Should You Buy A Lexus RX 500h? OWNER'S PERSPECTIVE

[@wanny_prettyfab]

This was probably one of the best car reviews I've ever watched. Thank you for being so thorough, you've gained a new subscriber!!

[@GabrielSedlakOfficial]

SO KIND for you to say, and I really appreciate you sharing that! Such a blessing 🙏🏼 Glad to connect on KZbin!... and thanks for the sub! 🔥

[@KuyaArbee]

as a LEXUS RX500h owner! this car is a MASTERPIECE TO DRIVE! The BRAKES are so easy to modulate! it reminds me of how smooth TESLA Regen braking is! the one pedal driving is nice! now I hope the next gen RX will be full EV! and they update the next gen RZ to compete better

[@GabrielSedlakOfficial]

I agree it is quite incredible and they did a remarkable job making it all feel like one smooth machine with no extremely odd behavior... We were very close to getting the RZ that had the smoke-out-touch sky roof, and all the other features but the range was real-world under 200 miles, and if you put 3,4, or 5 of us in the car, and dropped substantially quicker. I hope they basically marry the RX in the RZ together and create a more powerful battery/longer lasting, that would be pretty perfect. Thanks for watching. I know you love your RX! 🔥

[@KuyaArbee]

@@GabrielSedlakOfficial yea loving it still! such a smooth comfortable and quick ride! it's not punishing at all! and EVERYTHING just WORKS! also the F SPORT SEATS are GREAT! people who complain are ones who don't know about BREAK-IN period of the seats. Lexus Ergonomics are the BEST And no wonder the RX is still LEXUS TOP TIER seller through and through!

[@wj2791]

Great video. I test drove the RX350H yesterday but after reviewing you video, RX500H F Sport is on top of my list when the time comes. Thank you,

[@GabrielSedlakOfficial]

You're so welcome! Totally go and drive one! You'll be surprised, it is definitely more EXACT than other RX models 👊💥😎 Not as cushy as the luxury, but awesome for sure! Thanks for watching 👍

We just bought one in which it is currently being made. Im so excited going from a 2011 Lexus RX 350 to the 500H Sport. Lexus makes the best vehicles.

Great video, I just bought this car and you helped a lot. I am committed not to miss cool featrues. I owned a Lexus 430 LS and drove if 15 years, then gave it to my son-in-law. He showed me tech on that old car that I never figured out! I am not missing this time, thanks to you!

Ive got the 2023 RX500h f Sport ... and after 10 months of ownership, I have very few issues.. only thing I dont like, the mark levinson speakers are very bright.. had to turn the treble and mid to zero and it stil makes my ears ring even at lower volumes... One other thing, the bottom rocker panel normally part of the car is now part of the door, so when it gets dirty even a high pressure car wash doesnt clean it.... I like everything else, very nice to drive, smooth, quiet, refined, quality soft touch materials... Its great. Good fuel mileage, and lots of pep when you give it..... I have iridium silver with red interior.... I came out of a 2021 E53 amg, and I had no issues with my trade - its easily as nice overall, except the Merc maybe had some more options.. Options I never used anyway..

[@GabrielSedlakOfficial]

LOVE the silver and red, GREAT combo! I better get out the road degreaser, you're right! 😵‍💫 Yeah, we have had to tweak the sound system setting too... Familiar with the E and it's wild how different those two vehicles feel.... There is something very appealing about the effortlessness of the RX and the ease of parking 😁 Do you think you'll stick with the RX or go back to Mercedes? We have had a bunch of each brand and they are both excellent in their own right?

[@twfinc6855]

@@GabrielSedlakOfficial the 4 wheel steering is great ! so easy to turn in....... Im loving this car, I dont think I will ever need anything else.. its perfect for my wife and I to scoot around in. great in town, great on the highway.. its not a sports car, its not meant to be so comments about handling are irrelevant.. its not meant to handle like a 911..... It handles perfectly for what it is.. My E53 hit bumps so hard I thought I was going to ruin my rims, the RX is perfect in my opinion..

[@gosman949]

that is troublesome about the Mark Levinson speakers. I'm wanting to spend the extra money for them and having a hard time finding the 500s, and 350s that have them. Maybe I should just go with the regular speakers?

[@nurullah5845]

I have a 2017 RX450h F sport V6, I was going to up date to RX500h but when I learned it was coming out in only 4cly engine I changed my mind. If Lexus have the V6 as an option I would buy one today but they don't, so I will be waiting for a decent full electric car with a long distance battery. Great video shame about the V6 been discontinued, lost to Lexus they are losing customers over their silly decisions. If I can afford to buy Lexus, I am not worried about fuel consumption that is the least of my worries.

