[@guniseran]

That 3.5 V6 is bullet proof and needs to stay as long as possible

[@CarsofGlasgow]

It is!! Same one thats been in the IS since '06 if I am right?

[@speakingtruths4215]

Car Craze It will. The 3.5 V6 has no chance of being discontinued. The 5.7 V8 is the most likely engine to go. It’s inefficient and gets terrible gas mileage. It will be replaced by a TT V6, no doubt.

Any review with Andrea in, is definitely one that I'm watching from beginning to end - great job!!!

[@edy40111]

Before i clicked on the video, i saw only Andrea on the picture. I thought, that's it, she's got Zack's job!

[@DH-mp6fg]

I’m so glad they have touch screen, I owned a 2015 Lexus and one of the reasons I traded it in was because it didn’t have a touch screen. I might give Lexus another chance now. Great review guys!!!

[@kellingtonlink956]

It has become a class leader. I’ve recommended (even considered myself) the RX to many people. If Reliability, comfort and resale values are important to you, this SUV should not be overlooked. Thanks for another well thought out video.

[@Motormouth...]

Thanks for sharing

[@chuckkerber4735]

Perfect car- love my RX 450H, but they're in dire need of a total re-design! Nice review.

[@deepakjohn9295]

@Motormouth : Thank you Andrea & Zach for this spot on review. It helped me with my purchase decision. Picked up a 2021 RX350 F Sport 3 (Ultra white/ Sporting red interior), last week!

[@Progmium]

The quietness of that cabin is where the cash is!

[@mohammedosman88]

One of the most beautiful vehicles out there.... I love it and wish to buy one some day,

[@kubanskiloewe]

i bought a used one from 2010 ......like it every time i step in !

[@kewl820607]

you guys do a great job together having feed back from two always helpful specially ladies have different angle of things :) to explain 👍

[@Motormouth...]

Thank you so much!

[@andreaspencer9813]

Thank you, we appreciate the support!

[@TalismanPHX]

Awesome review. I can't imagine the 7 seat version of the RX. Excellent review and always enjoyable to watch.

[@Motormouth...]

Thanks for watching!

[@andreaspencer9813]

Thanks for the support! :)

[@You-All-Pokai]

7 seat version don’t buy!

[@FrankyRedEyes]

These rx 350's are a great deal used.

[@deviouslaw]

In what way are they a better deal than other used crossovers?

[@apt62]

Davis Lawrence Lexus certified comes with 2 yr free services and 6 yr unlimited mileage warranty. Sometimes they offer 0.9% interest too.

[@deviouslaw]

@sanju2 no, but I'd say a lot of that perceived reliability is priced in, negating some of the "great deal"

[@deviouslaw]

@Sacha Vasiliev ? I do not have a Kia and do not understand why you'd think so

[@deviouslaw]

@Sacha Vasiliev I have '18 Mustang GT, not that it really pertains to whether used RX are a great deal

[@10tenman10]

I used to live in West Van; I can see having a panoramic moonroof there. In Tennessee it's mostly way too sunny and hot.

[@jsz2619]

Come down to Southern Florida. Your "way too sunny and hot" is gonna get a brand new definition.

[@MrViyasan]

Glad you got the new camera and able to start filming again!

[@Motormouth...]

I borrowed this camera, the new one just arrived yesterday!!

[@kubanskiloewe]

2 things my predecessor offers which these newer models since 2015 dont .... 1: headlights which turn into corners depending on speed and steering angle which i much prefer over these cheap fixed on/off lights like in a KIA. 2: airsuspension wich lower the front 10mm and the rear 5mm on Highway driving to get better airflow at a bit more firm ride. But you can lower it by yourself too. Negative side was they had problems with the shocks, but mine are ok so far.

[@venom5809]

"Could they make the grill any bigger?" Lexus designer "You see I told you they wanted big grills, let's make the next one even bigger" 😂

[@toheebadeshina2740]

Honestly this is a good luxury car

[@Itsellasky]

I have a 2016 RX350. Great Car. The 2020 looks pretty much the same. Very reliable .

[@NetITGeeks]

One of the biggest technology that I like about my 2017 RX (Canada) is the HUD. Unlike some other HUDs (such as some BMWs and Lincon), Lexus HUD displays information directly on the windscreen. There are no plastic/glass frames popping up to display information like speed, gear, collision warning system, etc.

