New Lexus RX: Better than the Germans?
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 06. 2024
- This is the all-new Lexus RX! Mat’s got his hands on this mid-sized Japanese SUV to see if it has what it takes to compete with premium German competitors like the BMW X5 and Porsche Cayenne.
Well for starters, it certainly looks the part from the outside. Lexus has followed the latest trend of having the brand’s name written on the back of the car, but sadly it’s also accompanied by a number of fake vents. Along the side, the car looks pretty impressive, with a number of creases and bits of chrome trim. Then around the front, there may be more fake vents, but the large new grille is striking and impressive.
On the inside, the RX is super stylish. Soft touch materials and leather are found throughout the cabin, and there's a decent amount of practicality to store your items. There’s a big infotainment screen in the middle of the dash, which is pretty responsive but the system isn’t the best. Similarly, the digital dial system is ok, but there are much better systems out there.
In terms of engine choices, there are two self-charging hybrid options. The entry-level is a 2.5-litre naturally-aspirated petrol engine coupled with two electric motors to deliver 250hp. The alternative is a 2.4-litre turbo petrol coupled with two electric motors to put produce 371hp.
Alternatively, you can choose the plug-in hybrid car we have here. This comes with the same 2.5-litre NA petrol engine as found in the entry-level, and the power output is 309hp.
So the car looks impressive and is made of high-quality materials, but while the entry-level 350h starts from around £60,000, the price can rise to above £80,000 for premium editions of the 450h or 500h!
So is it worth it? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

You know a car is good when one of the annoying things is it's towing capacity 😂
A small boot and low towing capacity would definitely put some people off.
@@rickgreenhalgh1357in a Lexus RX? Gosh no. No one is considering a luxury SUV for towing. Certainly not a Lexus!
@@timjones7336 lots of luxury suv buyers have boats/travel trailers which need to be towed, besides, one of the most popular luxury cars for towing are the lexus gx and lx
never seen a lexus with a hitch, let alone tow, unless it is a body on frame one
Never been to a horse show?@@timjones7336
I owned a 4 year old NX for a period of 2 years. Not a squeek anywhere. Solid and reliable like no other brand. Not as fun to drive as some other cars though but I never worried about it starting or breaking down.
Agree man.
I own an 16 NX F Sport 3 (top trim in Canada) and a 21 Macan GTS...the NX feels like the economy car it's based on (the Rav4) and has had a water pump go and has an intermittent starting issues right now (I think it's leaky fuel injectors) with only 38,000km on it. I can't say the NX has been brilliant. The Macan feels much more premium and obviously drives WAYYYYYYY better.
@@SomeGuysGarage It's a Macan. I would bloody well hope so. Not even worth comparing.
@@baronvonjo1929 I mean technically they're both luxury SUVs and their prices do overlap here, at least for a top trim NX and base model Macan.
Point was more that the NX, at least the first gen, wasn't flawless.
@SomeGuy's Garage
They are not in the same price range in Canada. The difference between the highest NX trim and the lowest Macan trim is almost 15k (without adding options on both).
Interior wise I would go with the NX. It has a nicer infotainment screen and not just a tablet that's fitted into the dashboard, it has a nicer gauge cluster, it has nicer seats with comfier bolstering, it has a nicer center console with better buttons layout and not just some linearly sorted buttons.
NX interior is more premium in general (we also own both).
Performance however definitely goes to the Porsche - and by a good shot.
I've Lexus ES300H, which has same engine as this Lexus RX. It's 2016 January model, and I've done 150,000 miles on it and only thing I've replaced are tyres twice and brake pads - nothing else. Maintaining it through Lexus at $200 per year. I also appreciate the amazing fuel efficiency. Stellar in terms of looks and luxury.
10/10 would buy a Lexus again.
My friend, who bought Mercedes E-class petrol at same time, is always yelling at his car. So many unexpected breakdowns, poor fuel efficiency and reliability. The headlights are taillights are also of poor quality than Lexus. One headlight and tail-lights are also not working.
