[RideTheTrack]

it does look absolutely gorgeous in that shade of silver

[simonchoi]

I like that all your testing were conducted within a controlled and closed environment, a sign of professionalism on its own, good job!

[diepieche]

The exterior looks nice. And impressive car overall.

[CarToneHK]

So grateful for the reverse top speed, helps if I ever need to do a j turn

[RCooper]

Love that you provide Autonomy Driver Aid tests for each vehicle! Thank you!

[MrPeterrichardson]

This car looks amazing. Pure sportiness is not the purpose of the car, but impressive on that front nonetheless. I too just drove one yesterday and its just awesome. I m coming out of an Audi Q5 and had a BWM X5. I know this is Lexus is newer but have also driven all these competitors. Not the Merc - just declaring this much. The hidden benefit here is Lexus (Toyota product) is the most reliable vehicle make on the planet. I know this as we are a National RSA provider. This means the reliability durability aspects are off the charts. After-all ….. when you jump in a car day after day you want to know that you will be guaranteed to get there. Plus if unlucky and the only thing that could go possibly wrong, does go wrong (flat tyre - as mechanically bullet proof) then you have a spare… This is against competitors run flats. Happy driving 😊

Lexus > Germans. Smart people know.

In the USA a fully optioned RX 500h is right under $70k and that's still expensive, yet you guys have it in the six digits, and that's beyond crazy!

I just purchased one for my wife 4 days ago here in Virginia. It's spec'd pretty much the same as the one you tested with the exception of hers has power reclining rear seats. But this review actually showed a few features we didn't know it had. So thank you

[car_babble]

An absolutely stunning car and an even better review. Can't think of another channel that gives more concise detail than this one.

[Kruse]

Would be my pick for a SUV in that price range.

[mosheheliyahu]

Loved the reverse speed test! 🤣. I have never attempted to do that in all my 38 years of driving!

[melkieone]

I loved the way you reviewed every single aspect one would want to know about the car. Amazing work

[Grudlin]

Great review once again. Any chance you could add turning circle to the test also I feel this is as important as reverse speed 😊

[wtvzgvv]

I've had every RX since 1999. This is by far the most superior model I've driven yet. I got it completely Loaded. I also have a twenty one l c five hundred convertible. I enjoy driving the r x five hundred just as much as the l c five hundred. Lexus makes a great car!!

[GEE]

Great review can you please do a review on the new ux luxury 200 .

[jeremyhill]

Beautiful car. Can’t say I thrash my X3 ever, so this not being the last word in handling doesn’t phase me. Stylish, well built and the hybrid tech looks great. Great suburbs car.

[laurencesong]

I think I made a correct decision after watching this review. Can't wait for my 500h arrive.

[sameerpurohit]

A great video and very timely. I went to the showroom today in Perth and was very impressed. A little pricey though

[archechme]

Yeah this Lexus looks really classy especially in that silver colour with the black accents. Fantastic looking car.
