I recently bought the lexus rx350, its really amazing how the road noise is blocked out thats equipped with 15 speaker mark levinson. Recommended car!!
Ive driven all of them and honestly the GLK is the coolest and has the best balance. Its a fast SUV. The Lexus was plain boring. I can see older people liking it, but the looks and driving are way relaxed. The GLK has a cool look and I actually rather the interior of it to the other two. FX is cool as well, but they ride very rough. I bought the GLK and love it. Its a matter of preference.
@@MotorsportiesCar That's great but how much has it costed you to get to that. 190k really isn't much. I believe maintenance is key to any vehicle. However some vehicles require more maintenance than others.

I own an FX35 and your evaluation is complete bollocks! Works great off road (3ft of snow) with a smooth ride stamped with 20inch rims. I'm a 6'1 driver and all my buddies who are 6'1 are comfortable all around. Being a passenger in a GLK, i'd have to say is the worst back seat experience ever! Thanks for match up, enjoy the show.
I own the fx37 and love it. It's crazy quick for a heavy cross over, and it's has 4 transmission modes. Normal revs to 7400 and fairly smooth, snow mode takes away power and rpm, manual shift and finally sport mode. Sport mode is so fun shift at 8000 rpm or a little higher and halls ass. I also, when driving like a responsible adult, get 17.4 mpg in town and a nice 27.34 on the highway.
@ITunes02 2 years in and oil changes only. It's an amazing vehicle, and I will say in sport mode it shift at 7500 normal driving it shifts at 2200. 0-60 times in sport mode are 5.6 seconds. Again its an under estimated beast for a v6.
I love these reviews. You guys (including Andre, The Mechanic) are quite amusing. I think the Lexus manual might be telling you that knowing how to drive is unimportant, since all the electronic gadgets will perform the task for you. Just sit back and enjoy the scenery. Cheers.
I have the GLK350 coming from the factory next week. Fully loaded black on black. I drove all three and liked the Benz the best. All three are nice cars.
You guys also chose the Limited Edition FX37 which has the 21's. Plus they did change something for '13, its a 3.7L instead of the 3.5L. Same as the G37/370z
plush luxury (lexus/merc) vs sports luxury (infiniti)...depends on what you want..most people find the RX more practical due to the space, hence the outcome of more RX's, if not the road will be full of impractical coupes and convertibles that are priced about the same...But put the fx37 against the rx350 it will beat it easily...
Tiffany Nguyen My family just picked up the Lexus RX350 and we were blown away by how comfy and quiet the car is for it's price range! It makes the potholes here on the east coast somewhat bearable.. lol
Yeah,maybe this description was accurate 5yrs ago though, but, here in 2020, things aren't the same as before, and now, I'm sort of beginning to lean towards the Mercedes.... The city where I live, having a quiet soft ride is much more important than being hash,loud and sporty, so my darling Infiniti might not cut it anymore, thoughts overall styling is really to kill for....however, I think the Mercedes is a sweet balance between the soft riding Lexus and the sporty feeling Infiniti, and on the plus side, ITS A BENZ and here in 2020, that's more of a luxury statement than it's ever been before.
Yes its fast but the point is to cover all the bases. I think this is a fair matchup with fair reviews given the intent of the video. Each of these excell in a different area.
The electronic steering on the 2013 model is better suited to this crossover. But the old car was fine. A little bit numb but than again it isn't designed to drive lie a sports car.
Thanks. This helps. I was confused between these two. Right now I own a ES330 and need a bigger SUV. was not sure FX or JX is the best one or I should Stick with Lexus.
When you drive this thing everyday, you notice every bit of difference. But yes I do agree very little changes. I don't really like the new post 2013 versions. The front end is nice but I feel the back need to be redesigned as well.
Just bought an FX37--the only car I would ever own. Not sure why they chose the hillbilly to drive it--this car handles better than the Porsche I traded in. Lexus=Rich soccer mom. (Note: Do NOT buy this car if you are a dude) Mercedes=Someone who desperately wants to appear wealthy. Horrible looking car. Infiniti=Someone who doesn't give a sh*t if the dude in the backseat is 6 feet tall. It's all about me mofo! Summary: Buy this car if you want an AWD beast of a crossover.
Lex is a better car compare Infin and Merc, I have been in all of them and Lex has the nicest interior and softest ride, it's might be mom car but I think its the best in this list. Infinity is very noisy, after 30-40 min drive u kinda fill uncomfortable because of noise and the Mercedes don't even look like Mercedes, for $50,000 I better drive E series even dow its not a suv then than small GLK. P.S. They should'v add BMW X5 in that list, BMW vs Lex might be fun to watch. thank for review guys
Interesting match up, but buyers of the Infinity are not looking for comfort. The Lex and the Infinity are on two completely different ends of the spectrum. Personally, I love speed, so I would buy the Infinity. I think a better compromise is the Acura MDX, a little punchy plus a good family hauler.
