- Easily the most important model in the Lexus lineup, the latest generation RX offers plenty of positives for buyers looking for a midsize luxury SUV. Just keep in mind that some competitors are sportier to drive but its hard to beat the level of smoothness and comfort that this latest RX 350 delivers on.

I own a 2019 RX350, and is one of the nicest cars I have ever owned.
The Lexus RX is just the perfect luxury SUV and I see why so many people really love this car. If you want smooth, comfortable, quiet, and just pure luxury, the Lexus RX is one of those vehicles for you.
it actually does have remote start from the key fob. you push the lock button 3xs (2 fast and the 3rd hold for 6-7sec) you will see the lights flash and then it starts.
THAKS FOR THAT , IT WORKS! UNLOCK TURNS IT OFF. BETTER THEN PAYING FOR THE APP,
Exactly he lied you don't necessarily NEED the App to remote start or NEED Apple Carplay to use iPods & cellphone onscreen
@@empowerimpact6324 how do you use your iPod on screen in this car
Or they couldve designed a remote start button. Then again, maybe for reliability reasons, they didnt
yea big caveat is you need to have an active subscription!
I own 2009 RX 350. I’m 29 by the way. So I’m a young buyer. Lexus IS my favorite brand. The body rolls were fixed the car play was fixed for 2020.
The Lexus RX is a pretty great vehicle and the interior is so nice and so comfortable and you are right, the leather is so so soft.

I just got mine a couple days ago...exact same as the video - LOVE IT!!! My husband never falls asleep in the car (especially when I'm driving, lol), well we took our new ride out for a Sunday drive, looked over and he was sleeping like a baby! Very quiet and comfy!!
kimaya29 Hows the car ?
This car is beautiful looking car. This generation Lexus executed a flawless design. I had the RX 350L 2019 as a loaner, it did have a lot of body roll. But the car was fun to drive at least for me. The Audio system was amazing. The cabin felt like complete luxury.
I really LOVE the exterior of this car Lexus really knows how to make a good looking car
Lexus has nailed it with the RX, the styling, interior, features. great product.
justin It's a Rebadged Toyota Highlander and in my opinion it's hideous and it isn't that great of a product, it's for middle aged housewives who's children have left the nest and maybe an older female middle school principal
Leonardo Just because it's on the same platform as the Highlander, doesn't mean its one. Hence the resson they left 3rd row seating out. The looks of the car looks nothing like Highlander. Especially the interior. Funny how everyone pulls that "its a rebaged Toyota" excuse out. No one said anything when Mercedes-Benz or Maserati was with Daimler(Chrysler/Fiat), but I do respect your opinion.
well, yes it uses the same chassis and i have no issue with that SO LONG AS they offer a unique interior architecture (this does have) a unique driving feel (this does have) unique switch gear (this does have) better sound dampening (this does have) unique interior materials (this does have) and a unique design (this does have).
justin bouche Yeah, true.
justin bouche Good point I don't know how the driving dynamics differ from the Highlander because I have only driven my aunties new RX so I can say that I don't like the feeling that I am going to roll the car every time I go threw a corner at +50 mph
I used to complain about Toyota's FWD 6 speed automatic, but I could possibly be more pleased with this 8 speed automatic. It's geared perfectly.
This vehicle nails it for me. I got the 2017 F-Sport and love it. If you want a more responsive ride, you get it with the adaptive suspension in the f sport. But I got it for luxury. I have a 2016 Mustang GT for fun. Gives me the best of both worlds.
Your reviews are wonderful . Thank you. Keep them coming .
Excellent, comprehensive, well-presented review! Thanks!
Thank you for covering the suspension. An important fact MOST reviewers fail to cover.
Always look forward to your reviews Sofyan :) Keep up the good work!
i did a review of the 14 if you want to check out how the car looks after 60K miles !!
Your delivery is as smooth as this car. I just subscribed.
