    As one of the first-ever luxury crossovers, the #LexusRX has held a reputation for being one of the plushest and most comfortable vehicles money can buy. Now in its fourth-generation, the current #LexusRX350 and #LexusRX450h have been around since 2016, so #Lexus is giving the lineup an extensive overhaul for 2020. Last year, the long-wheelbase #RXL was introduced and while the changes this years are mostly cosmetic, Lexus continues to sell over 110,000 of these SUV's annually in the US.

    We wanted to clarify that the pano roof is optional on the standard length RX but NOT on the RX-L. The Lexus RX is still the same plush and luxurious car it's always been but we seriously think you should pass on the RXL version and just go with the standard size model. Lexus promises the next-generation RX to offer a third row that is actually usable for adults and we can't wait to see what the new one will look like in 2022. Hope you guys also liked the new format of this video! If you do, leave a comment below and we will implement this for future videos! Stay safe everyone!

      It would be interesting to see the redesign of the car and see how much the GV80 would affect RX sales since they are up and coming with more tech that buyers want. It would be interesting to see how the RX looks once it moves to the the TNGA platform as well. I hope the RX extends the wheelbase to give more reasonable interior room for second and third row. It’s apparent that the highlander is way more space efficient than the RX L. Maybe we can get hints of how this new platform would be from the NX which should be redesigned before the RX

    Here in the south, Lexus is synonymous with "old money." The interior as long as it is plush, and exterior somewhat sporty, will continue to be king. People who buy this vehicle don't care too much about flashy toys like brands such as Mercedes and Audi provide, they care about noise levels and reliability. This is justified by the almost 20 year old blockbuster GX460 and the GS350. Lexus knows it's target American audience and they continue to be brand loyal.

    Have had every RX since the 1999 model. The reason I continue to go with Lexus is reliability and Dealer experience. I have NEVER had any issues with any of my Lexus vehicles. In addition have owned GX 460, 3 IS models and a 2019 ES 350 F Sport. I have the 2020 standard length RX. I have peace of mind knowing all of my cars will not have any problems. And yes I have cross shopped all other Luxury brands and still can’t get the same value and resale value of any German or other Japanese car. That’s why it’s still the number one Luxury vehicle in the US. But you are correct, the future of Lexus needs to look very different if it wants to remain at the top. Great review as usual. Just picked the wrong version to review....

      Brad Colby We had a 2013 that was leased. Wife drove it. She didn’t like that the backup camera didn’t have any lines or a frame for guidance. When the lease expired, she got a Murano cause it has a 360 camera. It also has a CVT which I hate when I drive it. Wish we would have kept the Lexus, the Murano isn’t in the same league. Lexus dealers experience was top notch and it wasn’t expensive for routine maintenance like the German brands. I’m here cause I’m thinking of a new RX. 🤔

    I have never been a Toyota/Lexus fan as they always seemed to be behind the curve when compared to their competitors. But recently I bought my wife a used Lexus NX 300. I thought it was a really dumb move as we could have bought a new Mazda CX-5 for nearly the same money. But after going through the dealer experience (it was a CPO car) and living with the car, I have to say...I'm very impressed. The car is just quality. Switches feel great. Seats are great. Ride is great. Performance is more than adequate. I've probably owned over 30 vehicles in my life and none really gave me the feeling of solid reliability like the Lexus. It seems indestructible.
    I'd say if you lease a car or trade every two or three years then there are some fancier options that might make you happier. But if you keep a car for 5 to 10 years, I think the Lexus may be the ticket. They seem to focus more on the tried and true than the latest and greatest.

    I recently picked up my 2020 RX350, continuing my ownership of RX models since 2004. Clearly, I think that they are superior in design, comfort, quiet, equipment and reliability. The two-row model is quite spacious, with 38 inches of legroom in the second row--easily accommodating 6 foot+ individuals behind front seats positioned for 6 foot+ individuals in the front row. I prefer the controls in the RX (except for that horrible track pad, but it is made obsolete because the screen can now be touch-controlled), especially the traditional shifter as opposed to the ridiculous joy stick or push button shifters adopted by some competitors. Two-row RX models are typically priced from the mid-$50's to $60k, which is quite respectable when compared to European competitors.

    This is a great vehicle. Reviewers might not like the old shifter, and buttons, but people who actually use these things on a daily basis love them. Too many companies have gone overboard with removing buttons and putting in huge screens. You also buy this vehicle because it is comfortable. It is not a sports machine. probably the most common reason it sells so well, is that it holds its value very well, and if you choose to; you can keep it for 20 years and put hundreds of thousands of miles on it with little concerned. Not doing that with any of the German vehicles.

    For the paddles to work you need to be in M mode by moving the shifter over. Also when you are in D you can use the paddles, but you can only do so by shifting down first. Then you will temporarily be in manual mode. It's handy if you want to gear down to pass someone or need to move quick.
    IMO the RX sells for a good reason, not everyone wants or needs an engaging fast sporty car/suv. The plush ride is fantastic for long drives and commutes. You arrive comfortable and not fatigued from the road. The bullet proof reliability and low maintenance is something no one would complain about. Sure the tech might be a bit dated, looks are subjective, but overall its something you can buy with full confidence. Again, not everything needs to be sporty. Majority of your driving is going to be everyday errands, work, school, travel, and for that smooth, quite, and refined is perfect.

    Genisis needs to sort out its lackluster dealer network, the service/buying experience and its resale values before it can steal any existing RX owners away from Lexus.

    Sofyan is successfully missing the point of the RX. It's job is to provide a smooth, refined luxury experience, with crisp styling and optional hybrid power. Plus superior quality and resale for $40-60k. A winning combination. If you want more luxury, more features, or more power, you can get that elsewhere, for more money. but you give up things that make the RX the 2nd best-selling luxury car in America to the Tesla Model 3.

    Thank you for sharing this review on the 2020 RX450hL with the Ultra Luxury Pkg - which seems to be the only way to get the fog lamps now. I really do like the Nori Green Pearl with ivory leather seats and the new 12.3 ( finally ) touchscreen. The panoramic sunroof has always been available since 2016 and the ES and finally the LS500 starting in 2018. As an avid fan and longtime loyal Lexus owner I have always been frustrated with Lexus for never offering the panoramic sunroof as an option. I currently drive a LS460L with every option possible but no available panoramic sunroof ! I don’t know what Lexus was thinking with this L version with its worthless 3rd seats because the extra weight and price doesn’t justify the L model. I still believe that the original classic RX offers suitable and proven reliability and quality and affordable luxury and safety as well as great resale value and longevity history. Even when you consider a few of its shortcomings the RX is still a solid crossover SUV buy. With that being said I am looking forward to seeing what Lexus offers us with the nee 2022 RX. By the way, I always request a RX as a loaner car when I bring my LS460L in for service. If I ever decide to buy a SUV it would definitely be a RX with a panoramic sunroof and the Ultra Luxury Pkg.
