2024 Lexus RX 350 Review | The #1 Luxury Midsize SUV! 

which car do u have?

@@Realist839 prolly some kia/hyundai shit box

i cant believe that - you are sure that design is better than model 21/22?

A V6 IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE ACROSS THE BOARD FOR TOYOTA.

@@denisef3149 😞😢

Do you mean more noise than the older models you owned, or more noise than the current model non-hybrid version?

Really! That's interesting! 🤔😁

Liking mine, too. Killer looking car however, I’m a little underwhelmed and find the infotainment system a little hard to manage while driving. It would be great if they could put more of the control for that on the steering wheel. Maybe if I get used to it the more I use it it will be easier but it’s impractical to “easily “ use a touchscreen while driving. What are your thoughts on that aspect of this vehicle? Overall, I’m very happy with the purchase though.

I’ve had mine a year now, 2023 350h premium plus, and am finally getting the hang of the screen. It always bounces right as I try to touch an icon. However, you can talk to the car. I’ve had it help bring up the screen to adjust treble and bass by asking nicely. It will navigate the screen a bit for you so you don’t need to spend too much time looking at it while driving.

yes! that is the only thing I do not like. The screen is almost too big, I know people will laugh! It is a lot to look at one time when you're going through music and that type of stuff but as far as temps and such it is easier overall, I love this vehicle just going forward I could get by with a smaller screen as I had with my NX300.@@jpgiuliotti

@@josephhoffmayer5180 Thanks!

Me and my wife just purchased a our first Lexus RX350 Thursday and she absolutely loves it

True, I drove it and it runs like a go-cart…

It is

In PA we have several very short merge lanes where you basically come to a stand still and then have to merge in to a 65/70mph speed limit. I suppose it depends on where you live. 🤷‍♂️

Agree. I can't understand why RU-vid is full of dudes rallying luxury crossovers off road and critiquing them if they don't feel sporty and aggressive. Most people considering a luxury crossover just want something comfortable and quiet.

Nah.

Exactly, I drove it and then 4:02 went to Acura…. I bought the 2023 MDX AWD, drives sooo smooth and the suspension is amazing.

😂 Didn’t even catch that…pretty funny

yes

3 settings for seats

haha I actually tried to slow down when I filmed a couple more today but yes I do! 🙂

Inflation

New body design. Updated logo to spell out Lexus in the rear rather than the L logo and they got rid of the mouse pad thing to use the info tainment. I have the 2023…love it but there is definitely engine noise for the normally quiet Lexus😢 I probably would not have purchased it had I really paid attention during my test drive

It's a better vehicle that's why

Not an expert, but I’m pretty sure it is supposed to be premium gas only

According to the owner’s manual for the RX350 2.4L turbo engine in the USA and Canada: “Select premium unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 91 (Research Octane Number 96) or higher required for optimum engine performance and fuel economy. If the octane rating is less than 91, damage to the engine may occur and may void the vehicle warranty. At minimum, the gasoline you use should meet the specifications of ASTM D4814 in the U.S.A.”

I used Shell 89 octane on my 2017 RX 350 gas SUV. Ran perfectly (I live at high altitude). On the new '24 RX 350 H I am going to use Premium fuel only/. @@crawfordjason

WTF? Get with the times 🤦🏻‍♀️

@@cindymiller2748 lol

My biggest concern

A generalization in the RU-vid comments-shocking. I have driven both for an extended period of time; the turbo 4 is fine. I actually prefer it for its torque. The torque on the 2.4L turbo is 317 lb-ft @ 1,700 rpm, compared to 268 lb-ft @ 4,700 rpm for the 3.5L V6. It also adapts to driving at higher elevations because the turbo helps compensate for the reduced air density. I can’t speak for long-term reliability, but Toyota has been using it for a while now. If I were to upgrade to a Lexus TX model, I wouldn't choose this engine, but that is a much bigger and heavier vehicle.

But it’s so much louder in the cab…I couldn’t figure out what the noise was. Then I realized it was the engine!@@crawfordjason

I disagree. I have driven both. The turbo 4 has a little more pep.

Funnily enough with my previous comment, I ended up buying a new TX 350 Luxury with the 2.4 turbo. It has plenty of power to move the TX and I live at elevation in Denver. The torque is great, I rarely need more than a quarter throttle to get up to speed.

BMW is high maintenance.

Money pit.

Check the cost of ownership of a BMD, Mercedes or Audi! Astronomical.

@@carguyva7596 BMW is now reliable

Sure, you can but how long?? x5 Engine gave out within 3 years. It was replaced for free as was in warranty.

Me. I just bought the 2024 RX 350 Premium. It doesn't have the panoramic roof but it has everything else.The salesman told me it would. I purchased it 2 days ago.

@@MegaBlessing2011Congrats! Our RX is a 2012 that we bought new and it's been a sensational car. Twelve years and 120K miles later, It is quieter and smoother than some of the new cars we've test driven. We're shopping for new primarily for the infotainment and connectivity features. Our default choice was to buy a new RX, however, we nixed that idea because while Lexus has long been the champion of luxury and reliability, we question if that will continue with a Turbo4 in a car the weight of the RX. We considered the smaller lighter NX with the same powertrain as the RX, but have since moved on to looking at other brands that still carry 6 cylinder power. Good luck with your RX. Toyota/Lexus knows that their reliability credentials are on the line with these major powertrain shakeups. While hacks like me question their new powertrain direction (heavily coerced by the EPA), I expect they probably know exactly what they're doing, and thus, your new RX will prove to possess long term reliability and provide a smooth quiet luxury ride for many years down the road just as the older models with V6 power have done.

My RX has a Turbo 4. @@jeffcobb331

My 2023 ES 350 had a V6. Thanks for wishing me well.

Thank you. I love it. I traded my ES 350, 2023, because it was just too small. It's really compact on the inside; outside it appears large. It's a beautiful well built car but very small.@@jeffcobb331

The front end of the RX looks great but overall yes I'll agree with ya there!

Wrong. Plenty of passing power. 30mpg on 80mph cruise on 1000 mile round trip

What are you comparing it to?

I think the V6 is underpowered

@@ddavid26i have Gen 4 2017 450h with the 3.5 V6 and I get 30 in highway. 30 is not that impressive for a four-banger hybrid.

@@ddavid26never mind. I forgot this model is the gas model and not the hybrid

No it’s not lol the front end is different on your 22

Lies!!!! The 22 version doesn't even look modern