You don't buy a german for extreme reliability
@Ahyaan Yes, that's why I gave Lexus a chance. Even though I am in position to buy a new car after 6y of my Lexus ES purchase, it is good to see thr car running like a brand new car. I can pass it yo my dad or my wife knowing that it will not break down unexpectedly. 🎖
@@chadmagnifici2347 my favourite part is about the servicing costs only £300 a year
@Ahyaan service cost matter no matter how rich you are. They bite you after warranty period is over
@@ahyaan2552I would only lease a German vehicle if the wait for a Japanese option is too long. After the lease/warranty period, let the leasing company bear the burden of getting rid of these German endless money pits
Should include a nighttime section, it's important to see how a cabin feels and looks while nightdriving
And to be fair @carwow should do nighttime simply to show the lightpattern as well😅 there’s quite a difference in high beam performance on cars, and many people rely on good factory lighting✌🏻 xenon isn’t just xenon and led are’nt just led🤷🏻
And at least mentioning the safety assistance electronic systems.
The British don’t work overtime
I love lexus for their interior. This one is no exception. Nice job Lexus
Lexus goes for another banger like Porsche.
it’s pretty bad for the price and class
@Kristiāns Ozoliņš
You are getting luxury and reliability in one package, something that the Germans, in this segment, fail to do (except Porsche, but for a much higher price).
@Kristiāns Ozoliņš yeah, I really dont get people. It's not even close to the interior from british or german options. Its leagues behind.
@@TheAlbaniaGaming
Tell me you've never been inside one of these.
The build quality that Lexus has is unmatched by any.
I would like to add my 2 cents as a person who used to have a new X5 4.0 d F model and as a person who now owns Lexus RX 450L and Porsche Macan GTS. ( the Lexus belongs to my brother but i often use it ).The BMW x5 i bought new ,drove it 150.000 kms. I always try to protect my cars in all the ways possible( service them regularily ,avoid potholes ,don't accelerate on a cold engine etc. etc.) yet the BMW while it had a sporty feeling for a big vehicle ,it was far from reliable.(even left me stranded few times) . The Porsche on the other hand, has a nice sound ,somewhat fast ,corners well and all the things you would expect out of a GTS Porsche .The downsides is that it has a poor riding quality ( which is logical) the ''sport +'' seats with alcantara would make my back fully wet on longer jorneys ( not to mention how much they squeeze you ) .Overall a very fun and decent driving experience but very poor comort.We all like to look at 0-100 times and horsepower and torque and looks and lap times and all kinds of shit that we do not care/use about 90 % (literarily ) of the time of using a vehicle .Now comes the Lexus;I have around 70-80 K kilometers on it ,made in about 3 years .I kid you not but on longer jorneys 90 % of the time i take the Lexus and ditch the Porsche.The RX 450L is decently fast ( never felt like i needed more power ),EXTREMELLY roomy and comfortable + an amazing ride quality.I have friends with the new S-classs... and tbh i cant sense much difference ( aside from noise canceling).One thing i dont like about the Lexus is that ''moany '' gearbox and the sound it makes .Truthfully i dont like that gearbox but after some time u dont even notice or think about it.I have driven many cars owned by me and lots of sports/luxurious cars owned by friends. My final words would be those :IF you want to be 100 % sure about the realibility of your car -get a Lexus .IF you want to feel comfortable on long jorneys - Get a Lexus .IF you want to have a decent power to MPG ratio - Get a Lexus.If you want to have one of the most SOLID cars out there that you KNOW will work and wont give you miner shit all the time + major problems from time to time - Get a LEXUS.If you are a self confident person who is not a slave to a certain badges or what people would think of you ,based on your car - Get a Lexus.
