I think that the price is Ok because you get perfect build quality,, a very good material quality, a good design, a V6 or a Hybrid engine and you get also a very good reliability, where a lot other premium brands not have. This is a car where you can drive for a very long time. Thank you Kevin for the video.
Just picked up a RX450hl. Very solid car. When i close the door it feels like im closing a bank vault. Did not want to get the new upcoming 2023 model. Just not into the new powertrain. We wanted something that will stand the test of time and I know the V6 will.
@@MeynMotorGroup yes it’s built in japan. VIN# starts with a JT. Just another reason why we opted for the L model. Only the L model is built there. BTW love your channel. You provide a unique perspective on your reviews and thoughts
You don’t think Toyota Lexus product will last if you get the new ones? Cus why they’re gonna just give up their rep for reliability? You didn’t do enough research but if you feel like you got a good deal then that’s what matters, but you could say that and know that if you’d done real research you’d know your opinion is yours but not based in logic.
Well Kevin as you know I'm a big saloon lover, not so much an SUV type. We bought the 19 RX350L to keep grandchildren out of the LS, travel, etc. After driving it. I could not deny that it is well built and of high quality. The only con I have is that my wife will not give it up she loves it. Your right the luxury and lighting packages are expensive, but are worth the money. We get 26 on the highway, 19 in town, and with 35k miles it has been flawless, on second set of tires. Great review.
haha you and me both my friend love a good sedan. But yea the RX is impressive and because you have an L model, yours is made in Japan which I think is cool. I can def see why the wife wants to keep it 😅
It’s very quiet and a lovely interior. Gotta say tho, it really does drive like a front wheel drive luxury mini van that was what the Lexus dealer sales person said when he saw me drop my gsf off lol he really wanted me to be prepared to just go slow and enjoy the cushiness and when you do that, that’s the best way to drive the car take your time.
I've now have and had my 4th RX hybrid model. I love it and think it's worth the price difference. Whether you drive an RX350 or RX450h, once you go over 65mph to 70mph+ your MPG you can forget about gas mileage. What I think was missing in the commentator's review is maintenance is a little less money on the hybrid. For instance, with each of my hybrids (2007 RX400h, 2008 RX400H, 2015 RX450H and 2022 RX 450H) I've been able to go over 110,000 miles without worrying about break pads. Each time I have them put on wasn't because I heard the high pitch noise the brake sensors make when too low on pads, but I've been told my Lexus service that each time, I probably could have gone another 15k miles. Compared to non-hybrid, you may find your pads need to be changed at least twice before I had mine just once. That's about $900 per brake job. The kinetic energy from taking your foot off the pedal before braking, already slows you down some. Thus, less brake pads. City driving is quieter. Also, I believe with the RX350, you had differential fluid changes. I may be wrong on that. I do love Toyota... AKA Lexus. They make a great car for the price.
Just bought RX350 F Sports, and just discovering the many features. It is a dream to drive, and parking is very precise and easy. Likely we will get an UX. We prefer the traditional V6 engine.
If you have a family I think it's worthed to get the 2023 rx 350h for two reason. The trunk space is almost twice as big, from 16 to 30 cubic feet. The hybrid train is very refined and gives you 36 mpg, some reviewers say they easily get 40.
I agree I love the new 2023. Problem is going to be price and availability. There’s almost certain to be no discounts available and most likely will have markups and long wait times
I would add one more con to my newly purchased premium car: the radio, capturing the HD signal is as elusive as the lotto. Of course the dealership will not admit either a loose antenna connection or software glitch. After dropping $60k on what i thought would be a joy,...it's rather anti climatic. As a ref, my 2018 rav4 had zero problems in this area.
Hmmm $60k I think I’m leaning towards the GX460. That said I need to buy one soon not a turbo fan unless it’s an old school 930 lol. Keep up the good work!
Love my 2nd rx350 the perfect ride, and never a reason to bring the car back to ther dealer except for an oil change. or a free car wash.. The perfect ride
As a product, the GX is far superior but due to horrid gas mileage it just never makes sense for a family so I would probably just go with an RX L since it is made in Japan
This outgoing Lexus RX looks so amazing,.. I would get it in a heartbeat if I were a rich asshole, lol. But it's basically double the cost of the thrifty Honda CR-V, so alas, I'm sticking with my middle class / peasant compact SUV for now. Funny enough, I'm not interested in the redesigned 2023 RX because the CR-V already has a turbo 4 banger engine and I don't think the new RX looks as cool. It doesn't seem quite as appealing (to me) as the 2016 - 2022 Lexus RX with the V6.
Here's a con that irritates the hell out of me. If you have cruise control at say 60 mph and you reduce it to 40 mph, the car will actively slow to 40. But having got there it will allow the car to over speed downhill. I expected better in a car with such a good reputation. The infotainment system is awful. Designed to raise your blood pressure. I don't know why reviewers always overlook these issues. On the plus side it drives beautifully.
@@MeynMotorGroup That's what I did, I purchased a new one, with Atomic Sliver and beautiful Caramel interior. The last chance to keep the V6 version! (Not a fan for some over-engineering things in the new Rx350 2023)
Ya know thought it was just me but ~ I have to cover my ears when I run mine through the car wash with my 2022Rx! I’ve owned an MDX, 2-door Cadillac, SRX Cadillac and this 2022 Rx350. My friend owned Lincoln continentals and 2-door Lexus sport. I must say (IMO) the American cars were much more luxurious with appointments, and ultra smooth rides than the MDX or this 2022 RX350. It’s ok but kind disappointing [considering the price tag] ! Guess I’ll drive it until the Lyriq fixes it’s electrical bugs 🧏🏻♂️

