I firmly believe that one of the hardest things to do in life is make a video about the RX interesting to watch. The media embargo concerning the RX must have expired today as my KZbin dashboard was (to my dismay) flooded with boring shots of a real snoozer of a car. Just about lost it and gave up on KZbin for the day, but you guys brought me back to my center and made it possible for me to get through without having to watch another RX video. Thank you for your service.

The T24a engine is actually quite reliable. It is simply an A25A engine that has thicker cylinder walls, better cooling, and old school variable valve timing. Its actually MORE old school than the 2.5NA A25A engine. So this engine will last. Just because it has a turbo doesn't mean it will break, its just that germans suck at making reliable turbo cars (late alone the korean makers).
@johnstone7697

More horsepower through 2 less cylinders, a turbo spinning at hundreds of thousands of RPM, a bunch of additional plumbing, electronic controls etc......Toyota has had legendary reliability, but that reputation was largely built on old school, normally aspirated, relatively low hp per cc designs. There's no guarantees, with all this fancy stuff hanging off the motor, and the turbos will likely die long before the engine does.
@KZ-se4ik
@KZ-se4ik 2 жыл бұрын
When you look at the torque output of this engine, the peak cylinder pressures are probably 50% higher than what the old V6 experienced. On top of that they've got to be extra careful about detonation issues, and the turbocharger itself is a major wear item. While I'm sure Toyota has done a ton of long term durability testing, all things being equal, the old NA V6 would probably look better after 10-15 years, if that's your thing.

4:36 YIKES. The amount of bezel on that lower infotainment trim is astonishingly insulting. If I got into any car with a center screen that looked like that I'd dismiss it immediately. Touchscreens are wildly inferior to rotary knob style interfaces. 2018 Audi MMI and the like were the peak of human-machine interaction in cars, but now automakers forego spending money on designing a good looking dashboard with quality hardware and just slap the customer in the face with a Fisher Price Etch A Sketch. Easily the worst trend in car design right now. Toyota and Lexus are the worst offenders, besides Kia/Hyundai for the comically terrible bezels, but every automaker should take their touchscreens and shove them. After being in several cars with them I can tell you it is so distracting to operate while driving that I don't know how it makes DOT approval. Much more unsafe than using a smartphone. God I hate the general direction the auto industry is moving these days. Automakers these days be like: Put a heavy, useless and dirty-to-make EV battery cell and an etch a sketch dashboard in a car, price it at $80,000 because we're cash-strapped and have to compete with dumbass shit like the Mustang Mach E and call it a day.

the hybrid system does take a lot of strain off the 4 cylinder used in the 350h, so reliability I don't think will be that much of an issue, but certainly it will sound like crap and not be as smooth or refined feeling in such a big car compared to the outgoing V6 models. I personally think they should have tried to improve the efficiency of the V6 and mated it to the improved hybrid system, best of both worlds, but Lexus now are seriously cost cutting in my opinion and trying to claw back for all the new R&D. I mean charging more for a 4 cylinder hybrid is a bit of a joke quite frankly...

I’m sorry but people who trash this refresh and say that this is a rebranded Toyota need to understand a number of things. 1) It’s not just about looks but also ride quality. This car drives far better than a Toyota like the Venza. It has more personality, quieter, and speaks to you. 2) The engine has more horsepower than any of the Toyota products while giving you A LOT of fuel economy unlike its competitors in this segment. 3) Lexus has a 55% resale value after 5 years due to its engine reliability unlike the Germans who lose so much value just right after you drive out of the dealer. 4) What more do you expect from a car though? To be like the Batmobile? To have Iron Man’s suit capability?

2:08 That is the first time I remember seeing that effect outside of video games, which is really sad, considering in this video it does not break immersion, while it does in every video game. (keyword Verschlimmbesserung.) 3:25 Interesting choice: Either eyes straight on the road during a crawl all the time or hands off the wheel and/or eyes off - basically FULL FREEDOM - in unassisted mode. 5:36 Lex - the dark zone. (I like black calipers.) 7:24 So they are targeting a super-niche market. 😏 (A creative visionary would be someone who thinks lens dirt/flaring in a first person video game is stupid. ... Oh wait, no, I think those are called terrorists now.) 8:27 Every time you say that brand name now I am thinking of the "Honda e".

Lose the spelled out Lexus on rear door to start . Looks smaller than 22 model . No V6 for 60K + ? Driven turbo 4 in ES line , Its unrefined compared to BMW . Though its better than Acura’s turbo 4 . Most of buttons are gone, you will have to operate systems by clicking through screens. I don’t care for new RX so I bought the V6 powered 2022 model . Time will tell if Lexus will sell as many as they did with out going model. JMOP

I think those v6 models will hold their value better at least compared to these first year 4 bangers. And time will tell how reliable those are. My guess, less reliable than the v6 by nature of slapping on another part that can break.

A Lexus to me is a naturally aspirated petrol engine (4/6 cylinder either) plus a e-cvt.. that’s the core of Lexus reliability.

We have a 22 rx with the v6. I’m totally confused by what Toyota is s doing going to a 4 cylinder with turbos. I get almost 30mpg in our car going 74 mph on the interstate. What is the benefit of going to a turbo 4? I am a firm believer that a turbo 4 is gonna have mechanical issues that a V6 will never have.

Two points. The first is fuel economy in the real world doesn’t matter. It’s all about the EPA and meeting CAFE and emissions. The V6 was getting old and couldn’t meet the emission target. 2nd the turbo 4 is going to go 150k+ miles all day long.

@@slscamg yeah, I understand that, I guess it how much pollution is produced by the engine too? Even though I get about the same as the new one is rated , I’m assuming a turbo would burn more of the gasses up and it would technically be cleaner for the environment? I’m not sold on the longevity of turbo 4 cylinders. I know Toyota was one of the first manufacturers to use them years ago, but they have not been using them much lately and have been late to adopt them again. Toyotas are known for their reliability, I just hope it stays that way!