Thanks for the unbiased review! :)
Actually, I was surprised at how well it does handling corners when I drove one.
a well done review!
Very detailed review on this Lexus.
Love this car. Great review.
Yeah Rah - Other commentators have not been so blatantly honest about the RX as a cocooning, comfortable, luxury, not-engaging-to-drive SUV with just enough power and torque. There must be enough buyers who don't want to hear the words sport/sporty/engaging - RX sells 2 to 3 times as many as any of the other luxury SUV models. Great review!
Just got mine I love it ❤️😍
You should use a body mic. Then your videos will be on par with other car reviewers on youtube! Nice review!
fantastic review. thank you
As usual, a Good review..
Because of your Video, I bought a brand new 2017 RX 350. LOL. Thank you.
Not sure why that's funny, but ok...
@Evan Morrison I have had this car for a little more than 3 years now. I only want to speak of the experience from myself, and try to be fair. I don't like to writer reviews since everybody's taste is different. first of all, the car is very beautiful, it is still good looking till today and I still receive compliments from people once a while. It is very very very smooth, quiet when I drove between 20 -40mph (I would think it is this range), especially 20s, 30s, It is so smooth and quiet. when I drove about 80mph, it is not very quiet, but, I would say, it is not very loud either. I heard some people said the noise depends on the road surface and tires as well. over the years, I had some issues with the car, and sometimes really bothers me, maybe it is just my car? some hissing sound from my glove box, I am very sure it is the switch. when the surface is rough, and speed is around 40s, it is unbearable. I have been to two different local lexus dealer few times (probably 4-5 times) and they could not figure it out. sometimes no hissing sound at all. I just open the glove box all time when I drive. little cracking（maybe hissing) sound here and there once a while. I think some the internal material is kinda a little bit cheap plastic looking and thin, probably that is why some times light cracking noise came out somewhere? I am kind of very picky person when talking about driving with noise, so sometimes really bothers me. Just try test drive and try on rough surface. I personally still like this car though.
how is it doing ?? i am think of used one😬 2017
@@pickready1871 I would say, it is a really really good car. Used Lexus is very reliable. 2017 RX doesn't have carplay or touch screen, or alexa that comes with newest model. The car runs very smooth, and very good looking. I can't think of any other car can beat Lexus with the same condition, same level and same price.
L Ditze That was quick one :) thanks for the reply :p
That front end looks so sharp
Great review Sofyan! Keep up the great work!
nice, very thorough video
please review the new X3 man! I love your reviews
lexus is such a good make, I was so impressed to discover they are a luxury line created by Toyota!!!!! i want this one now!
Great reviews as always. Keep it up man !!
Lexus is the safe luxury choice. It's for the the people who buy a Camry instead of a Mazda 6.
You always do a great job with your reviews!
he is a racist on toyota and lexus
Great review. Thanks.
If Lexus does one thing better than German car manufacturers, it is the interior. The quality is just excellent without cheap plastic. Leather is almost everywhere, and this is an example how the interior should be like for the money you pay. Love it.
Keep telling yourself that.
tonkatoytruck bmw has plastic that peels after 2 years. That’s what’s happening to my e60 :(
Look just fine to me & im looking for one right now
Hey Sofyan. Love your reviews. Just wondering if you have the Chrysler Pacifica lined up to review anytime soon.
My DREAM Car 😍😍😍
Hopefully. This is going to be my 50th birthday gift to myself👍🙏🥰
I love this interior and the color is off the hook. I have a 2007 RX and they should be trying to upgrade the power plant a little. I will be upgrading in a bit but I'm looking towards the GSF. I love the smooth ride of the RX though and it is quite classy and very comfortable to drive.
i did a review of the 14 if you want to check out how the car looks after 60K miles !!
Anyone else hears some kind of high frequency sound in this video's background audio? I keep hearing it throughout this entire video.
this is not the spindle grill. this is the base predator grill.
