Great to see you both in Texas with this Lexus RX Giant of a car. Looks very smart outside and super luxurious interior 🎉

I have been waiting for this review! Great video as always

[OFOFBORG]

I like the interior design better. The exterior is ok. Great show Andrea! 👍🏻👍🏻☕️☕️

Ever since pandemic, price of cars have sky rocketed with the supply shortage. Now it’s still pretty high. In 2018, got a fully loaded RX luxury trim with all options for 51k USD. Then in 2022, got fully loaded RX luxury trim for 62k USD. That’s a 12k markup for basically same car.

I love it. She's not afraid to get on it.

90k bucks.... who cares if you save some gas when you're spending 90k bucks.

2, 700 miles on our RX450h+ with a 2, 200 mile road trip. We're loving it! Our 2013 RX350 went over 160, 000 miles with no issues. Lexus reliability for the win.

Great video 👍👍love this car nori green beautiful

I’ve been meaning to ask if Andrea has motorcycle experience, as she usually leans into a turn.
Good fun watching these reviews. :^)

[dailytech]

I know you guys have tested the GLE 450e and I'm curious, would you pick the 450e plug-in or the Lexus RX450 plug-in?
And thank you. I appreciate your reviews very much

[davidp.]

Love it but that’s sell your kidney money. Gonna stick with Toyota so I can keep all my organs .

[forerunner]

I agree with A_S… $$$ its out of hand. Great vehicle but i will not spend that on a hybrid when a gas model is significantly cheaper. The plain RX is creeping into (if not already) too expensive. GV70 looking like a bargain 🤔

[qupdfug]

Great video and info! I would expect for the price point... an interior other than black... are you two not tired of the "all black" interiors?

[RevLexus]

Great review guys, I was looking at these. The UK RX 450h+ starts at £69, 495.00

[alengreen]

the Car where you tested cost in Germany € 96k it makes USD $ 101k, I never would pay so much for this Car but for the American and Canadian market it´s a good choice.

[stephaniechow]

i have a 2005 RX with over 75k miles and its still going. If anyone is considering an RX you will get one hell of a reliable ride!

[Miroslaw-rsip]

I have the RX450h V6 engine model from 2020 and don’t want a 4 cylinder turbo engine since they’re more problematic down the road. Naturally aspirated is better than forced induction. I’ll be keeping my 2020 car for a long time.

[eddiepetrick]

Why didn't you include the Lincoln Corsair GT rather than another Lexus in that competition quad box?

[black_number_one]

Can you use this RX 450h+ (plug-in) without plugging it in? If electricity gets too expensive (I live in CA, prices getting way high recently), can I use this plug-in RX like an RX 350h and never plug it in? Or will this degrade the battery over time.

[jsfbay]

Thanks Zack and Andrea. Did Lexus say anything to you about why this RX doesn't do as well (MPGe, all-electric range) as the RAV4 Prime? Is it just down to the weight difference?
