Great review. Thank you for making this video.

[@CarDietrich]

Thank you for watching!

Great review, and thank you for taking the time to measure the cargo room both in the back, and in the various seats…WELL DONE!!!!

[@CarDietrich]

Thank you for watching :)

Excellent review, such a solid vehicle. We just purchased our 2023 premium plus last week and didn't know what we were missing until driving this car. It's quiet mannerisms will have you driving 80-90 before you know it because you don't hear it. The negative comments about the 4 cylinder...we weren't concerned with that. Smaller and more efficient turbo motors are coming into play for the luxury vehicles. The inside package of the newly redesigned RX is so impressive. It creates an impressive ambience. The 14" monitor is intimidating at first, but very intuitive once you understand the menus and work through them. We love the driving experience!

Meet and greet, invoice, in and out Amazing video as always!

[@CarDietrich]

You know how to do it sir!

[@petergazarek9466]

Perfect Car 😎👍🏻

[@kelvinlowe2245]

I just bought the Nebula gray RX and I am totally satisfied with my purchase

[@mrbabyears]

I want this vehicle. Also what is the name of that measuring device. That looks useful.

[@ibitaRaptor]

Nice so the none hud display trim has a normal cruise control buttons.

[@TheFernandesWay]

I’ve had this car for 2 months. Love it.

[@rebeccacastro9586]

I love it too! Trying to decide on copper crest / black int or iridium / pepper corn interior.

@@rebeccacastro9586 i have the nebula gray and saddle interior (maybe called something else). It’s just a beautifully understated combo. I think you can’t go wrong with any color. Seats are so comfy, smooth ride and just overall luxury. Good luck! Tell me what you get.

[@zemo2332]

How is your fuel economy so far?

[@burtcollier402]

Does it require premium gas?

[@patriciakolenut1495]

thank you for the video. how do you turn on the backup sensors-- so it beeps when your getting to close to something

[@CarDietrich]

Go into the little car icon menu, then Driving Assist, then look for Intuitive Parking Assist and make sure that setting is on

[@atnurtech8176]

This man make the car a cat box 📦

[@user-eb3em4ig2j]

Wow!!!

[@TLAfamilies23]

So can you add Panoramic View option even with the base , premium model or only with Premium + model ?

[@CarDietrich]

You can order the Panoramic View Monitor on a Premium or a Premium + but not a base model

[@CaptainMarvel007]

Just placed an order for a 2023 RX Premium+ AWD, and tried to add the panoramic glass roof and the panoramic view camera, and multiple dealership in my state and and neither state said that was very difficult to get Lexus with these options. The only way to get these would be to purchase the Luxury trim. Very disappointed, as this was our first Lexus buying experience.

[@toxin08x41]

Do you think there is a significant difference between the FWD and AWD of the RX350? Is there a noticeable improvement in handling and acceleration? My city rarely gets snow, so is it still necessary to get the AWD version?

[@CarDietrich]

I haven't driven the AWD version of the new RX, just the FWD model. I wouldn't say it's necessary to get AWD, but it's your car so it's your call. Here's my question to you: is your current car AWD? If it's not, and you've gotten a long just fine, then don't bother spending the extra money on it

[@toxin08x41]

@@CarDietrich Thank so much for your reply! My current car is 528i f10 RWD. Dealer told me that there is no base model with AWD in South US so I have to add 5k for AWD with premium package 😂

[@CarDietrich]

Yeah if you've been getting along fine with a Rear Drive 5-Series, you'll do fine in an FWD RX. I'd base your decision on other factors (features, color, pricing, etc) unless you have decided that you HAVE TO HAVE AWD in your next car.

[@mervinprone]

I can’t believe Lexus even allow such an ostentatious colour combination. Orange exterior, orange interior. Ready for Halloween!

[@TracciQuartermaine-rv8sx]

What type of suspension ?

[@CarDietrich]

All independent, MacPherson struts in the front and multi-link rear

[@tanyabee2024]

Does the driver seat go back when exiting the car?

[@CarDietrich]

Honestly I didn't notice if it did or not, I am a tall fellow so I usually have my seat all the way back anyway

[@tanyabee2024]

@Dietrich's Car Channel thank you for the reply. Most luxury cars have that feature and was just wondering if the RX had it.

[@anthonettef1908]

My 2022 RX does move back

[@biblegirl2980]

Unleaded gas with the V6 engine Premium (much more expensive gas) with the 4 cylinder 🧐

[@sunshinewalker6074]

Question number 1 when you get to the dealer is: Can you provide 2 keys at time of purchase? If not, walk away! Due to a chip shortage, Lexus cannot provide 2keys on RX 350. You must wait a couple MONTHS to be provided the second key. Dealing with that process is not fun. Super annoying as the dealers have no clue.or don't care. Do not buy with only 1 Key. You will hate the trouble it will put you through.

[@CarDietrich]

I have heard of this from other people, and I think its weird that Lexus/Toyota are the only manufacturer that seems to be having a problem with this right now. I leased a new Acura in January of 2023 and got two keys the day I took it home.

[@SueUTube]

I would prefer the grill be all black, not split with the car's copper color.

[@NoodlesExtraMSG]

Can't wait till these hit busy cities with heavy foot traffic. Gonna see bunch of fender benders blocking traffic because the car won't finish the turn because it "thinks" pedestrian or a bicycle is too close.

[@markhilsen2700]

Not likely

[@pang-ngiavang1956]

Do you work for Lexus? hmmmmmmmmm

[@CarDietrich]

I do not