nathan: "infiniti-good steering feel, really good steering feel, probably best in class". couldnt agree more after driiving every sports suv in market including x5m, porsche , range orver and mercede gle . Infiniti is sportiest suv in market
I haven't driven the other two but did get to drive an rx350 for a couple days, honestly not a sporty vehicle at all, doesn't like to be cornered but rides like a dream, can't feel any bump and super quiet. Interior is nice.
Why did you guys do a 0-60 run in the GLK in eco mode and not sport? And it seems like Nathan brake torqued in the RX and FX but not the GLK. Was that just because Roman was driving it?
The RX350 is the perfect balance. Practical luxury design, practical performance, practical MPG, practical size. The GLK350 sounds like a beast, looks the best, and is something I would buy. I would have taken the fx35 a few years ago, but this new FX37 is too dated and all it carries is a new engine.
why buy a infiniti when you can get the lexus, best in class. Idk about where you live but here there are rx's left and right. There's a reason why they're so popular !
Lexus are the best (quality, luxury and reliability) the mercedes you can just enjoy it with its first three yrs of warranty but after five years sell it or you will regret it
False, check the prices now for a used MB GLK, in the same range (if not more) vs used Lexus. I love Lexus, by the way, but I have had interest in purchasing a used MB GLK.
Glk shouldn't be compared, instead bring the Ml350. Also I bet the Glk option sky rocked that price tag otherwise it wouldn't be there in the first place.
is there a particular reason why Lexus is the only car company(that I am aware of) which covers their engine bay full of plastic covers? is it simply to make it look tidy or is there a technical advantage to this? Smooth airflow perhaps? And if so, why many other car companies does not follow suit?
I recently saw September 2009 design patents for the Lexus CT200h. The rather spindle-lite inspiration for the December 2009 design selection of the final 2013 Lexus GS exterior. The CT200h design patent, references cars up March 4, 2009(AM One-77), so that's the earliest source of Lexus' spindle grille.
why the hell does towing capacity matter for these vehicles if a guy who had enough money to afford a vehicle like that and still needed to tow a boat he wouldve got a good pickup as a towing. these suvs aren't for towing at all
Are you clueless? It isn't even 2013 yet, you meant April 2012. The Lexus spindle grille for the 2013 RX was designed in 2010(design patents prove that), while the original 2010 RX was designed in late 2006. In 2011, the facelifted 2012 FX started using this grille. That was designed in late 2010 as well. The explicit Lexus spindle grille dates back to 2009 when the 2013 GS was designed.
I usually like watching you guys, but im sorry. This was a terrible comparison. All 3 cuvs dont even compete with each other nor are the geared towards the same audience. The fx shouldnt even be in this review...heck youre faulting it for the things that it was deliberately created for. Come on guys you can do better. How about and fx, x6, rdx comparison to be fair.
It depends on the car. We launch these cars several times using various techniques and use the most successful when we film. That includes torquing/revving, paddle shifters, short shifting - - you name it.
based on price not size...hence "53k mashup" in the title, im guessing the ml costs more since it's bigger? they're trying to show who gives you the most for your money, which is what most people care about foremost when buying a car
I'd go with FX37. Sure it's not as luxuries as the Lexus but it won't bore you while driving. And the benz, GLK is just too small of a crossover.
Oh my favorite it's the 2013 Lexus RX350. Great reviews, I really enjoy them all.
Out of the three, I'd prefer the engine note of the Infiniti over the Mercedes and the lexus
They secretly agreed, but Mercedes paid more for this review

Fun video, thanks! However, with high end stuff like this, it would be nice for you to speak about cabin noise.
I call bs on the Mercedes 0-60. I’ve tested the 0-60 on mine numerous times and it’s always been just a tick under 6.0 0-60.
Are you using sport mode? My fx37 is a lot quicker than what they got. In sport mode it revs to 8000 rpm, normal mode is 7400 and still quicker.
I agree, ita also the best built real SUV for offroad capabilities. I have a 2010
Thanks for the nice comment. Please stay tuned. We've got the new plug-in electric Ford C-Max and SRT Viper this featured later this week.
The Lexus is "too luxurious". He made it seem like a bad thing.

It professionally? And what's the point?

i fuckin love that infinity!!
Does Nathan hit his head getting in and out of every infiniti? Is that like a ritual he has to do before driving 1?
I would drive a Lexus RX 350 over any other SUV on the market. I mean people considering speed as judgement for an SUV...?
Andre needs to have a bigger role in your videos!
Good job guys!
Thanks for this incredible review Roman and Nathan!
7:07, How could you guys do 0-60 in ECO mode in GLK? It starts from 2nd gear...

Where did you hear that from??
