As one of the first-ever luxury crossovers, the #LexusRX has held a reputation for being one of the plushest and most comfortable vehicles money can buy. Now in its fourth-generation, the current #LexusRX350 and #LexusRX450h have been around since 2016, so #Lexus is giving the lineup an extensive overhaul for 2020. Last year, the long-wheelbase #RXL was introduced and while the changes this years are mostly cosmetic, Lexus continues to sell over 110,000 of these SUV's annually in the US.

[@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!

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.

[@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.

[@cowboylemonheadmedia]

Plus, for some of those toys, I feel it’s better to buy them aftermarket instead of paying a premium that will be tacked on to you car note loan (and interest)

Rela Stela heard of buyer remorse? 90% of owners who buy euro cars without warranty to keep LONG TERM have remorse(does not apply to leasers or idiots who dump their pos cars when warranty runs out).

I stated with a 2016 ES350 and now have a 2018 350-L and I absolutely love it. In my opinion the interior is unrivaled. Lexus sticks to a classic luxurious look with updated tech. I appreciate the luxury, the smoothest ride on earth and the reliability of Lexus.

[@leonardchungmusic]

Something to be mentioned is that the RX 450h requires premium gas while the regular RX 350 can run on regular. Might be a cost thing for some people to consider. (Source: I work at Lexus)

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. 🤔

[@maaaarky15]

Dealership experience is underrated and most people that do not own Lexus cars understand

[@ChadHargis]

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.

[@FrederickGFX]

I don’t know about the RXL, but you can definitely get a panoramic roof on the RX.

[@JJustinXu]

FrederickGFX YES DEFINITELY!

💯. I have one on my 2017. And on top of that, the 12 in screen was also already available. They upped it on the Highlander to match the RX...not the inverse.

[@tamiami34]

Living in South Florida, I really did not want the panoramic roof, so I special-ordered my 2019 RX 350, with all the options I wanted, last year. I had to wait almost 5 months for delivery, but it was worth it to me. I wouldn't want any 3rd row seating, personally.

[@robertehlers3757]

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.

[@AFMMarcelD]

As a Lexus driver since 2004 as well I second your sentiment 100% I started with the LS 430 in 04 then switched to the RX 350 starting in 2010 and then a 2015 RX now I'm staying until I croaked with my last year's acquisition the 2022 RX the last of the V6 engine. Over the years I have had many other vehicles, and I can attest that nothing drives and feels as good as a Lexus, the quality and reliability are unmatched.

A few notes from this video specifically: 3:30 the door thunk is still solid, but I have noticed with the '20s that sometimes it likes to "bounce" back out ever so slightly instead of latching. 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

Plus superior quality and resale for $40-60k. A winning combination. If you want more luxury, more features, or more power, you can get that elsewhere, for more money. but you give up things that make the RX the 2nd best-selling luxury car in America to the Tesla Model 3.

I actually like the body style, but would love in a different color. Maybe a charcoal color!

I have a relative in Florida with a lexus rx400h with front wheel drive and the seats were plush with soft touch dashboard and door panels.

For the paddles to work you need to be in M mode by moving the shifter over. Also when you are in D you can use the paddles, but you can only do so by shifting down first. Then you will temporarily be in manual mode. It's handy if you want to gear down to pass someone or need to move quick. IMO the RX sells for a good reason, not everyone wants or needs an engaging fast sporty car/suv. The plush ride is fantastic for long drives and commutes. You arrive comfortable and not fatigued from the road. The bullet proof reliability and low maintenance is something no one would complain about. Sure the tech might be a bit dated, looks are subjective, but overall its something you can buy with full confidence. Again, not everything needs to be sporty. Majority of your driving is going to be everyday errands, work, school, travel, and for that smooth, quite, and refined is perfect.

Door definitely did NOT sound SOLID period. Who agrees with me?

[@giofromtexas2679]

FACTS 💯

[@DavidSmith-xc2xz]

It sells because it's inexpensive to buy and inexpensive to run compared to other superior mid-size premium CUVs. Nothing wrong with that, but the sales focus in the car industry is always in units, and not revenue or margin dollars, so it doesn't really show a clear picture when you compare cars with wildly different ATPs

[@JTL-uv6cm]

I agree

[@CalvinHikes]

Lexus has are nice. And they blow you away when they're still nice 20 years later. And that color!

[@zxc9884761]

I have a lexus RX350 2010 Premium II, and I love it! I dont really miss anything from 2020 model, imagine!

[@rashedalialejandre6618]

That eating part though 😂 Im dead

[@JR-zz4zy]

Somebody has T-rex arms.... lol

[@SuperHector1987]

Great review. Where can I get the Toyota jacket it looks great.

[@LlyleHunter]

That’s a really good color for you Sofyan.

[@OM_42]

Genesis will soon be coming for Lexus spot in the luxury segment. They have better interior quality to me.

[@kostiantynsavostin3559]

but much more expensive.

[@ericchen3444]

I love that intro with the seaweed.

[@briangarner]

Love the review, I do hope they Never lose the cruise control dongle LOL

[@gomorel5866]

Correct me if i am wrong but i think you can use the steering wheel controls to navigate the infotainment now

[@giofromtexas2679]

I actually heard that the Lincoln MKX (nautilus) has an even quieter interior and rides just as nice!

[@aayonce4]

Also just as dated interior wise .. I think buying used would be best bet. I wouldn't recommend buying 7+ year old interior for todays money. 😃

[@mrsj1417]

It just seem quieter because it's broken down in the driveway or on the side of the road.

[@nicolasmikah4168]

mrsj1417 hahaha

[@hellkitty1014]

Lincoln did a good job on refreshing the MKX, now Nautilus. But it can't match an RX build quality, reliability, and resale.

[@Benjamin-sn5cw]

The Lincoln is probably better but the RX will outlast it by decades!

[@rightlanehog3151]

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

[@gndesign25]

I like your house and the 2 Type Rs in the background. ;)

[@speechiegal5099]

In the market to buy a second car next year and RX is at the top of the list. I currently drive a Camry, so reliability is my biggest factor, but I also want a dash of luxury thrown in there. Lexus just makes sense.