[@stephentaylor8396]

Very thorough review, thank you for making the time to share! I want a good road trip highway cruiser, and like the TX.

[@pilroberts6185]

Happy owner of a 2022 RX450h Fsport/Handling Package here. I love it but admit I'm intrigued by the power of the 2024. Who knows, if the 4 cylinder-turbo proves as reliable as the time tested V6, perhaps I'll upgrade in a couple of years. It's funny, you said nothing bothers you and then the car beeped at you for momentarily looking away. Got to admit, that would bother me. Lol... Im not buying one for my kids... can barely afford one for myself (but it was worth it).

[@GabrielSedlakOfficial]

The 450H is AWESOME!! Agree the new engine will have to be proven...They keep adding it to other models like the new TX, so Lexus seems to be convinced it's the answer. Yeah, the "look away" feature is a bit crazy...I need to see if I can quiet it up in the settings, but I don't think about it much anymore, just used to the prompt and make the adjustments subconsciously....maybe that was their intention?? My son is a pretty cool kid and actually more self-controlled and responsible than any adult I know...so I wanted him to have something awesome, may trade it for something else, but for now, he's a happy guy! Appreciate the comment and thanks for watching 👍

the new Rxs get lots of complaints about the beeps and warnings they give you. I just want to drive from point A to point B without any disturbance!

[@johnablettbooth5691]

Coming from a Lexus LC 500 I should have been disappointed with the RX500h f sport but I’m not. It doesn’t corner like an LC but everything else is spot on. It’s quick it’s comfortable, corners well in sport mode, has fantastic tech and is beautifully made.

[@GabrielSedlakOfficial]

Hey I had an 18' LC 500 as well mine had the carbon top with the spoiler that deployed and the rear steering. It's still one of my all-time favorite cars..... I never should've sold it a few years back. Agree this RX 500 is pretty amazing and so easy to use. I'm seriously considering getting another LC down the road this time likely the convertible my wife and I want an "us" car for date nights.

Nice and well done video. I have the exact same vehicle. Same color exterior and interior with all the same option. I love everything about it except 2 things. The Mark Levinson system. I love ML in other Lexus but in the RX is just not very good. Also, I wish Lexus would have the "walk-away-lock".Those are the only 2 things I do not like about this car. Please let me know if you're agree.

[@GabrielSedlakOfficial]

Perfectly said! YES I totally agree..... The ML is great but there are MUCH better experiences in the LX and LS for sure! And the lack of sound in the locks are always a bit odd. Having had G wagons.... it has set a high bar that's almost impossible to beat, bad comparison I know but I SURE DO miss the lock sound! Lexus could up it just a bit. Other than that, HARD TO BEAT the RX! Thanks for the comment and for watching 👍

[@sueddo2634]

Great video, own one myself in black. The only two issues that annoy me are the lack of auditory feedback for lock/unlock and the ambient lighting. Because they swapped over to an electronic door latch system you can't hear when the door is locked or unlocked and I had my wife/kids, and friends get pretty annoyed thinking that I didn't unlock the doors after they pressed it the first time. And, without any auditory feedback on some of the switches, I now have to look at the buttons to make sure I pressed them correctly where as in previous generations as long as I heard a beep or click I knew I hit the right button. Regarding the ambient lighting, I get that they muted it down but I wish they still gave the option to crank the brightness up considering the high cost to install the lighting in the first place. Maybe i'm blind but in the summer I can't even see the ambient lighting and the rest of the season I would have to be driving in the pitch black to notice it.

[@GabrielSedlakOfficial]

LOVE it in Black! I need to see if there is a setting somewhere that can change it from the electric beep to an actual horn or another setting I think I had it set in our LX's over the years... Agree about the door lack of sound. One thing that the G-wagon had down that other manufacturers should add a bit of is that audible lock sound that assures whats happening... you can hear it 50 feet away 😁 I go like analog feedback for sure ( classic). Also agree that the ambient should ba adjustable. It's sure a great feel good feature! Almost got the Dark red interior, but my wife wasn't a fan. Appreciate you detailed comments! Thanks for watching 👍

Excellent review. Subscriber now. 👍🏻. Couple of questions come to mind before I test drive this. First, has this model been affected at all w all the e fine issue la Toyota has been having re the new tacomas? Metal frags in engine block. I think this is same engine no? How are the tires? I live in northeast so snow weather plays a part. I’m all for high performance tires on a fancy car I get it but how are these tires in the snow and realistically how’s the wear? Are these expensive tires to replace? I know not every car is perfect, but I’m also going to be looking at the BMW X5 in comparison. I’m really looking for what car is built. The best makes the most sense for me has long-term reliability and holds its value which I know for fact, the BMW depreciates Significantly the moment you drive it off the lot, but BMW has always been a much more fun car to drive however, however this car may take that away Great review again.

