My grandmother has been waiting for this new version, she's going to be so happy to drive this to show off at her Bridge games. Her old RX has held up well.
Love my 2016 and I’m glad they’re offering different powertrain levels. Maybe the only thing I would change in mine is going for a higher torque plug in hybrid
Lexus RX "Beluga" The front-end design is ruined by the extra bump panel that matches the body color. Reminds me of an elephant seal or a beluga whale. Other than that, it looks great.
My thoughts on the new Lexus RX 2023. Let me start by saying: I love the Lexus RX. Ever since I drove it for the first time a few years ago in Florida, I have been in awe of this car that is so different than the Audis, BMWs and Mercedes that I had driven before (me being from Germany). Frankly I had never heard of the Lexus RX before I sat in one. Anyway, it was love at first drive. This car was quiet and comfy, luxurious with a silky smooth V6 engine and lovely soft leather seats. And once I put my hands on that wooden steering wheel, man, I never wanted anything else. The Lexus RX was a car that didn't make me want to drive fast, like my BMW or an Audi. Instead it enveloped me in relaxation and confident tranquility. Never before have I found myself reaching my destinations more relaxed than in a Lexus RX. The newest generation of the RX now comes with new power trains, modernized interior, and revised optics. And to be honest: I don't like what I'm seeing. Compared to its predecessor it has become lower and wider. The RX's beautiful classic SUV proportions have been shifted to a more cab-rearward appearance, emphasizing its sporty aspirations. Accordingly the hood has become longer, creating a visual imbalance with the shortened rear overhang. New creases on the flank create a dynamic look and the wider rear with the light bar give it an athletic and aggressive stance. The car also seems to sit lower to the ground although no numbers on ground clearance have been released. The interior has been reduced from opulent and plush to sleek and minimal (no doubt the materials are of fine quality). Lexus did not resist the trend to remove buttons and incorporate many functions into a massive screen. The analog watch did not survive and I have yet to see that glorious wooden steering wheel on any press pictures (I have little hope). Why do I like none of this? The Lexus RX is one of the important cars in automobile history. It defined the new class of luxury cross-over which has since been copied by countless automakers. It was the trend setter and it was confident about what it was (and what it was not). It never aspired to being a sports car. It was a luxurious, smooth, quiet family glider. What I see now is a car that is trying to be an Audi or a BMW. A car that is giving up on the things that made it marvelous and gave it a unique character. Sneered at by too many car reviewers (who just don't get the RX) it is now trying to be like the cool kids. Sporty, dynamic, aggressive, sleek, minimal? None of this I want from a Lexus RX. And even if I wanted that: I could just go and buy an Audi.
Very important car for Lexus I hope it does well. Big up Lexus engineers for never settling and constantly on the road to the relentless pursuit of perfection… 🫡 🇯🇵
It might be. There have been some rumours that the regular RX and the RXL have been merged into one roomier vehicle. We’ll just have to wait and see I guess.
@@markplott4820 can you tesla nobbits shutup about your plastic, no-good quality control having 4-door electric wheelchair of a car. Seriously. You just compared a full electric car to a hybrid. You got worms in your head? Speaking of. The rimac obliterates it. No one cares about it being a production car either. Just so you know before you start using it as an excuse presuming you even have one in your garage to begin with.
@@markplott4820 we enjoy the employment here in Texas, but we are getting too many people here driving up our home prices. They may employ people, but their cars will be a long time coming to market here!
After 15 seconds, I put this video on Mute , but enjoyed Finally seeing what I've been saving for on my screen! But of course, I'm developing a a love hate relationship with that Nose!
Like it or not.....but it cant be denied that Lexus' design team is working harder than anyone else........The way Lexus' design language is carried forward is something to be appreciated!.....(Unlike some other brands)
Lexus I’m in my second RX 450 I got the first one and have loved it. This is great but just a miss on the upper beak on the grill. That flat section with the flat nose really throws off the awesomeness of the new style with the extension of the hood to a flat beak
The X5 is the benchmark. As an owner of the current gen, I hope the RX 500 will at least perform and handle the same while excelling in reliablity. But we can only judge reliablity in years, not days.
I absolutely love the X5’s design/style and performance/tech but hate their dependability/reliability and rapid depreciation. That alone puts me in a Lexus.
Wow, SweetNess!! Really wish those Red Calipers was on the NX350 F-sport. Maybe offered as a Stand alone accessories direct fit upgrade option.. Lexus is gonna start killing it from the NX, RX and on. Sorry, competition it's been nice... Stay Safe, Be Safe!!!
They are still way behind the technology offered by Tesla. This is a step in the right direction, but years to late, and stuffed into a slug based on 18th century technology. Toyota used to lead the industry but now they are struggling to keep up.
@@yousef.al-assaf Drive them both, and compare, that's it. The voice command in the Tesla is way more functional and complete. This is still a gasoline engine, developed in the 18th century, way more advanced, but another version of the same old technology. Horses are faster today too. Last the performance is nice for your grandfather's car, but if you want performance, sorry just doesn't come close to a Tesla. Drive and compare.
Bought an RX350 2021 mint condition in the end, for the LAST classic V6 3.5L engine. Try both on the road, you will see even superior optimization, 2.4T just cannot match up with 3.5L. Hopefully, there will have more engine options.
Dear Lexus, did you run out of money or the designers fell asleep and did not finish the front of the TX and RX, please finish the last 30% of the design or fire the people approving the front , I work next to a Lexus dealer, and it pains my eyes to see the front of the RX and TX in the parking lots every day
I really don't understand the choice in styling with the disconnect in color between the grill. It just looks off especially with the line dividing that piece and the front of the hood. Not to mention killing off the silky smooth V6 that have helped make the RX one of the most refined feeling and reliable powertrains on the road. This is a luxury car and it should have that option for those that want it which I'm pretty sure most would take if it was available.
when I was young (25 years old)I like BMW and Audi ,but right now 35+ I like Lexus more . Low key and comfort.
My grandmother has been waiting for this new version, she's going to be so happy to drive this to show off at her Bridge games. Her old RX has held up well.
What year did she drive?
I'm a grandfather and my wife has been waiting for a tamed down RX grill. This might be the one.
@@gosman949 I’m severely disappointed with them dropping a 6-cylinder powertrain option. But I do admire both the new interior and exterior.
I think the front end look much better then previous model

