One big advantage is service. You can get service done at a Toyota dealer. Cost is cheaper and there are Toyota dealers everywhere. The RX is a luxury car without the long term luxury car tax.

[@davidashurov5255]

If the cost to own a luxry car is someonez main deterrent then they still arent on the financial bracket to own it. Just because someone can lease a luxury car they also need to plan ahead for the long term for owning it(i say lease because lexus wants you to lease these memes).

I think that is the biggest waste of money anyone could buy is a Lexus SUV. For many years other car manufacturers came out with Apple car play and Android Auto, but I until recently Toyota barely came out with it. Then most of their Lexus suvs are front wheel drive with very little power but a turbo. Look at a Lincoln Navigator...it can tow more than 8,000 pounds, has AWD and seat 7 people as it is the most luxurious SUV Ford has ever made to date. Then the Cadillac XT5 that has 310HP standard, built in WiFi, Onstar, AWD, and much more. I don't like Asian luxury suvs because they don't serve no purpose and can do very little. American suvs are packed with a lot of real things like the Navigator that can tow a boat plus more when going on a trip to a lake. My neighbor has a Lexus SUV and I have a 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander GT. I know there is not much to compare, but mine cost $34,000 and it has AWD with 4 different driving modes, 3 rows of seats, and can really handle going off road and have more functional use. At the end a vehicle no matter what the price tag is, is purely a transportation vehicle..like when people bought horses back then...that's it's only purpose and to spend money on a SUV such as this one that can't tow much, can't go off road, mostly in front wheel drive...is a big waste of money

I own a 2017 RX350 and am very pleased with the mechanical operations of the car. The ride is as the video says, quiet ans smooth, no complaints. However, on the electronics side of the equation the car fails miserably. The Lane Keeping feature with steering assist simply does not work. If you leave the steering to that feature is wanders from lane edge to lane edge in ever more abrupt angles until you have to take control. I'd much prefer a Lane Centering feature like on the Nissan cars. Worst of all is the navigation feature. To control the map using the joy-stick is an adventure all in itself. It's like using a computer mouse that is hyper fast. No fun at all. Also, the navigation map is pitiful. I simply can't reconcile a luxury car company putting such a terrible map in their product. If you use the mapping as a guide to upcoming road conditions (turns and such) you will be disappointed. The map has a white background and the road is also the same white. Why??? The road is indicated by broken black lines that quickly fade to nothing a quarter mile in front of you. Try putting a destination address in the map. First you have to put in the City. Then the street number and name all using the hyper fast mouse controller and a keyboard displayed on the screen. No fun. Contrast that with Google Maps where you put in the street number and name and it gives you possible cities. Much more user friendly. Finally, the back up camera works great during the day, but at night when you need all the illumination possible to see obstruction, the screen dims automatically so that obstructions are nearly impossible to see. No way that I could find to eliminate that dimming. Summary, great car with primitive electronics. I also own an Avalon but I will never buy another Lexus or Toyota without Android Auto, which so far they refuse to provide. Why? Anyone's guess, but probably cost. Maybe $5 or $10 per car, who knows?

Antonio Akiki hybrid ones shares same engine and power train and most hybrid cars comes with cvt transmission and Lexus know as luxury vehicles that competes with Mercedes. Also I owned Mercedes c63 before so know luxury cars well and think Lexus leather seats are more comfortable than mercedes but handling and driving dynamics Mercedes better. You should try rolls Royce :)

[@antonioakiki3716]

kerem would love a rolls but i cant afford that😂

[@jerryrn5571]

You didn’t mention the Acura MDX as one of its cross over comparisons. At the same price but more 3 row space in the MDX.

[@Lebowski5000]

Awesome review, Mike! It makes me want an RX350.

I see about a 200 Lexus RX everyday, I saw one Lincoln MKZ once last week.

The Costco in Aventura, FL looks like a Lexus dealership every weekend! I’ve counted 7 RX’s in a row along with every other model.

There are still a lot of RX300 ( made in Japan ) on the road, after almost 20 years in production.

[@bebo2490]

I've owned one, and I had no problems with it. Most reliable car ever

[@rathanaitc]

43000USD in USA, while it costed almost 140000USD in Cambodia. So sad.

[@stanseawa]

You must be compering two different models, trim and options or simply you forgot to convert the money LOL :)

[@krisjohn6977]

@@stanseawa the premium is around 90k overseas

[@samsonokoro5036]

It's the best selling luxury vehicle in the US not just the best selling Lexus. Thought the Rx starts around 45-46k, any way i may be wrong. The price in my opinion isn't one of reasons it sells more than the Germans, any one who can afford 44k can afford 49 or 50k that's just fact. It has a lot more to do with build quality and reliability nothing more nothing less. The Germans all have faster performing cars even at base level yet far more people would rather the RX. The Germans are supreme in Europe though without a doubt, but the RX is gaining ground slowly there.

[@CJ-dx4mq]

Love this car, but they should maybe add more power for example a twin turbo or just a turbo. And like dual exhausts because the front of this car looks very aggressive and sporty. Just a thought.

