Wow excellent video!!
The regular RX-350 is easily the best of the bunch. Perhaps next (2) year, when RX-350 will be on the TNGL platform, it'll be a better Hybrid, but not a better car. Only flaw with this model, is that everyone wants to steal it.
I think this was a very necessary video for lexus shoppers. The models are very close and confusing at times
3 suvs, one bigger than the other. Not sure how that is complex. Price follows size.
@@buxus3770 the naming convention doesnt follow the size does it? RX is bigger than UX.
@@buxus3770 You only buy based on price and not features?
Agreed
As I’m currently deciding between the NX & RX
We have a 2017 RX450h and I love it. Nothing but regular maintenance and trouble-free driving. The most important part of luxury to me is peace of mind.
Have you had in since new? Anything you don’t like about it?
@@vinnyvinny7542 We did purchase it new. There were a few things we had to bring it back for (TSB and software updates). There are few things I don’t like: The hatch is electrically operated and takes a while to go up/down, the middle seat in the back is pretty small, some wind buffeting when one window is down. Other than that, I really love this vehicle.

@@reneenip9754 Thanks?
Is it true that it requires premium gasoline?
Correction! The rear windshield wiper is not designed for aerodynamics, it is designed so that it never has ice and snow built up on it and it doesnt have to lift the snow off. It uses gravity to push the snow down and off. Much better design.
This feature is one of the reason I absolutely love the rx. Other luxury models keep missing the mark on such a simple feature. It makes the back of the car look so clean!!! I won’t consider the UX or nx solely because of this 🤷🏼♀️
Andre and Nathan are such a great team! They work so well together and their styles of humor jive in a magical way. Keep up the good work, guys! 👍🏽👍🏽
"...I'll remove this shade, let's not throw shade okay..."
I felt that.
RX me please! Was in an accident which caused my beautiful 2012 RX 350 to be totalled. Lexus value holds really well. Will be upgrading to a 2015 Lexus RX tomorrow! Yay!
I got a 2015 Lexus RX 450h, so far no complaints ...great on gas and very smooth !!! Go for it you will love it !!!
We've literally been test driving the NX and UX these past two weeks and couldn't decide. Your video helped a ton. thank you.
How was the mpg and how many kms were u able to do on one tank ?
I’m thinking of trading my is300 f sport for an nx200t
What’d u go with??😅
Nathan and Andrey, the ultimate combo for the best videos. You guys crack me up. keep up the good work
Ya

Can't believe I'm just seeing this video! I follow so many of the TFL channels and haven't seen this one even though I have been wanting to see it. One of my favorites so far!
What you're paying for typically last 15 -20 years, if you keep your cars.
FACTS. I'm currently driving an '02 GS 300.
True. Lexus lasts. I had a Lexus GX 470 from
2004 until I sold it in 2018. Nothing EVER went wrong with it in 110,000 miles. (I know that’s low mileage.) I have an NX now, but I actually miss the GX anyway.
My 2005 RX330 is still going strong and I'm loving every bit of it.
Facts...I have the 1999 RX300...295,000 miles and no problems. I plan to get a new one at the end of year.

The Nathan and Andre combo is undefeated! So funny! Haha.
Your videos lately, have been terrific.
I just got a rx 350 f sport. It's pretty roomy in the front and back. Pick up speed is great . It's modern and stylish inside and out. Sound system is the best I've had . I'm kinda tall so this one was a perfect fit for me . Drive is super smooth. I can't even feel when it shifts . Thanks for the video. I didn't know the difference between models till now .
I’m looking for a compact SUV that won’t break the bank but still give me luxury and reliability
UX is your car then. Truth is they're all very good. Just depends what you need.
I was surprised how little headroom Andre had in the back seat of the RX. The previous generation RX seemed pretty tall. Did Lexus lower the roof line for the current generation RX?
This was the most exciting review I've ever seen yall are entertaining for sure..I was engaged the whole time!
I had nx now am driving RX, just the best. Lexus refreshes every 7 year, new NX coming soon.
New RX coming 4th quarter 2022 as a 2023.
I have a 2007 RX400h for a winter car. 205k miles. Dead reliable. Only normal factory-recommended maintenance since new. Runs so well it most likely will go 400k miles.
Love Toyota/Lexus, they are doing the best they can with the crossover fad. Which leads to them having the best options.
GREAT VIDEO I LOVE THE NX 2022 300H CAN’T WAIT!
Base model RX-350, that's gas only, is by far the best (best bang for the buck). Get it now, before electrification screws-up it up...the sum of its parts and world class assembly-line makes it punch above its weight class. 8speed with small first gear can take a twin-turbo v6 when getting the jump off the lights. Well dampen suspension makes it a tool that someone like Paul will appreciate (now that he know how to hustle a front drive biased car around the race track).
