Here's Why The 2020 Lexus RX is The Top-Selling Luxury Vehicle in America

[@theredline]

We wanted to clarify that the pano roof is optional on the standard length RX but NOT on the RX-L. The Lexus RX is still the same plush and luxurious car it's always been but we seriously think you should pass on the RXL version and just go with the standard size model. Lexus promises the next-generation RX to offer a third row that is actually usable for adults and we can't wait to see what the new one will look like in 2022. Hope you guys also liked the new format of this video! If you do, leave a comment below and we will implement this for future videos! Stay safe everyone!

[@Jerald2251]

Redline Reviews I really liked the new format

[@Unkn0wnAzn]

It would be interesting to see the redesign of the car and see how much the GV80 would affect RX sales since they are up and coming with more tech that buyers want. It would be interesting to see how the RX looks once it moves to the the TNGA platform as well. I hope the RX extends the wheelbase to give more reasonable interior room for second and third row. It’s apparent that the highlander is way more space efficient than the RX L. Maybe we can get hints of how this new platform would be from the NX which should be redesigned before the RX

[@javierduran1390]

In a market where SUVs are on high demand Lexus needs to update the GX and LX.

[@asdfghjqwertyu1858]

The RX-L rear legroom is laughable to say the least. A squeeze for even children.

[@sachemrock]

Sofyan, the new format is fine. Personally, this is not a vehicle I have ever been interested in but as always your review was on point and very professional. Keep up the good work and thanks for all the hard work you put into your reviews!

[@setht.1181]

My reason to buy an RX 350 is reliability and that's it. I wonder why the car makers like Cadillac, BMW and Mercedes still don't get it. Reliabilty is the major factor when we buy a vehicle. It is just my own opinion.

[@alonsogomez959]

You are right, quality is a trademark from Lexus , although would nice if more manufactures would take this approach.

[@CarsandTechInfo]

Reliability is not just a luxury & it's a necessity when you have an SUV that's meant to be a multi-purpose vehicle shared among family members. When you're busy with the other tasks or headaches in your life, reliability is essential to get those tasks done without having to make multiple trips to your dealership's service department or to a mechanic

[@RN-lo6ti]

Here in the south, Lexus is synonymous with "old money." The interior as long as it is plush, and exterior somewhat sporty, will continue to be king. People who buy this vehicle don't care too much about flashy toys like brands such as Mercedes and Audi provide, they care about noise levels and reliability. This is justified by the almost 20 year old blockbuster GX460 and the GS350. Lexus knows it's target American audience and they continue to be brand loyal.

[@clintons285]

I love your comment, I could not have said it better. People who want flashy toys are not who Lexus is marketing the vehicle to.

[@bradcolby3624]

Have had every RX since the 1999 model. The reason I continue to go with Lexus is reliability and Dealer experience. I have NEVER had any issues with any of my Lexus vehicles. In addition have owned GX 460, 3 IS models and a 2019 ES 350 F Sport. I have the 2020 standard length RX. I have peace of mind knowing all of my cars will not have any problems. And yes I have cross shopped all other Luxury brands and still can’t get the same value and resale value of any German or other Japanese car. That’s why it’s still the number one Luxury vehicle in the US. But you are correct, the future of Lexus needs to look very different if it wants to remain at the top. Great review as usual. Just picked the wrong version to review....

[@markymark8665]

Brad Colby We had a 2013 that was leased. Wife drove it. She didn’t like that the backup camera didn’t have any lines or a frame for guidance. When the lease expired, she got a Murano cause it has a 360 camera. It also has a CVT which I hate when I drive it. Wish we would have kept the Lexus, the Murano isn’t in the same league. Lexus dealers experience was top notch and it wasn’t expensive for routine maintenance like the German brands. I’m here cause I’m thinking of a new RX. 🤔

I have never been a Toyota/Lexus fan as they always seemed to be behind the curve when compared to their competitors. But recently I bought my wife a used Lexus NX 300. I thought it was a really dumb move as we could have bought a new Mazda CX-5 for nearly the same money. But after going through the dealer experience (it was a CPO car) and living with the car, I have to say...I'm very impressed. The car is just quality. Switches feel great. Seats are great. Ride is great. Performance is more than adequate. I've probably owned over 30 vehicles in my life and none really gave me the feeling of solid reliability like the Lexus. It seems indestructible. I'd say if you lease a car or trade every two or three years then there are some fancier options that might make you happier. But if you keep a car for 5 to 10 years, I think the Lexus may be the ticket. They seem to focus more on the tried and true than the latest and greatest.

