2020 Lexus RX 350 F Sport | More Than A Facelift!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лип 2024
- For 2020 the RX 350 F Sport gets some upgrades including a refresh in the front and back for a sleeker and more modern design aligning with the rest of the Lexus lineup. Not everything is superficial though. It has improvements with beefier stabilizer bars (front and back) suspension changes, and more. It's a great vehicle and one of the safest 2 row luxury SUVs you can buy. What are your thoughts on this 2020 Lexus RX 350 F Sport model?

Do you like the refresh? Even if it’s not a “fun” or performance oriented luxury vehicle...it’s a “cant go wrong” type of everyday luxury vehicle.
Night video here: ua-cam.com/video/NYmDM3q0HHw/v-deo.html
*Thanks for watching and have a great day! 👍*
i agree, this isn't about being fun or standing out, this is the safe, consistent solution!
I truly love Lexus interior design 🥳
sometimes i have good fun in my old RX ;-) ua-cam.com/video/3bSB_TdBA8A/v-deo.html
How does this compare to the Lincoln Aviator?
I haven’t been in the new Aviator to really know 😕
Dreaming of Lexus on a Yaris budget.
No doubt lol 😂
Buy used, for the price of a Yaris, you can get a used, V6, AWD, Bluetooth, navigation, rearview cam, heated/cooled seats, & Toyota reliability, GS 350. OR there's the IS, ES, RX, LS, etc. OR other reliable brands, like Infiniti, Buick, or Acura...
bought a 10 year old RX450h...best car since over 20 years
I just bought a 2010 rx350 with 109k miles, so far so good, was well maintained... only cost $12k
April English it will last you forever.
Really like the POV camera for the test drive. I just got one of these and I can't wait to take some longer drives! SO nice.
I think your best part in your videos is the test drive 🤣. You have lots of fun. Great review Nolan 👏
You are one of the best reviewers on UA-cam! I can expect you to get 1M subscribers very soon!
Thank you very much!
I enjoyed that he added a clip of night driving . I would of liked it longer . Overall loved the review . Informative .
I'm loving those new fog lights/cornering lights
Awesome review buddy this is one of my favorite suv 🚙
I love that warning where you said, “Still don’t like the video? Make yours.” You gave that inscription like a boss. By the way, I enjoyed your review and the way you are spitting out the technical features of the SUV. Keep it up! Subscribed!
Thank you! I appreciate it 😁👍
Prime Autotainment, my pleasure. Please keep the videos coming, and be safe. 👍
Keep up the reviews I like all of them! Very informative
Brian Merrill thank you, glad to hear it!
It's odd that you only get the updated taillights ONLY IF you opt for the triple beam headlight option. Why not just give all the models the updated tail light design? Lol
Excellent review as always. Love that Lexus offers the red colored exterior or interior. Old school naturally aspirated V6, smooth sophisticated ride. Cheaper than the Germans. Perfect luxury SUV. Now, how to pay for it...........
Good job on this video man, you do a good work. The POI cam was nice too. Not all jerky, gives a good sense of being in the driver seat.
Thank you very much and I’m glad to hear it!
You have a great review style - it really sets you apart and I get to experience the car.
Thank you, Sir!
Thank you Frank!
great review
Keep doing exactly what you’re doing my friend 👍👍👍
Thank you!
What happened to the Self-induction pad under the central console? Has it been sacrificed for the two USB ports?
Great review ✊🏽!!
Thank you!
I am not sure about the headlights.. do they offer good night vision?
Great review 👍👍👍
Excellent review.
Thank you!
Great video, new subscriber. I love the redesign facia just awesome so much better than last yr spindal grill,. now all this suv need is plug in hybrid:-):-):-):-)
Lexus RX 350 F Sport
SUV with enough utility and power; while the design is just AMAZING, that HOOK omggg orgasmmm~ . Oh RELIABILITY, while all other cars break down, Lexus will last forever.
Hate the flat accelerator metal petal. Is there a choice? There are other ways to start the car. But do they all shut the engine off when you open the door?
