BMW X5 BIGGEST FAN TRIES THE LEXUS RX!!!!

[@leasingdotcom]

SURVEY TIME: IF YOU HAVE A LEXUS WHY DID YOU CHOOSE IT OVER BMW MERCEDES AUDI?

[@brunonero123]

Reliability and maintenance cost in the long run.

[@nicolascounio9906]

Reliability, fuel efficiency, HEV/PHEV experimented motorist, trunk space (PHEV) and leasing rate in France (NX 450H+ vs. GLC 300e vs. X3 30e

[@MH-fb5kr]

Real value… reliability and comfort… we have a 2009 RX450h and are still smiling.

[@iTheShirt]

Repair cost and steering wheel was soft.

[@davidgelling7916]

Reliability, comfort and quality

[@MrDucatiV4]

I own a automotive repair shop in Texas for about 30 years. Every few days my shop would get either a bmw, Audi, Mercedes, or American brand car come in for repairs. We'd get about one Lexus every month come in for oil changes. These Lexus will outlast their German competitor by many generations. Majority of the cars at my shop for repairs are German/American vehicles. I always recommend Lexus SUV to customers for a reliable luxury vehicle.

[@JC130676]

2:38 Lexus uses a different standard (the German VDA) to measure boot space. Most competitors will measure as if you're pouring a liquid into it, i.e. every nook and cranny is filled. The VDA method instead measures how many 200x50x100mm blocks (which is exactly one liter of volume) you can fit in. The blocks are not flexible so not every little corner can be used. As a result the Lexus figure for boot space is lower than the competitors but it's a much more realistic representation of how much you can fit in. Lexus doesn't play the "my number is higher than your number" game, they build cars you can actually use and you can rely on.

[@1Bob.Sacamano]

Great info thank you

[@WEI-lu4io]

Agree, and Rx is the only one SUV can liad flat 4 golf club sets without stacking (Compare to X5, GLE and Cayenne)

[@ReferenceFidelityComponents]

Had one for 6 years. Best car I’ve ever owned. It’s luxury motoring and built better than some megabucks cars and certainly more reliable than most. It hides it’s tech but is one of the most advanced cars on the road, very practical and roomy and super comfortable. I don’t care what others think of it or whether it’s the fastest etc. It’s still surprisingly fast off the mark, very torquey and economical for a two tonne awd 3.5 V6 petrol thanks to hybrid torque. Hybrid isn’t for economy though…this is where most journos get it wrong. It’s fir high torque to boost performance which helps economy, hence the name 450h. Similar pulling power to a 4.5 litre V8 from a 3.5 v6. Possibly one of if not the greatest car ever made fro a dealership network that really cars about customer service and experience. Buy with total confidence, you won’t regret it .

[@saxkMr]

just by curiosity, what did you pick next?

[@ReferenceFidelityComponents]

@saxkmr: I bought a 2021 rx450h fsport Takumi spec. Best of the whole lot. Better handling and even more room and comfort than my RX3, Apple car play (at last), better seats, rears heated, heated steering wheel and front heated/air con seats. Adaptive sports suspension, bladescan led headlamps etc. I tried a new 5th gen model but it was not as well built as 2021/2022 models, and used a buzzy 2.5 IL4 engine which lacked low grunt of 3.5v6. Hate the 5th gen infotainment touch screens. Mine retains buttons and has the widescreen toych screen. Negatives? Satnav is a disaster so I use Apple maps. Rear power tail lift has no manual lift option. That’s it. It will be my last one as I don’t rate later models. They make no sense when an equivalent Toyota or VW can be had for less.

[@barrydraper]

What sets the Lexus apart from the competition is that it will outlast the competition, making it an excellent purchase as well as a lease. Lexus and Toyota don't believe in "planned obsolescence".

[@leasingdotcom]

Interesting - although Mercedes and Audi tend also to be similar in that respect no?

[@kubanskiloewe]

i drove over 20 years Audi but they went worse and worse with every model. My RX450H is now 12 with 311000km on it. AC hose as well as exhaust has a leak now and repair is´nt cheap but imagine that akku after all these years does a nice job offering still the same fuel consumption as ever and passed the Hybrid check again. The V6 is by far the best part of this car and i will never switch to one of these new 4cyl cry babies !

