I have a 2010 RX hybrid. You can literally drive and drive hundreds of miles on this thing and still being fresh. Very enjoyable and relaxing in city drive as well. One of the best family cars, it really ticks all the boxes.
It actually switches from Atkinson to Otto cycle depending on throttle and load. With the planetary electronically controlled cvt, it makes for an efficient, ultra smooth and reliable motor. Possibly the most under rated and best suv on the market.
@@KirkKreifels the only thing that keeps me from getting the GX is fuel economy. Premium fuel and the 15mpg just sounds so hideous. But the car itself an an absolute masterpiece. The use of the third row and 'trunk' space is questionable.
is it possible to update the infotainment system from this 2016-2019 model into the 2020 model ? I mean not changing into a touchscreen but having all these new features of the NAV system 11.0 ? would be a huge step up for these older models !!!
My 2016 RX infotainment system is the most frustrating thing about the car. The voice command did not have any machine learning so miscommunication is comical
@@cottagegymfun hm..im pretty happy with my ols mouse in the 2010. ..but i was disappointed from the touchpad and small icons on display in the new UX !
Hey Kirk! When a client is looking to buy now April 2024 but lookig at models going back to 2016, would your opinion be different? Such as, maybe avoid getting the hybrid used because at some point they will have to be replaced or they begin to die or there are more things that can go wrong.
Should I lease a 2022 RX 450h for $499 with $3999 down and possibly buy it at the end of lease if we like it or should I buy a 2018 RX 450h for $38999 with 51k miles LOADED with panoramic sunroof etc, etc..???
depends how much driving you do. if you drive it alot then I would finance. also if you plan on buying it at the end of lease you might as well finance otherwise your paying alot more in the end if your buying it after the lease. if you like to change vehicles every 2-4 years then i would lease or if you can write it off as a business expense like if your a real estate agent then leasing is the way to go.
@@KirkKreifels thank yo for your reply. I have to kids and I have a double stroller. Both use car seats. Which rx version would you recommend? I am 5"11 in ht

Best RX450H review I have seen so far and I have seen many!
Thanks brother! I hope to review the 2020 RX450h soon :)
The interior colour isnt a fault with the car but the person who ordered it, Red looks good with the Silver if you're brave enough!
Really useful details! What do you think of the refreshed 2020 model?
Great video, I just bought a 2016 RX450h Premier (UK version) and wanted to see what's what as there is so much on this car, thanks for this.
Thanks for watching! Let me know if you have any questions.

Seems that it is time to buy an RX. Thanks for the video!
This is fantastic! Loved your GX review as well. Between this and the GX, if you had a choice, which would you pick?
Probably the GX!

Great review, love the details like the hidden rear wiper

Impossible unfortunately

@@kubanskiloewe the 2020 touch screen is solid. Something for down the road. I do like voice, but improvements are needed
Great car I like the brand
You have turned off front camera on slow speed drive, how to turn it on again ?
Thanks a lot.

"vortex simulator" when you you want to pretend to generate vortices
Difficult to watch the video with the car screens flickering..I understand you mentioned it. Good review though
Good review bro
Was driven by?
Look up rx 350 exhaust. Good god they sound amazing with exhaust
I have this car and plan to put 300k miles on it. But can't deny the fact that sometimes it is a rather boring driver's car lol I will keep it

Does the hL version have more space in the trunk of you lower the 3rd row seats?
Yes

360 top view doesn’t show your car has Panasonic sunroof- Lexus can solve this for the future and also color match
You can choose the color for the camera, but not the roof
Vortex simulator or generator?. If you’re going to sell the cars you should get the terminology correct
