[@redoctober2026]

Purchase it in Jul 23, drove it since then, and like the new RX350 so much more than previous 2022 model. Period. Technical upgrades are significantly tangible. No power downgrade is felt. Riding is so supple. Thumbs up to new RX350. 👍

It’s beautiful, wonderful review guys as always. I do have a question though; I have a 2023 Highlander Hybrid platinum and it comes with the digital mirror. I don’t find I use it very often because to me my eyes have to adjust to basically look at a screen rather than a mirror and I find it actually disrupts my vision. Am I the only one? It’s great when sitting still and you want to see what’s behind you though lol. Just wondering your opinion. Thanks!!

[@CarConfections]

Thanks! We agree. The main advantage of those is if your cargo is stacked up blocking the rear window

[@benjaminsaul6923]

The same thing happens to me as well, ugh.

[@strek200]

I actually get a little disoriented with that mirror.

[@kelvinlowe2245]

I purchaced the 2023 RX witch did not include the digital key option per dealers info

[@little123456788]

1:00 that rackety little engine sounds like it's apart to blow apart. The V6 was so much smoother and quieter and you could use regular gas unlike this.

[@TD-ic6nq]

My exact thoughts!

[@donaldhenley7150]

If they brought it back ot the highlander with the 3.5 v6 I would buy in a heartbeat

[@johnwhalen3191]

You might need your hearing aid changed

[@francoisrochette3808]

We own a 2021 RX 350 with the V6 and now also a 2023 and let me tell you that we much prefer the 2023. The engine of the 2023 is much quitter on the highway and perform better. It's faster. The V6 is more noisy on the highway. Also the new transmission of the 2023 is not dull like the previous generation 2016-2022. No need for the V6 in town or in traffic. Also my 2021 look dated exterior and interior beside the 2023. If you want fun with a V6 RX 350 get the 2010-2016 generation with the Aisin 6 speeds transmission. I had always prefer my 2010 over my 2021. They only downside of the 2023 that we really don't like is that snow, ice and sand get stuck in the interior at the bottom of the front doors. The design of those new doors goes under the car floor and that collects debris from the road.

[@kelvinlowe2245]

The 4 banger turbo is not as nice as the 6 cylinder but this is the new normal for many new car brands....love it or leave it

[@ritisharora2960]

Does lexus rx 350 F sport 2023 model has engine remote start?

[@Ninety9924]

I found its center console too high and too wide. The latter takes out some knee space while the former makes me feel buried in the car.

[@michaeltaylor8857]

LOVE YOU GUYS FLIPPING YOUR HAIF!

[@youtoobe169]

I test drove one of these and it had a vibration under hard acceleration from a stop. Did this one do that as well?

[@Wisdom7I]

Bought the non-hybrid RX350 and it has no vibration - smooth and quiet with great brakes. Love the turbo engine.

[@xiaoyiwang3260]

This is the perfect car for me except that I don't understand why it can be stolen so easily in Canada

[@maga6319]

And that my friend that car is going to straight to Dubai, or Nigeria/Ghana

[@user-ss8ck8kp8h]

Thank you for sharing your great review. I've heard a lot of complaints about engine and wind noise in this car at highway cruising speeds, to the point people are saying the engine is "shouty, buzzy, screaming," hurts their ears and gives them headaches; did you experience this during highway driving?

[@CarConfections]

Glad you enjoyed it! We didn't have any complaints at higher speeds, just that the engine sounds a bit loud upon acceleration for a Lexus

[@jsfbay1]

At 9:30 you show the wireless charger - it looks like perhaps the phone could easily slide off the charger. I only see one small ridge on the right side of the charger; did they do anything else to try to keep the phone in place? E.g. is the surface rubberized or anything like that? Thanks for your review, well done as usual.

[@kywildcat8486]

No, it is not rubberized and not very large area if you have a really large phone. I have a iPhone X right now. When I upgrade not sure how it will fit. Doesn’t slide off so far.

[@toddolson7273]

I have the iPhone 14 Pro Max. Fits on the charger fine. Doesn’t fly all over the place.

[@Izaya_Orihara]

maybe it will fly off if u drive like Cruella

[@sharps9514]

I can second the comment. I have an iPhone 15 pro max and it stays intact on the charging pad.

[@KuyaArbee]

@@sheedabeeda7213 right….. sheesh! 🙄 that’s a lot for a regular 350… at least the 500h has the power and efficiency! As well as adaptive dampers and uniqueness. It’s amg light with reliability of Lexus and exceptional dealership services

[@vindevhunta4905]

Looks awesome ❤ The v6 though 😢 Well thank God it still comes with an engine in this day an age

[@Mo-ym1wz]

Does it have ambient lights inside?