[@AAhmad3449]

So is Volvo and bmw

[@richard-mai]

So did my 97 Pontiac Bonneville

[@wave640]

I have a question for you Motormouth. Our lease on this vehicle is coming to an end next March (22'). We have a 2018 RX350 completely loaded w/ the Mark Levinson, Panoramic Roof, Luxury Pkg., Tech Pkg., etc.. MSRP was $62k. The both of us commute to the city every few weeks for a 300 mile round trip and enjoy the plush, quiet interstate ride, and size/type of the vehicle. My question, is what other vehicles would you recommend in today's landscape if we were to switch up to a different vehicle entirely in the ~60-70k (US) price range?

[@migy5031]

Lexus seems to have taken a step backwards with this exterior redesign. But the infotainment updates will attract more buyers and I’ve heard resale values are legendary.

[@catguy64]

I bought one recently, thought I wanted the F Sport, but when I inquired at my local dealer(tech had one, lived in same city) in the service department I found out you go through tires quickly(25-30k) and mpg is horrible. And I live in a state where AWD isn't needed. I bought the luxury package and got what I really wanted-triple beam headlights, semi analine leather, 12 way adjustable seats(rear heated too) pano roof, & Levinson audio and SO much more! With 10% off msrp I got a great deal. Luxury package all the way folks! 👍🏻

[@GuuiYae]

here in Canada, AWD is needed and you should actually add a couple thousand more to get the 450h, you will be happy with it's mileage.

[@catguy64]

Eden Roth I will never buy a hybrid.

[@GuuiYae]

@@catguy64 may I know why?

Thanks! Keep making more videos!

i have the 2010 model Hybrid version with the superb V6 ! ..reliable car; still runs great with over 270000km. engine most times is understressed; only on Autobahn when going very fast and even then i enjoy its nice sound !! Those 4cylHybrids they offer are just noisy and underpowered !!

[@ROBLOXQUEENHEHE]

make sure get the insurance quote before buy it. 3 friends‘s car were stolen last year in Toronto. All of them are 2019 model. One of them is my Cousin, Police told him that in one night , there were 4 Rx350 reported stolen in that neighborhood. this car is No.1 target for theft who is doing exporting business to Africa. heard some rumors about Toyota has made some update on the software end this year, BUT who knows

[@erict3032]

My wife and I are in the market for a RX 350 for some time now but we have a Lexus gs 350 (2010) garage kept with 129,000 miles on it and it runs like a dream. I really hate to get rid of it and especially get into another car pmt. I know I will regret it. I also have a Nissan maxima sv (technically pkg) with Bose speakers a 2011 that is garage kept along with the Lexus and it has just turned over today to 73,000 miles on it. We are both retired and all our debts are paid off including our house and I really think I will regret it if I make the plunge. Someday we will get one but just not now. Thanks for the upload

do you have PWS in this model? i know all hybrid Lexus UX350h and Toyota car has PWS (pedestrian warning system) while reverse. ppl like to take that off stupid noise speaker, it louder then the regular engine car

[@Glad2BGolden]

How did they get the panoramic sun roof??? I can’t find one

[@tapstring2]

Recently drove a 2019 Rx350 belonging to my neighbor. Certainly a comfortable and quiet ride, but I found the transmission to be very fussy. Going back and forth at lower speeds. drives me nuts.

[@RobertKnight001]

Hi guys. Great videos. I have a question for ya. I noticed that you're driving in Vancouver and around the UBC campus (where we live). We're in the marker for a new car and want to get a new RX450h F but the dealers in the Richmond/Vancouver areas refuse to discount the car in anyway because it's a hybrid. Is this normal? The only incentives they are offering are a reduced finance rate of 2.4%. We love the car but have never ever paid sticker price for a car.

[@Motormouth...]

Yes, the car market right now is super tight with very few cars so not many deals. Go to www.carcostcanada.com and sign up with the promo code Motormouth to get the dealer's cost etc.

[@abal8501]

Hey how did this workout for you? Did you get a good deal in the end? I found Lexus wouldn’t budge either.

[@RobertKnight001]

@@abal8501 Same... We purchased the car with everything we wanted including the color. We tried to negotiate The were like... we'll take $1000 off but that's it . It will sell and we only have two on the lot... Overall, WE love the car and I know we over paid by a few thousand dollars. It is what it is.

