I like how in the opening scenes they usually have another vehicle from that brand to showcase before they start with the review of the main vehicle. Something minor but cool.
Why does it have to be built in Japan. It all depends on the manufacturer if they want to put the developing on teaching people how to assemble a vehicle.
Looks like it should be called a mini van😢 The interior Looks cheap and uninspiring . And with Toyota's reliability problems of late this is a hard pass . Epic fail . these will be discounted heavily in the next 6 to 8 months.
At least it does what it sets out to do well. Roomy, fuel efficient, and powerful enough. Still, it wouldn't be my first choice, even in terms of lexus SUVs.
I know Lexus is trying to stand out, but man that front end is just ugly and weird looking. And why would you buy this over the Grand highlander? Toyota interiors are practically the same level as a lexus now.
Texass backwards thats where toyota has gone vehicle reliability quality & ability over 80 grand 4cyl engine? The 3.5 liter V6 from canada to Florida & brownsville TX/also from long Island NY to Altadena CA just maintaining fluids 2016 Toyota Sienna the current phev twin turbo V6 will barley get you out of the driveway also Li-ion battery suggest keep vehicle away from being to close to house the hybrid sienna with its nickle metal hydride batteries much less likely to have a runaway thermal event
@@robertduklus6555easy The 4 cyl is noisy unrefined laggy and really underwhelms in the real world in performance Actually all drivetrains in the tx severely underwhelm
As a Lexus enthusiast that has owned 7 of them and has 3 currently, this is an ugly vehicle that will suffer the German car fate of hard depreciation and expensive repairs once the warranty ends. You are better off buying a used V8 200 series Land Cruiser which can still be had with manufacturer warranty. Not that you will need it in a vehicle engineered to go 300K miles in developing nations with bad roads and low quality fuel. The LC will probably go up in value once V8 engines are completely banned in any vehicle costing under $150K retail. If you want a new trendy vehicle and will dispose of it before the warranty expires, you might as well buy a BMW or Mercedes Benz SUV instead of the TX.
V8 Land Cruiser is a lot thirstier than this turbo 4, and it’s for family duty so it will be driven around all over the place in town. It’s got a lower load floor and way better third row. It’s pretty much a minivan. Different vehicle purposes. Not every vehicle needs to be a supremely capable off road 4x4. Trust me, I got an L322. Haha.
I'm still trying to get use to the front end design, but everything else looks good. It will sell like hotcakes for sure! I'm a big Toyota/ Lexus fan. Love our 2010 Highlander and 2015 Lexus NX, which are still going strong! I'll take quality over fancy, gimmicky tech cars.
Nope you’re wrong The tx is dead on arrival compared to just about any other 3 row suv. I even wrote a blog on the tx explaining in detail why the tx is the worst choice in the class
@@windwalker121no it’s not. Any other 3 row suv that not luxury is significantly faster and they’re not even dedicated performance SUVs like an x5M or Porsche Cayenne
@@allentoyokawa9068best in class how? One of the slowest in class, boring to drive, Lexus interiors are just OK. Is it reliable? Probably, but I want Lexus to offer more than that.
Honestly, if you think about what families want, a crossover isn’t horrible. It just needs to be comfortable and reliable, as well as feature packed. However, I fail to see the point of buying this vs a fully-loaded Grand Highlander. Toyota’s prestige as a brand has increased significantly since the popularity of the Land Cruiser, Tundra, and Sequoia and many wealthy families pay big money for those models. Having a Lexus may not necessarily impress your neighbors any more than having a well-maintained Toyota in your driveway (and a Mercedes in the garage).
Watch a few more reviews. The quality of the ride, handling, interior noise levels are really on another level vis a vis the Grand Highlander of any stripe. Drive them both and you shall see!
@@TheBjjones agreed. I called it all over the internet and I said from the get go that the tx would be such a disappointment before it was unveiled. I’m so happy it turned out to be exactly what I expected: a lackluster product that’s DOA