You guys make a really good team. :)
Thank y’all sooo much for this video!!
Thank you guys!
Me husband got me a 2017 RX350 for Christmas and I love it! It’s a head turner too and I get lots of compliments on it. To me it’s the perfect size for an suv the NX is too small…may as well get a car
Thank you gentlemen for your wonderful review.
Thanks guys loved your take on this! I’m going to test drive an NX 😀
I love the UX
Good comparisons guys!!
Great video, I needed this so much
Great review. I’m still leaning towards an RX
great video guys. just my suggestion to include some part of vehicle reliability comparison and little bit of history. this would definitely help buyers to choose peacefully.
The rx gate opens by putting your hand or elbow in front of the lexus logo but dont do it in direct sunlight. The RX hybrid requires premium fuel 👀 where the non hybrid uses regular fuel.
The NX non hybrid takes premium but its hybrid version does not.
Great video, good sense of humor!
We got a used 2016 NX F sport for my wife a couple years ago. Great looking car and the interior is beautiful with the red leather and stiching. Infotainment is definitely outdated though even for 2016 standards. If you have a family it's fine as a secondary vehicle but wouldn't recommend as primary. We have one infant in a rear facing car seat and the front passenger seat has to be put all the way forward. Wife then sits behind me. Everyone's comfortable but not an ideal set up if you have more kids.
Lexus tends to delay implementation of the latest tech until all the kinks are worked out. I’d prefer a reliable Lexus over a car with the very latest tech.
_What about the UX, NX, RX compared to GX-460 considering you have elderly passengers 3 times a week? (Senior parents getting in and out of the vehicle) Which one would be more comfortable ,spacious, reliable with cargo space, handles pothholes, dips and road bumps, smooth ride over rough streets, and survive driving through some stagnant water during flood seasons in Texas?_
Great video. Please do more like this.
What a fantastic, practical review. Thanks!!!!!
Bought a Tahara ,Japan made 2018 RX350 2 weeks ago, 49k miles. Took it on a 1200 mile round trip over Memorial day weekend. 25.7 mpg, on regular gas. Smooth , powerful , comfortable. This will stable well next to my Tacoma! (Wish this vid came to me earlier, excellent content, guys. You rock!).
I love your videos. Well done guys.
This was very helpful. Thanks!
Video: Lexus
Comments: Toyota Venza
Yep. Us car people know it’s the premium compact hybrid SUV for just a couple grand more than a RAV4.
@@slscamg paid the same as the rav4 for the 21 venza xle hybrid. I’m quite surprised at it so far. 42 mpg average over 300 miles in two days so far.
@@remsterx cool
Thank you so very much for the video. It is really helpful. I am currently looking into one of them and now I have a good idea. ❤
I like the way you test the cargo space.
Great job guys on this comparison. You guys made me laugh and I really enjoyed watching it. Your awesome bro's 👍🏼.
I pre-ordered the the new 2022 NX 350 AWD with 2.4L turbo petrol, 275bhp and 8 speed automatic. Did I do the right thing by choosing that over the hybrid?
Loved the trunk test!
I overall, love the video and since it was just put out, I was a bit surprised that you didn’t mention that the NX is about to be replaced with the new version. You don’t have to go into detail about it, just a cursory mention so potential buyers are aware. Especially since it has gone to a new touchscreen system for the infotainment.
The new NX for 2022 looks nothing like the previous model. I agree that I would have thought they would mention a new version for 22 is on the way. Personally, I prefer this version of the NX exterior but glad to see Lexus did finally get a new and improved information system. Like the new interior also on the new NX.
UX hybrid is 1/2 second faster to 60.
NX has a redesign coming in the Fall. Quad headlights.
RX has a redesign next year. I might wait.
Funny video and great comparison guys!
Perfect video comparison thx!
Wow Excellent Video ,Thanks
I love my 2015 RX 450- it is all that and then some!
Nice. Tq for the video. Very helpful 😁
I def needed to see this. I’ve just been seeing these out on the road & know I’m interested in that smaller cross over sleek Lexus I keep seeing but now I see there’s a bigger difference & I’ve probably even been seeing different cars 😂
The hands free boot opener in the RX requires you to hold your elbow or palm close to the Lexus logo on the tailgate
That’s the older system. On my ‘21 it is kick operated, but it is very finicky. The dealer actually refunded my $150.
