Here's Why The 2020 Lexus RX is The Top-Selling Luxury Vehicle in America 

We wanted to clarify that the pano roof is optional on the standard length RX but NOT on the RX-L. The Lexus RX is still the same plush and luxurious car it's always been but we seriously think you should pass on the RXL version and just go with the standard size model. Lexus promises the next-generation RX to offer a third row that is actually usable for adults and we can't wait to see what the new one will look like in 2022. Hope you guys also liked the new format of this video! If you do, leave a comment below and we will implement this for future videos! Stay safe everyone!

My reason to buy an RX 350 is reliability and that's it. I wonder why the car makers like Cadillac, BMW and Mercedes still don't get it. Reliabilty is the major factor when we buy a vehicle. It is just my own opinion.

Plushie, quiet, comfort and reliability that’s the key to Lexus’ success

Here in the south, Lexus is synonymous with "old money." The interior as long as it is plush, and exterior somewhat sporty, will continue to be king. People who buy this vehicle don't care too much about flashy toys like brands such as Mercedes and Audi provide, they care about noise levels and reliability. This is justified by the almost 20 year old blockbuster GX460 and the GS350. Lexus knows it's target American audience and they continue to be brand loyal.

Something to be mentioned is that the RX 450h requires premium gas while the regular RX 350 can run on regular. Might be a cost thing for some people to consider. (Source: I work at Lexus)

The people that buy a RX know exactly what they want ... they want smooth, luxury, reliability, resale, cost of ownership and image. Plenty of ppl buy a European vehicle then switch to a Lexus later. It just works.

I like how there's no piano black in the interior which is still common in ALOT of brands , that interior is classy

for ppl who hate the idea of driving (traffic, stress, car repairs), the RX makes perfect sense

I stated with a 2016 ES350 and now have a 2018 350-L and I absolutely love it. In my opinion the interior is unrivaled. Lexus sticks to a classic luxurious look with updated tech. I appreciate the luxury, the smoothest ride on earth and the reliability of Lexus.

I don’t know about the RXL, but you can definitely get a panoramic roof on the RX.

Maybe I'm just old, but I love the interior. I like buttons and a CD player. I'm not a fan of minimalistic I interiors so many companies are going to. It feels like a cockpit, and that's the very thing I like.

I like the switch up of the review format Sofyan, nice job

Have had every RX since the 1999 model. The reason I continue to go with Lexus is reliability and Dealer experience. I have NEVER had any issues with any of my Lexus vehicles. In addition have owned GX 460, 3 IS models and a 2019 ES 350 F Sport. I have the 2020 standard length RX. I have peace of mind knowing all of my cars will not have any problems. And yes I have cross shopped all other Luxury brands and still can’t get the same value and resale value of any German or other Japanese car. That’s why it’s still the number one Luxury vehicle in the US. But you are correct, the future of Lexus needs to look very different if it wants to remain at the top. Great review as usual. Just picked the wrong version to review....

RX is a safe pick. It mixes reliability and luxury. Not many vechicles can give you that.

Soft floating ride quality is underrated tbh. As much as I like BMW’s handling, Lexus’s vision for comfort over sportiness is just so soothing.

22 inches of legroom in the third row lol. Someone at Lexus is on meth

I have never been a Toyota/Lexus fan as they always seemed to be behind the curve when compared to their competitors. But recently I bought my wife a used Lexus NX 300. I thought it was a really dumb move as we could have bought a new Mazda CX-5 for nearly the same money. But after going through the dealer experience (it was a CPO car) and living with the car, I have to say...I'm very impressed. The car is just quality. Switches feel great. Seats are great. Ride is great. Performance is more than adequate. I've probably owned over 30 vehicles in my life and none really gave me the feeling of solid reliability like the Lexus. It seems indestructible. I'd say if you lease a car or trade every two or three years then there are some fancier options that might make you happier. But if you keep a car for 5 to 10 years, I think the Lexus may be the ticket. They seem to focus more on the tried and true than the latest and greatest.

Lexus had the nerve to put climate controls in the third row as if anyone will be sitting back there.

I love the new format, and congratulations on the purchase of the new home!

Loved the format of the video!

I liked the change up in the review. You made it work well

This is a nice update. 2020 Fully Loaded F Sport is awesome :) even the 2019.

