    Turbo 4 so much power and better than slow ass v6. Old rx feels like a cheap 2010 Toyota on the inside

    I have the NX 450h+ and I like the door handles, the Heads Up Display, and the gear shift. They take a little time to get used but they work well.

    Fiance ordered this. She had an Audi Q7 and looking for better reliability and fuel efficiency while maintaining luxury and should have better resale value. Got lux package but not Tech package.
    Will need winter tires in the future and good quality floor mats. Arrives in a couple of months.

    Have a 23 RX500H F-sport and no complaints with the HP on it. 370hp is enough for the car as it is but wouldn't have minded another 25hp. You can disable the HUD, and the same info pops up on the driver display and touch screen.

    Hey Ben! We took one for a test drive as well as found the heads up & steering wheel buttons frustrating and loved the comfort of it but not the headache of having to learn the steering wheel/heads up! A no go for this family. Hopefully Lexus can fix this, heard lots of complaints!

      Give the lower trim/less packaged one a go you will love it. The only reason I’m getting the upper trim was for the Nike light and led turn signal lights and other non essential convenience stuff.

    I have the 2023 RX350h Premium +. All the things that annoyed me at first, I’ve gotten use to. I didn’t like the shift gears…now I really like it. Love the screen! I’ve had it for two months and love the car as a whole. It’s beautiful, not flashy and very comfortable. It’s fuel efficient and drives like a dream. I upgraded from a Venza limited package (which I loved as well).

      Holy cow, $15,000! We just bought one, they tried $4000 over MSRP, we ended up paying $2000 over, which being a cheapskate, I'm sick about. They did give us the best price on our trade of any other dealer, by $2000, so that was a plus

      Walked into a dealership and paid list on my 2023 RX500H F-sport. They didn't have any car in stock with a market adjustment. They had 21 RX'S in stock and 8 GX460s online the night before I showed up. They were delivering 5 RX and 3 GX that night and the following morning picking mine up. 6 more RX, including mine, and all the GX were sold. When I went to pick my tags up, the salesman had sold 10 RX since I got mine. People found out they don't jack the prices up and take the drive to get a car.

    • @katevancleef6362
      @katevancleef6362 ปีที่แล้ว

      I expressed interest online and got calls from dealerships in my area. I just said, I’m not paying above list price. If you can’t do that, don’t call me back. They will tell you outright if they do. Eventually found one with no surcharge. They tried to sneak in $1800. I walked out and they called back and removed it.

    So much detail goes into everything, then there's that janky lid for the storage area in the armrest?! If I wanted a car for performance, I would go for the Porsche Macan. But considering that I want comfort, I'd go with Lexus RX. I've been car shopping for almost 2-years and still can't decide. Unfortunately, no one car has it all.

    • @Mr21scott
      @Mr21scott ปีที่แล้ว +17

      Why do people make up stuff? The battery is warranted for 8 years and 100k miles; the car itself is warranted for 4 years/48k. You're never going to drive the car longer than that, ever, and beyond that, there is virtually NO data you have that says a turbo is going to be less reliable. You've made up a fact in your head. Guess what, if the turbos start failing, they'll replace them.