I disagree with you on so many levels man.. The flooting roof looks damn hot on the 350.. And the ride is unbelievable. I do enjoy all your videos though..
The RX does have remote start...it's hidden. Push the lock button three times and hold until the engine starts. I have this car and I use it regularly.
Steve K just commented this before I scrolled down. My family just got a new GS and I was sad that it didn't have remote start until googled and found it! Great car btw, the new RX's look amazing.
If you use the navigation a lot the 2 screens are nice.you can leave one zoomed in for detail and one out to see how much farther you have to go.

I have lexus RX250 last 10 years even i didnt face any Rapair more than $500... only chaged brakes few times thats all works like new...now almost 350000Km... for sure it will go another 200000km simply.... time to moce new RX#%) SPORT.... LOVE THE LEXUS
The Lexus key fob does have remote start. Press the lock button twice and hold it for a third press and it'll take about 10 sec. the lights will blink and the car will chime and start. But, as soon as you unlock the car it shuts it off.
Tyler Beeson thank you🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 you are one of the few people who know that
Thank you so much dude!
But what's the point if as soon as you unlock the car it shuts off? If autostart can come in a 2010 Jeep Liberty I would think it can work like normal in a Lexus
My question exactly
@@justSTUMBLEDupon
I am 100% cross shopping with the 2017 MDX Advance, which is why I wish you reviewed the F sport.
I really like your reviews, but I wish you would comment on the quality of the stereo in the vehicles. I usually lease my cars and so an aftermarket stereo upgrade is not possible. Thanks!
Thanks for the suggestion, we'll try our best to incorporate it for future reviews!
DrScopeify though I agree with you on the subjective front, but I think most people can universally agree what sounds good and bad to a degree. Especially with someone like sofyan who's around different vehicles all the time listening to music, he probably knows the good and the bad in stock car systems and could give a good opinion.
It has a good sound system I listen to hip hop r&v and Spanish music and the stereo does justice
Will Aerley My wife's has the Mark Levinson audio system. There are few better systems I have heard in any car. It is incredibly clear and 835 watts. Highly recommend it.
$2500 option, the base system sucks!
Nice job buddy- will you do the Hybrid F-Sport? Thanks.
12:55 about the premium gas, where did you get that info?
My dream car
Dude, lets correct a couple mistakes here. Lexus does NOT recommend premium gasoline. It clearly states regular 87 octane. Premium won't hurt or help it. It's not a high compression engine. Next, the Luxury Package wood trim does not have "pinstriping". That's laser cut aluminum strips of metal, embedded into the wood and clear coated over.
I have a 2016 RX350 Luxury package (same vehicle as 2017) and love everything about it. The best thing is it's paid for. This is definitely a keeper.
I have the2017 lexus rx 350 and I love it!!
I subcribed and turned on notifications.
Another Toyota/Lexus design that will still look fresh after 10 - 15 years. For example: Toyota Estima 2006 - 2007, Toyota Prius 2003 - 2008,.
ruzzell907 yeah
camry 07-11
the only SUV that doesn't look hideous.
justaman The grille is too big though, I don’t think there will be much use to it
can confirm the sleeping part. me and my 8 months old daughter literally slept like a baby in the back while my wife was driving.
This interior + highlander exterior = win
Ballin houses in the back
I really like this car. He is very reliable
I see this car everywhere I go
Hello Sofyan, I was wondering is the power folding side mirrors come with all models of the RX350 or is it just an option that can be added?
i did a review of the 14 if you want to check out how the car looks after 60K miles !!
Not sure why an SUV needs to drive like a sports car🤔. Does an apple need to taste like an orange?
Do you know what the S in SUV stands for?