Because Lexus is the one of the only reliable luxury brands now

That face tho when you eating those seaweed snacks omg 😂😂😂

Hey at least they got that paint color right! It’s beautiful

Ahh yes, the chariot of choice for all retired Asian parents in the Northern Virginia area, lmao.

Great video, love the RX450h. I got the RX450h F sport last month and I love it now has car play and a touch screen!

I love all your videos but this one was great with the leaf eating in the beginning.

The #1 reason is reliability

OMG thank God it's finally a touch screen.

Thank you for another great review. Northern Virginia is so beautiful! No dandelions in that lawn! :)

I just love your reviews. Keep up the great work.

Yes finally this opening was better than "Throttle H." Openings..yes serious man👍🏾.. Loved it!

I just love how lexus interior has possibly the least amount of gloss black panels in this segment.

A rather bold review, however very well thought out. Thanks for the video.

You read my mind on what I wanted to know and the dated interior. Thanks for doing the drive first. Others spend way too much time on the exterior looks.

I recently picked up my 2020 RX350, continuing my ownership of RX models since 2004. Clearly, I think that they are superior in design, comfort, quiet, equipment and reliability. The two-row model is quite spacious, with 38 inches of legroom in the second row--easily accommodating 6 foot+ individuals behind front seats positioned for 6 foot+ individuals in the front row. I prefer the controls in the RX (except for that horrible track pad, but it is made obsolete because the screen can now be touch-controlled), especially the traditional shifter as opposed to the ridiculous joy stick or push button shifters adopted by some competitors. Two-row RX models are typically priced from the mid-$50's to $60k, which is quite respectable when compared to European competitors.

I love how you blurred the speedo at 7:33. Hehe I could be wrong but with lexus cvts the paddles only work when the transmission is in manual mode.

I dig the different format and the creative camera angles!

Good review. I appreciate your work. Be safe! And where can I get that jacket?

Reliability equals to old tech plain and simple.

My man got that seaweed snack going! YES!!! 🥰🥰🥰

Very nice review, as always! I like the Toyota jacket and I got distracted by the black Honda at about 07:52 min though... 😁

I like the driving portions first! Nice shakeup 👍🏼

The Seedweed chips lol 😂 hilarious. I have a 2016 RX350. Interior looks exactly the same. Love my SUV. Great and Reliable.

**You can still get a Pano roof in the RX, Its optional. I had a pano roof in my 16' Rx Fsport. The first year of this new generation.

Had to watch that opening scene 20x with you eating the leaf.. Gave me a Good laugh that i needed. thank you!

under the hood camera is a nice touch! also the back and forth int/ext editing is a big improvement!!!!

I can NOT with you and those seaweed chips hahahahaha ha that was epic! Lol

I think it's a handsome SUV. Beautiful paint and leather and interesting lines, the way it catches the light. Very Japanese, origami-ish, but I think it works, at least from an aesthetic, design perspective. Even if it drives like a chickie meh mobile.

i prefer your reviews. vwry clear and informative

that seaweed action was great! lol

That jacket looks pretty cool! Where can I get one haha

RX has pano sunroof. It's an option like 1k extra. Included on high trims. My 17 fsport has it

I have a relative in Florida with a lexus rx400h with front wheel drive and the seats were plush with soft touch dashboard and door panels.

Soyfan I LOVE HOW WISE YOUR DRIVEWAY IS. Before the lockdown I started house hunting and a nice driveway is one of my requirements. BRAVO

I love the traditional shifters, all the push buttons, turn knobs, joystick type shifters are just ugly and gimmicky

These vehicles have absolutely very comfortable ride.

It's pretty wild to see areas that I drive on a regular basis in your videos. Such a small world.

Thx for the review but I believe that you guys did a review on the RXL before....try doing the RX F-Sport next time.👍🏽

Somebody has T-rex arms.... lol

I'll take a slightly outdated and reliable Lexus over new tech and falling apart after 50k miles BMW, Chevy, Ford, ect.

Your Type R looks like it got a few upgrades :) Can we get a video of what's been done?

