Excellent review, such a solid vehicle. We just purchased our 2023 premium plus last week and didn't know what we were missing until driving this car. It's quiet mannerisms will have you driving 80-90 before you know it because you don't hear it. The negative comments about the 4 cylinder...we weren't concerned with that. Smaller and more efficient turbo motors are coming into play for the luxury vehicles. The inside package of the newly redesigned RX is so impressive. It creates an impressive ambience. The 14" monitor is intimidating at first, but very intuitive once you understand the menus and work through them. We love the driving experience!
@@rebeccacastro9586 i have the nebula gray and saddle interior (maybe called something else). It’s just a beautifully understated combo. I think you can’t go wrong with any color. Seats are so comfy, smooth ride and just overall luxury. Good luck! Tell me what you get.
Just placed an order for a 2023 RX Premium+ AWD, and tried to add the panoramic glass roof and the panoramic view camera, and multiple dealership in my state and and neither state said that was very difficult to get Lexus with these options. The only way to get these would be to purchase the Luxury trim. Very disappointed, as this was our first Lexus buying experience.
Do you think there is a significant difference between the FWD and AWD of the RX350? Is there a noticeable improvement in handling and acceleration? My city rarely gets snow, so is it still necessary to get the AWD version?
I haven't driven the AWD version of the new RX, just the FWD model. I wouldn't say it's necessary to get AWD, but it's your car so it's your call. Here's my question to you: is your current car AWD? If it's not, and you've gotten a long just fine, then don't bother spending the extra money on it
@@CarDietrich Thank so much for your reply! My current car is 528i f10 RWD. Dealer told me that there is no base model with AWD in South US so I have to add 5k for AWD with premium package 😂
Yeah if you've been getting along fine with a Rear Drive 5-Series, you'll do fine in an FWD RX. I'd base your decision on other factors (features, color, pricing, etc) unless you have decided that you HAVE TO HAVE AWD in your next car.
Question number 1 when you get to the dealer is: Can you provide 2 keys at time of purchase? If not, walk away! Due to a chip shortage, Lexus cannot provide 2keys on RX 350. You must wait a couple MONTHS to be provided the second key. Dealing with that process is not fun. Super annoying as the dealers have no clue.or don't care. Do not buy with only 1 Key. You will hate the trouble it will put you through.
I have heard of this from other people, and I think its weird that Lexus/Toyota are the only manufacturer that seems to be having a problem with this right now. I leased a new Acura in January of 2023 and got two keys the day I took it home.
Can't wait till these hit busy cities with heavy foot traffic. Gonna see bunch of fender benders blocking traffic because the car won't finish the turn because it "thinks" pedestrian or a bicycle is too close.
