Should You Buy A 2023 / 2024 Lexus RX 500h F-Sport Performance?: OWNER'S PERSPECTIVE

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 31 ธ.ค. 2023
- (Watch in 4K) I'll show you the NEW LEXUS 500h I bought in this video.
I've had many Lexus vehicles over the years, and this is one of the most fun to own!... This may help you decide for yourself if you are considering getting one. The Lexus #RX500hFSport takes the top speed in the lineup, combining a turbocharged 2.4L engine with 2-electric motors, including a powerful eAxle at the rear, and REAR STEERING! The result is the quickest and sportiest version ever and it should appeal to driving enthusiasts!

as a LEXUS RX500h owner! this car is a MASTERPIECE TO DRIVE! The BRAKES are so easy to modulate! it reminds me of how smooth TESLA Regen braking is! the one pedal driving is nice! now I hope the next gen RX will be full EV! and they update the next gen RZ to compete better
I agree it is quite incredible and they did a remarkable job making it all feel like one smooth machine with no extremely odd behavior...
We were very close to getting the RZ that had the smoke-out-touch sky roof, and all the other features but the range was real-world under 200 miles, and if you put 3,4, or 5 of us in the car, and dropped substantially quicker.
I hope they basically marry the RX in the RZ together and create a more powerful battery/longer lasting, that would be pretty perfect.
Thanks for watching. I know you love your RX! 🔥
This was probably one of the best car reviews I've ever watched. Thank you for being so thorough, you've gained a new subscriber!!
SO KIND for you to say, and I really appreciate you sharing that!
Such a blessing 🙏🏼
Glad to connect on TH-cam!... and thanks for the sub! 🔥
Can't wait to be blinded at night with the tripple beam
They are pretty bright for sure... thank goodness the lights are smart enough to auto-correct to keep them from glaring.
Thanks for watching 👍
Great review. Thank you for not regurgitating the same talking points as all other reviews
Appreciate that! 😎
As an owner it makes you see different stuff and you have a vested interest because you paid for it.
THANKS for watching! 👍
Great video. I test drove the RX350H yesterday but after reviewing you video, RX500H F Sport is on top of my list when the time comes. Thank you,
You're so welcome! Totally go and drive one! You'll be surprised, it is definitely more EXACT than other RX models 👊💥😎
Not as cushy as the luxury, but awesome for sure!
Thanks for watching 👍
Great video. I have the same car and also love it. I will put my list together later of some of the other things you missed 😂
Appreciate you watching... glad you liked it 🙏🏼
That would be great to hear what your list is. You've got to make that video! 🚀
Great video just test drove one today,
lol and bought one caviar color 500 h other rims
Excellent review.
Really appreciate that! 🙏🏼
Thanks for watching👍
I have a 2020 ES350 F sport with Mark Kevison audio and I love. My next it will be the RX 500h.Great video!
Super excited for you to get one!
It’s a joy to drive daily. It adds an element to the RX that’s just been missing but I have to say that ES 350 that you have is pretty fantastic too! A VERY COMFORTABLE car!
Thanks for watching 👍🏼
I had last gen RX.. This RX500h is amazing, I love it. Very smooth and great to drive. Your going 80 mph feels like 55... And its quick.
Totally agree with the RX500h! @@twfinc6855
Very nice Review Brother. Kool 👍🏼🖖🏼🙏🏼🔯
Thanks for the kind words!
It's a great vehicle 🚗 🚀
Thanks for watching 👍
Ive got the 2023 RX500h f Sport ... and after 10 months of ownership, I have very few issues.. only thing I dont like, the mark levinson speakers are very bright.. had to turn the treble and mid to zero and it stil makes my ears ring even at lower volumes... One other thing, the bottom rocker panel normally part of the car is now part of the door, so when it gets dirty even a high pressure car wash doesnt clean it.... I like everything else, very nice to drive, smooth, quiet, refined, quality soft touch materials... Its great. Good fuel mileage, and lots of pep when you give it..... I have iridium silver with red interior.... I came out of a 2021 E53 amg, and I had no issues with my trade - its easily as nice overall, except the Merc maybe had some more options.. Options I never used anyway..
LOVE the silver and red, GREAT combo!
I better get out the road degreaser, you're right! 😵💫
Yeah, we have had to tweak the sound system setting too...
Familiar with the E and it's wild how different those two vehicles feel.... There is something very appealing about the effortlessness of the RX and the ease of parking 😁
Do you think you'll stick with the RX or go back to Mercedes?
We have had a bunch of each brand and they are both excellent in their own right?
@@GabrielSedlakOfficial the 4 wheel steering is great ! so easy to turn in....... Im loving this car, I dont think I will ever need anything else.. its perfect for my wife and I to scoot around in. great in town, great on the highway.. its not a sports car, its not meant to be so comments about handling are irrelevant.. its not meant to handle like a 911..... It handles perfectly for what it is.. My E53 hit bumps so hard I thought I was going to ruin my rims, the RX is perfect in my opinion..