Great review.
Thank you!
I could tell it instantly look diff with the fog lights at bottom and the fake black air vent above them
Btw Nolan love the intro music
Thanks Miguel!
GREAT VIDEO !!!!!
Thank you!
Great Review I love the refreshed I would buy that exact spec maybe that red is a little to bright.
Thanks Jerald! Me too, yeah it’s not quite my type of red
Great video. New subscriber!
Thank you very much!
Don’t forget about the hand rest that flips up to hold a small phone or iPod.
I wish they will enhance a little bit more on the front bumper design it's still a little bit wild and intimidating to me. and I wish they can mount the infotainment right against the dashboard like that of the Volvo XC60 2020.I need to replace my RX330 2004 and I'm debating between Mercedez GLE 2020 or another Lexus RX 350 but...I have to find the design that I like.
Waiting to trade my 2011 RX 450H (still in perfect shape) in. Waiting for the re-design that's coming next year. Nice job on the review buddy.
Chuck Kerber so 2021 will have a completely new look?
the refresh is all new for 2020. a complete redesign wouldn’t be expected until 2023-2024.
Thank you Chuck! Sorry I didn’t see this comment till now! Glad to hear yours is still running great!
Up and down on the lumbar comes in the luxury package. 6:43
Hi would you buy this over a honda crv 2023 touring hybrid?
Good review.. my lease on a 2016 rx fsport just ended. I test drove the 2020 fsport with the performance package and I didn’t feel any difference. Most likely will wait until summertime or September for better offers. Anyone has had similar experience?
Barely notice ambient light. Would be better to show it at night. An Acura MDX is still a value compare to Lexus. I might consider the RX Sport next time we upgrade instead of the MDX.
Cool video
I really like the lighting setup on this car, I'm also a fan of the front seats. I have the cold weather pkg on my Rav and I can vouch for that heat steering wheel, I almost anticipate the cold days so I have an excuse to turn it on, Lol!
22Kevi no kidding lol it’s a seriously underrated feature. Love it haha. Glad to hear you have it too. Hope you continue to enjoy that Rav my friend!
nice job!
Thank you 😁....got a different camera and didn’t get my preamps adjusted low enough so audio stunk! 😕
Great vehicle. Don’t like up front screen that sticks way up above . I like the old built in screen. Even though it’s smaller and not a touch screen . Looks like it’s stuck up there without a place that fits. Other than that, I’m a Lexus believer.
What’s the range for the remote start
how bad is the blind spot?
It is a very fast car to try speed away when people are trying to hijack you.
Keenan Cooper, lol! I like that
Love this car ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😍
I'll take wind noise over road noise any day of the yr.
I am in love
RX2020 F-sport has Bladescan matrix led lights (4 LEDs and not 3 as you were telling in the beginning). Your car has that as well
The US models currently do not have Bladescan
Can you do a review like this to an bmw x7 please
If I can get ahold of one I definitely will!
Nice video. I am curious what kind of brand and model of tires were on the vehicle?
Thanks Tom! Bridgestone Ecopia H/L 422 Plus. Are those known to be noisy tires, do you know?
Prime Autotainment They are supposed to quiet and low rolling resistance according to Consumer Reports.
Weird...it wasn’t loud but it was noticeable louder than the non f sport RX 350L I had on the same road surfaces last time.
Tom Yan can you tell me is this only a 5 seater right?
Melonie, yes this one is a 5 seater, but there’s a 3rd row option available on the 350L models. It’s really tight in the 3rd row though
cool review ,.,..,,
Love it
Are they F1 or F2 or F3? Thanks
Can this car roll over and a person not get crushed?
Good review. Bummer that you have to put a tag on the front!
TheBanjoFlyBoy thank you! No kidding, it really takes away from it lol
Prime Autotainment I live in Texas and haven’t put a front license plate on my car in awhile. I have the ES350 F Sport and love the front too much to ruin it with a plate lol
Jeremy Dismuke good idea! I see a lot of people without it too and especially in a vehicle like this! Nice ride btw!