I recently picked up my 2020 RX350, continuing my ownership of RX models since 2004. Clearly, I think that they are superior in design, comfort, quiet, equipment and reliability. The two-row model is quite spacious, with 38 inches of legroom in the second row--easily accommodating 6 foot+ individuals behind front seats positioned for 6 foot+ individuals in the front row. I prefer the controls in the RX (except for that horrible track pad, but it is made obsolete because the screen can now be touch-controlled), especially the traditional shifter as opposed to the ridiculous joy stick or push button shifters adopted by some competitors. Two-row RX models are typically priced from the mid-$50's to $60k, which is quite respectable when compared to European competitors.

I have a feeling they wanted the door to close so softly that they actually made it slightly too difficult to latch. 5:00 this interface operates much more smoothly now, and the touchpad by the armrest is much easier to use than the previous "mouse" style device that I found to be wonky 6:50 you actually CAN get a dual pane sunroof on this vehicle when you basically max it out on options 11:35 this third row is not comfortable (basically not even possible) for adults, but it is completely adequate for kids. That is the purpose of this car 14:20 the trunk is HUGE with the third row down, and still functional with the third row in use 15:30 these tail lights are actually part of the triple beam headlight package - these are NOT standard, and the base tail lights are identical to '16-'19

Stitching? When are we finally going to see real stitching on the exterior body panels?

[@worldwidehappiness]

The whole point of an SUV for me is the higher driving position to see over the traffic ahead, to enjoy the view, and to enter and exit easily. But manufacturers, including Lexus, are reducing heights rather than increasing them.

[@gabevillarreal96]

Lexus has been my favorite brand from a quality durability and reliability standpoint for a long king time. After owning 6 of them since 2004 i can say without question that the models that I purchased from 2004 to 2013 were by far the most solid feeling and sounding. They were the best made. They were all also made in Japan. My current 2019 was made in Kentucky and I immediately noticed a difference in quality solidity and overall workmanship. Its simply not the same. Thus was the first Lexus that I've ever owned that I thought the doors sounded flimsy and cheap when closed especially the front doors. Lots of shake and clatter when slammed shut. My 2013 with 157k on it sounded 5x more solid when I slammed the door shut. It really is something that Lexus should look into as a company as a quality control measure if they truly want to keep the reputation that they have worked so hard and have done such a stellar job at maintaining since 1989! They can do better. I think quality and solidity took a back seat to design/image change and edginess.

[@moloono1]

gabe villarreal It’s hard to teach Americans true Japanese dedication to doing things the right way, with discipline, and kaizen. We’ll see how these Canadian made RX’s go.

[@TC-ps9sd]

I own the 2017 version. I agree with you - for as big as this vehicle is, the interior space is terrible. The CRV has significantly more cargo space, but is smaller overall. I think it's the slanted rear window and the high cargo floor that are the problem.

[@ln5747]

There's no way a CRV has a bigger boot/trunk than an RXL with the third row seats down!

Or you could get a much better vehicle inside and out like the Palisade Ultimate while: - Savings thousands - Getting an up-to-date interior, exterior, and features - Getting a useable 3rd row that will accommodate more than a double amputee - Getting a lot more features Toyota & Lexus are not competitive at all across their entire line up in 2020.

Maxwell it was something Lexus dealers wanted to compete with Acura MDX and other suvs with a third row. But this was an free thought since they only increased the overall length without increasing the wheelbase