Well said! 👍😀
My ownership of lexus has been so great, in my opinion if you get the right model, it is better than the German equivalent and you know it won't leave you stranded or penniless
💯
Currently own a 4th gen GS350 and I couldn't imagine a car being able to do everything it does any better. Interior quality is very good, no rattles or creaks or wear even on a 10 year old car. It has cool features for the year, extremely reliable, handles well for a 3700lb luxury sedan, looks nice, very affordable, not entirely slow, super quiet and smooth at highway speed but performs in sport+ as necessary. Ive compared it to multiple german "equivalents" that friends have owned and in my opinion it trumps all of them, especially for the price. I spend 8+ hours a week in the car and have no complaints whatsoever.
Lol a Toyota 🤣
@@sleepyjoescumbag1663 a luxury Toyota better than germans
@@sswain833 You havent compared with shit... The GS was the worse e segment car when sold. Not even on the m infiniti or acura level. Very noisy on highway, slowish and very dull steering wise. The interior was absolutely outdated and had no personality at all.
This Lexus RX have a very cool and futuristic looking design! Japanese Lexus engineers have done a great job when designing this SUV!
The same comment everytime.
I like they have calmed the grill design down, looks better with the solid bits in between the headlights. Looks great
Yep. For me it is 8.8/10.
they haven't calmed it down...just other manufacturers have caught up in their ugly grill department *cough* BMW *cough*
ive seen it in person and it is very ugly, the old f sport grille was miles better and looiked sportier
Apparantly big grilles are a symbol of power in china, which is why brands like bmw have gotten such large grilles
@SomeGuy's Garage
Lexus knows how to make large grills unlike BMW which is failing miserably so far
Actually quite surprised you know of the Grand Seiko brand. That alone, gets a 👍🏽 from me
Honestly, I was blown away by it at the Brussels Autosalon. If I had the money... It looks so incredibly gorgeous!

Owned a NX for 7 years now, and it still drives like a dream and never breaks down. Warranty will last until it is 10 years old unless you stop having it serviced at a Lexus dealer, because they know it will never need work. Great interiors, brilliant looks, make it a great choice. The RX looks stunning, but just a little to big for my driveway, so I will get another NX in due course. Beats the pants off rivals in my opinion. 👏🏻
I'd love to see you get your hands on the F sport. 2.4 turbo charged with a 6 speed automatical gearbox. I've been wait for you to get your hands on this Lexus for a while now but once Mat Watson has reviewed a car (like Dr Dre says it's a rap when he's finished recording a song) it's a rap! To be none after! Excellent work Mat. PS... all those guys going on about you aging they just jealous because you aging gracefully.. YOU STILL LOOKING GOOD!

Just got home from a 1000 mile road trip in my 2011 RX350 and it still drives like new even though it has 105k miles…I would high recommend anyone thinking of an RX to get one. Perfect for road trips and adventures with the family 👍🏻
Sir, is the implication that BMWs wouldn't hold up quality this long?
Not being snide, genuinely curious as I try to understand the reality in this segment...
@@narasimhakaushikn9198unfortunately bmw is just not as reliable
I’ll see your 2011 RX350 and raise you a 2002 RX300, owned from new. Bloody lovely cars.
Hi Mat. I owned an NX, then I now have the (old) RX. Love the video, except......As i live in rural Scotland the paddle shifters are perfect for "engine braking" as no manual or auto box to slow the car down without using the brakes. Sooooo, when it's icy/snowy you can downshift and the car slows down. A great use for your "useless" paddle shifters. You're welcome :-)
The NX and RX350 F for me are equally good cars.
@@purwantiallan5089 They are both lovely cars, but the V6 makes it that bit more premium I feel. I'm in the UK and own a 450h. Love it. Such a calm place to be, so different from the Germans marques.
With the hybrid, you're better off slowing the car with a light amount of pressure on the brake which will engage regen without applying the mechanical brakes. If you use engine braking, the electric motor will need to work hard to gear down the drive output in the eCVT which negates any regen benefits.
@RichBayley I use the paddle shifters in my Corolla for the same. They are not useless for that purpose! And answering @BenDavies, regen only works when there is capacity in the battery to absorb it. There are plenty of hills where you end up with the battery full, and do need some additional "engine" braking.
