My wife and I test drove this SUV and then the Genesis GV80 and we concluded the Genesis was much more luxurious in the interior and it comes with a 3.5 turbo V6 which was way more quieter and smoother than the Lexus we test drove for $5K less than because the Lexus dealer marked up the price on the one we looked at whereas the Genesis was not marked up.
@@brittanysellscars5528 Thank you for sharing that Brittany. I had no idea and it's good info to know. So I guess this means that there is no negotiating on the price of the car, just on all the dealership costs, etc.?
I have the 2022 RX V6 F-Sport with all the options, and while I enjoy the car, there’s so many things I like about the newer models that were missing from the older models - like Wireless Apple Car Play, rear tri-quad zone climate controls, and actual touch screen that is positioned much better. BUT I still cannot get over the 4 cylinder turbo engine on this big car- even if the i4 turbo is more powerful than the v6, it’s too small and louder now bc it has to work harder.
Thats why I think the Mazda CX-70 and CX-90 is going to slaughter luxury SUV competitors they basically copied a BMW X5 with a straight six engine and 8 speed automatic for 30% less. Lexus needs to make their SUVs the same 3L straight six with 8speed automatic standard. 4cylinders make too much noise bc they lack torque over higher displacement.
i really love the new exterior and interior design, even more so, I like this particular rear bumper looks than the rest of the trims, is very clean and simple, looks like range rover velar rear bumper. the only drawback is the center screen position, the way they integrated the center screen with the gauge cluster is no no to me.. aside from that any other thing is just perfect...
Lots of people are basing their opinions on what they hear. I test drove this RX350 Luxury, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, and Genesis. Guess what one took the title for OVERALL style, comfort, and tech??? You add reliability and the 350RX Wins. There is NOTHING dated about the 2023 body, tech , and interior. It’s premium throughout. Haters!!
Can you do a general technical specs overview at the beginning? I've only known the RX450H, until now. I waited til 20:12 to see that the RX350H is a 4 cylinder 2.5L motor plus hybrid synergy combined for 246 hp and 233 lb. ft of torque. Much appreciate your work!

This car does one thing exceptionally well. The hybrid engine and fuel economy is a huge plus over other luxury SUVs, though you lose the V6 so it's both a win and lose situation. Interior definitely doesn't scream luxury. Bit disappointing interiors from Lexus this generation. No thigh adjustment, lots of plastic than leather, gauge cluster is worse than Toyota. It's a decent car, but it definitely isn't luxury like the Germans, Volvo or Genesis. Lexus is getting closer to Acura in becoming too similar to the parent brand. New Crown and Prius are getting nice interiors without the Lexus badge. Think they need to go back to the drawing board for interior design for their future EVs.

@naveenthemachine Of course. I would never buy an RX over a GV80, which is the current leader in interior quality.

My 2017 will be the last RX I’ll own. I do not like this new design at all…
I opted for an MDX over the 2022. Lexus IS losing their mojo and I am not crazy about the new RX, specially the 4cyl engine is not as smooth as the old 6 Cyl
been trying to figure out if Acura MDX or Lexus RX is the best option. How do you like your MDX?
@@KalvinPatel MDX is way better in every regard.
@@naveenthemachine damn im so torn lol, been researching both these cars
@@KalvinPatel you should go MDX if you want a true luxury suv
If you want a hybrid get a highlander or sienna.
@@naveenthemachine nice, I’ll check it. Why do you think Lexus Is losing their mojo though?
lol...people who buy these vehicles dont really care about gas savings....gas pricing doesn't affect them...just a talking point for them and their tesla driving buddies.
My first hybrid SUV! Awesome review bro.
I wouldn’t even bother with this. It’s just a nicer Toyota Highlander hybrid / sienna hybrid you know.
On the outside it looks like a slightly redesigned Nissan Murano...are Toyota and Nissan secret partners ? I drive a Murano and the ride quality is as good as in Lexus RX 350...makes you kind of wonder... :)))

