This would have been great in 2016 when this car was first released. While it still holds up well today, it’s beginning to show its age considerably. It doesn’t help that (correct me on this please) 2022 was the last model year for this generation RX.
I have an idea. You should start checking the interior rear view mirror, maybe with the button test or something. On older and mid 2010s Hyundai/Kia/Genesis products (not sure about the newer ones) the rear view mirror feels very cheap when you move it (even on the high end Genesis) and squeaks a bit when you move it as well (makes me feel great after I just dropped 70k on a Genesis and go to adjust my rear view mirror). Just a thought as that’s a major touch point.
I tested every premium SUV I could find (Europe). The list includes this RX450h, NX300h, BMW x3, x5, x7, Range Rover and Range Rover Sport, Volvo XC90, GLE, even some Toyotas (new Rav4 and Land Cruiser j150). I really wanted to like the Lexus because of their reputation for reliablity, but this Lexus was by far the worst. Biggest disappointment. The interior is a joke compared to the others. Very cheap plastic all over the place. The infotainment is completely stupid. Wind noise is unacceptable, the ride is average. Handles like a boat. I honestly liked the toyotas more than the lexus nx and rx, at least they don't pretend to be premium. After the rx450h I immediately tested the Volvo XC90 T8 and it was simply better at every single thing. Not to mention if you actually need 4wd you can forget about it, it's useless.
As much as this Lexus is terrible I’m not sure how you found the GLE better If you watch this same creator’s other videos every Mercedes is *total trash* and not like “slight creeks” like the Lexus They were LOUD
I cant possibly understand how you had this experience. I have had the exact opposite experience. I have yet to find a brand in lexus’ price range that come close to its interior quality. I will say though that the rx and es have declined a bit quality as they are no longer built in Japan. As for its design and features, Lexus has always been behind on things like that. Understated luxury and high build quality has always been there goal.
The sound on the door handles 😂😂😂😂 NOOOO
very interesting to see the build quality of the Mercedes E class 2024
Poor, like every other modern mercedes

Any chance you going to review the quality of the new 2025 Toyota Camry? Would love to hear your perspective on the interior quality.
It seems Lexus interiors are far above the germans in fit and finish. Maybe not so much on design and materials.
As someone who drives a bmw and recently looked at mercedes. German luxury is nothing but plastic now.
Can you please review latest Mercedes