I think it depends on how much $ your sister has! I own a 2016 NX 200T, just an excellent vehicle, goes like hell, of course I live in Ca, no snow to worry about, I paid $41.5 K out the door. If i go someplace and need more room I take my 2012 Sienna XLE. No worries, just love the NX though,
made in Japan, can't find anything at all wrong with it, 1 thing though, it only gets about 29 M.P.G tops, but at only $4.69 a gallon now it's o.k. with me, the book says to use 91 octane as it has the 2 stage turbo. I am super happy with it. I found that 89 octane gas works fine in it, you might lose 5 H.P with it, but that's OK with me. It doesn't ping.
Hi Guys; On April 1st, I purchased a UX250h here in Reno, NV, I traded my 2006 RX400h, which I bought new in 2005, I loved it but I decided to buy this new, it is not always easy to get into, but I have learned how easily.. One thing I don't think you mentioned is the fact it does not have a spare tire, but the are instructions on how to drive 100 miles on a flat tire, which could happen here in Nevada, as there is a lot of open spaces, like going from Reno to Las Vegas. Anywhy so fare I am getting basically I am getting 45MPG, but mostly in town. Where I live very hilly, plenty of power, and the gas tank only hold 10.8 gallons which is fine with me. I am happy with this vehicle. Thanks for the video.
RJN.
I'm looking at the UX and NX. We already own a RAV4 and don't need another big car and being short I like to be able to see over the hood. Good to know you're liking your new UX250h and the ride is smooth. Agree about the spare tire, though.
The UX is super fun to drive. Test drove one last month, and really wanted to get it, but not enough cargo space.
My Full time Job is Skip the Dishes, Uber and Door Dash my UX 250 H enough for my every day delivery so Much Fun to drive a lot of Power and I’m very happy for it , this days HYBRID is the Best not EV
Concur. UX250 H, As fun as BMW x3, I owned the both
I agree. I just picked up a 2023 UX 250H and I am impressed. Not very powerful, but quick enough and fun to drive. The MPG’s and price point just made sense considering what I will be using the vehicle for.
@@jayjaylucky3278
How is the back seat room for your Uber passengers? I'm considering getting one. Thanks.
Bruh I nearly lost it when Nathan was like "yeah for Roman with the osteo" hahahaha
Nathan always with the best Roasts
Good video but lexus announce a new NX this week , I hope you guys make a video of the new one
If they made a longer RX for better 2nd row leg room… that’d be great..
I have a UX hybrid and can't wait to see the RZ (the size I think that will suit me).
Great video. I've been looking at all 3. I see you were reviewing hybrids, but please note the NX takes PREMIUM gas only! Huge drawback if not purchasing a hybrid. Heading out to get the RX today! Wish me luck!
I love my RX!
My wife has a RX for 7 yrs. Beside oil change and new tires, there was nothing, I meant nothing breaks with this RX.
How did it go? Are you enjoying your RX?
Thank you for this Judi! That makes a huge difference
Good info!
Great job guys. Lol 😆 its was funny and informative 😄
I love your sense of humour.🤣 Nice work guys!
I've driven the new ES,RX,UX and NX as loaners and the best ride was the ES. In terms of SUV's I'd have to say that I like them in order of size.
Very helpful because I was on the fence between the es and nx.
Omg that’s video was very funny 😂😂😂 great review I love it
Great review, people say lexus is a glorified toyota. Some of that is true, but more sound deadening, better warranty. Interesting thing, Lexus on used Certified Pre Owned, they'll back it 6 years Unlimited miles. That's the best any manufacturer will back their products. Speaks volumes as to what they believe their products will do in the future.
The biggest difference between lexus and other luxury brands is that lexus offers lasting reliability
@@Pincode05 That's because it is Toyota
These Guys are awesomw in demostratong these suvs 🙂
i love RX350 design and interior 😍 , no competition
You can use voice control so you dont need to use the touch pad.
The gear lever has S +/- settings for a 6 speed virtual gear box.
Best video! You got me at Baby Bear hahaha.
I’ll be getting the Papa Bear now. Thank you!!!
i wish they would update the infotainment in the pre refresh rx but it’s such a good car on road trips
Best video on the Lexus as all three models are clearly compared. 😊
none of the Lexi has total volume cargo space when put down 2nd row seat than 2013 Honda FIT (2nd generation). I was able to fit a 50 Gallons water boiler from Home Depot and closed the hatch door with driver and passenger on board. Also can fit 5 bicycles or 60" TV is a piece of cake.
hilarious that when he said the NX is easy to get into at 2:30, he looked like bumps his head on the way into the car LOL! Great video still! Just noticed that little blooper, but i could be wrong.
Excellent video you sold me.
for the rx, if you hover your hand over the rear Lexus badge, the tailgate will open
This is great comparison, big help! That will be even better if you can show us how many golf bag can get into each car trunk~
I have driven both! Love the RX for long trips. I bought a New NX, I love it!
