearing dealers are charging $10k extra markup.
Can you tell me if the rear seats fold down like the older RX’s do?
Yes very similar.
@@MikeForsythe Thank you.
Not sure about the interior actually
Where is your hoody from? Those are my initials and I dig it!
It’s the limited Edition “Dapper Dan x Gap” Hoodie. Pretty cool he keeps getting recognized. It’s not on the site anymore but i’m hoping they do more stuff together.
Get it on a lift let's see the bottom! Does the hood open? What's the warranty? What is the quarter mile times? Is this my grand mother's SUV?
hopeuflly i get another soon and can do that in atlanta
Is the transmission fast shifting, like an LC500?
You make the car look so small
How comfortable are the FSport seats? I’m a bigger guy as well lol.
They are fine but feels like you sit on top a bit not in the seat. I wish it had leg extenders like the luxury option on non f sport.
Lol it was the door slamming differently for any other door for me
By "electric mirror" I'm guessing you mean a rearview camera for mirror?
Yes a digital mirror sorry.
Man how tall are you?
Oh nevermind lol, 6.5
hahaha
Why are you wearing a G A P sweater unless you’re endorsed brewski?
The Dapper Dan collab? Nah i’m just a fan of his work. I have most of the hoodies.
How’s the real life Mpg?
Not sure as I was driving aggressive the entire time and didn’t really check.
Is it possible to remove starbucks coffee and redbull together with a cables from the car?
Means only that you dont care at all about the video quality, so then why should us?
people will have their iphone cords and starbucks and red bulls in the RX. It’s called reality.
Does this car have ambient lighting ?
Yes it does.
Is that an important feature? Lol
How much does it coast?
Pricing to be revealed later this year
Are red seats the only option? I prefer all black.
Black is another option 💪
Great video: Car: ugly front with a Nx/KIA bootie. I took a test drive.. not a fan of the turbo 4 banger too irritatingly loud. I like the 2021 Fsport much much better - looking too.