Nice review!! Want to see your GX550 review or TOYOTA new LC!!
Appreciate that!!... Hey If I get another Lexus LC500 I'll TOTALLY do it....should have done it before I get rid of it (SAD)!
And the GX is on order... If we get it... YES for sure! THANKS
Thanks for watching 👍
couldn't agree more
🙏🏼Appreciate you watching! 😀
Great video, own one myself in black. The only two issues that annoy me are the lack of auditory feedback for lock/unlock and the ambient lighting. Because they swapped over to an electronic door latch system you can't hear when the door is locked or unlocked and I had my wife/kids, and friends get pretty annoyed thinking that I didn't unlock the doors after they pressed it the first time. And, without any auditory feedback on some of the switches, I now have to look at the buttons to make sure I pressed them correctly where as in previous generations as long as I heard a beep or click I knew I hit the right button. Regarding the ambient lighting, I get that they muted it down but I wish they still gave the option to crank the brightness up considering the high cost to install the lighting in the first place. Maybe i'm blind but in the summer I can't even see the ambient lighting and the rest of the season I would have to be driving in the pitch black to notice it.
LOVE it in Black!
I need to see if there is a setting somewhere that can change it from the electric beep to an actual horn or another setting I think I had it set in our LX's over the years...
Agree about the door lack of sound. One thing that the G-wagon had down that other manufacturers should add a bit of is that audible lock sound that assures whats happening... you can hear it 50 feet away 😁
I go like analog feedback for sure ( classic). Also agree that the ambient should ba adjustable. It's sure a great feel good feature!
Almost got the Dark red interior, but my wife wasn't a fan.
Appreciate you detailed comments!
Thanks for watching 👍
Happy owner of a 2022 RX450h Fsport/Handling Package here. I love it but admit I'm intrigued by the power of the 2024. Who knows, if the 4 cylinder-turbo proves as reliable as the time tested V6, perhaps I'll upgrade in a couple of years.
It's funny, you said nothing bothers you and then the car beeped at you for momentarily looking away. Got to admit, that would bother me.
Lol... Im not buying one for my kids... can barely afford one for myself (but it was worth it).
The 450H is AWESOME!! Agree the new engine will have to be proven...They keep adding it to other models like the new TX, so Lexus seems to be convinced it's the answer.
Yeah, the "look away" feature is a bit crazy...I need to see if I can quiet it up in the settings, but I don't think about it much anymore, just used to the prompt and make the adjustments subconsciously....maybe that was their intention??
My son is a pretty cool kid and actually more self-controlled and responsible than any adult I know...so I wanted him to have something awesome, may trade it for something else, but for now, he's a happy guy!
Appreciate the comment and thanks for watching 👍
The safety features include your insurance data about drivers habits and will base on your safe driving record
Great Video! How comfortable are seats for a long road trip? Are they the same as the RX350?
Yes, they are very comfortable for sure, but they are definitely more performance-oriented, they hold you in the seat. The RX 350 is more daily soft. I would like it if they mixed the SOFT of the 350 with the PERFORMANCE of the 500 seats, then it would be a 10... it's a 7.5 for the 500 and a 9 for the 350.
I like the thigh extenders on the RX 350 Luxury, I wish the 500h had that in addition. But they are great seats anyway, and they don't fatigue you while driving a distance... They surprised me...WELL DONE LEXUS!
Thanks for watching 👍
Wow this ford is a firebird! Nice baby raptor
Nice and well done video. I have the exact same vehicle. Same color exterior and interior with all the same option. I love everything about it except 2 things. The Mark Levinson system. I love ML in other Lexus but in the RX is just not very good. Also, I wish Lexus would have the "walk-away-lock".Those are the only 2 things I do not like about this car. Please let me know if you're agree.
Perfectly said! YES I totally agree..... The ML is great but there are MUCH better experiences in the LX and LS for sure! And the lack of sound in the locks are always a bit odd.
Having had G wagons.... it has set a high bar that's almost impossible to beat, bad comparison I know but I SURE DO miss the lock sound! Lexus could up it just a bit. Other than that, HARD TO BEAT the RX!
Thanks for the comment and for watching 👍
You have me looking at 500h im still in a 2017 ls460. Hate that i only get 16 MPG. With this RX i can keep the 360 hp and get better mpg.
I think you'll REALLY enjoy driving it... Have you tested one yet?
I got the 2023 RX 350 platinum plus the only thing I don’t like about mine, It should be one color all white and I love white
I bet you LOVE IT! The 23 is Awesome, and proven!
Thanks for watching 👍
I need a truck like this. Small
No physical buttons for drive select?
I need a new car but can’t part ways with my 20122 Benz ML 350. It’s such a fun car to drive, pretty powerful, but they don’t make cars the same anymore. Im thinking of a Lexus but still doesn’t convince me 🤦♀️
Have you had a chance to drive any of the new Lexus?? They are great! Even if you don't get one you get to experience how solid they are. LOVE Mercedes, I've had a bunch, can't go wrong there either.