Issues I am having 350h 500h sport 1. coupe like roof line makes rear seat feel clustered and smaller trunk. (6ft, had almost no gap between ceiling) 2. ext, int colors still feel too old or not much to choose from 3. 500h sport seat is very hard and tight, not suitable for long distance driving 4. 350h still feels slow.

[@papagen00]

Wow that 4 banger makes quite a racket with the hood open.

[@little123456788]

Old V6 was much better

[@zsamps]

I wish it were quieter, but I believe that the noise is just the fuel system.

[@JJFN-zm3ky]

is the rx bigger than the nx?

[@oldshowfanatic77]

Yes it is. Think NX = sized closer to a RAV4 and RX = sized closer to a Highlander sort of.

[@Makol31]

Hi. I just bought a RX350 hybrid premium plus AWD and when ever it shifts to gas the engine is quite loud. Is that even normal? My first time to have a hybrid car so i have no idea if this is ok or not. Pls help. Thank you.

[@Makol31]

Its a 2024 RX350 premium plus awd.

[@CarConfections]

Hello. Yes that is normal for the RX 350h. For all the advantages of Toyota/Lexus hybrid systems, and there are many, one drawback is that they tend to be louder under hard acceleration. Enjoy nearly 40 MPG!

[@bruceclyne5254]

Is premium gas required on the 350h model?

[@MortenDamm]

I believe it's recommended for max performance, but not required. We just got one a few days ago.

[@motormusique]

When I see the new RX on the road, I have to ask myself whether it's an NX or RX. The previous generations were much more differentiated. I think this is a misstep by Lexus - the RX needs a V6 option and more distinct styling.

[@devin1229]

That gauge cluster is comically bad for this price.

[@maynardcortes1493]

infotainment and the gear changer gives this an edge over the acura rdx

[@roysmith4953]

What about trunk storage below the floor?

[@susie2251]

The tire and jack take up most of it but there is one big storage bucket on the right side.

[@jskaggs8188]

I can't see the turbo 2.4 holding up with the HP and torque they put out. Time will tell.

[@kubi0461]

Less cargo space than an X1, somehow. I’m sure it’s nice and if you like Lexus, it’s a Lexus but it doesn’t seem very cost effective at all compared to other options.

Sport mode you can still get going to 100mph easy to pass anyone on interstate. Smooth ride suspension way smoother than my Tesla Y Performance, but tesla is for the speed. Give you full size spare which is rare. And the touchscreen is fast and responsive.

They need to make a bigger tire. The wheels are too low. More than likely going to scratch those wheels. I have the 22 RX350 fsport and I have learned to make wide right turns to avoid curbs. But even going through car washes. If you miss the rail you are going to scratch your wheels. I have scratched them both ways. Would like to see a bigger, taller tire.

why no one mention about whether it use premium or regular gas when talk about fuel economy. premium gas cost average of $40c more per galleon. More important whether regular gas can be used in the new generation of Lexus

[@robertblaney5033]

I just bought a 2021 Lexus Certified pre-owned RX350L. I hate the looks of the front end of the new RX, hate the 4 cylinder turbo, & hate the fact that it requires premium fuel that costs $1-$1.20 more than regular. In my opinion, Lexus took a giant step backwards

[@OlsenTheWonderDog]

I have been test driving and pricing the Audi Q7 and BMW X5. I only started to consider Lexus RX based on reviews about Lexus’ reliability ratings in comparison to the German luxury vehicles. However, I am underwhelmed by Lexus after viewing video reviews of the 2023 and 2024 Lexus RX vehicles. I intend to go test drive the Lexus RX series vehicles to form my own opinion. If I’m going invest @75K $$USD, I want luxury, technology, power, and performance; I’m just not convinced that Lexus appears to offer much more than reliability and an upscaled RAV4.

Nice car,, nice design as well(much better as the ugly grill, some previous Lexus/Toyo Landcruiser had). And reliable they say. You don't see this car a lot here in Holland. Yeah it's more a "German-car" country. But about the transmission; friend of my owns a 2003 Audi A6 with a 7 speed automatic, shifts smoothly still today!(good maintened). And that in 2003! So 20 years ago! Okay, it's not a crossover, it's a sedan of course(2.4 V6, also very smooth). But anyway; this is a very nice car, but i cannot afford(no problem at all). And a similar German car would be a lot more expensive, i guess.