I love the RX. Always the right amount of luxury without feeling overdone

How's the reliability? Best year? Lowest mileage to consider? Best price?

Nice Congrats!
Everything about this RX is better than the new 2023 RX. Engine, infotainment, and styling.

We bought the 2022 RX 350, our 3rd Lexus. We got it fully loaded and it was worth it.
Love the 360 cameras.
Will never buy any other car.
I will say fully loaded around 65k this is still pretty good value compared to base model X5 or GLE around 63-65k

GX is so good
Yo bro have a Good Friday and Good weekend 🤝👍🏾👍🏾😎
You as well brother appreciate you!
@@MeynMotorGroup No problem bro and thanx 🤝😎👍🏾👍🏾
Another video said the 18 inch wheels were better than 20 inch. He said the 18 inch made the vehicle handle much better.
It’s hardly a difference worth noting I wish I got the 20s looks way better and rides the same
I wish they made this car the same size as the Highlander.
Love my 2nd rx350 the perfect ride, and never a reason to bring the car back to ther dealer except for an oil change. or a free car wash.. The perfect ride
If you had a choice between an RX 350 and a GX 460, which one would you choose?
As a product, the GX is far superior but due to horrid gas mileage it just never makes sense for a family so I would probably just go with an RX L since it is made in Japan

CR V is great Honda makes some of the best normal cars
Best to buy one CPO mint with under $40k miles, will save ~20% off new.
They charge pretty much the same cost of a new one for an old saggy RX that’s 4-5 years old with over 40k miles.

I like how the radio antenna shows up #not
In the southern CA area, 2022 RXs are going for just a bit below MSRP. Who woulda thunk?
Well that’s pretty good at least better than paying full price or even over MSRP
~4k discounts below the MSRP in Bay Area
@@kenblock7350 that’s pretty sweet! I would take advantage of that if one needs a vehicle right now
@@MeynMotorGroup That's what I did, I purchased a new one, with Atomic Sliver and beautiful Caramel interior. The last chance to keep the V6 version! (Not a fan for some over-engineering things in the new Rx350 2023)
Try to get hold of a toyota century and compare it to an LS please
I don’t think that’s possible
👊🏾👍🏾👍🏾
😁👍
Appreciate you sir!
These cars aren’t nice to me it’s very cheaply made the doors are very hollow sounding and the handles
Apparently the RX L is better regarding the doors since it’s made in Japan. Haven’t tried it personally that’s just what I’ve heard
Our 2022 Rx was made in Japan - we are in Australia. Doors are extremely solid
