The Lexus RX350h Will Make Your Life Better | 2023 Lexus RX350h Review

[@briancaine9130]

Nice review. We just looked at the 2024 today. Your review is very complimentary to what we experienced. Thanks.

[@tb-video-uploads1258]

Finally a fair review from a journalist who took the time to evaluate this vehicle as it should be. I own this model I can confirm that it is very quiet and comfortable, great for highway driving. One annoyance is the lack of a physical button for changing the drive modes - you need at least two clicks on the touch screen. I use this function a lot because in sports mode you have a more precise steering and a better throttle response - usefull when driving outside of the city. It's not the end of the world but a physical button would have been much better. It handles surprisingly well for a car of this size and weight, in the corners is stable and composed due to the increased wheel base, lowered center of gravity and a more rigid body. I also like the safety tech, the curve speed management and the lane centering, which works great and helps a lot when driving long distances.

Thanks so much for the kind words and for the owner insight! I am really with you on the handling, the rx 350 can really handle a turn, it really is the best of both worlds! Thanks so much and have a great week :) -Jake

Yeah my dad has the 2015 RX350 and I’ve driven it before a couple times…I love it

[@kamest]

Quick note about the noisy engine, especially when it’s cold: it mellows out considerably as the car ages. At about 30 000 km mine is now down to a smoother, quieter growl in pretty much every situation, and it stays smooth even when I push it. When it was brand new I was really worried because it sounded nasally and rough, plus, as you mention, the cvt effect kinda decouples how much it’s working versus how much you’re feeling it. But all of that settles a lot over time. Plus, as the driver, we get used to how it behaves.

FYI there at least 4 different packages available for this car. I chose the premium plus with the technology pkg and 21” wheels

[@hi-line8195]

personally a huge fan of firm seats, absolutely abhor a soft collapsing seat like on the Tesla model 3

[@melanieevans4443]

I enjoyed how you went over things in a way that was cool!

[@GasGuzzlers]

Melanie thanks so much it really means a lot :) glad you enjoyed it, welcome to the community! Have a great week -Jake

Fantastic review. If my parents are considering a fully loaded Grand Cherokee, i may throw them this curve ball for consideration against the jeep given the price point.

[@lionintu]

Jeep Grand Cherokee is one of the most unreliable SUVs you can buy

[@ericfan1223]

@@lionintu just bought it. We like it

[@bensanchez9705]

Great and thorough review!!

[@GasGuzzlers]

Sorry for the late reply, just wanted to say thanks for the words of encouragement! They really mean a lot and connecting with people like you makes the hard work worth it! Have a great week :) -Jake

Mines being built ! Can’t wait seats were the tease like you in a sports car !

[@cory5197]

I own this exact car in nebula gray. Beautiful car. Family loves it. Now with that being said. The only downside is the 4cyl engine. I miss the v6

[@troybarboza3106]

As always great review, and even better looking reviewer. 🤭😏

[@zyquaviousbrown2374]

I love the rx I was looking at the rav4 but I might just spend a little bit more on the rx350h

[@jpdoc5722]

anything above RAV4-Hybrid XLE trim is too pricey. 350h is better👍

[@i123456987654]

Omg tire pressure information is so important

[@FemiAdebayo]

Brilliant presentation. Many thanks

[@roborme696]

Those headlights aren't auto highbeams, they are adaptive highbeams so the highbeams remain I n when traffic is approaching, but it cut out the portion of the highbeams aided at the approaching traffic. (At least in the cars sold in Canada). I thought mine were broken and manually turned off the highbeams as I was expecting auto highbeams to go to low beams when cars approached. It took driving in fog for me to see how the headlights were reacting to confirm how they were working.

Have rx 350h 2023 with 8800,km bought it last year August 16h Yesterday, I had a blood test appointment, and my wife frove me . When she started the car it did start We called lexus canada road side assistance The towing men came They tried to charge it ,but it didn't work They towed to london lexus Hopefully tomorrow will hear some good news from the dealer

[@patriciamuller1836]

My 1995 twin turbo Z had four wheel steering Not new

[@akio6505]

What trim is this?

[@GasGuzzlers]

This is a luxury trim, that includes the HUD and special rims :)

[@MikeWalsh-tz9eq]

My 2016 Subaru outback has the feature where you leave the seats heater on and it remembers it when you car back on. Not a unique feature.

[@mervinprone]

Adjustable cup holders aren’t new. They were in the last RX.

[@DD-ds7ui]

uncomfortable seats are a dealbreaker

[@myusrn]

They are not uncomfortable. Super comfortable and not race car design that has you pinched in.

[@gary-sq7oi]

The seats are not uncomfortable

[@theone4042]

I agree they are hard and uncomfortable on all trims EXCEPT LUXURY TRIM

[@i123456987654]

Did Lexus let you borrow this car to test drive it? Did they pay you to do this review? Thanks for showing us the car Jake

[@GasGuzzlers]

Hey i123456987654- Lexus let me borrow this car as a press loan. They did not pay for the review nor did they have input on the script and I made sure to return it filled with gas so I paid for that. Thanks for asking it is important auto journalists be held accountable :)

[@i123456987654]

@@GasGuzzlers oh wow, I can’t believe they didn’t pay you…I feel like they should pay you being an auto journalist and all

[@MikeWalsh-tz9eq]

@@GasGuzzlers I guess if you created a bad review, they wouldn’t lend you cars again, so there is some pressure to give a good review.

[@GasGuzzlers]

@MikeWalsh-tz9eq not at all! Plenty of auto reviewers give bad reviews of press units. I’ve even shown off parts of press units that broke in our videos. I think brands know it doesn’t look good to cut a journalist off because of a bad review. Also their press reps enjoy constructive criticism, they often pass it back to designers and teams to make better products! I hope you have a great week :) -Jake

How old are you?

I am 22, never too young to get into auto journalism!

@@GasGuzzlers wow, that’s inspiring because I’m 25 and I’ve always wanted to get into journalism…my friend’s brother drives a McLaren so now I’m into cars again lol

[@JoshuaDarius-bm7nc]

Your friend's brother sounds like he's completely flushing his life down the toilet, but that's a lot better than having someone else do it for you at an early age.

[@mervinprone]

You drive a fully loaded RX then say it doesn’t have very many features? You probably can’t even afford this car.

[@GasGuzzlers]

I said it doesn’t have that many flashy features, which is true- no crystal shifter, no curved OLED display, no 3d graphics- just a really well built, excellent vehicle. Hope you have a great week :) -Jake

[@steverogers7211]

why you mad? lol

[@JoshuaDarius-bm7nc]

People like me who have been chewed up and spit out like government monsters targeting my family my entire life, tend to not get mad about things like luxury cars but the people who are guilty on the other hand the people who take advantage of others in the people who squander what they have and find themselves perpetually dysfunctional and constantly coming down with pneumonia for some reason are the ones who tend to get mad. It's funny all the upper middle class are getting sick all the time and all the homeless people have figured out how to keep themselves from freezing to death and dying of pneumonia through experience. There's going to be a very radical class shift in North America very very soon. All the pathetic useless billionaires who can't even figure out how to save a few dollars on brass door hinges for their mansions are going to find every experience from people like me to be a massive education.