@@davisonthealist You're right Ben, but i was particularly referring to very poor road conditions and not using any braking at all, rather than any sort of re-gen gain
That gear selector is great once you get used to it. Used it in an Lc500
Been waiting for this review! I have a 2016 NX, but have been needing a bigger vehicle since we have 2 dogs now and take a lot of road trips with them. I'll definitely be trading in for the RX.
Same here, I was checking the CW list everyday for new RX review. Finally is here!
@@terryyang4889 did you end up getting it? Mine comes in this week
I wish that Mat will review the 500h soon, it’s a much better and nicer experience and also, the paddles on the steering wheel have a purpose…well…sort of…
I am excited for that but they are a £90k Lexus RX
i dont know, it's already kinda hurtful at £75k non Takumi.
The options for this model are very fustrating, starting from 60k going to 90k isn't typical Lexus behaviour.
@@Jupa that is so true! They are a lot cheaper in the states, we just get shafted in the UK
@@Jupa yh, I agree lexus in Europe is getting more and more expensive :/, here in Italy they just bumped up the price of the rx500h from 100k€ to 110k!! That’s absurd
@@o_o-_-8639 That's pretty insane. I got a fully optioned 2023 RX 350h Luxury for $66k in the US. Maybe because they build them in North America and Japan, it's expensive to ship them to Europe.
NICE ! back with another review video !! I do like the other kinda vids but the reviews are still the best for me !
Dude, Lexus is better than German, period. Not just RX
You are really High aren’t you? Herione is it? A nice little speed ball
What is "Herione"? Are you drunk?
@@petewick8627Exactly
"Herione"
That interior is beautiful. Thanks for the review Mat. Glasses looks alright mate, very stylish and looks expensive.
Mat can make any car review fun to watch
Lexus if you are a self confident person, BMW if you try to look younger, richer or smarter than you actually are....
Exactly
Great you're getting back to car reviews !
Amin. You got it.
Nice review of a great car!
Own a RAV4 PHEV with same engine. It's a beast. If the PHEV RX was released earlier, and I had the extra cash, I would seriously consider it
Note that the "gears" are just adjustment of how aggressive regen braking is. It simulates engine braking. Kind of handy on twisty roads or driving downhill
This format of the presentation order is the best!
Love the RX in Structural blue, stunning looking SUV . Better quality inside and out compared to some rivals. Well done Lexus 👌
It's great to see you review this all new Lexus RX. Can you also review the new LX and the Maserati Grecale 🙏 . Thank you.

With CVT, u need to get to high RPM to feel the gear change like normal gearbox if u want to change the gear by using paddle shifter.
Finally, Matt appreciates my LEXUS RX. I'll be getting this one soon to add to my RX collection.
That rear reminds me of an Audi E-tron mixed with a Nissan Aryia. Looks futuristic, though. I like it.
Nissan Ariya and RX350 F Sport both are equally impressive.
Beautiful, Lexus is #1 in the world, quality, duration, reliability, dependability.....
Can't argue with that.
Lexus is one of the most relible car I've owned but they aint cheap for brakes and clutches and all that. Suzuki are often overlooked as they make little functional cars but they seem to be unbreakable. Honda reliability is overrated, civic TypeR is unreliable their suspension is chocolate
i've had my lexus is300H f sport (2014) for about 4 years now, and im still in loved with the luxury and comfort. Lexus truly hits different.
never thought id say that about any modern SUV but the F Sport in white is absolutely gorgeous.
10:19 you should totally get someone to run with the load covers wearing a green suit and do some editing magic lmao
Yep.
Was gonna say that
This is such a nice car to film in, maybe it was because of the mid day sun but the lightning in the car while Mat was driving was so nice because of all the white interior.
Great Review Matt!
The Lexus looks really lovely, and doesn’t deter from the Lexus ethos of calm, luxurious and relaxing transportation.
