Funny, most journalists suggest the 350h. The 0-60 is nearly identical and a significant mpg boost plus it reduces the noise from the rough sounding 4 turbo 4
It's only loud on eco mode, it sounds better in sport mode. Hybrid cost breaks even a 2-3 years but the repair cost is more for hybrids though if keeping it for a long time as the hybrid batteries aren't cheap. And you only save gas with city driving.
Lexus builds the RX by allocation. That is, you can't order one just the way you want it. They make them, you buy them. Try to find a Premium + with 19" wheels? Good luck. Yes, the 350h Premium + is the sweet spot. You'll pay about $60K for the privilege. Is it worth it? If you enjoy a true luxury car, with above average power, and excellent MPG, you bet it is.
99% of premium plus models come with 21" wheels. And hardly any premium plus models have the upgraded sound system. I agree that would be the sweet spot, but unfortunately you're stuck with what Lexus produces.
What why do we have to get the 500 or plug in if we wanted a hybrid? 350h too noisy for you? Sure. But going 500 kills the fuel economy benefit. The plug in fuel economy tanks if you drive on longer trips.
@@NileshR12 yeah it is 😂. The TNGA K platform is Camry based RAV4 venza highlander sienna grand highlander Avalon crown nx RX and thr upcoming TX 3 row are all Camry based vehicles. That’s always been the case. The Camry is the bedrock of the TNGA K platform

I think I rather buy the recent previous generation..... nothing beat an old fashion V6 with excellent reliability record....
Yes, but other than price, what separates them?
Buy the year before with the VP non turbo....End of Story!

ACURA MDX is better
The front OK
The brand new Mazda CX-90 is a great alternative to this brand new RX350.... the Mazda CX-90 is v6 with a turbo....
I a agree with you. That Mazda CX90 comes very close to the RX
Too expensive. Pricing isn’t right for this car.
That’s what cars cost these days.
Totally agree. Power train and mechanical setup don’t justify the price and the ‘Rx’
Here’s the short answer:
NONE 😆. There’s no recommendable RX. If you’d like I can explain why
I agree. Who wants a 4 cyl vehicle.
@@corpnupe85 who wants a 4 cylinder vehicle that’s also based on a Camry?
@@naveenthemachine It's not "based on a Camry"

@@naveenthemachine if so which one you would suggest
Base engine is a new 2.4L inline 4cyl, not 2.5
