Fantastic quality car... Performance and quality... Luxury...

[@pinkipipe]

This car is better than any of its competition . I’m telling you that after driving Benz , Bimmers and few other . Lexus in my opinion it is the best one out there .

I have Lexus RX and my wife has Porsche Cayenne both made in 2022. Both cars are champion in its own ligue. Lexus is more quite cruiser for relaxed driving but Porsche Cayenne its mind blowing sport experience. I am lucky my wife can borrow me Cayenne tíme to tíme!

Funny you say that,
I came to the opposite conclusion
I test-drove the X5 40li, GLE 450, Li Auto Li9, and RX500h felt the cheapest, worst driving (even worse than an almost 3-ton range-extending EV), and the least comfortable. Not to say it's a bad car, but it's late 2000s technology in the 2020s. It's an outdated product, and if this is the "best" Toyota can do as their flagship SUV (Discounting the LX600), than I'm very concerned about Lexus's future.
The interior is also the cheapest feeling in the price segment.
Also, notice the real-world acceleration of 6.5-6.7 seconds, way off Toyota's officially quoted figure of 5.9 seconds. BMW quotes 5.6 seconds for their B58-powered X5 40li, which has a similar claimed power output to the RX500H (around 375hp). But real-world tests bring it closer to 5 seconds. The B58 makes much more power than advertised, and the RX500H makes far less than advertised. Which is a typical trend these days.
And I used to be a hardcore Toyota/Lexus fan!

[@joshuamoore2820]

How is the ride quality? Would you consider it soft, normal, or stiff?

[@sohailqureshi22]

Great review. Thanks.

[@drivingenthusiastaustralia]

Thanks!

The black and white looks good except on the football field.

[@peterryan7340]

Old Pacific Highway?

[@perpetualgrin5804]

Great road, no oncoming traffic. We are lucky in Australia can always find quiet roads.😅

[@fale892]

A warm hatch

[@WayApp]

Lexus elegance

[@Eugen-E]

Tested at 30°C...I think at 15-20°C it will be faster.

[@drivingenthusiastaustralia]

Yep, likely a bit quicker in cooler conditions. Temp can definitely impact performance, especially with turbo/supercharged engines.

[@Stevegrande1]

Ouch front drivers side wheel gouged already

[@drivingenthusiastaustralia]

Nice spot. Looks nasty.

[@lxlmx98]

8:31 😂

[@TonyMontana-os7kg]

its 20 yearrs they cannot make anything faster than their own Ls460 ( i mean full sized awd cars) o my god, what a disgrace. 6 seconds.... in 2040 the time will be the same(((((((

[@New-bw4kz]

Hate the fake noise , its the pussificaction of cars.. pretty pathetic 🤦‍♀️

[@h4ru_d3su]

This engine should've be offered in other trim levels like Sports Luxury instead of being exclusively offered in "F-SPORT Performance (which is not performance at all) ".

[@campbellreither550]

Unremarkable engine note. Sounds very thrashy.