I like the refresh I have a 2016 f sport . I like the touch screen as the older model mine is annoying without the touch screen .
I do think that Lexus should offer a more powerful engine option like a twin turbo putting out 450? 500 to compete more directly against Mercedes , bmw , Jaguar etc .
I find this a bit underpowered .
A 10 speed transmission might also help .
Also my 2016 f sport has terrible front brakes . I do a lot of mountain driving and stock brakes are garbage . I will be going to some aftermarket upgrade brakes .
Other than the above comments I really am impressed by my Lexus in terms of quality looks features etc
I will very likely be trading up to a newer model in maybe 4 years or so .
It’s my first Lexus I had Mercedes 2006 ml350 prior . The Mercedes was solid car but not that reliable lost the engine from factory defect at about 130000 miles
Class action lawsuit in US but not in Canada . Service and maintenance expensive on the Mercedes Lexus so far hasn’t needed much . But still only have like 30000 miles on it .
I did have bit of defect a little bump on the steering wheel which Lexus refused to replace/ fix . Also am noticing my heater fan seems to vary in speed not sure if this is normal ?
Will get it checked no warranty left for the heater fan just powertrain warranty left .
Thanks for sharing about your 2016! As for the fan...does it only do that when it’s on auto temperature? If you manually control the fan speed does it still fluctuate?
Does Lexus have a reason it shuts off when you open the door after using remote start
Brian Merrill they call it a “safety feature”. I’ve heard the main reason is from previous lawsuits to multiple manufacturers of people starting them in the garage and sitting in the garage with it running. Dumb people.
Nobody can get in the vehicle without the fob and even if you start it with a child inside or something...they can’t drive it without the key fob either. So who knows. It’s annoying when it’s real cold or real hot and by the time you open the door and get stuff inside it’s cold or hot again already lol.
@@PrimeAutotainment that feature was created primarily to heat up or cool down the cabin before you enter. I live in a tropical area so I normally start it up and allow the air conditioning to run a bit.
@@PrimeAutotainment The thinking behind shutting the engine off, is to protect you from anyone who may lie in waiting when they notice a running vehicle with nobody inside. Should the would be thief wait to knock you out of the way and drive off with your vehicle once you open the door, it allows you time to high tail it out of dodge with the key still on your person. All while the carjacker is sitting in a warm car that is no longer running. You're safe. Car is still there and hopefully you're alerting authorities as to what just happened. The system is designed to take the edge off of the conditions in the vehicle while also priming the climate controls to be used immediately upon you entering the vehicle. You wouldn't have to wait for the car to warm up to get warm or cool air like you would with a cold start.
I love Lexus and i also love your handsome face😘
I had a 2021/2022 lexus rx 350 fsport
its tuned differently than the highlander and has a slightly higher compression.
reason why it needs premium petrol
Thanks! Makes sense
s3-us-east-2.amazonaws.com/lexus-cms-media/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/2020-Lexus-RX-RX-350-Specifications-FINAL.pdf - page 2 under the 3.5 liter it says 91 or higher
J.P.M. 52
You’re wrong. No matter what model it is. They all take premium petrol. If you use anything under 91. You will lose performance.

So for 60k the seats aren’t leather??
Not in this one lol. The RX can have real leather but this was the fake leather
Have you driven the 450h F Sport? Which do you prefer?
Unfortunately I haven’t driven the hybrid yet ☹️
@@PrimeAutotainment I have this exact car and color in the 450h F Sport plus the winter package and all the add ons. And I can promise u that it drives better than the 350 and the 350 F Sport. I test drove all of them before learning the the Hybrid drives the best and together with the amazing mpg (26 mpg highway and 28 street).
Is the 450h all wheel drive ?
Regarding the remote start my Camry XSE has the same thing. However I never use the remote start
Also the 4 way lumbar and thigh cushion are available on the RX. Just not with the f Sport unfortunately. You’d need to get the luxury package to do that
1x(3/6/24)….done…thank You
There's a bug on your side mirror.
