2024 Lexus RX350h Quick Spin and driving impressions

It was a couple days after Christmas and I finally got a chance to get my hands on a 2024 Lexus RX350h. As you all know, I was able to review the Lexus NX350 earlier this year, so it was treat to check out it's big brother, the RX350h. Since, I only had a chance to have it for a few hours, I didn't want to spend too much details on the design, I will link some other good reviews on the RX350h below. Here are some of the general specs of the car: starting MSRP: $50,450. engine:hybrid inline 4 cylinder 2.5L. All wheel drive. MPG:37/34 Horsepower:246 hp@6,000 rpm. Torque:233lb-ft. Overall it was a relaxing drive in the RX350h, it wasn't too stiff like the F-sport version, or too loose. I think with the extra weight of the hybrid batteries, it add a bit more dynamics to the suspension and handling. Best of all it got about 37 mpg on my test run. Definitely, the best mpg you can get in a mid size luxury SUV.

Love the new front grill. Purchased my RX 350 about 4 months ago in Nightfall Mica

[@DannyTaipay]

Good choice! I'm sure you are enjoying your sweet car, and the new Nightfall Mica metallic paint must be super pretty under the sunshine. Thanks for watching. Danny.

[@nancyrgreer]

Great video! Glad we bought one!

[@DannyTaipay]

Thanks for watching. I keep telling my fans and friends, if you want a quality car in 2024, you can't go wrong with a Lexus. Enjoy your sweet ride. Danny.

Well done tutorial!

Thank you for your review and Happy New Year 🎉

[@DannyTaipay]

Thanks for watching. I appreciate your support and comment. Happy new years to you as well, be safe : )

[@philburke1902]

I thought the 2024 switched from Nebula Gray to Cloudburst Gray? Thanks for your video!

[@DannyTaipay]

You are correct Phil. Good catch. Thanks for watching : )

Hi. Does a 2024 lexus RX350H AWD have apple car play and same time android auto in it?

[@DannyTaipay]

Hello Makol31, yes. It comes standard with both. Depending on which type of device you have, you can cater it to your use. Thanks for your comment.

[@ta5777]

Some reviewers have said the 4 cylinder engine can get very loud. Have you experienced that? Thx!

[@DannyTaipay]

Yes, the 2.5 liter 4 cylinder engine will definitely get loud when you punch it. I think it is compensating for being a more economical motor trying to give you the most power it can. Also, being mated to a CVT transmission instead of standard 8-speed, it will also get loud as it is searching for the perfect gear to match engine revs. Thanks for watching. : )

[@ta5777]

@@DannyTaipay Thx. Do you think the reliability may suffer as a result compared to previous generations with the v6? Ex. the engine working too hard and overheating over time resulting in the life of the vehicle diminishing? Would you recommend this vehicle or do you think people should wait to see if Lexus changes the engine?

[@DannyTaipay]

@@ta5777 I have driven the venerable Lexus 3.5 liter V6 for many RX model iterations, and yes, they are super reliable. So I know your concerns. The new 2.4 liter I4 on the new RX350 should be fairly reliable, based on Lexus reputation for quality and reliability. The long term experience with over a year of driving the new 2.4 liter Turbo engine is that it is good and reliable so far. The only update/recall on it is computer updates, nothing mechanically. So I predict, it "should"be a good engine, but only time will tell. Thanks-Danny.

[@markaizawa7876]

I have owned the RX 350H since May 2023, you can here the engine when you punch it, but at cruising speeds it's very quiet.

[@catcait2547]

Is RX 350h quietest inside?

[@DannyTaipay]

Yes, it surprising is. the glass is double-pane and the cabin is insulated nicely from the outside noise. The seal on the doors and trunk is also nice fitted, so it makes for a quiet ride : )

[@stackandroll8267]

Whats up with your suit

[@DannyTaipay]

Good catch stackandroll : ) Trying something new from stylist friend...

[@faradaycool4058]

The low torque...

[@DannyTaipay]

Yep. Low torque due to no turbo on this one. Thanks for watching.

[@kenju3342]

I dislike RX 350 H wireless phone charger Very slow get your phone charged, also it hiding inside the small drawer area, very hard to see what’s going on.

[@DannyTaipay]

Hello and Yes I agree that the phone wireless phone charger in the RX and NX could use some update. It is indeed slow to charge and sometimes, it will slip out of the sweet spot and stop charging all together. I'm sure they will make some improvements in the next iterations. Thanks for watching.

[@paulvon2378]

Hate the new grill. Looks like a Hammerhead shark.

[@DannyTaipay]

Yes. It's one of those things that you like or hate. Some people say it will grow on you..Thanks for watching.

[@paulvon2378]

BUT love the SUV that gets great MPG. I have mine coming in 2 weeks but went with Nightfall Mica@@DannyTaipay

[@DannyTaipay]

@paulvon2378 sweet. 👍😁 hope you enjoy your new ride.

[@lucdo1278]

agreed. I like the NX front more.

[@DannyTaipay]

@@lucdo1278Thanks for watching. Yes, I think the NX has got a more sportier look. It's a great car.
