Could not agree more. The Hybrid is even more isolated. My family took a 16 hour road trip and it was not tiring at all. By far, the RX is one of the best long distance cruisers.
I bought this from Lexus of Royal Oak few months ago, I love it driving to work between Banff and Canmore. I hated the seats on F Sport 3 model. I didn't feel comfortable on F sport seat structure. I love the seats on the Canadian Execu model.
Wireless phone charging was in the 2016 in models sold in the US, but for some reason Lexus decided to remove that feature for 2017 thru present. I wish they'd bring it back.
I am pretty sure the touch-less open system is designed for people that have there hands full with stuff all you have to do is wave the back of your hand over the badge and it will open without you having to put something down on the ground first to use the button. I have a ES 350 with a powered rear boot and i have to put my bags down to open it, If i had the touch-less system i would not have to do what i do just to open my boot.
They must have different trim packages in Canada. In the US, it's either the Premium Package or Luxury Package. I have a 2017 with the latter. I wonder if "Executive" is another term for "Luxury"?
Yeah, it's confusing for us Canadians. We have a Luxury package and an Executive package, Executive being the top trim. So I see videos for a "Luxury" RX and skip it thinking it's the lower trim level when it's really the top trim in the US.
If you have driven the current generations Honda CR-V or Acura RDX with a sunroof, how does each compare with the Lexus mid-size SUV, when it comes to driver headroom?
Sadly I haven’t driven either car, so I can’t give my honest opinion. I am 6’4” but I rarely come across a car (excluding sports cars) that has poor headroom for me
At 1:48 you mention the Executive trim package has the wireless phone charging... I'm ordering the new 2018 RX350 and the dealer can not confirm the wireless phone charging to be a feature. Can you support your claim?
I’m doubtful that the 2018 executive trim would remove the wireless phone charging capabilities. I know Honda dealers can install a wireless charging base within their shop. Have you looked through the 2018 configurator?
+hddive55, USA version has no wireless phone charging. The only Canadian version has it. The US version get the remote starter and bunch of online controls for your car via an app, which Canadians don't get. US version also has live FM -HD traffic updates on nevigation models, while Canadians don't.
Normally looks are a matter of opinion, but not this time. The front end on the new Lexus is so objectively ugly my wife uses it to illustrate aesthetic depravity to her art students.
I have a LX 470 with 200,000 mi in 15 years. Looking to buy a new car, love the Lexus brand but they came out with this UGLY grill, No way can I buy anything from Lexus now. 😤

I absolutely hate SUV's but this vehicle is absolutely flawless. A fantastic drive..I prefer it over my spots car.

Great review! Considering this is a mid-size SUV, i'm surprised by the lack of headroom. What is your height?
I’m 6’4”
I love my 2012 RAV 4 but when you star making little bit more you wanna upgrade your lifestyle and everything . RX 350 my next choice 🧐

Looks beautiful in person
Great thorough review. Where did you film this? The mountains are fantastic.
All done in the Bow Valley (Canmore and Banff) Alberta, Canada

beautiful I love driving mine.but why with that price Lexus cant even put wifi charger
R.Q. what's a wifi charger? Like wireless charging? It has that in the Executive Trip ot F Sport 3 trim. Lower trims dont
I have the same suv but I'm short and ur tall makes suv looks like sedan 😂😂
Truth
hey man can you park the car while doing review! Your talking abiut the detail of the car not looking ahead of you, making me nervous.
Gotta ask, you seem to barely fit in the back of any of these cars--how tall are you?
6’4”
Have toyota run out of body ideas?
You did a nice review but that is one ugly grill. Lexus car design seems to have lost its way.
Normally looks are a matter of opinion, but not this time. The front end on the new Lexus is so objectively ugly my wife uses it to illustrate aesthetic depravity to her art students.
That’s just her Eurocentrism
They certinally did not get the body right
damn those lexus are soooo ugly in front

Not for all people I like it
Butt-ugly car.
