With the LS400 over 30 years ago, Lexus immediately began a legacy of building exceptionally high quality vehicles. Sure, there were some hiccups along the way but the RX, now in its 5th generation, sees Lexus do what they do best.
This all-new RX is without doubt one of the best SUVs in its segment, and its a pity that South Africans often overlook it as it just doesn't sell in big numbers at all. But of course, motorists are spoiled for choice in this segment.
In this video, Ciro De Siena makes a strong case for moving this car up your shopping list if you're currently considering a new premium SUV.

I was never an SUV person, let alone Lexus SUVs, until I drove a Lexus NX 350 F Sport, with a 2.4l turbo engine. The ride quality, the smoothness, the quietness of the cabin and the sense of built quality in the cabin blew me away. I was sold. Lexus has some of the best well-built people moving machines on the planet.

Thanks for the great review. This country needs more Lexus reviews. A bit of a correction: the RX350h uses a 2.5 NA engine, the regular RX350 uses the 2.4 Turbo (without electrical assistance). Nonetheless a great review🙌🏽

The RX350 is NOT naturally aspirated, it has the 2.4T engine producing 205kw, this was a key difference in this new generation. The RX350h model was also neglected here as it offers similar performance to the regular RX350 with less dynamics and more efficiency with the 2.5 na + electric motors setup.

We have had over 6x Lexus in the family, currently still have Rx350 and two NX, unfortunately the newer models are way more expensive than the previous. We had the RX350 EX top spec (there’s only one spec) for R930k brand new back in 2016, now it’s R1.5-R1.7m…. ? Would love to upgrade again, we have had ZERO problems with all our Lexus, but most mileage we had was around 200k km in the nx. Just regular service only. Driving it to the ground. Ride equality is superb. Would not look at another brand. Oh, we had 2x RX350, the one was stolen earlier this year….. who steals Lexus?

Also side note, these RX's are very common in almost every American Movie, Series and Sitcom's that I watch, Americans love these cars and so do I! Also love the Lexus UX as well. Thoroughly enjoyed this review. South African's need to buy more Lexus's now! I really like the attention to safety with the orange reflectors at the side of the headlights as well.

I was under the impression that the Lexus RX was competing with the likes of X3, Macan, GLC etc. and not the larger X5, Cayenne, GLE, just on its visuals. I feel the last two generations look smaller compared to the previous one, so it has not really been an option, but I guess I stand corrected, especially with that seemingly large booth space.

I have been Fortunate to have been Part of Lexus in S.A and Abroad, with Experience at All German Premium Brands - Technical / Workshop. What Sevice Levels, Reliability and Quality are Concerned, the compitition have some Catching up to do, to say the Least. Great Vid

Absolutely stunning vehicle. I actually like it in Rose Gold 😅 If I had that type of money the BMW X3 M40i would be my pick all day every day. BMWs B58 is just a gem and the fact that Toyota uses it in the supra must say something about the reliability. I personally think BMW is the only "premium" brand in 2023 that's somewhat okay in terms of their pricing and what they offer. But for someone that isn't a driving enthusiast and isn't a brand snob I would just recommend a Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max 😂

@Ilikepie18855 6 ай бұрын
Our family has the T8 xc 90 and the previous 2016 RX350. Volvo is ultra unreliable, ride quality is far from rx350 even though it has air suspension. Averaging around 8l/100km for Volvo fully charged when leaving home, the Lexus is at 10.8L/100km, but it’s the 3.5L V6. I have a feeling the newer RX will be better in fuel consumption, a lot better. We have two xc90, a D5 and a T8. Warranty paid over R250k in repairs for the D5, and the T8 has a ton of engine codes right now, I’m too scared to go get a quote. All serviced at volvo and Lexus. If you want to keep your car long, Lexus is the way. Cheaper to maintain too, minor service at R2000 vs xc90 D5 R16000 per basic service, R6000 just for oil change only. But then again, it’s Volvo franchise costing, I’m sure Indie are cheaper.

You’ve made out a convinvcing case of considering this SUV. After my previous Lexus I have nearly decided “never again”. But I know the brand is improving. But the boot space was a deal breaker in the older RX’s, and the dullness and that nervous toggle stick. And it lacks the biggest safety factor in South Africa and that is reliable tires for B and gravel roads as in SA I also travel those type of roads. And I am very much for value for money, and is this value for money? And that is maybe the reasons you are looking for why they are not selling. And I’ve had experience of very bad service but will buy at another dealer.

To me the RX is well built but does not use better materials compared to Porsche and competitors as you speak of. For context, I own a 17 Cayenne GTS and a '16 911 4s and I purchased a 500H for my wife since she wanted one. No leather dash, leather upper door card inserts, no metal anywhere, and plastic inserts everywhere puts the RX well below a Porsche model in terms of "better materials used". In today's build quality (where all manufacturers can't help themselves to cheap out everywhere), I would say the RX does pretty well. But, if you were to compare this to previous gen RX, IS, and GX models I would say this is pretty meh. Getting squeaks out of the central cubby and the alcantara/suede insert on the dash isn't firmly in place. I took it to the service department and I was literally told "this is just the build quality on these cars now, had a ton of customers have the same complaints and there's literally nothing we can do".

@@Ilikepie18855 No it isn't. A 4 cylinder in such a large car isn't more fuel efficient than a well sorted 6 cylinder.

@@SDav21 we have the previous RX350 with 290hp and 3.5L V6. Very smooth engine, quiet, responsive, ultra reliable. In the 7 years we had it , zero warranty claim, zero repairs, zero problem. Hell, even the original Panasonic car battery is still working…. 7 years… going into 8…. Why don’t they sell Panasonic car batteries here? The only down side of this car is the fuel economy, while it’s not any worse than its rivals, we average 10-11L/100km mostly free way driving…. If the newer model can go down to 8-9L/100km even with a 4 cylinder with higher torque…. I’m happy. Either way, I’m sticking with Lexus, it’s nice to not spend big bucks in repairs while cruising in comfort.

youll never seperate south africans and german cars unless you become so cheap its hard to overlook. if this was in the range of 1-1,2mill then it would sell like hot cakes then when they facelift it they gradually raise the prices year on year or, "model after model"

Jaguar once did that with the first Gen XF . The car was a success, but when they priced the second gen at the same price it failed dismally.

Then the same should be said about the Range Rover Evoque. It’s nothing but a Ford Focus. The previous Volvo S60 was sitting on a Mazda 3 platform. Get under a Lamborghini or a Porsche and see how many parts are from Volkswagen. It’s just the way it is now.

Have to disagree. I was blown away by the quality of the RX. I currently have 2 x BMW's and was previously an Audi driver. Went to look at a new Q5 and GLC. Audi felt like I was sitting on the seat and not in the seat and GLC was all bling and too much plastic. RX just felt right and I am really fussy when it comes to the quality of the materials used. I know most folk will go for the 350h but I think the base 350 may just be a bit more agile given its lighter body weight - but obviously a compromise on efficiency. I like the few "party tricks" the RX has like the electronic door handles and the electronic self setting steering wheel/seat combo and electric rear seats. Very nice!!