Handsome guy!
Do you think it worth to get rx 450h?
Depends on the type of driving you do. It’s not as efficient as I would hope but city driving it does really well
@@PrimeAutotainment What is the cruising range on Rx450h with a full gas tank? I'm owning a Rx 350 2019 now and the MPG on this car is not so good. Is it a huge different between 350 and 450h on MPG and cruising range?
On full tank, I can drive only 310 mile which is far different from the document says ~440 mile. I'm not an immature driver, most of the time, I drive with cruise control at the speed limit, rarely throttle the car unless I have to merge into highway. Still I got only 310mile range :(
Is this better than the Acura RDX? I'm 19.
The RDX is more fun to drive and seems to have better storage and practicality. The RX feels more luxurious and has a softer more comfortable ride. Depends what you want from the vehicle. I’d go with the RX personally
@@PrimeAutotainment Thank you very much! One more question, which RX is a better choice, the 350 model or the 450 hybrid model.
omg! The remote start. That's the same thing Subaru does and I freaking hate that. It's super dumb. Snowing and want to get out your scrapper to clean off the car while it's running? It shuts off. Lexus use to not do that on remote start Super lame.
I am thinking about trading my 2017 BMW X5 for this vehicle. Lexus will have better reliability and I have owned the ES, GS, RX in the past.
😍
Those Bridgestone tires are junks Toyota need to stop using them
I am not one of those who criticize everything just for the sake of criticism, but here I have to say for the size of this vehicle, and considering it's trying to sell itself as an SUV ( although to my eyes it looks more like lifted wagon), the trunk space is very low. 18.4, that's almost Honda Accord level space and that is a main stream midsize sedan almost the same length as this one and far lesser height.
All in all, a good one but definitely not the best option once you start looking at options in the BMW and Mercedes comp, heck even a Hyundai Santa Fe in it's top trim puts on a very good fight.
Its a bit on the sluggish side too. 7.9sec to 60mph while averaging 26mpg is really nothing to write home about. I would feel bad to driving this and some soccer mom in a RAV4 can sprint by me while I'm at full throttle!
Hi nolan
they should throw in a 450+hp v8 into it
The arm rest material last me 4 year, and it start to torn apart..to replace it cost me $300..cheap stuff..
Dang sorry to hear that!
@@PrimeAutotainment Im planning to get RX f 2020 next year.
That’s literally what leathers do... skin to skin contacts wear leather apart naturally.
Lexus missed the mark big time. They make a dying less popular sedan IS 500 V8, instead of a more popular SUV in the RX 350. Imagine an RX 500 with a 5.0 V8, 10 speed transmission, and Brembo Brakes.
Instead we get an RX500h hybrid with a pathetic 4-cyl and battery to make a whopping 360-hp.
If you guys want to impress a chick..... Pull up in a LEXUS.😉
I think Fukushima disaster must have affected the Lexus designer who are making the grill bigger and bigger every year , Why the front end is nothing but a grill that can swallow a great white shark .
We want before to purchase RX but after when we see the Highlander platinum 2021 we decided to buy Highlander because the interior of Highlander much quality & better + the sunroof of Highlander twice better than this red toy)) sorry fan of Lexus but it’s true always compare before you making purchase.
Will you buy me one?
If you buy me one first!
I wouldn't buy a Lexus for sport.
Yeah this is definitely not the one for that! I think they tried to appeal to the people that want sport a little more with some small changes but it still felt like normal cushy Lexus lol
I like Mazda CX9 better.
Mosa
:)
I'd rather get a Jaguar but the Lexus will last me longer
Jaguar quality will make you have a good relationship with your mechanic because of its horrible quality. Lexus you rarely see your mechanic to a point where he could barely remember your name.
I have looked at owning a Lexus until they went with their new grille; I just cannot like it. I went with Genesis instead.
Yeah it’s really polarizing lol. Especially these f sport models..massive. Genesis is sweet , how do you like it?
