🔴What's the biggest drawback of the Lexus RX in your opinion?🤔 🏆2025 Mazda Miata Turning Auto Industry UPSIDE DOWN 👉 th-cam.com/video/2Hpp5mNdXNs/w-d-xo.html
My RX is 13 years old. I did not buy it new though. It has been the greatest car. When I drive it, I feel like I'm driving on a pillow. What a smoooooth ride. Plus it has been 150% reliable. It always instantly starts and has never ever broke down. Thinking of upgrading and would definitely buy Lexus again. They're expensive but worth it!
I have a 2010 RX350. I've had it for 10 yrs. I do regular maintenance and the front struts were replaced. The absolute best vehicle I've ever had. I'm 75 and I believe it will outlast me!
My wife bought a RX 350 h luxury and we just used it for a road trip and we thoroughly enjoyed it. So much so, I am seriously considering buying one sometime next year and I’ve been driving a tesla for the past 4 years. Sure the Lexus lacks the acceleration that I’m accustomed to but these Lexus vehicles are simply the best vehicles you can buy.
There are 24 reasons why you should buy this car, if you can afford to, this is the most realible car brand in the entire world, and the base model comes with extras that you would have pay for on most other cars, it is not the car for you, if you want to race, but if you want to get where you're going in comfort, There is no other at the same price point. Oh and a New Lexus come with 10 years or 100,000 miles in the U.K. beat that if you can.
I have owned Lexus since 1989. It is true that parts of the RX have Toyota architecture - but that isn't a bad thing at all. I have 3 Lexus in my garage currently and will continue to do so because quality, reliability and resale. If you are considering buying a European luxury car like BMW be sure the visit the dealer's service center first. Ask how much an oil change costs? You will be shocked.
Just bought a Lexus RX 450h+. It is an unbelievably well made, high performance vehicle with great electric range. I’m getting 45 miles on a charge which covers my daily driving. The car is made in Japan and it shows by the high quality of the materials, fit, and finish. I was driving a Jaguar F Pace S which was faster than the Rx but the Rx has shorter braking distance and is more comfortable on trips. Highly recommend this vehicle. It is worth every penny and my gas bill has gone from $80-100 weekly to $10.
I live in the big city - as most of us do these days. I can only as fast as the car in front of me unless I want to be the boy racer that everyone laughs at.
Yes, all the things you mention are true. However, all us Lexus owners know that already. We buy these cars because they are the BEST made vehicles in the world and always have been. Ride is luxurious. Comfort is exceptional. Power is fine in the base models and if you want more buy up. So am I ok with some of the "lacking" things like less HP than a BMW for example? Yes of course. My POS BMW is no less than $1000 every time I go into the BMW dealer. Never again with that brand.
@@paula4910 Yes, they all depreciate, just some faster than others. Compare Lexus to the German brands. You will just how much more expensive it is to own European. Depreciation is the biggest and generally hidden cost of owning any vehicle.
@MasaoJPN, the main reason is going from a V6 to a mediocre 4 cylinder turbo charge, plus the new one weights less than the 2022 V6 model, finally it requires 91 octane gasoline, whereas older model say from 2014-2022 are designed to work on 87 octane gas and they run smooth as silk, and the last reason, new models very expensive, more $$ than the much better crafted V6 models.
The 6 reasons given are nit noid based on my wants. I'm buying the RX F sport combustion engine model. May wait to the 2025's show up in dealerships. I don't care how fast it goes from 0 to 60. Just give me 4/50k warranty, a decent stero system, and I am happy. I'm not crazy about turbos, but doesn't today's 4 cylinder have more torque than its predecessor 6 cylinder, not that I care.
I don’t get when you say about the gas mileage not being great. I looked up BMW X5 and Mercedes GLE350 and they both get worse MPG then the RX350 and the RX is far more reliable then the GLE. I will stick to my original plan of buying the RX
My wife and I went to the Lexus dealership here in Scottsdale AZ.While she is talking to the salesman I am roaming around the service dept. talking to customers.Everyone of them said they loved their car,and would buy a Lexus again.They also said the service is top notch.Now your going to pay $170 for an oil change compared to a $100 for a Honda pilot,but they didn't seem to mind.
I have a 2023 RX350h, my first Lexus, love the style, luxury and fuel economy. I did not buy it expecting a performance SUV but one that had the level of tech and great ride. Got what I expected and what Lexus was selling. Not sure what the purpose of your review is? Cheers