Maybe Honda needs to loan Lexus its CVT gear change simulator in the new Civic. The simulation in that car was really sweet, you would think it’s a normal gearbox installed. I could tell from the video.
Otherwise, great review as always!
Love that you mentioned GS!
Matt’s reviews are great and objective. Scores a 💯 in my books
Objective???? According to matt a car is good if it has soft touch plastics and you can keep a 1.5 litre bottle of water in the door, even if it as as reliable as a piece of donkey crap...
As a newly acquainted watch enthusiast, that Grand Seiko analogy in the beginning was just perfect🤌
I like how you make the car look cheap with your hand gestures :) professional.
Grand Seiko reference was so not expected! Great job Matt!
Amazing... Matt always has very thorough details of the car🎉🎉🎉
Matt has this already.
Im very curious of how the new ES and LS would look like with this grille, i think the new grille design wouldve made them look 10 years newer.
I would like to see a drag race between the 350, 350h, 500h….
I switched from the Tesla Model Y to the Lexus RZ450e (18 inch wheels) with latest software update that unlocks more range and efficiency, and it was the best decision ever. Do not listen to the skeptics / critics who tested pre-production or early production vehicles with the old software. With latest software updates, the range and efficiency is amazing. 95% of my driving is in the city (Washington DC) at speeds below 35 MPH and I average well over 4.5 miles/kWh. On a recent drive, I got 7.2 miles/kWh. 18 inch wheels (NOT 21 inch wheels) and using regen at lowest setting is key to getting maximum efficiency because Lexus designed an adaptive automatic regen braking system that recognizes when the car needs to slow down (for curves or stopped traffic) and blends in appropriate regen and friction braking as needed to simulate a true one pedal driving experience.
The RZ hits 0-60 in 4.5 seconds. Its ride quality, powertrain refinement, quietness and sound system all blow the Tesla Model Y away. Lexus discounted this heavily so it ended up being a $43,000 car.
The infotainment is snappy - having a screen in front of you to display vital info as well as a heads up display are HUGE pluses over the Model Y. As for the Normal/Eco/Range settings, once you sign in, it remembers your preferred settings. The radiant heat feature is genius BTW - feels like a warm blanket on your legs. Safety features like Safe Exit Assist prevent doors from opening if a car or cyclist is approaching (can be overridden). There are so many thoughtful touches and safety features that make Tesla looks pretty crude and ancient - almost Iike an unfinished product.
As for lack of frunk, I don’t miss it. The RZ has plenty of space in the sub trunk for cables, plus features like digital rear view mirror, homelink garage door opener, blind spot alert lights and beeps, 360 panoramic camera views, auto park and ventilated / cooled seats more than make up for lack of frunk! Oh, and unlike Tesla, help and service is just a phone call away - there’s always someone who answers the phone should you have a question.
Now this is a really good looking vehicle great content on the channel 👌👌
Finally a Lexus. Been too long. 😂😂😂
It’s was so quiet when he was driving inside the car , really nice
Excellent review Mat!😸

Yep. More like 8 months waiting for a review from a Lexus car.
Such a radical change from my old 2000 RX300.....traded that for a 2004 GX470 which I still have and love
My Skoda Superb has a rear camera washer so I am surprised, as you are, that this doesn’t. Strange gear box 😊. Great review Matt.
The RX is just an all around beautiful car. Relatable at that too.
The RX350 F SPORT has 380bhp imo.
This channel needs more current gen lexus reviews. I think the IS and RC were left out.
Lexus have left them out; no longer manufactured(at least in Europe)
Finally a non-black interior roof.
I like how the pillars are still dark colored, but the headcarpit is bright.

Still waiting for Matt to review the Lexus ISF.
You're not old mat . You're evergreen

I do love Lexus build quality and reliability, but find them too clinical for my liking. I'm probably different to most people but Lexus are undoubtedly one of the very best cars in the world..Brilliant honest review as always Mat...Andre.