@@PrimeAutotainment I had a three year lease and, regrettably, turned it in. The buyout was more than you could buy one used. At least I knew the care mine had. Never a problem and I got better mileage than the ratings, usually about 28 hwy with the 3.8 and AWD. Hindsight is always 20/20!
It's either love it or hate it for the grille, personally I love it 😍
If Genesis comes out with their twin turbo V6 it will boast similar performance numbers as Audi’s specs for their Q5, Q8 and Q7.... I would buy the Genesis GV80 over a Lexus. They’ve done their homework. Too bad it is just a luxury Hyundai. Hard to ignore that when your buddies at work all drive Beamers, Audi’s or Mercedes’
This comment is so tired. Then you haven't seen the new Genesis grilles then, because they make this look tiny. www.genesis.com/us/en/2019/genesis-g90.html
Christ, that's a face-lift, it looks like they used Katie Price's surgeon. All Lexus's are a mess with that awful grille but this is a styling disaster.
I was laughing when he said "everything feels premiums" while touching outdated central console. Look at new audi or bmw look at their dashboards and multimedia that is the premium, RX350 really need redesign as soon as possible.
Not the design but the materials lol
Prime Autotainment central console is big piece of plastic with plastic buttons. Does it feel premium?
Костя Савостин the buttons don’t feel cheap, there’s no wiggle and everywhere you put your elbow is soft...it’s not a damn rolls Royce lol. Yeah the design is old but it’s functional
@@PrimeAutotainment We have a 2017 RX 350 F Sport and nothing in it feels or looks cheap to me. We love it. Our first RX350 was a 2010. I'm looking at the 2020 RX450 hybrid. I like the hybrid drive.
Hey, that CD player is premium!!!
Lol a facelift and refresh are the same thing in car world , lol
A facelift doesn’t take into account any interior changes imo.
I only like the Lexus car the suvs look like grandma vams
lot of cheap looking plastics on the interior
Being conservative and basically slow Lexus lost all advantages he had for years and loosing luxury race pretty fast , outdated interior, weird shape and unattractive design in general. Always wanted to buy a Lexus, when finances finally aligned after doing test drive, realized I don't want strange looking outdated car. Too bad. Probable will get Genesis GV80 next future months.
What an ugly suv
Not worth the money
Go it an x5
Pointless review. Lexus has left this suv virtually untouched since 2016. New infotainment touch-up and a few other cosmetic things along with upgraded sway bars.... big deal. Give us a twin turbo V6. Oh yeah... and get rid of that goofy floating rear pillar. Design would be better based off the NX 300
Pointless comment. 2016 was only 4 years ago. You obviously can't completely redesign cars every 4 years, it would be cost prohibitive. They refreshed it instead, which is exactly what they're supposed to do.
@@mrsj1417 point of the comment was to point out that since 2016 there have been hundreds of reviews on this car and there have been virtually no changes made. Want to focus on the refresh... then focus solely on the refreshed items. The biggest and best item that was refreshed was the infotainment system and even then, the hardware was refreshed but the OS was not.... so no big deal. I've ridden in one.... the ride is nothing to write home about.
@@beri232 I agree with you. The review of a facelift should be mainly what changed. What's new! Not necessarily discussing everything as if everything was new.
For me what changed here are Improved infortainment system, grill (though I prefer the 2019 straight grill), the foot-activated tailgate, better looking LED headlamps vs clunky previous. They straightened all the clunkiness. The clunky fog-lights of 2019.
I love the floating rear pillar. My love for the car started from the back then progressed to the front.
I hate the dash and the stupid analag clock that is out of place. The infortainment screen looks like it's drowning in the dash.
This review was very informative. Those who are wishing to invest in one for their first time will find this video very helpful. Thoroughly done ✅
Everest Ezebuilo haha... my wife hates that analog clock in the dash. She says it makes the suv look like a grandpa wagon. One more thing.... next time you look at an RX350, take a look at the glass in the doors. They have double laminate for road noise up front but they cheap out on the rear glass. One big difference I noticed with other luxury brands.