[@mottom2657]

@@leasingdotcom In Europe, people do take care of their cars, and the roads are top-notch, so cars from VW and Benz don't do bad. In the US, people are unkinder to their cars, and roads are worse, plus maintenance costs are exorbitant. All of these leads to bad names for German cars. Toyota makes cars considering that people will abuse their cars. With the German cars, people are expected to follow the rulebook (a tidbit I found on Quora).

We have the RX FSport in our family of cars including X5. The RX is not exactly a drivers car but the most comfy and least stressful to drive. My wife’s favourite and her 3rd RX in a row. Quality product and actually stylish both inside and outside.

[@Shane-zx4ps]

My god dude you have a brilliant way of explaining things, I’m not only saying that because I’ve got a Lexus either 😄. Seriously your reviews are brilliant and concise, funny as well. I am on the same page as you with the Lexus brand.

[@zhaohuibenchen7166]

I just got this RX450h from Canada. It is a 2022 pre owned fully loaded. I didn’t choose 2023. I am sceptical about the L4 engine, and about using touch screen while driving. This is my 4th Lexus.

[@bassicuk1986]

A good honest review of an underated brand in UK. Lexus are amazing. I would be biased as I have an RCF though haha

[@brentonl2631]

This model is my 6th Lexus and arguably the best yet, just so refined with the small things that make the difference. And no I haven't filled the boot yet and we've been on a 2 month holiday up the east coast of Australia. Thanks from Oz and what ever she said at the end! 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@cruisyguy]

Try connecting your iPhone or Android into the USB port in the center console. The two ports there activate CarPlay when plugged in.

[@MrDomestosWC]

In the US and Canada it is considered an upper class "soccer mama" or a "I made it grandma" vehicle. It's typically shown as a non-ballsy, non-screaming vehicle and not for petrolheads. Which is where I come from - I absolutely love everything on wheels and guess what, I recently bought the RX350L. I sold my 2yro ram laramie truck and went to grab one of those. I just wanted to get that "lexus experience" and I have no regrets, I have a tesla model 3 as my daily but I find myself taking the RX on days when I'm really pissed, just to relax. It helps, believe me.

[@banjia22]

Everything said by the reviewer is spot on, I have the Takumi spec bought in December 2020.

[@Shane-zx4ps]

How much?..

[@neog1248]

Good review, as always! I reckon the small cubby at 5:03 is a place to put your phone so that it doesn’t wobble around.

[@JudsonHall]

Went camping a few weeks ago. two coolers, and easy-up, a tent, sleeping bags, camp chairs, food bins, etc. Plenty of room. But not much room for anything else. All that required the back seats to be down.

[@leasingdotcom]

Which car?

[@gwynbartley9176]

Toyota’s commitment to “ if it ain’t broke don’t fix It “ is evidenced by the cruise control button and its location. It’s the same button ( apart from now including active cruise control) and in the same location at 5 pm on the steering wheel as in my 19990 LS 400. Have driven on the continent and the relaxed nature of this car makes many miles easy.

[@trendingreactions8272]

Great video! You made me laugh at the 4:50 mark about the paint exam 😂

[@santillbrezon2161]

I just found your channel and i love it, you are a wonderful car reviewer. I have subscribed.

[@rayaanshaikh5830]

Good review. However, the RX F-Sport has AVS - adaptive variable suspension. Non of the range has air suspension any longer

[@HalalFoodTherapy]

Yes that's what I was confused on. It's not air suspension but it's actually more comfortable than it. I test drove it and so comfortable

[@despabikes]

I absolutely love this review! I am a Lexus RX 350 owner and I’ve sent this to all of my friends just to tease them! I love how you said this that this is the vehicle that comes after you’ve owned a Porsche and just want to calm down and experience pure luxury.

For car play you need to connect via the USB in centre arm rest and the slot is for a mobile phone.

It beeps a lot. Safe. Safe physically. Safe financially. Safe reliability. Sport luxury with luxury priority. I own a 2022 nx 350h. I like the car, but I love cars like the mecan. But with other things going on in life, it’s now a luxury appliance.

[@williamdrijver4141]

Max 4% of the time electric driving, not 42%.

[@constantinepapoutsis6556]

I believe that what he meant to say is that 42% of the time the hybrid system is engaged vs. the ICE engine working. Once you're in motion, say up to 60 k/h (40 miles/h) the battery will keep you moving until the battery is depleted and then begin regenerating by either the gas engine coming on or regenerative braking. It's one of the reasons that hybrid taxis routinely get over 500,000 kms (300,000 miles) because the engine really only works about 58% of the time. Amazing technology. Complex yet simple at the same time.