Amazing stuff
Love the RX. I think they hybrid battery steals some storage space
Imagine if we drag race this RX350 F SPORT against the Prius and Honda CR-X.
Hey Mat, could u please use a slow aperture when you video inside the car, sometimes ur camera DOF blurring out important parts. Nice job on the content.
Mat has taken inspiration from old TG it’s been evident from many episodes but this reference on 0:48 from Grand Tour by JC is hilarious
Feels like ive not watched a new car review like on here in weeks
Yep. I am approved this.
I'd pick a Lexus over just about any car, they drive amazing but also, they are the most reliable. Every single German car I had in the past: Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Vw drove great, but they were all very unreliable.
Unreliable how ?
@@Natethegreat200c Something went constantly wrong with The Mercedes, the Audi and the BMW that I had. Have friends with Range Rovers and they are even worse. Driving a Toyota now, I have put a ton of miles on it and nothing has ever gone wrong. It is not me saying it. Consumer reports has Range Rovers, Mercedes, Audi's, Jaguars, BMW's as unreliable cars and Lexus and Toyota's almost always on top of the list when it comes to reliability.
@@TheSportsPROgram you listen to consumer reports 🤮. Come on man 😂. The automotive community has to stop letting these outlets spoon feed you all information. However , you said something went wrong .. but were you left stranded ? You said reliability issues , if you made it everywhere you wanted to go, your cars were never unreliable. You never were scared you’d be stranded. Are you saying they were problematic? Or had little issues ? That’s different from saying the car was unreliable. A unreliable car is something I know I can’t count on to drive me from a to b. I’m sure you could count on your German cars just as much as that Lexus. And I know you feel the step down in quality in that Lexus. The Germans and Italians have the luxury segment on lock. Lexus cars are too Toyota like and skimp on the luxury experience. I don’t know how you can even look at a Toyota after driving a German car. Crazy.
@@Natethegreat200c No …. All the German cars had all sorts of problems and Lexus is way more reliable
Keep driving your German and English cars and keep going to the repair shop and by the way consumer reports is actually very accurate; who do you listen to ? Yourself
I had about 4 lexus cars, 1 Benz, and 4 bmw's. I can say that Lexus is more reliable and cheaper to maintain. However, in my experience that doesn't matter as I never keep cars longer than 4 to 5 years and most of the cars don't break down or have issues first 4 to 5 years. I think that lexus on has a advantage if you are keeping your car for a long time. That being said I prefer BMW over Lexus when it comes to drive and tech.
Enjoyable review. Don't you have the choice to bind the drive mode settings to the steering wheel button's alternate page as in North America? I'm also surprised that the rear camera has no washer since since they do on this side of the pond do but then again they are built in different factories.
11:20 Matt keeps making me laugh so hard and proving he can never be truly replaced in this arena xD
Great review as always! For those who know what it is, it is a near perfect car!
Beautiful car...I need to see real exhaust tips.

Best SUV on the market by far, great job Lexus
Between the RX450h+ and RX500h i would take 450 based on price, but the 500h would be the better choice.

The black RX 500h F Sport looks really good … looks good in white as well.
Wish I could afford one. :)
Mat. I suggest taking the RX500h for a test drive. The RX450h+ is not really performance driven, even though it has just over 300HP.
Thanks for the review!
By definition SUVs are not performance vehicles. Putting in a more powerful engine doesn't make it one.
@@drwisdom1 I have Audi SQ5 (420 hp) with air suspension and sport differential,. and well. it does
@@winfle I challenge you to an autocross race. I sold my GTI so I am going to have to beat you with my 2015 Sportwagen TDI with a manual transmission (190 hp, 55 mpg on highway).
We get the RX350s instead of the hybrid RXs because they will last forever. We don't think the marginal performance and mpg boost of the hybrid is worth it in the long run for a higher priced luxury vehicle. Whereas the Prius is the perfect car for a hybrid system.
I got a NX 450+ and it is the one of the best allrounder I have every driven. RX should be the same. Also the avs suspension is great
