BMW X5 BIGGEST FAN TRIES THE LEXUS RX!!!!

Is Lexus RX a good car? And can it be compared with the BMW X5? To find out we sent our biggest BMW X5 fan a new 2021 Lexus RX450h F Sport for a review to see what he thought of what some call the "King of Hybrids".

SURVEY TIME: IF YOU HAVE A LEXUS WHY DID YOU CHOOSE IT OVER BMW MERCEDES AUDI?

[JC]

2:38 Lexus uses a different standard (the German VDA) to measure boot space. Most competitors will measure as if you're pouring a liquid into it, i.e. every nook and cranny is filled. The VDA method instead measures how many 200x50x100mm blocks (which is exactly one liter of volume) you can fit in. The blocks are not flexible so not every little corner can be used. As a result the Lexus figure for boot space is lower than the competitors but it's a much more realistic representation of how much you can fit in. Lexus doesn't play the "my number is higher than your number" game, they build cars you can actually use and you can rely on.

Had one for 6 years. Best car I’ve ever owned. It’s luxury motoring and built better than some megabucks cars and certainly more reliable than most. It hides it’s tech but is one of the most advanced cars on the road, very practical and roomy and super comfortable. I don’t care what others think of it or whether it’s the fastest etc. It’s still surprisingly fast off the mark, very torquey and economical for a two tonne awd 3.5 V6 petrol thanks to hybrid torque. Hybrid isn’t for economy though…this is where most journos get it wrong. It’s fir high torque to boost performance which helps economy, hence the name 450h. Similar pulling power to a 4.5 litre V8 from a 3.5 v6.

Possibly one of if not the greatest car ever made fro a dealership network that really cars about customer service and experience. Buy with total confidence, you won’t regret it .

What sets the Lexus apart from the competition is that it will outlast the competition, making it an excellent purchase as well as a lease. Lexus and Toyota don't believe in "planned obsolescence".

I own a automotive repair shop in Texas for about 30 years. Every few days my shop would get either a bmw, Audi, Mercedes, or American brand car come in for repairs. We'd get about one Lexus every month come in for oil changes. These Lexus will outlast their German competitor by many generations. Majority of the cars at my shop for repairs are German/American vehicles. I always recommend Lexus SUV to customers for a reliable luxury vehicle.

We have the RX FSport in our family of cars including X5. The RX is not exactly a drivers car but the most comfy and least stressful to drive. My wife’s favourite and her 3rd RX in a row. Quality product and actually stylish both inside and outside.

I just got this RX450h from Canada. It is a 2022 pre owned fully loaded. I didn’t choose 2023. I am sceptical about the L4 engine, and about using touch screen while driving.
This is my 4th Lexus.

My god dude you have a brilliant way of explaining things, I’m not only saying that because I’ve got a Lexus either 😄. Seriously your reviews are brilliant and concise, funny as well. I am on the same page as you with the Lexus brand.

In the US and Canada it is considered an upper class "soccer mama" or a "I made it grandma" vehicle. It's typically shown as a non-ballsy, non-screaming vehicle and not for petrolheads. Which is where I come from - I absolutely love everything on wheels and guess what, I recently bought the RX350L. I sold my 2yro ram laramie truck and went to grab one of those. I just wanted to get that "lexus experience" and I have no regrets, I have a tesla model 3 as my daily but I find myself taking the RX on days when I'm really pissed, just to relax. It helps, believe me.

A good honest review of an underated brand in UK.
Lexus are amazing. I would be biased as I have an RCF though haha

[neog]

Good review, as always! I reckon the small cubby at 5:03 is a place to put your phone so that it doesn’t wobble around.

Went camping a few weeks ago. two coolers, and easy-up, a tent, sleeping bags, camp chairs, food bins, etc. Plenty of room. But not much room for anything else. All that required the back seats to be down.

[brentonl]

This model is my 6th Lexus and arguably the best yet, just so refined with the small things that make the difference. And no I haven't filled the boot yet and we've been on a 2 month holiday up the east coast of Australia. Thanks from Oz and what ever she said at the end! 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Everything said by the reviewer is spot on, I have the Takumi spec bought in December 2020.

Try connecting your iPhone or Android into the USB port in the center console. The two ports there activate CarPlay when plugged in.

Great video! You made me laugh at the 4:50 mark about the paint exam 😂

[rayaanshaikh]

Good review. However, the RX F-Sport has AVS - adaptive variable suspension. Non of the range has air suspension any longer

[gwynbartley]

Toyota’s commitment to “ if it ain’t broke don’t fix It “ is evidenced by the cruise control button and its location. It’s the same button ( apart from now including active cruise control) and in the same location at 5 pm on the steering wheel as in my 19990 LS 400.
Have driven on the continent and the relaxed nature of this car makes many miles easy.

[psrpippy]

I bought the 450 RXL Takumi today. I hope it lives up to all the hype. First sensible car I’ve ever bought.