Yes, they are very comfortable for sure, but they are definitely more performance-oriented, they hold you in the seat. The RX 350 is more daily soft. I would like it if they mixed the SOFT of the 350 with the PERFORMANCE of the 500 seats, then it would be a 10... it's a 7.5 for the 500 and a 9 for the 350.

It just naturally gets quiet when it needs to and the electric takes over, normally where the engine is always starting from red lights or stop signs it's a far smoother process than on other vehicles, I can't stand the feeling of other cars when it does it.

Do the F Sport seats have a massage function? If they have is it good?

[@GabrielSedlakOfficial]

No, it doesn't have massaging seats. That would be a great thing I think because of the aggressive nature of them they just didn't fit it within it. The luxury version of the 350 was more likely to have that work. The only Lexus I know of that has massaging seats is the LS I even had several LX's over the years and they did not have massaging seats either.

[@boyantrifonov]

@ No massage seats on $100 000 car is a deal breaker in my opinion. Lexus is competing with the German Luxury brands and it is indeed a great alternative. I personally love the exterior design and the mechanical reliability. But Lexus RX is a comfort oriented option as an SUV. And it is their top of the line SUV. Not having massaging seats is a significant omission and not really logical. And I am not saying this to make you feel bad. Since you buy so many Lexus vehicles they will listen to feedback from you.

[@SanDiegoHun]

The HUD is NOT faint, your sunglasses are most likely polarized, and that gives you that result. It's not Lexus, you would not see any other brand's HUD with polarized glasses. Don't knock something until you have all the facts. Also you can adjust the HUD brightness in Setting on the main scree.

The gasoline engine is shut off.  During normal driving, the vehicle is powered mainly by the gasoline engine. The gasoline engine also powers the generator to recharge the battery pack and to drive the motor.  During full acceleration, such as climbing a hill, both the gasoline engine, the front electric motor and rear electric motor* power the vehicle.  During deceleration, such as when braking, the vehicle regenerates kinetic energy from the front wheels to produce electricity that recharges the battery pack.  While the vehicle is stopped, the gasoline engine, front electric motor and rear electric motor* are off, however the vehicle remains on and operational.

[@1997inspire]

My major gripe is that instrument cluster.I simply couldn't endure looking at it while around the steering wheel.Very disappointed that Lexus has incorporated it in this new RX and most of their new models.Wouldn't purchase any Lexus with it.

[@mcximus]

I like to have one but it's beyond my paygrade right now.

[@GabrielSedlakOfficial]

You should totally test drive one and put it on your vision board even if you got a preowned one. It’s going to be sought after… The RX is surprisingly fun to drive and comfortable. Thanks so much for watching 👍🏼

[@Youtuberkt]

Does it have steering memory

[@GabrielSedlakOfficial]

Hey, do me a favor I’m not sure I understand. What do you mean steering memory? Are you talking about an auto parking feature or the steering the assists you keeping and on the road while you’re driving?

[@jupitersydney3555]

Seats are too squeezey for larger people

[@GabrielSedlakOfficial]

Agree they are definitely designed to hold you tight... My sons love them 18, & 15 LOL! Thanks for watching 👍

[@SOULEYMANEKANE-my8nk]

My mom likes lexus rx 350 2024 and Nissan muruno.

[@GabrielSedlakOfficial]

They are both wonderful cars!! She has good taste 👍🏼

[@seanh2390]

looks like you like white vehicles :-) Very nice car !

[@GabrielSedlakOfficial]

Appreciate that! .... it does look like white is a pattern for us LOL!! Thanks for watching! 👍

[@PeterGill-h1h]

I have one. I do not like the seatbelts. They do not swivel and are a pain to manage each time. They also feel cheap. Subarus have a much better setup. Very annoying .

[@seanjean06]

He said it was like a sewing machine😂

[@kathie1499]

These is the new Lexus I’ll be getting. Trading my BMW 2011 335i convertible. Only 38k mls on BMW., but I want something bigger for travel. I’m excited to get this new 2025 rx 500h. SOLD SOLD SOLD.❤❤❤

[@GabrielSedlakOfficial]

Congrats, you're going to love it! 🎉

[@DankyDankenstein]

I really don’t need a car, or a government, telling me where to look.

