FAST 5 | 2018 Lexus RX350 - More Luxurious than a Mercedes

The Lexus RX350 is one of the best selling SUVs in America. Consumer Reports also rates Lexus as the most reliable brand for 7 years running. Maybe that has something to do with the fact the RX has one of the most solid resale values of any car on the market. It's exceedingly luxurious and comfortable, but it's the most enjoyable at a standstill. The RX, while incredibly luxurious, is not the slightest bit sporty. But that;s not the goal of the RX. If you want a smooth and comfortable ride while being engulfed in the softest leather on the market then you need to give the Lexus RX a look. It's also a good value while being several thousand dollars less than its German competitors.
A HUGE thank you goes out to my friends at Lexus of Milwaukee, WI for providing the car for this video!!!

Just got this vehicle. Was considering Range Rover Evoque but since I plan to run it to the ground I realized that the RX350 not only uses regular gas but the maintenance costs are way lower than the German wheels. I happen to have my mechanic who specializes in Japanese vehicles and his fees are very reasonable. I’m glad I decided on my Lexus. Drives like a dream and my kids don’t want to leave the car! Lol

[@mickiesalazar4394]

One of the best reviews I’ve seen, love how we saw the outside of the car as you drove.

[@IntrepidJose]

Just picked up a used one in Maryland this week. What a fantastic vehicle.

[@beauteefulhill3830]

I love this suv. I’m buying this for my birthday in April 😀

[@jd5179]

Had the this SUV since 2018- no issues ! Kinda refreshing since came from owning GM brands -

[@horologyarchive7814]

Yo dawg, nice video I love the quality of your reviews, keep grinding i'd like to see some supercars or even hypercars coming to Downshift

[@dwnshft]

Gorilla Silverback thanks man I really appreciate the support! I'm out here working for you my friend! I'm hoping to have some more face melting stuff in the next couple weeks!

[@overlandjourno]

You don’t have to wave. It’s a proximity sensor. With groceries in both hands just place your elbow over the Lexus emblem. See the “how to argue”

[@twanderson123]

Excellent review! I own the 2017 and my parents have the 2016. Excellent review. Mine has 119,000 miles and theirs is slightly over 140,000 miles. Great vehicles. You were very clear about packages and features. Mine has power rear folding seats, rear heated seats, hud. Theirs has everything else including panoramic etc. They hold up well. Leather looks great long term. Mine has semi analine. Theirs has leather. I can't speak on the Nu Luxe. Thanks.

You can remote start from your key press the unlock button, then the lock button twice and hold it.

I love the mouse. It doesn't bother me at all.

[@1papy]

I hate that your experience with S class MB's was cut off with audio. Otherswise great video! Thanks

[@dwnshft]

thanks for watching!

[@Akashpagol]

6:09 The gesture control need not be a wave. You can just put your palm or even elbow (if hands are full) in front of the emblem for a couple seconds and it should open the trunk. Great review though!

😁 aww shucks

[@jasonrothfeld]

Had my last RX for 17 years. Hoping I get another 17 years with my new RX.

[@dwnshft]

I'll bet you will

[@giginapjac]

I'm looking at a certified 2018 RX 350 to replace my almost 17 yrs old ES 330. I hate to give her up but I'm thinking I might for this car. Also, looking at an ES300h Ultra luxury which is very nice too.

[@davem4143]

I can't wait for this "big-mouth" grill & jagged cuts trend to end (and floating roofs...) however these are good cars, the most reliable luxury vehicles without question. Very good review, enjoyed! Classy as usual.

You Failed to mention the second best mid size luxury SUV sold ! The Cadillac XT5!

[@brentshannon5048]

I pick my CPO Luxury pkg on Tuesday/Wednesday. Been lookin for some time. My guy called and said we have this fresh off lease. 27,800mi for 34,999. I think its a steal. Immaculate Nebula grey w stratus grey. It’s still on Lexus of Westport ct site. I’m gushing. I’m a huge audiophile. Can’t wait to crank it 🤘🏻

[@dwnshft]

Nice!

[@Akashpagol]

Nice. I picked up a 2018 RX 2350 last Tuesday. My exterior and interior colors are exactly the same as yours. Hope you have fun with it!

[@zzzz-ok7733]

I will take a Lexus all day over BMW/Mercedes.

[@richwalker241]

You get about 20mpg hwy? I was under the impression they could get at least 27mpg going 55-65mph.

[@lindaputnam9698]

We get 24 mpg and average 70-75mph.

its w track
base is width

[@dnavas7719]

What are the differences between this one and the NX300?

[@dwnshft]

The next is a smaller SUV. Think Honda pilot vs Honda CR-V