I've owned many Lexus over the years. I drive a 2021RX now and like all of them, great products. You just can't beat it for an everyday driver. I have found the dealers to be excellent as well.
I purchased a ‘23 RX non hybrid for my wife (replacing her ‘19 ES350). I agree with the safety nannies pointed out here and is one of the main reasons I did not get the LX for myself. The mpg is solid on the non-hybrid (for a mid-size) calling it mediocre is a bit out of touch. Guess this reviewer will never own an SUV made before 2020, lol.
In defense of Lexus I believe, while staying true to the origional concept, they offer just about every flavor RX buyers want. Beyond that buyers have from NX to RC to choose.
I am sure Toyota/Lexus would gladly give us the V6 or better yet an inline 6 cylinder if the Federal Government wasn't forcing the auto industry to raise their CAFE standards to unrealistic levels. Maybe with the change in government sanity will be restored.
I have a 2022 Lexus RX 350 base. Agree the move from a V-6 to a 4 cylinder was not a good choice but I don't have that to deal with since I have the now no longer made V-6. As far as the rest - my car has a quiet comfortable ride. I do not seek " gusto" "performance" or lord forbid " cutting edge technology." The car was not nearly as expensive as the pricing cited in this video. But here is the key point- there is no such thing as performance and reliability in the same car. It is always a trade off. I chose reliability intentionally. I have zero interest in competing on the road.
이해할 수 없는 영상입니다. 나는 1999년 RX 300 를 280,000 miles 을 타는 동안 큰 문제없이 아직 까지 매일 잘 타고 있고 2022년식도 구입하였습니다. 25년 동안 큰 고장없이 소모품만 갈아 아직도 잘 타고 있는데 이런 영상은 아마도 경쟁업체서 만든걸까요?
I personally want a boring ride. And you certainly can't knock the incredible resale value of the RX nor the industry leading reliability scores by truly authentic sources. And it isn't going to cost me close to $1,000 for an oil change like at the Porsche or BMW dealers. I know because I made those mistakes earlier in my life. I believe this may be a plant by a competitor - maybe BMW??
I've owned many Lexus vehicles but I'm stuck with my 2022 Lexus rx450h because I cant or should say wont pay that kind of money for a 4 cylinder car. Please Lexus bring back the V6 Lexus RX back
It was the Biden administration that raised that CAFE standards to unrealistic levels that auto manufacturers can't meet unless they put pedals in. We all know EV's are a joke. The electricity to charge the batteries has to come from somewhere, and for most folks that is the local power plant and almost all produce copious quantities of green house gasses. They are not kidding anybody! EV's are a transitional product for that reason. I see hydrogen fuel cells that the eventual answer.
I have a 2020 RX450h and it has 308 HP and gets good mileage for its size, I love this car since it has a V6 3.5 Ltr engine. Unfortunately Toyota due to government regulations are forcing unrealistic emissions targets and Toyota had to bring in the 4 Cylinder Turbo engine which I don’t care about.
And we all agree with you. It's the "save the planet" people that want on bicycles and living in caves. I live in California (sorry folks) and can tell you that is exactly where we are headed.
you have something against the Lexus RX? these models are selling like hot cake, all we have to do is to go to dealer take a test drive and look at the specs, why should we have to listen to you, hello
Just get the non hybrid V6 version with the real auto trans. What you give up in many aspects you get back with longevity. My only problem is its price, but I'd rather get a used one than a truly overpriced European truck.
It was the Biden administration that imposed totally unrealistic CAFE standards on the vehicle manufacturers forcing them to drop what people want and give them what the government thinks we should have. End of discussion.
Cool, you got your views but your logic lacks a lot of perspective, and purposely throwing shade at vehicles you clearly have no real life ownership experience with
I am sorry to say I am fact checking you. The RX350 and 450h are all built on the Lexus enhanced GA-K platform and the RAV4 is built on the (TNGA) platform. Lexus has never claimed to be sports ride oriented, but they do luxury extremely well. Try comparing apples and apples not apples and bananas.
Sorry to disappoint you. This is a badge engineered very overpriced and very much overrated Toyota. You can call it whatever you want but it is a Toyota and Toyota is a cheap brand even if this vehicle is loaded with gadgets. If you owned one (like I did) you will know they are bottomless pit.
I have driven most so called European luxury. All they did is to burn a hole in my pocket and don’t even hold the resale value the way so called Toyota/ Lexus hold.