[@reho7387]

I currently own a 2017 Cadillac XT5, with 15K on the odometer. I liked it when I got the vehicle but electrical and mechanical problems (a distinct clunking sound..from the torque converted to the transmission??) have eroded my feelings for wanting to keep it past the warranty period. That being said, I am now trying real hard to get over my distaste for the grill treatment on the Lexus. Lexus is at the top of a consumers ratings list; Cadillac being near the bottom. Doesn't take too much figurin' to conclude which vehicle to buy as a replacement for the XT5 (which I still like, but just cannot depend on it).

[@YellowRoses10]

I have a Cadillac that has cost me money from mechanical problems and I'm buying a Lexus for my next vehicle to replace the Cadillac.

[@susdeysun5944]

Smooth buttery V6. No car makers can produce a better V6 than Lexus. That is a fact.

[@lorenfok1097]

[@67daltonknox]

I have put a lot of miles on a friend's RX350 and like it, but I think the Highlander is a better buy as it is $10,000 cheaper and mechanically the same. The "luxury" leaves me cold, though I have to admit I like the sound system.

[@danagreen5615]

Just traded in my 2002 Lexus RX for a 2016 Lexus RX. Never had any issues or problems with the 2002 just wanted a newer model with more modern bells and whistles. They are very reliable cars and being a woman I can’t risk being broken down in LA traffic thus why I chose a Lexus. I know a lot of people are turned off by the front grill but I like it. I’ve always like standing out in a crowd and that grill defiantly does the trick. ☺️ If you want boring, unreliable and something that doesn’t have a good resale value then buy something other then a Lexus. But for me I will always be a life long owner of Lexus’s. 🥰

[@jamiemarron5263]

My dream car 😍

[@gabemcguire2463]

I don't like the black lines that connect the rearwindows to the back of the car. I like the uniform design on the NX.

[@hikerhobby1204]

Gabe: Me too! I own a NX, in my opinion the NX looks much better.

[@geekteach1912]

You're in the minority on that point. We LOVE the black panels. Lexus made the lesser NX model for people like you.

[@hikerhobby1204]

Geekteach : Did you pole everyone about your minority comment? I don’t like the black line either.

[@gabemcguire2463]

@@geekteach1912 The NX is not a "lesser model." Different people have different needs which is why many car manufacturers offer SUVs in multiple sizes. Besidse, it isn't like the designers were like,"Hahaha! These stupid plebeians are going to know that they are in a worse car because they don't have these black lines on the back." Both cars are great and targeted at similar but different consumers. No need to insult a perfectly good car just because it looks better.

[@arnoldcampos3397]

sincerely this vehicle is amazing but I don't know who is this kid but he should be working for Lexus Corporation, he is great presentation.

You are “very funny”, and you are very detailed in your video! GREAT VIDEO!!!! Thank you for this video!!!!

[@BRuane-pw6xq]

Just picked up my 9th Lexus , this my 2nd RX. I still have a 2004 ES with 200K mileage. Got my RX this week in Atomic color which I like. Understand the GS will no longer be made ? I had 2 of them, they were great cars . Sporty sedan with power. Lexus tried but could never sell the GS. Lexus makes great vehicles. Service Centers generally good service but expensive. My local mechanic is as good but much cheaper.

[@mygeorge1951]

My sister owns a 2003 RX350. It has over 216,000 miles and the ride is still smooth. I love driving her car. I test drove one over the Thanksgiving holiday but the only reason I didn't purchase it was because of the Headrest. It was quite uncomfortable for me do to a neck injury. If I could change the Headrest, I'd buy the car in a heartbeat!

[@talkingtomgaming1670]

Need help. I’m car hunting and I’m looking into 3 cars the Volvo XC90, Subaru acent, and the Lexus RX 350L. I’m also looking for a reliable car. What do you think? Thanks in advance.

Howdy, Do you have a review for 2019 RX 350L. What is the difference between RX 350 vs RX 350L or just seats. How much does it cost? I'm interested. I'm torn between Highlander and Lexus, please advise.

[@supermarioxs1]

Also the nicest looking too . I’d take the RX over any other suv or crossover vehicle … Referring to the newest version from 2018 and up!

[@mschiffel1]

A couple of very important questions...Will the RX run on 87 octane regular gas, and does it have a spare tire?...In my area the difference between premium gas and regular gas is about 75-80 cents per gallon...That's quite a bit every time you need to fill it up.

[@timwynn007]

m schiffel: Yes to both questions. That’s one one of the reasons why we bought a 2018 RXL instead of a Acura MDX.

[@davidashurov5255]

Dad passed this over for a 2018 gt durango just an option shy of loaded and got it for a steal(dodges calculated lease with 11% down is 600$ we got it for 430 no down), now yes the durango is alot bigger so we can discount that but the RXL(starts round 50k$) has more 3rd row space than the Gx with third row which is hilarious. The Rx has a reliance on packages which makes cutting a deal harder(before you add packages the lease sounds attractive then the moment it hits the papers you forget it) not to mention order times.

[@2Pish]

What about ES350s? Do they get the same love/sales?