I test drove an RX350 today and I must say that after watching all these TH-cam videos, they don’t do this vehicle justice when compared to seeing one in person. I thought my ML350 was luxurious until I saw this. It honestly makes my ML350 looks like a piece of crap. Lexus you got 👍🏽👍🏽 from me on this. Is 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 allowed? Btw. What you keep referring to as a pinstripe, is called an inlay.😊
I wonder what the high pitched sound emitting from car was? I definitely noticed it several times and it didn't sound like it was from the camera?
The Camry is gonna be excellent with this engine/8-speed.
Cool car. I really love it.

My very first used Lexus SUV I want to buy.
It's between this or a 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan for my next vehicle purchase after having my first car (Lexus es330) for almost 15 years. Opinions?
I saw you uploaded some pictures of the new accord, when will the review be coming out?
We have a few videos ahead of the Accord, it'll go live sometime next month!
NOT. EVERYONE. WANTS. A. SPORTY. VEHICLE. Luxury brands really need to chill out with that! If i wanted a firm ride, I could buy a nice chevy!
Right! yes! bless your heart
automotive journalists have ruined the ride of most cars because they created the narrative that every car needs to handle like a sports car. Hence the terrible ride and stiff seats in most vehicles
Then buy a damn chevy!!!
Chevys are dumb cos they are not as reliable as a Lexus
I have a friend who is about 65 & wears glasses. She just brought a 2017 Lexus RX 350. But she is something strange when looking out the front windshield when she is driving. She says she is seeing a waviness. She said she does not see it at night, only during the day. Brought the car brand new & has driven it for about 150 miles. She also checked other RX 350 models on the lot & has the same problem. She said she tried a RX 450 & it was much better but she still saw the problem. I told her she should just return the car to the dealer ship. BTW we live in HI.
Normally I detest these front license tags, but when it comes to Lexus models, they should make the front plates much larger.
hey sofyan i know this might be crazy,but when will u have your hands on the new camry
Patience, Toyota just showed the thing a little over a week ago lol. You may have to wait a couple months, but we plan on attending the media drives whenever that happens.
Redline Reviews I think your response to him should be "Don't you worry,I'll bash it with bad reviews about cheap plastics & lack of power in a few months"...🙂
penvon Based on your response u should keep your negative impacts to youreslf
DP Lewis The guy doesn't like Toyota/Lexus so what else would you expect from him reviewing their product?...You wait a couple months like he said.
penvon no one ask for your assistance sir i asked sofyan 👌👌
Kinda missed the whole point, that this auto is quality and reliability NOT sport.....You didn't mention quality once. Also, you compare it numerous times to the sporty Jaguar and even mention the broken down things on that car. This particular Lexus does what is intended better than any other hence the record sales numbers. Based on your review if a car is not sporty it is mostly worthless. .. Review is Slanted and Lacking....
....oh by the way; I AM a fan and love most reviews. This is just my opinion today. Thanks for providing.
( also, the RX is EXTREMELY quiet with super sound insulation, sound deadening windshield, and double pane front side windows; this auto is luxury not sport )
We're pretty sure we mentioned the multiple times how smooth, quiet, and refined it is, interior quality was also talked about and we even had it as one of our top 5 favorite features in our Redline First Impression video. We also talked about how its mission is to be all those things and sporty isn't one of them. If you want sporty, we'd happily recommend an MDX, F-Pace, GLC, X5, etc.
what's the point with sporty SUV,that's just german manufacturers marketing.Lexus is better by miles in quality.Anyway's great video :)
Nick Yakuza Yes ! I completely agree. I traded my 2015 BMW M sport SUV for this 2016 Lexus. Worlds better. I spent $2100 in not covered maintenance during the first 10 months on that BMW. It is solid sturdy and sporty but really lacking quality. Who needs it.
Redline Reviews // Thanks for the personal reply; you did mention smooth, quiet and reliable at least once but dogged it five times for every compliment for not being sporty. You did, however, say that this Lexus just wasn't your 'cup of tea' so I felt like it never had a chance in this forum. I guess it is obvious that I own this car. But, having also owned a 2015 BMW SUV and a 2014 Mercedes SUV, this car by far is tops. I don't race them; I just drive them. Neither here nor there, love the review, catch most every one, keep up the good work. You are providing information that we cannot get at the dealers. Your reviews are a great asset. Thanks.