Thanks for watching 👍
I have this car in Caviar with red interior. I really enjoy the car but unfortunately whenever it rains hard the roof leaks extremely bad. It’s been in the shop over two weeks and it might soon be a buy back from Lexus.
NO WAY!! leaking roof!... that is unacceptable. Are they going to take it back or are you keeping it!
LOVE the Caviar with red.... mean looking!
Thanks for watching, and would love to hear what Lexus does for you with that issue.
The problem is usually a clogged water channel drain, pretty easy to diagnose and fix at home.
@@GabrielSedlakOfficialI found out yesterday they will replace the pano roof. We’ll see if that fixes it! I hope so 🤞
@@Fearless-1drains were not the issue. They checked that. Replacing the pano roof now. I had water coming in over every seat but the rear passengers side. I think if the tubs were blocked it wouldn’t be that widespread. Also at the time it happened the car had less than 600 miles on it.
@@pklemm1 hi, did you get the issue fixed in the end?
You didn't talk about the difference between 2023 vs 2024 which the title of this video.
Thanks for the clarity....meant to say 23/24 because they are almost exactly the same except for a slight price increase, and a couple small updates.
Video on iPhone was superior at 17:00
what’s mpg,
is it really 83 miles w/ hybrid?
For us, it seems to be around the high 30's...
I need to test it out on a road trip and then do a video about it.
I found this from Lexus: good info on how it all works
Thanks for watching 👍
During light acceleration at low speeds, the vehicle is powered by the front electric
motor and rear electric motor*. The gasoline engine is shut off.
During normal driving, the vehicle is powered mainly by the gasoline engine. The
gasoline engine also powers the generator to recharge the battery pack and to drive
the motor.
During full acceleration, such as climbing a hill, both the gasoline engine, the front
electric motor and rear electric motor* power the vehicle.
During deceleration, such as when braking, the vehicle regenerates kinetic energy
from the front wheels to produce electricity that recharges the battery pack.
While the vehicle is stopped, the gasoline engine, front electric motor and rear
electric motor* are off, however the vehicle remains on and operational.
The EPA rates the 2024 Lexus RX 450H+ at 35 mpg combined when running on hybrid power and 83 MPGe when including electric driving.Oct 26, 2023
right, you dnt have the plug in
any reason why you didn’t choose a plug-in/ hybrid
Does it have auto start stop feature?
Yes it does but it's so subtle that you don't even notice it which is different.... the electric is so smooth mated to the engine they are both virtually silent and interchange seamlessly. Most hybrid are far more clunky...Lexus did a great job.
Hope that helps?
Thanks for watching 👍
The color is whatever the wife says it is ;)🤣😂
I don’t like the mirror put on the door lock unlikely
looks like you like white vehicles :-) Very nice car !
Appreciate that! .... it does look like white is a pattern for us LOL!!
Thanks for watching! 👍
My mom likes lexus rx 350 2024 and Nissan muruno.
They are both wonderful cars!!
She has good taste 👍🏼
Does it have steering memory
Hey, do me a favor I’m not sure I understand. What do you mean steering memory? Are you talking about an auto parking feature or the steering the assists you keeping and on the road while you’re driving?
I love lacroix and I know when I see a lacroix can 😂
😁🥤 Gotta love it!
I miss the roar of the engine
Great video quality on iPhone
THANK YOU! 👍
Never liked Lexus but this one looks really nice but also expensive.
If you end up going this direction it's a pretty fantastic car. One of the best things about it is how effortless it is to drive it maneuver it and park it.
If this one's a little too pricey, the RX 350 luxury is incredible it's not as peppy, but it's more comfortable because the seats are much softer, either way, the RX is a great option. Thanks so much for the comment and thanks for watching👍
Are you a Lexus dealer? Why did you have so many LXs 😭
No, I'm not a dealer.... 😵💫😁
It's just the 2010 LX 570 was the first nice vehicle we ever bought when we started having some success with our company.
Our family got hooked on it, and we just kept on trading them in whenever new updates or body changes occurred because we loved the LX so much.
We've traveled extensively across the country
in them and all of our children were raised in LX's. We just thought it was time for a change to see how we liked the RX. Great so far!
Thanks for watching! 👍
The one thing that has me scratching my head is how lexus released this new gen rx but failed to address the rear doors that when opened, result in the rear tire being exposed. If you lean into the car or are not careful getting out, you will get tire dressing and/or tire grime all over your pants. One of the biggest engineering flaws i have ever seen.
Goodness! Yes, I need to check that out... totally makes sense, and definitely way too open to the tire... THANK YOU! and for the comment 👍
I think ambient lighting overboard like in all the Germans looks stupid.
The ambient lighting can be overboard that’s for sure and when it’s super bright, it actually is distractive…
I like the fascia, looks like a rabbit face with teeth!
It's a decent ride but not MDX ride
Hey, appreciate that it’s pretty awesome for sure, but hey, I cannot deny that that MDX is fantastic. I think Acura does an incredible job with that vehicle!
Thanks for watching.