thats why you buy an rx350h or rx400h if u dont want a sportier model like the 500h
don’t think it’s a V6
I love that they are offering some performance powertrains. Woop Woop!
If you want performance, you need to test drive a Tesla. Drive them both and then talk about performance.
@@VentoRacing1 it’s not an electric car.
@@VentoRacing1 unreliable junk
Lmao what about these engines scream performance to you???? The car weighs 4500 lbs and a 4 banger is good enough ? Lmao

How’d you keep the mileage so low? Do you have another vehicle too?
The 2018 version is the best and most reliable with the least problems. I searched up “what is the best year for the Lexus rx” and it said 2018.

Loving the sportier look

I'm getting this for sure RX 500h F sport
How does the e-latch work? How does it improve from conventional door mechanism?

I expect these to be all over SoCal
I love Lexus, the beautiful Car😍😍😍😍
Love Lexus
Hey Lexus! I'd love to make a video of the all-new Lexus RX! Looking forward to hear from you soon!
i will finally buy a lexus now because of that front grill redesign
But how's the back up camera quality though? My '22 ES has the same quality as a Motorola flip phone from 2006.
Hopeful in the top of the line model lexus rx 500h will come to the philippine market to level up the luxury crossover game
The Edmonton Oiler game starts at the same time tomorrow, can you launch it earlier
Nice one!
all we need is Lexus Hover cars gone is Space into Dystopia futura
Can't wait! 🔥
This was 100% shot at Twin Ring Motegi racetrack. Brings me back to Gran Turismo 4.
Let’s go
I don’t see a lot of change on hand outside. Hope the RX is available at dealerships soon.
THANKS FOR THE LUXURY 😍🤩
This car has all the good features of 2012 prius 5 👍😁
Brilliant
I can’t wait for the IS to get updated.
the best quality car
Does this use a CVT gearbox?
Great !!
i hope they keep the V6
Agree!
It’s gone no more v6
They removed the V6 completely. It’s a 6-speed I4.
The sides and rear are fluid. The front is angular. If the front had more curves and a bumper like the Ferrari suv, it would look a lot prettier.
Very nice looking SUV
i actually dig it

So its basically a Camry Crossover
Beautiful
I really love Lexus I wish I could get one
Not much of a change in exterior styling for a 6 year redesign. The nicest part of the car was the red callipers…. finally!
It looks like an aftermarket body kit, no complaints thought, looks meaner.
Желаю благополучия, счастья и здоровья всем , кто мне помогал!
Благодарю за взаимность!
the hour glass grille is No more

Agreed, not a fan of the design myself.
I am so glad they ditched the v6 and opted for a v4 (wish they offer a 100% electric), also didn’t change the styling much.
It’s not a v4 it’s a straight 4
Lexus...pop the holes on the first three layers of the grill!!!! It makes the spindle stand out more
Like agost 🖤
I’m glad your going to make another crossover SUV bigger than the LX
