I am actually a big fan of this generation RX, I don't really get why people are so hung up over the last gen, it wasn't particularly quick, and the interior was also plasticky in some places, I mean it was comfortable but so is this new one and I think the interior materials are way better than the previous gen. The only thing I really missed when driving the turbo motor was the smoothness of the V6, but the turbo is not un-refined by any means, and the low down torque means you don't have to rev the engine too high to get moving. The RX500h felt like the old V6 in terms of smoothness but with a lot more power.

I also don't get the argument of people saying the RX isn't sporty, I mean sure the 500h exists but that is still a lot comfier than other performance SUVs. The RX has always been the city cruiser that can eat up miles in comfort, and this gen does that really well to me, especially in the hybrid format. It also happens to be one of the most fuel-efficient entries in the class

I do like the look of the RX, front and back. Nice and unique as you mentioned

I just bought a luxury trim nightfall mica (blue) and it's stunning in the sunlight, even though it looks black at some angles in the shade. I do not realize when I am driving 70+ mph on the highway, because the ride is so smooth and stable.

I have a 2022 RX450h luxury trim and I find the seats to be very comfortable with 4 way lumbar and front cushion extender. I know there have been complaints about the previous gen F-sport model seats. We get average 28-29mpg with 3.5L V6 and total 306hp…I’m very happy with it so far and glad I got the last model year of the V6.

Thank you for the review. I agree, the German’s 4 cylinder turbos run smoother, nicer sound when accelerating and have a much bigger punch.

Awesome review! Had my sights set on the 350h before watching the video. So, the primary reason you feel for not getting the hybrid is that the drivetrain doesn’t feel as smooth as the non-hybrid?

[omendarklight]

This looks amazing, and the interior has excellent quality. But that's not what sells a lexus alone, it's the dependability and reliability. Complaints about the engine is inevitable, but literally every car manufacturer is downsizing there engines. So pick your poison, if it's anyone id trust lexus with the turbos. This will continue to sell very well. Despite the rocks being thrown at it. 😂

Good review

I drove today 600 km with this car. So loud engine, and not fuel efficient at all.. but cruise control is good and car is very stable on bumpy roads

Glad you pick pretty colors not that silver one !

No, don't ditch the 21 in wheels. it adds a lot of character to the car and I'm having no problems with the Bridgestone tires. The engine has more torque than the v6 and is very smooth. I have the 2.4 turbo and it's fine. I rarely have to rev the engine past 2K so I really don't hear it. I got the Premium + and it's perfect for me. I had the Luxery model for a few weeks and I did not like the HUD as it casts a shadow on the windshield that is distracting to me. I got mine for 54K Don't spend north of 60K for this car. those bells and whistles are not worth it.

[joelgarcia]

I only get hybrids so I got the RX 350h premium plus last night. I don’t see the point of a V6 on a hybrid when the point is fuel economy. So I think people missed the point that gas is up and want a none v6 to afford driving it lol. Yes the v6 was quiet but the gas….pointless.

[alengreen]

I think that this is a very good Lexus car, not really a luxury brand car but a for a Lexus / Toyota it is good 👍, thanks Kevin 😀.

[martinezpablito]

All Lexuses have the same issues in my opinion. They're comfortable, luxurious, efficient and most importantly....reliable. But they are BORING compared to their German rivals. They're underpowered, have finicky tech and are uninspiring to drive. Not sure why they always skimp on the horsepower. Is that for reliability? I will always choose a Lexus over the Germans but man I wish they would make their cars more exciting. It's like driving a Japanese Buick.

[cameraone]

Not sure what is the lead time now. The hybrid does have long lead time. We put a deposit down in early March this year (2023) for specific (exterior and interior) colors and some package options. We just got an email saying our LX 350h will be built sometime during 1st couple weeks of Oct. They also said it will be 2024 year version. 🙃🤪🙄

i had the opportunity to try this car over a weekend and even on the high way. The speed is amazing, the pick up is not bad. However, the buzzing of the 4cyl engine is not the refinement I associate with Lexus. Also, the road noise is far to great. I had a 2008, 2011, and 2013 Rx and the road noise on the 2023 Rx is far greater than either of my previous models. I actually think the Lexus is not worth the premium over the Toyota. Not sure about this model

[warispeace-freedomisslaver]

I bought same model different color. I’m very happy with it. The only thing is the ecvt sound.

[ricardomartinez-negq]

4 cylinder turbo is just sucks...bring back 6 cylinder I don't care about gas prices or mpgs
