I just traded my 2022 NX FSport for a 2025 NX 450h+. It wasn't in my plan but the car was available after someone backed out. I absolutely love it! It's the luxury model with everything I had on the FSport plus the digital rear view mirror. A more comfortable ride great gas mileage and no more premium gas!

@WYLNXCA I drive 300 round trip about once a week. I can charge at each place but still think I'd have to fill up more than that. But, I suppose I could try the premium gas and see how it compares.
F sport design has its own badge without any background (only silver paint on plastic). F sport handling with white background, F sport performance with black background. 3 badges are visually distinguishable. From my observation so far.
@@TheBreakfastLover unfortunately I believe current arrangement is for part compatibility the background of all 3 f sport badges use a plastic piece and the base of the f sport badge uses another piece. For Lexus just need paint the background plastic piece to white or black to designate handling and performance. Without background piece for design. The most cost effective approach indeed. F sport isn’t F cars. I don’t even think RX 500h should be called a f sport performance nor use the 500 number. There is nothing 500 relate to this vehicle. Unlike IS 500, at least has a 5.0 liter engine.
Kirk, The success of the RX 350h is no surprise at all.🤩 I do find it odd that there is a market for FWD RXs priced around $50K. Front wheel drive and fifty thousand dollars don't belong in the same sentence,🤨
I've got my Greenies and my Coke Zero and I'm buckled in !!! Let's go !!! I prefer the smaller infotainment screen. Less distraction from the road in front of me. As long as the resolution and interface isn't compromised.
I'd also second the motion to make the 14" standard across the board. There's probably a $5 difference for Lexus between the two sizes, and this is simply an upsell tactic anyway. It wouldn't surprise me if it actually costs Lexus more to keep two different dash sizes than the price difference in screen sizes, but they make a killing on making you pay for the $1100 package.

Kirk, I am looking at a new vehicle. I am in between a Toyota Insignia Limited, a Lexus NX 350h, or a Lexus RX 350h. Wish all of these had the 5th gen system in lieu of the 4th. Obviously the difference is 15K. I do love a wagon, but either way, want a luxury vehicle that is reliable. Any help you could offer would be great. I am driving a 2004 Mazda 6 sports wagon, so I don't think I have 3-5 years, for these vehicles to be 5th gen, so need to make a choice. Love the channel!!
Oddly enough, these three are my top contenders for my next car. I really like the Signia because you get RX space at an NX price, but I'm a picky buyer for certain options/colors and Toyota inventory is still garbage. The NX is a nice car, but it can feel a bit cramped depending on what you're used to. RX is the top choice for sure, but it can get pricey quickly.
I test drove both the NX and RX. RX was definitely a smoother car to drive and ride in. I ended up getting the 2024 RX350h due to the space in the back for people to sit in during a 5.5 hr vacation drive.
I test drove all 3 of them and found that each car has something I liked that the others don't have. The Signia is a better price but lacks power, pricy and not as lux, the NX has power but I don't like the run flat tyres and lacks trunk space also not so attritive interior, the RX has a little more power then the Signia but too bulky for day to day use, expensive and handeles poorly. There's always something to be desired it seems.
Hi Kirk, I am considering replacing my subaru crosstrek, and struggling about hybrid and oil car. Any recommendation fro a family of 2 driving in NYC? thanks for your insights,
Thanks for the update. I was hoping for the 12" screen for 2025. You didn't mention if the tires are run flats or not. I would not buy the NX because of the run flats.
The rx500h is an easy choice over the BMW X3 M50 XDrive. In fact, the rx is a better choice, trim for trim against the X3 for 90% of the people buying this class of vehicle.
Base $49,500 BMW X3 xDrive30 2.0-liter turbocharged 4 cylinder engine, producing 248 horsepower Loaded with everything is $56,275 Base $65,700 BMW X5 xDrive50e Turbo V6 (485 HP) with Electric/Hybrid operations. Loaded it with everything is $75,000
Mirage is another model that got the axe for the 2025 model year but whatever replaces the skyline Japan will replace the Q50 and we are still awaiting discontinuations of the LC, RC, and LS
Kirk, Is the 2025 RX f Sport front grill a redesign compared to the 2024 RX f Sport (gas combustion engine)? What about the 2025 RX f sport rear end? change there?
Just searched for Lexus RX500h in Europe - starting from EUR 95800 = USD 107000 - that is the "price" for base model. Not so fond of these prices vs USA pricing.
@@forestrussell5613 that sounds terrible I'm glad and hope Lexus doesn't do the full on "performance" SUV. None of them can handle well at all. They are heavy. So much top weight too the body roll is horrendous. The only performance SUVs that can actually handle close to what a car could do are $200,000+ SUVs
The RX drives much nicer. The NX is more bumpy and not as refined drive. I own the RX, but had an NX for a short term rental... RX is FAR superior in literally every way.
Kirk, Trying to decide between a Crown Signia Limited and a Lexus 350h. I'm wondering if I will get a better service arrangement from the Lexus dealer. Have you considered doing a comparison video? What are your thoughts?