[@Crazyuncle1]

It looks much better. The past version had a look even a mother couldn’t love. Like some wild Wildebeest or something you see on the nature challenge. I know they are good cars but that thing was scary looking.

[@efthimios]

Funny you said this I thought same it’s more vanilla and bland than vanilla

[@CarsofGlasgow]

Ps I presume thats about $70k CAD? (about £41k in the UK if converting) Here sadly the 2020 Lexus RX F sport is £55k before options or $92k CAD

[@ydmf2]

Lol the Price is Right demo of the rear armrest... 😁

[@urbanizeddreams]

I like this color on it. Anyways, I actually love the previous generations model looks. Also so glad I don't care about phones that I can buy a car without worrying about the lame infotainment systems. All i want is CD player and USB playback which Lexus has. ^__^

[@danielplainview4778]

Hybrid requires premium vs regular for non hybrid, that’s unfortunate and immediately cancels out a significant portion of the “savings” you apparently are supposed to see at the pump

[@bill7481]

This car looks great from most angles. But the closer one gets to the front fascia, starting with the front overhang, the more the design falls apart. I love this color, though.

[@psychxdelics3939]

I'll be collecting my RX F Sport in a few days... It didn't have the large sunroof shown in the video, mine had a much much smaller one.. why is that?:( I live in Kuwait, does Lexus have these differences based on region?

[@psychxdelics3939]

I also have a wireless charger right next to the charging ports which I haven't seen in any of the RX F Sport videos.

[@luizmac1484]

@@psychxdelics3939 2 years ago I am just seeing the comment 😅

[@TheHouseofSniffers]

Is it me or did the LX350 just become smaller than the Rav4?

[@ronniejaye1]

I think alot of the smoother appearance is due to the dark paint. It tends to subdue the creases and contours .

[@luzmmontero1237]

We dont want to see any more videos of all models we Lexus aficionado looking to see videos of 2022 models like LF-Z model ! Ty for all your videos though 👏

[@MaestroTJS]

The previous generation WAS quite noisy inside. I think mid- to late 2000's/early 2010's was not a great era for Toyota/Lexus. Still reliable and all but their products were a step down from what they should have been. They seem to be coming on strong again in the last few years, which is great.

[@tinhinnh]

Those wheels would look good on the future IS-F

[@moeanthony9308]

I like that. Mrs. Spencer. Mind you don't mess up the real name.. Lol

[@danielplainview4778]

Also the wireless charging pad is essentially useless as you need to be plugged in to use the apple carplay or android auto and while doing that it charges the phone so I can’t really see it being used to be honest

[@ravindersingh4494]

RX350 vs XC40?

[@MrAjay3234]

Don’t forget the camera Zack on the road please!

I have a RX 350 2021 made in Canada. Why do they say get one made in Japan. What is the difference?

No difference, enjoy your car

You missed the most important update.. The gauges!

[@Megzamani]

Thank

[@suesturges6022]

This car is a Japanese made product. But why do some stickers say made in Canada? Could you send me a message saying how much of this vehicle is made in Canada? Does it make it more expensive with what Canada puts on it? Also do not like such a big open area in top of car. How is that closed off? Thank you!!! Feb. 8, 2021

[@johnmattiazzo3900]

Still made in Canada in Cambridge Ontario only Lexus made outside of Japan

[@CarsofGlasgow]

Isnt the ES made in USA?

[@JamesKungjklol]

I saw this vehicle on tiktok!

So many customers complained about the track pad. So Lexus fixed them by getting rid of track pad AND the V6 engine.

[@paul7328]

GV80. Genesis > Lexus. Would love to see you two review one once you get the chance

[@andreaspencer9813]

Yes us too! Just waiting on the vehicle. Thanks for watching!

[@10tenman10]

I think heads up display is more important than wireless charging pad

[@jsfbay1]

Agreed - unless Lexus has wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, what's the point of a wireless charger if you have to plug it in anyway?

[@nineelephants1975]

A ,HUD should be a standard safety feature on all cars. Forget the cordless charger.

[@jsfbay1]

sanju2 - I agree; in principle. But given how compromised the cabin of a car is (noise, shape of interior, etc), I doubt you’re gonna hear much difference, except when parked. I use AirPlay2 inside (not BT) so I generally agree. Thanks for pointing that out.