Looks like the new Venza

have you guys, also tested a Merc from the same class ?
Yes, we recently posted a GLE review
I wish the hood would be lower (so that I can see kids in the front) and this would be plug-in hybrid.
👆Thanks for Commenting Dm I have something for you🎁
Engine is screaming - most definitely not like Rx's of the past.
Hi, I heard from the Houston’s dealers that they just have luxury package for RX350h at this time, how could you have the premium+ package ? Do you know which dealer that I can order premium+ package in Texas?
Lexus corporate gave us this RX so we cannot speak for what the dealership situation is. Thanks for watching!
Toyota just sucks at designing luxury vehicles

500h?
Would those steering wheel touch-sensitive controls work with regular gloves? Smart gloves?
Thanks guys - always enjoy your videos. The Lexus looks beautiful, and I do appreciate the upgraded features of 14 inch screen, updated tech, ventilated rear seats and automatic parking, but I will keep my 2022 450hl with its 6 cylinder engine. Quieter, quicker and smoother, from what I can see.
Happy Thanksgiving!
@@CarConfections Thank you! Happy holidays to you!
I tried very hard to like the front of the car. But I cannot!
This looks dated. I've had Lexus since 2007. My current 2020 RX will be my last. The quality doesn't make up for the lack of courage to innovate
Lexus is STALE, it's all about Genesis now
Genesis won’t be around in 5 years.
Hater lol
👆Thanks for Commenting Dm I have something for you🎁
Lexus won’t be around in a few years. Genesis is the new Lexus
@@naveenthemachine Genesis is a flash in the pan. Lexus is a tried and true brand with long lasting products and high residuals. Genesis will be trailer park transportation since they will be able to buy em cheap.

Fantastic review! While this vehicle may not steal the show like some of its competitors, it will be around long after.
Who cares about reliability? Buy a Toyota Camry or corolla if you want that
@@naveenthemachine people who want a true LUXURY experience. Not a good look for your luxury automobile to be at the repair shop more than your garage.
@@juelzm149 If you want a true luxury experience why not just buy a Toyota in its top end trim and service it at a Lexus dealer?
Ive seen plenty of Lexus sedans (ES LS GX CT) in a Toyota service center.
@@naveenthemachine well for me personally, it is the dealership experience - night and day difference between Lexus and Toyota. And styling...I've actually always liked the controversial spindle.
@@juelzm149 some Toyotas have the spindle grille. Mirai venza Camry all sport that look
Wow, the most underpowered 4 cyl in its class (both base and hybrid models), connected to a pathetic CVT transmission (hybrid). Slowest in its class. For more money than last year's V6. Sad.
Excellent review as always!
Thanks as always 😁
Excellent review on a not so excellent car
It’s nice but it’s not “luxurious” looks like a fancier toyota venza!.. sad to say but Lincoln, Volvo, genesis even Buick is more premium🤷🏽♂️
Those break, this doesn't
@@ociabiYk every car has problems right?
@@ociabi who cares about that? Every cars reliable these days
If you want luxury and reliability just buy a Toyota in its top end trim.
I totally agree about it looking like a Venza! Especially from the rear end.
Yep. It doesn't separate itself in luxury in something like a Genesis GV80 or even Lincoln Aviator, let alone the Germans. It seems more "premium Toyota" than opulence of a luxury car.
For the most part I really - oops, system malfunction. As I was saying, this car really meets my - oops, system malfunction.
What was the test vehicle priced at?
It was priced at $62,595 before destination
@@CarConfections 😂😂
Um yeah no. It’s dead on arrival. Typical Lexus. What a shame that the new RX is uncompetitive
But this means i was right
Super looking vehicle.
that grill ......yuck!
Of course! 😅
The back with the floating roof line makes the car look saggy at the back

It isn't worth a thing if its unavailable.
Awesome review.
Thanks so much! 😁
Are you sure the acceleration is not bad?😂
the interior is ugly , the painting is low quality , it's nothing about luxury
Ahh! You forgot about the separate cornering lamps next to the fog lamps. Also, are the triple beams adaptive?
I like it! I love the White Seats
I like everything but the front nose. It reminded me of the pig nose, especially close up...lol
👆Thanks for Commenting Dm I have something for you🎁
really like the interior and exterior other then the huge body line around the back wheels
Hard Yes ❤😊