Lol the rx is literally the best selling luxury SUV and they hold their value and don't break down what's not to like?

but not these 4cyl !....i drive a RX too
I have a 2010 RX350. I've had it for 10 yrs. I do regular maintenance and the front struts were replaced. The absolute best vehicle I've ever had. I'm 75 and I believe it will outlast me!
What year did you get? I'm looking at getting an rx350
I have rx 350 2007 v6 and still running and in good condition till this time,with 400,000km+
this car is only for sensible people, who do not like to show off
..and don't care for repair shops 😉
Or impress people who don't know you nor could care less what you are driving.
Exactly!

Yes, dont buy the best selling mid size luxury car, others with money and commonsense needs to buy

BMW
Stands for BRING MY WALLET
Its just a car, point A to point B, sits in the garage 95% of time depreciating
@@paula4910Maybe ur car sits in the garage 95% of the time. Mine does not. How about you drive what u want and I’ll drive the best car made?
@@paula4910 Yes, they all depreciate, just some faster than others. Compare Lexus to the German brands. You will just how much more expensive it is to own European. Depreciation is the biggest and generally hidden cost of owning any vehicle.
RX is the best selling mid size luxury SUV man! Why? Your reasoning why we shouldn't buy RX doesn't correspond with reality.
It WAS the best selling but their reign is over. I own 3 RX's and I won't buy it without the V6.
@MasaoJPN, the main reason is going from a V6 to a mediocre 4 cylinder turbo charge, plus the new one weights less than the 2022 V6 model, finally it requires 91 octane gasoline, whereas older model say from 2014-2022 are designed to work on 87 octane gas and they run smooth as silk, and the last reason, new models very expensive, more $$ than the much better crafted V6 models.
Have the new type, it drives like a dream.

I’ve owned 2 4th generation RX and have loved them. We’ve just upgraded to the new RX500h and absolutely love it.
This guy obviously works for a different car manufacturer. This is the most biased and idiotic video I have ever seen.
Got mine some months ago 450h+ and I’m super thrilled with it !
I love my 450H +
It has sooo many safety components & with the plug in I hardly buy gas
❤ my car
Me too, just bought mine and am very happy so far, zero buyers regret, drives like a dream IMHO

This is your option. I have had two RXs so far and they have been great.
I have a 2023 RX350h, my first Lexus, love the style, luxury and fuel economy. I did not buy it expecting a performance SUV but one that had the level of tech and great ride. Got what I expected and what Lexus was selling. Not sure what the purpose of your review is? Cheers
I believe this is a BMW shill. It's a professional production that cost money. What motivation would an individual have for this?
I've owned many Lexus over the years. I drive a 2021RX now and like all of them, great products. You just can't beat it for an everyday driver. I have found the dealers to be excellent as well.
This review is crap!
He says that one of the issues is that the ride is too soft? How is that bad?!!
the guy that made this video is a disgruntled Lexus hater
@@minhnguyen-mk9om he cant afford an RX
@@stevecordero6549 and they cheap only like 60k
He sells Acuras
German Sedans whether VW Audi MB BMW Volvo and even the MDX, has more of a sportier feel
I’m still taking my odds with RX, still going to hold better than the other Germans 😂
me too
Me three
I'm done with German cars too! A huge money pit!
I love my RX

