I've seen tons of Lexux reviewing videos and you are the ONLY ONE I found to show the details underneath the cars! Bravo!
Thanks for the review Mike! I love when you review the cars that I care about, because I always know that I'm going to come away from the review knowing everything I would ever want to know about that car.
looks amazing in blue and f sport, love this car.
Beautiful SUV and Color
Def my first choice for reliability
Thanks for this video. I was looking at an RX for my wife to replace her Honda Pilot.
I’d wait or get the new NX but a new rx should be here soon
What do you think of Mazda CX-9?
Hey Mike. I'm not entirely sure but I believe Toyota and Lexus have the remote start feature to shut the car off automatically just in case if a stranger or child get into the vehicle. So it acts as an anti theft feature and safety feature because Toyota and Lexus is all about safety above all.
Other vehicles require a key to open the car and put it in drive. Turning the engine off then back on makes no sense.
Hello MikesCarInfo; the reason why the engine turns off is that no one can jump into your vehicle and drive away. It is a safety mechanism! It is a great feature.
You have been misinformed. No it is NOT a safety feature. No one can drive off with the vehicle without the key.
Many other brands do not turn off the engine and they are very safe... including police cars used across the country.
Hey, Mike, great review......as always. I'm glad you pointed out that the seats are not the most comfortable and the smartphone issue, as well as the "old people" sounding turn signal. I drive an older Lexus sedan and the seats are nice, but not like my former Volvo. I agree with you about thinking this is a luxury vehicle and I'm not sure about the Sport model. It is as if the RX 350 is trying to be something it is not. Maybe they are trying to appeal to the younger generation.
Waiting for you to get hold of the new one.
I think I can explain to you why the engine turns off when we touch the doors, it's extremely for the case that if you, as a driver, start the car, and a child enters the car before you, for safety reasons, the engine comes to a stop so that the gearshift lever and no other device cannot be moved, in parts it is a positive point because it detracts from safety, in others it is a negative point, because when it is cold or hot we want to get into the car already with it turned on, since we turned it on from the outside through the key, you did a great job, your videos are great, please try showing some BMW 3 series 2021, thank you very much.
With other vehicles the kid cannot enter the vehicle (or put it in drive) unless they have the key.
Sounds like Lexus should go to the electronic gear shifter to make room for the cell phone issue.. Great review.
My new Pathfinder remote start doesn’t shut off when I open the doors but the aftermarket remote start on my 2019 Camry would turn off the engine when I open the doors and I think it’s not making sense just like you said but way back I had a remote start too it doesn’t shut off when I open the doors only if when I don’t put in the key and turn on to the start position first before I depress on the brake then it would turn off to prevent theft but if it shut off the engine when opening the doors then they shouldn’t installed a remote starter it’s a waste of our money to pay for that option . Every cars did differently , why ????
The reason the remote start shuts down when you open door is an anti theft feature, have a good day and keep up the good work !
It is a poorly designed anti-theft feature :)
Remote start shot off when entering the vehicle is a safety feature that Toyota/Lexus implemented as anti-thieft feature. Yes it's annoying when you open the door and have the car turn off just for the driver to have to turn it back on. I normally use remote start to cool down or warm up my car, and by the time I get out of the house the Car is already warm or Cool.
It is not any safer to turn off the engine... just less convenient. It could be a way to make people that do not know how a proximity key system works feel more comfortable.
Very nice suv
Lexus 🔥🔥🔥🔥😍😍😍
I wish they could give this thing like 400 BHP. Then it would be perfect.
I had this for a week and the MPG was awful.. 3.5 V6 combined got less than 20
This is hybrid
The remote start function turned off is for safety. SMH 🤦🏽♂️
Most other brands do not turn off the engine and require the key to open and drive the vehicle. How is this more safe than that?
@@MikesCarInfo looks like you need to Lear a little bit more about cars.
Maybe you should not make false claims that you can't support.
I guess I can understand the safety reasons of the remote start but it would be annoying having to start it twice when you trying to heat it up or cool it down to me that's the purpose having a remote start so you don't have to go to the car to start it up
Its toyota cheap solutions to prevent car from being stolen when you remote starting it and away, the solution should be switching off the engine when door is opened without the key being in the proximity of the car.
Other vehicles require a key to open the car and put it in drive. Turning the engine off then back on makes no sense.
I had a 2016 RX with the same remote start. I hated it. it made no sense.