Nice ride.Where did you get that TOYOTA puffer jacket.Thats nice.I want one.👌

Lots of retirees and boomers trade in their Lexus LS/ES for one of these rigs (wheelchairs and walkers fit in back). Also, this is the car of choice for upper middle class soccer moms who hate minivans and who are done with their BMW X5's (too many service/repair trips). BTW, there's a rumor that the Japanese base car of the RX (Toyota Harrier) will be coming to the US to your Toyota dealers.

NYC is filled with these, way more common than the Acuras.

I like your house and the 2 Type Rs in the background. ;)

Great review.

The 2020 rx-f sport actually has a panoramic sunroof. I saw a review from "The straight pipes" that had one .

I actually like the body style, but would love in a different color. Maybe a charcoal color!

In the market to buy a second car next year and RX is at the top of the list. I currently drive a Camry, so reliability is my biggest factor, but I also want a dash of luxury thrown in there. Lexus just makes sense.

Very good review sir. We are entering the market, now in 2021, for the RX350. Want to finally "move on up" to Lexus after years of Nissan vehicles. This video will/does help us solidify our decision to go for this model! Thanks very much.

Stitching? When are we finally going to see real stitching on the exterior body panels?

Thank you for your honest review. No doubt Lexus beats all European cars

This is a great vehicle. Reviewers might not like the old shifter, and buttons, but people who actually use these things on a daily basis love them. Too many companies have gone overboard with removing buttons and putting in huge screens. You also buy this vehicle because it is comfortable. It is not a sports machine. probably the most common reason it sells so well, is that it holds its value very well, and if you choose to; you can keep it for 20 years and put hundreds of thousands of miles on it with little concerned. Not doing that with any of the German vehicles.

Sofyan!! Where did you get your green jacket from? 🔥

Genisis needs to sort out its lackluster dealer network, the service/buying experience and its resale values before it can steal any existing RX owners away from Lexus. The way I see it, the GV80 will do a great job at selling to potential RX buyers, but existing RX buyers are some of the most loyal in the industry and need a lot more to be swayed away.

I like the wood on the steering wheel, why dont people like wood on cars anymore??? it makes it 10 times more fancier 🥺

Love the review, I do hope they Never lose the cruise control dongle LOL

I think reliability is a luxurious feature that non-Lexus brands are quick to dismiss.

That eating part though 😂 Im dead

It sells because it's inexpensive to buy and inexpensive to run compared to other superior mid-size premium CUVs. Nothing wrong with that, but the sales focus in the car industry is always in units, and not revenue or margin dollars, so it doesn't really show a clear picture when you compare cars with wildly different ATPs

That was funny. Didn't even realize the new delicious shade of green until after you ate that piece of sushi wrap. After seeing the matching jacket, it was a wrap. Laughed for a good 30 seconds. You the man.

When I saw the seaweed box on the car I was like lol!!!

0:17 Sofyan has been in quarantine too long.

Sofyan is successfully missing the point of the RX. It's job is to provide a smooth, refined luxury experience, with crisp styling and optional hybrid power. Plus superior quality and resale for $40-60k. A winning combination. If you want more luxury, more features, or more power, you can get that elsewhere, for more money. but you give up things that make the RX the 2nd best-selling luxury car in America to the Tesla Model 3.

Lexus has are nice. And they blow you away when they're still nice 20 years later. And that color!

Best Luxury brand. Loving my RC-F 2017. Reliable and great performance with new tech.

I actually heard that the Lincoln MKX (nautilus) has an even quieter interior and rides just as nice!

I love that intro with the seaweed.

I have a lexus RX350 2010 Premium II, and I love it! I dont really miss anything from 2020 model, imagine!

I think the current model is beautiful. Love the green as well!

0:23-0:41 LMAOOOOO

Lexus does offer panoramic roof on the RX

Great review. Where can I get the Toyota jacket it looks great.

question, can i use the usual fuel injector cleaner off the shelves for my lexus is250 sedan?

So it looks good but there's alot of old parts on that SUV that's ashame for all that money

Genesis will soon be coming for Lexus spot in the luxury segment. They have better interior quality to me.

Correct me if i am wrong but i think you can use the steering wheel controls to navigate the infotainment now

Great video, thank you!! Pretty nice Lexus , honestly I really like the interior styling inside and out, but I think I would prefer a Lincoln Nautilus over this model!!