I have a 17 ES350 and my wife’s 08 RX will be a hand me down for my son. Have a NX Hybrid on order and looking forward to 38MPG. On long trips we use the ES, quieter and rides smoother.
go for the non-turbo engine. you can't put as much miles on a turbo engine. At 120k the turbo's will need to be rebuilt. You can drive an RX 350 for 300k miles
False! Toyota/Lexus has been building turbo engines for a decade
No more cubic space measurement, now it’s how many Andres
I'm not looking for hybrids. Great video.
I’ve had the privilege of owning a 2021 Lexus NX 300 Premium. The quality ride is great and love the handling. I bought the vehicle not for its technology, but more so for its reliability. After owning a 2016 Hyundai Sonata Sport that’s plagued with its engine issues, I decided I needed a reliable car that I can take out of town and not fear it leaving me stranded like the Sonata. I’ve read some of the comments posted on here where people speak so negatively about these automobiles, but I doubt they’ve ever owned a Lexus SUV. These vehicles are made more for consumers who appreciate reliability and not so much up to date technology.
The reason I didn’t wait for the new 2022 NX is that the new model will be built in Canada and not Japan. So I’ll have to wait a few years to see how the new model holds up to the quality and reliability Lexus is known for. 🙂
You are right not to wait for the new model that made in Canada, Canadian made quality is not as good as Japanese made
@@becoolenough Thank you! That’s what I’ve always known, not only from family members that have owned the Canadian built Lexus RX 350 and consumer reviews online. Apparently the Canadian built Lexus has many issues and doesn’t hold up as well as the Japanese built Lexus models.
@@r.m.s.605 I have owned the 2015 RX450h and 2017 RX450h f sport and now the 2021 RX450h f sport, they are all made in Canada and they all have some minor issues more or less, Now the 2021 one I found that the voice control not functioning right after coming out of the dealer, don't want to go back to dealer during the pandemic, I had to google it and figure out the way to fix it， smh
@@becoolenough Wow!!! That’s not good. In my NX everything works perfect! I can’t complain, it’s a heavy well built automobile. I understand you wouldn’t want to visit the dealership during Covid, but all dealerships are being very careful and disinfecting customer cars before returning them. That way you get your RX fixed as soon as possible, since it’s brand new.
By the way what’s the worst issue you’ve had with your Canadian built Lexus’s models?
@@r.m.s.605 The worst issue was the 2017 RX450h F Sport engine shaking while accelerating, I went to dealer three times to have the issue fixed, it was very frustrating experience since that dealer didn't do their job right, first time they took half a day got issue "fixed", the second day I found that still the same so I take it back to dealer again, this time they took 2 days to get it "fixed" and I have to bargain with them to get a loner car, they told me the issue was one of the injection nozzle not working right so they replaced it, this time I got the car back from them and immediately found that the problem was still there, again they took another 2 days to find out that the issue was they forgot to program the ECU or whatever after they replace the injection nozzle..., you know, it just feels like "Made in Canada" and shoddy dealership are working together in destroying the reputation of Lexus
You guys are hysterical I love you
which one has refrigerator? that is the most important option
love to have the RX. Have a 2015 Venza now and when Toyota brought the Venza back they should have made it like the RX and I would have bought it. not the same size as the rav4
Those are some sad door storages. How did they forget about the door pockets in the 2nd gen IS350. They flip out and have a specific spot that fits a 20 oz soda
Nathan cracks me up! And you got to love Andre for putting up with Nathan! You guys are the best!
2nd comment, I love all lexus so this video was fun to watch!
400H FTW! Just IMO....good gas mileage for a luxury truck, and great power when you charge the battery 🔋🔋🔋 all the way up with the (B) gear ⚙️ on the shifter.
Mines at 200k running strong....and I had to drive it through a flood 🌊💦🌊 4ft deep water. Bulletproof truck thru and thru. Amazing daily driver that's fun to drive with AWD for snow michigan roads.
This way I get to drive my classic cars in the summer 😊😁😊
Sending you my full support from spain
voice commands for what you need on the screen. Show forecast. Show traffic. Directions to Commander's Palace New Orleans Louisiana. I'm cold.
Changing the rear camera lines. x marks the spot for trailering, single red line or yellow ladder tied to steering angle. Front camera at low speeds.
GF waiting for RX redesign supposedly in 2023.
The worst part about this nice video was the commercial for Cadillac Ugh. I’m the battle damaged product of Cadillac. But Lexus did revive me. How nice just to go to the dealer for an oil change.
We've missed you baldy
Hi to anyone reading! I'm shopping for a used Lexus, what model year are they testing here?