[@mervinprone]

Are you a Lexus dealer? Why did you have so many LXs 😭

[@GabrielSedlakOfficial]

No, I'm not a dealer.... 😵‍💫😁 It's just the 2010 LX 570 was the first nice vehicle we ever bought when we started having some success with our company. Our family got hooked on it, and we just kept on trading them in whenever new updates or body changes occurred because we loved the LX so much. We've traveled extensively across the country in them and all of our children were raised in LX's. We just thought it was time for a change to see how we liked the RX. Great so far! Thanks for watching! 👍

[@barttomaszewski6795]

Never liked Lexus but this one looks really nice but also expensive.

[@GabrielSedlakOfficial]

If you end up going this direction it's a pretty fantastic car. One of the best things about it is how effortless it is to drive it maneuver it and park it. If this one's a little too pricey, the RX 350 luxury is incredible it's not as peppy, but it's more comfortable because the seats are much softer, either way, the RX is a great option. Thanks so much for the comment and thanks for watching👍

[@lindyloulie80]

$80K++ including T&L, plus extended warranty, etc.? Not for a car with a whiney 2.4L 4 cylinder engine. Ridiculous! Put the tried-and-true Lexus/Toyota V6 engine in it, and then I would consider it - IF I felt a need to replace my wonderful 2022 RX450H, which does have that wonderful bullet-proof 6. 😍

[@Talisayin]

You should try driving it first, the 500h destroys the 450h in performance and this body style looks much better

[@10mmglockuserable]

Can you have vented and heat at the same time ? Suggestion Lexus ...no one else has that and it would be awesome

[@GabrielSedlakOfficial]

We tried and couldn't make it happen.... would be a great feature. Thanks for watching 👍

[@martinoberg9247]

What is it with your white cars !?! Lexus has such beautiful colours in their range…….

[@GabrielSedlakOfficial]

I was part of a color theme for our business, which is over now. Excited to explore others! Thanks for watching 👍

[@pm7805]

Seems like the design team ran out of money and hence the design without proper exhausts

[@GabrielSedlakOfficial]

Sometimes, the most simple things are overlooked... 🤪

[@Deepimpactocean]

The one thing that has me scratching my head is how lexus released this new gen rx but failed to address the rear doors that when opened, result in the rear tire being exposed. If you lean into the car or are not careful getting out, you will get tire dressing and/or tire grime all over your pants. One of the biggest engineering flaws i have ever seen.

[@GabrielSedlakOfficial]

Goodness! Yes, I need to check that out... totally makes sense, and definitely way too open to the tire... THANK YOU! and for the comment 👍

[@10mmglockuserable]

Yes its nice but the olny way I could afford 1 is if I won a lotto....thing cost as much as a house

[@GabrielSedlakOfficial]

Agree in a few years every car will be 100K, they keep climbing... this one is 68-72K Thanks for watching 👍

[@ChrisMa-ls1bj]

I have this car but you need to learn a lot before you drive this car. Safety is the first thing you need to learn. Dealership don't tell you all safety.

[@GabrielSedlakOfficial]

Agree It's definitely a car that needs to be learned, not just driven! 🙏🏼

[@planetfabulous5833]

He's yummy - I'm subscribing!

[@johannmartin520]

I miss the roar of the engine

[@GabrielSedlakOfficial]

Nothing like the ROAR!!! 🚀😎... agree!

[@zzzzZZ011]

I love lacroix and I know when I see a lacroix can 😂

[@GabrielSedlakOfficial]

😁🥤 Gotta love it!

[@cvshav]

Great video quality on iPhone

[@GabrielSedlakOfficial]

THANK YOU! 👍

[@stuomsen5094]

I think ambient lighting overboard like in all the Germans looks stupid.

[@GabrielSedlakOfficial]

The ambient lighting can be overboard that’s for sure and when it’s super bright, it actually is distractive…

[@brianklamer3328]

The RX series is now the. Ugliest body ever mated to a lowly 4 banger.

[@RobustArid379]

I like the fascia, looks like a rabbit face with teeth!

[@717daneez9]

It's a decent ride but not MDX ride

[@GabrielSedlakOfficial]

Hey, appreciate that it’s pretty awesome for sure, but hey, I cannot deny that that MDX is fantastic. I think Acura does an incredible job with that vehicle! Thanks for watching.

[@peter27241]

I don’t like the mirror put on the door lock unlikely