Don't recommend channel.
The market is deciding whether or not they’re buying. Guess what? They’re buying.
My wife loves the new 2024 RX 350h, says it's been the most comfortable SUV she's driven so far, and how's feeling soft being a bad thing???
Awesome video I love your honesty and inside scoop on these vehicles. Most reviews just recite boring specs which is so played out
Removing the 6 cyl killed it for our family . Had a 4 cylinder HS250H . Sold it . Drive one going up hill and you will understand my point .
for us too !! no way ....lExus lost its path
It’s better torque and better at altitude than the v6. Great cross country driver.
@@toddolson7273 🤣😂...ok, we talk after 350000 on the tacho
I am sure Toyota/Lexus would gladly give us the V6 or better yet an inline 6 cylinder if the Federal Government wasn't forcing the auto industry to raise their CAFE standards to unrealistic levels. Maybe with the change in government sanity will be restored.
Got the 2021 it is by far the best model rx . The new ones have so many things that don’t work for the car the engine being the biggest disadvantage.
100%...i wil drive my 2010 RX450H a bit longer and than buy a 2020-2021 model !
I have a 2022 Lexus RX 350 base. Agree the move from a V-6 to a 4 cylinder was not a good choice but I don't have that to deal with since I have the now no longer made V-6.

All the reason the RX is a great buy.
Ok, you have 6 Reasons why we shouldn't buy RX but what else you recommend and how many reasons to buy that and compare to RX?
Still excellent reliability and durability.
And quality AND resale.!!

They screwed up a previously beautiful front grill and removed the classy rear badge by spelling out LEXUS.
This is all subjective. As they always say, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder". But I agree with you and that is my personal opinion.
I have a 2020 RX450h and it has 308 HP and gets good mileage for its size, I love this car since it has a V6 3.5 Ltr engine. Unfortunately Toyota due to government regulations are forcing unrealistic emissions targets and Toyota had to bring in the 4 Cylinder Turbo engine which I don’t care about.
same here

So which vehicle would you buy
never heard more stupid things. you like bmw - buy bmw, who cares. you like fiat multipla - buy fiat multipla. who cares?
I hate the fact that the back hatch is sloped so much it hurts space wise !! I wanted an "L" with the 6 cyl engine, not for the third seat!
Lexus dropped that model for a reason. It wasn't selling. They have to make a profit you know.
you have something against the Lexus RX? these models are selling like hot cake, all we have to do is to go to dealer take a test drive and look at the specs, why should we have to listen to you, hello

The grill
Someone has Ford edge buyers remorse
Sticking to my 2017 base model. V-6 all dayyyyyyyyy. I don't know what Toyota was thinking when they put a 4 banger in a 2 ton Tank.....
It was the Biden administration that imposed totally unrealistic CAFE standards on the vehicle manufacturers forcing them to drop what people want and give them what the government thinks we should have. End of discussion.
He must have gotten fired by LEXUS! LOL
This is a BMW production.

Definitely right ✅️ because you cheaper option like cx9
Poppycock, fiddlesticks... If bullshit was music, we would have a brass band here.
Do you have big enough bank account just in case toyota is going to sue you? Do you know any good lawyer?
I am sorry to say I am fact checking you. The RX350 and 450h are all built on the Lexus enhanced GA-K platform and the RAV4 is built on the (TNGA) platform. Lexus has never claimed to be sports ride oriented, but they do luxury extremely well. Try comparing apples and apples not apples and bananas.
or oranges.
These are just personal opinions on why not to buy the RX.
Plenty of cars out there just as good as Lexus for far less money, don't buy the hype
says the ignorant person.
why do you care about fuel economy by owning a SUV? If you really care, get a bike
Most unenjoyable ranting and whining
You are miles away from truth
LAME.
Well first reason, its hideous
❤❤❤
Dumb review!
Reason 7 is UGLY and only old people drive it 😂😂😂
And what is wrong with being old? It generally brings experience and wisdom along with it.
Same rear body Design boring 😂😂😂😂
Lexus RX is truly boring in terms of aesthetics and technology.
..Nothing worse than dealing with my X5 repair bills 😖 ...so glad i switched to Lexus
Sorry to disappoint you. This is a badge engineered very overpriced and very much overrated Toyota. You can call it whatever you want but it is a Toyota and Toyota is a cheap brand even if this vehicle is loaded with gadgets. If you owned one (like I did) you will know they are bottomless pit.