I wanted a Crown Signia Limited. All pricing for this car was 49-50K. My dealership got one in the colors we wanted, my salesman emailed me we were excited. BUT dealer marked up car to over 58k!!!!!! Based on 'market demand'. I went down the road to a Lexus dealer, found a 2024 brand new RX350h Premium for 56k. Nothing to debate here. We drove the RX350h home and love it! If Toyota dealers keep adding dealer adjustments to their pricing they are not going to sell these cars. Why pay more for a Toyota when you can get a Lexus for less or even money? No comparison in the cars as far as appointments and build quality.
I'll never own a RX 350 with the 4 cylinder engine and that ugly front end either. I knew this new CEO was going to ruin Lexus and it has happened and they're going to suffer the consequences for it
Well Akio has ruined Toyota too. They and Lexus are slowly going out of business And I as the infamous internet Toyota hater knew Lexus would continue to disappoint
Hi Kirk, I love Lexus as well and mostly watch Lexus news from your channel. I am not a fun of turbo charge. Buying 2025 Lexus Rx 350h or Certified 2022 Lexus Rx350 V6. Which is better buy. I trust your judgement. Thanks
Even the market is about SUV, there are still lot of people waiting for new sedan, for example the new IS, looks like they are not coming as EV in 2026😔😔😔😔😔
I wish they reduce the use of plastics in the car.... I drove other vehicles, and their interior is way better in the materials quality department (I don't know about the reliability ).
I can at least can tell you how hard it is to find a used is350 with JUST the bigger screen. I hate buying base of anything and rather have a maxed out camry than a base IS. Seems to me Lexus buyers think differently
Hey Kirk, been watching for a while, and I notice you've never mentioned or made a video about the critical flaw in the Toyota/Lexus CANBUS system for MY 16-23.
Sadly after 5 RX350’s, I too left Lexus for BMW X5. Can’t see paying so much for an overpriced 4 cylinder. BMW is in fact the ultimate driving machine, the SUV is outstanding. Bye bye Lexus.
New turbo I4 and hybrid turbo I4 are excellent engines with Great power performance and more .miles better than the old V6. Anyway looking at ever increasing Rx sales its very clear full majority of people have no issue with the price. Anyway bye bye Hilton Wait they just found a new buyer as you left
I am enjoying my BMW experience hands down so much better than the RX. The ride, handling and the acceleration is far superior than the RX. A V6 engine is so much smoother than a V4, V4’s acceleration are loud and the engine vibrates. Can’t compare to a v6. I also heard the reliability on the RX is dropping as well because of the turbo 4’s.
@@hiltoncancel2270 new turbo I4 and hybrid turbo I4 are excellent engines with Great power performance torque mpg plus more. Miles better than any V6. New Rx is ultra reliable and flawless like always. Stop trying to create non existing issues about a perfect vehicle. Bmw don't have v6's instead its i6 engines. Lol
Having owned a 2023 RX 500h for six months, extremely disappointed in the ride and performance. As I stated before having owned 5 RX 350’s, I have had the experience of driving the SUV’s as far back as a 2013. Having owned the hybrid, (loved it) as well as an F sport (loved it as well). All great cars and extremely reliable. Until the 500h, terrible. Transmission failure after 1,500 miles. Total replacement. Had a chance to drive the 350 for a week while tge 500h was being prepared. I was not impressed sluggish, engine vibration and noisy. You are correct the BMW is an I6 but I was generalizing between 6’s and 4’s. I have driven and owned many cars, I do agree Lexus’s are great cars very reliable until 2023. Luckily I was able to sell the 500h and purchase the BMW. Although we will disagree and that’s ok but I am stating first hand facts which I have experienced. Hopefully you have had better luck and you are enjoying your Lexus. I on the other hand am enjoying my ride and glad that I have moved on.
As a Lexus owner, I may go with the Genesis for my next purchase. I love Lexus' reliability, the build quality, the cost of ownership .... but they are getting uglier by the minute.
They can't seem to get the technology interface nailed down. Why are they so bad at this when its one of the top features people look for in new cars? How much longer can they claim their customer base doesn't care? It's a bad look at this point. Sad because the rest of the car is amazing.
New turbo I4 and hybrid turbo I4 are excellent engines with Great power performance plus more. Miles better than the old V6. Anyway the new Rx is selling very well and liked by a full majority of people.

Hi Kirk, I love Lexus as well and mostly watch Lexus news from your channel. I am not a fun of turbo charge. Buying 2025 Lexus Rx 350h or Certified 2022 Lexus Rx350 V6. Which is better buy. I trust your judgement. Thanks
Both good buys. Do you enjoy saving money on gas and having really stretches between fill ups? Get the hybrid. If you need power, get the v6
I wish they would create a smaller GX 550 with 2 row seating.