I also agree that Acura's are good, sporty, and reliably built, just not as refined as a Lexus.
MDX interior is not close enough to RX to compete in that front.
Or exterrior
I was wondering if u can review the RXL
Could you drop a link to the music you be having
The head rest does move forward and backwards. It clicks in 3 stages.
Only on F-sport models
I love lexus
I love the Lexus RX, I think it is a beautiful car but to be honest I love all new Lexus products lol
Do you guys have the 2018 or 2019 RX 350 F Sport review?
Looking for my daughters first car and leaning towards 2016 rx350 for its safety and reliability
I Love Lexus Vehicles.
the rear design is for drag reduction not just style. the most aero design is a water droplet shape. the more a car looks like that the more efficiently it goes through air. so a swept back rear like a droplet.
Hey Sofyan, I saw a "Display" button in the infotainment. Does it have the old option of "Screen Off" in there? Hoping it cuts power to the screen like it used to, instead of that annoying backlight you get in the other cars.
JDMHero47 I own this car...yes screen off is in there and all black / lights out
...and then when u push an involved button the screen lights up, makes the display, and then off again.
I only buy used cars now, and I would love this vehicle now, but I am annoyed that their technology was outdated even for its time, and they didn’t offer the rear seat more features like heated seats and climate control. I think Ford and Lincoln has them beat on technology and rear seat features.
can you please review the q50 3.0t with 300hp
I would still buy the car wit the body rolls. The average buyer doesn’t really care to much but can do without it. The Lexus RX is the champions of the Luxury SUV Crossover segment. Which includes Mercedes GLE 350 BMW X5 and Audi Q5. It is regular crosshipped with those cars. Not really Acura MDX. Lexus IS in a different lane. And are the number one Japanese luxury brand.
I cross-shopped the RX and MDX when we bought my wife's vehicle. (She chose the RX). When I replace my MDX, it'll be either a newer MDX or RX.
Nice review...and yes, butterness is important.ha
Does the highlander have a firmer ride in comparison, with less body roll?
14:58...this is a fact! Test drove this yesterday for the first time. Never owned a Lexus and the first description I gave on it was that it felt like butter! Picking it up this week. So excited.
Did you purchase? I’m thinking about purchasing as well
I’ve had my certified used 2017 for a year now and thoroughly enjoy driving it. It’s the best car and I’ve been driving a long time.
I'm glad Lexus hasn't added Start/Stop to their cars. It just isn't refined enough yet.
dcharizard91 it's a waste of your starter, and it's just plain annoying
No it's not. I've researched this. @@toyotahachiroku8509
@@jjayguy23 It should cause premature wear on your starter as on a normal day you might use it 4-5 times versus like 30 times when start stop is enabled. A starter should not last as long
can you review the v90 cross country?
This guy loves speed :). I saw the Jaguar review and he totally had a smile from ear to ear. I like them both but Lexus is my ultimate fav and I am thinking about buying one in Dallas
It is really hard to select among 350, QX70, X5, and ML350...... really hard !!!!!!
Sofyan! Would you say the NX drives sportier? How about the Q5? I know i am comparing to a smaller class of vehicles.
Both of them are sportier to drive mostly because they are smaller and lighter. Between the two you asked about, the Q5 would be our pick, especially with the 3.0T engine.
Redline Reviews Ofcourse the Q5 would be your pick.Smh don't understand why Lexus even gives you their vehicles to bash on TH-cam.
Though it may seem Sofyan dislikes Lexus, there is truth in his reviews that they are behind in technology. Lexus vehicle's don't have the best fuel economy right now which is as important as reliability to some.
whats the point though, what does it do better than a cx5, rav4, crv, etc.