[@peternelson8861]

Team Andrea !

[@andreaspencer9813]

Thanks for watching and for the support! :)

[@edweagle]

I'm kind of confused why you gave Genesis so much hell for the price of the 7 passenger version of GV80 when this car needs the L version starting at 66k and you just shrug it off as it's just there if you want it...

[@edweagle]

Although I admit in general the GV80 pricing is a bit crazy

[@michaela.5363]

Good daily driver to go to starbucks and costco

[@jsfbay1]

I was stunned when I went to a Lexus dealer to look at the RX and the driver's seat didn't have 4-way lumbar. I asked if any version/trim level of the RX had it, and the salesman said no. If this is true, all I can say is, "Seriously? In a $75k vehicle?" Due to back pain, 4-way lumbar is a requirement. And I had my heart set on the RX. Please, someone tell me that the salesman was wrong!!!!

[@deviouslaw]

So did you actually find the seat uncomfortable?

[@GuuiYae]

none of the Rx has 4 ways lumbar support. I'm pretty upset with this too as I went to test drive BMW X3, X5, X7 oh my god they are gorgeous cars, but only for gorgeous, reliability is still in question.

[@jsfbay1]

Davis Lawrence - I wouldn’t know until I drove the car for a couple of hours. So unless they wanted to loan me the car for that long of a period of time, I can’t take the risk. Plus I have to sit on a cushion which raises my back further up the back of the seat so most standard lumbar Air bladders hit way too low on my back.

[@azaz911c]

In my area, it seems this RX is EVERYWHERE, and it seems 9/10 of them are pearl white. It must be a great vehicle, a good value, or the best choice for those wary of buying German brands. However, I would never buy one myself: I have never liked the big grill styling, and would prefer something more unique.

[@Motormouth...]

[@zylo999]

Yo looks like Skyler got a new hubby after leaving Walt.

[@m4st3rm1nd9]

Things I hate about the RX. 1. It has less interior space and cargo space than Highlander. 2. Third row seat in RX is cramped and not useable. 3. There is no digital rear view mirror. Highlander has it. 4. The backup camera quality is appalling . 5. The mouse trackpad is so bad.

[@billwu8581]

Their cars would be selling like hot cakes if they only remodeled their center console completely, yet it looks like it's alot a decade behind with a modern exterior. It just doesn't match

[@greef_karga6402]

[@gaildoss9176]

I like this car but the front looks like Darth Vader

[@mrsj1417]

I like this car BECAUSE the front looks like Darth Vader.

[@amb3cog]

F Sport is the most butt ugly interior I've ever seen. We were trying not to laugh at it in front of the salesmen. It's not a dang sports car! And the seats are so uncomfortable! The only one we would even look at is the regular model. The long one is ridiculous too. And what a pain trying to find a loaded one around me. We're waiting till August for one, and we still couldn't get every option. It's only missing a couple of things, but it's still kind of annoying. We really didn't want to wait any longer, and order one though. Just praying they keep the 0% interest till August.

[@mualan4683]

After taking a look this car at dealership, I noticed missing two features: wireless charging and 360 camera.

[@godfatherNYC]

Both of those features ARE available as options.

[@princegorman2979]

Is lexus better than Toyota

[@asadb1990]

Lexus is pretty much the top trim version of japanese cars.

[@jimwatchyyc]

Consumer Reports does a much better job of reviewing vehicles, they choose basic models and buy them anonymously. Reviewing high end models most people will never buy and that are provided directly by the manufacturer so are highly scrutinized for squeaks, etc does not make for a meaningful review.

I really like this car...until you get in it. That interior is just so OLD and certainly doesn't feel luxurious. If this had a Caddy badge on it, people would universally bash it as being "cheap". I expect more from Lexus.

[@Wilson-sy5ze]

The Grill is a big turnoff for Lexus. It is ugly.

[@kubanskiloewe]

[@dzerres]

I can't get over the big, ugly grills on the whole line-up of the Lexus brand. I'm sure the quality and durability are there but there's no Japanese design these days that has that "wow" factor. Even the Koreans have better looking cars these days.

It’s one of the ugliest cars ever. The whole design team for Lexus/Toyota has been the weakest link for the company for the last 10-15 years... their cars can’t be any more unattractive and ugly...wouldn’t drive them even if they gave them to me for free. Just can’t get over the fugly exteriors.