Supposedly the "IS" is getting an update design internally, fingers crossed
Even the market is about SUV, there are still lot of people waiting for new sedan, for example the new IS, looks like they are not coming as EV in 2026😔😔😔😔😔
It better have a lot of features
I wish they reduce the use of plastics in the car.... I drove other vehicles, and their interior is way better in the materials quality department (I don't know about the reliability ).
Nice.
When IS?
They did not change the grill😢
Soon as they made RZ, it’s over.
At these prices I’m in an X5, not even close.
true- X5 too costly... not to mention the poor reliability. Had to ditch my X5 3 years ago for the better Lexus.. nooo problems since 😊
Absolutely no excuse for small screens anymore, especially in an expensive luxury car. Shame on Lexus for cheaping out on this, shame!
I wonder what percentage of RX buyers choose the base model? Will most RX buyers be affected by this?
I can at least can tell you how hard it is to find a used is350 with JUST the bigger screen. I hate buying base of anything and rather have a maxed out camry than a base IS. Seems to me Lexus buyers think differently
@@nicksim9154exactly I agree 💯
Just give me my updated ct200h😡
Will there be a RX 450 h+ in 2025? Sure hope so…
Nice🇸🇦
Lexus should be hybrid only.
Absolutely not.
your mom.
I think the black thing is tired.
Hey Kirk, been watching for a while, and I notice you've never mentioned or made a video about the critical flaw in the Toyota/Lexus CANBUS system for MY 16-23.
Check the insurance first I checked RX350H $7000/year 😱in Toronto
HURR DURR I NEED MUH 55 INCH TV
85" *
They need to add remote start to the key fob
It’s already on there, it’s been on there.
So no turbo? No tl;dr 😢
Sadly after 5 RX350’s, I too left Lexus for BMW X5. Can’t see paying so much for an overpriced 4 cylinder. BMW is in fact the ultimate driving machine, the SUV is outstanding. Bye bye Lexus.
New turbo I4 and hybrid turbo I4 are excellent engines with Great power performance and more .miles better than the old V6. Anyway looking at ever increasing Rx sales its very clear full majority of people have no issue with the price. Anyway bye bye Hilton Wait they just found a new buyer as you left
Enjoy the BMW experience 😂
I am enjoying my BMW experience hands down so much better than the RX. The ride, handling and the acceleration is far superior than the RX.
A V6 engine is so much smoother than a V4, V4’s acceleration are loud and the engine vibrates. Can’t compare to a v6. I also heard the reliability on the RX is dropping as well because of the turbo 4’s.
@@hiltoncancel2270 new turbo I4 and hybrid turbo I4 are excellent engines with Great power performance torque mpg plus more. Miles better than any V6. New Rx is ultra reliable and flawless like always. Stop trying to create non existing issues about a perfect vehicle. Bmw don't have v6's instead its i6 engines. Lol
Having owned a 2023 RX 500h for six months, extremely disappointed in the ride and performance. As I stated before having owned 5 RX 350’s, I have had the experience of driving the SUV’s as far back as a 2013. Having owned the hybrid, (loved it) as well as an F sport (loved it as well). All great cars and extremely reliable. Until the 500h, terrible. Transmission failure after 1,500 miles. Total replacement. Had a chance to drive the 350 for a week while tge 500h was being prepared. I was not impressed sluggish, engine vibration and noisy.
You are correct the BMW is an I6 but I was generalizing between 6’s and 4’s. I have driven and owned many cars, I do agree Lexus’s are great cars very reliable until 2023. Luckily I was able to sell the 500h and purchase the BMW. Although we will disagree and that’s ok but I am stating first hand facts which I have experienced. Hopefully you have had better luck and you are enjoying your Lexus. I on the other hand am enjoying my ride and glad that I have moved on.
My 2017 RX airbag electronics is gone - zero trade in value. The new RX grill I'd hideous, back pillar looks weird. Genesis GV80...
Shape of the cars is very much against cargo space. I don't like.
As a Lexus owner, I may go with the Genesis for my next purchase. I love Lexus' reliability, the build quality, the cost of ownership .... but they are getting uglier by the minute.
Rx500h f sport has issues and lots of problems avoid this version. We should be getting near invoice for 2024s at this point.
My 2024 has a 12 inch screen.
Lexus and Toyota are spoiled righ now ......don't expect the same level of luxury as the competition.
They should make a RX with a V8 like dey do with RC F, IS F, GS F
They can't seem to get the technology interface nailed down. Why are they so bad at this when its one of the top features people look for in new cars? How much longer can they claim their customer base doesn't care? It's a bad look at this point. Sad because the rest of the car is amazing.
Me personally, I wouldn't buy a 2025 since the 3.5 liter V-6 engine is no longer used.
New turbo I4 and hybrid turbo I4 are excellent engines with Great power performance plus more. Miles better than the old V6. Anyway the new Rx is selling very well and liked by a full majority of people.
And more torque
78000 USD for RX is too much? - check european prices
Can the car now show Asian characters? I think for all Toyota and Lexus models in 2024 are still showing squares.
I’m just hoping they update the tech for the 2025 Lexus is 500 -,- smh 🤦🏽♂️
