[@ranjit3o]

which world they living in? no Apple/Android CarPlay? btw as always nice video..thanks for sharing

[@NutHouseProductionz]

They build cars not technology. Besides tech today is not going to be appealing in 5 years. It might be 'myplay' or 'microsuckmusic'

[@GuuiYae]

I'm a technology guy, a software developer, an apple product fan boy, I never used apple carplay or android auto and I don think they are necessary. Leaving my phone plug into the car for long period of them may actually reduce the phone battery life expectancy. I even have Qi-wireless charge in my Rx 350, I never even used it.

[@Dobermanator]

All this technology stuff is over rated. I don't even use the doors, I just hop out an open window reach back and use the auto window up. Figure that will save tons on the hinges, doors seals, and latches. I'll never ding another drivers door. I never use wipers either, I just increase my speed so the water blows off quicker. My car does not have Apple or Android capability either but if I think I need it I just ask someone else for a ride and use theirs, sometimes UBER is accommodating that way. I kind of find the apple / android thing similar to arriving at an upscale Western Restaurant for a nice steak meal only to discover they do not have utensils, only those over sized thin plastic film gloves to use. You inquire with the Wait Staff about no knives and forks and they reply "Ah ha, and next thing you will expect will be chopsticks and plastic straws! We are not that kind of environmental Armageddon meal provider here, we do not believe in these Carbon based needless technologies you call utensils."

Amazing review but I do have a small request: It would be great if you could tell us how tall you are when checking the legroom in the back seats. I have a friend who is 5’2” so she is fine wherever but I have another friend who is 6’5” and he struggles in even the larger cars. An approximation would be great so we have an idea of how we would fit in there. Also the head room (from your head to the ceiling) would be nice to see whether people would hit their head against the ceiling of not. Thank you so very much and this video was great :)

[@CarConfections]

Hello! Some of our more recent videos include this info. The driver seat is adjusted to 5'8" and the person sitting in the back is 5'7". Hope this helps!

These cars are absolutely stunning in person. I reckon the Titanium silver is the best color on this one, just my opinion but Lexus vehicles really go well in the silver tones. Interior wise, second to none here, just look at those interesting colorways inspired by their Japanese routes.

[@blingblingsam1490]

John Smith even Hondas have led turn signals. Lexus charges and arm and a leg for these and can't put led turn signals (even with that strip hardware in the back) unless you pay $$ for the triple beam. Shame on them! Other than these are decent vehicles. Also that gaping mouth grill gotta go!

DUMB EDITING

[@howlingwolf125y]

I think the instrument cluster is very important in any SUV/car. This is probably the most viewed area on the dashboard. I love the simple, premium, traditional look of the instrument cluster on this Lexus (at 7:10). It looks nice, is easy to read, and gives you important info at a glance. So many auto companies are trying to reinvent the traditional instrument cluster with odd ball graphic/LCD designs, that just about always are harder to read, and hard to understand and don't look very nice. The presenter mentioned that you can get the "cooler" LCD instrument cluster display with the F sport. Personally, I think the traditional instrument cluster in this Lexus is "cooler" that the one in the F sport.

[@Datsun7705]

howlingwolf125y i cannot agree with you more than i do. lexus and toyota are all about simplicity and reliability so those gauge clusters look very nice and also the finish looks timeless

lexus is a great brand but they should really overhaul their infotainment system and use a rotary dial to control or remote toggles that move to another icon once each toggle

[@confidentialuser4560]

I believe the rotary interface is patent protected. Plus Lexus is the best selling luxury brand with largest baby boomer market share. I go to Vero Beach Florida and see Lexus after Lexus in every grocery parking lot. Old people hate change. Heck, I'm young and I hate change.

2023

[@ronghafary2453]

I have been leasing a 2016 RX which was the first model year of this latest version. The sticker price for the car was almost reaching $60K when I took delivery of it. First, I must say Lexuses are very reliable cars. I have had few of them. Unfortunately my next vehicle will not be a Lexus since I have gotten sick of looking at the I pad looking stuck on top of the dash. If I were going to take a guess, I must say this has been done in order to keep the design cost minimal. After all, it takes a lot more effort to design the screen which is fully incorporated into the dash. Take a look at the Porsche SUV’s. They all have done such a great job achieving this. Additionally, the SUV definitely feels underpowered. So, it is a completely misguided selling point to tell the consumer that you can put regular gas in it since it pales compare to the cost of this Luxury SUV.

[@joshuar4535]

So, your problem with the RX is the screen design, which numerous brands utilize?

[@ronghafary2453]

Joshua R , that is one of the reasons and being under powered. Try NX, the turbo boost at low RPM is great. Much better than RX350. Plus, the price on this vehicle adds up very quickly.

[@joshuar4535]

+RON GHAFARY I agree with the price. In terms of power, the RX is on par with the Acura MDX and Volvo XC90 T6. It is actually quicker than the NX by half a second.

@@ronghafary2453 the standalone screen doesn't bother me as much.. but I agree, it is underpowered especially considering they have a F Sport version, which is only a aesthetic package...
