Also the quietness. Lexus - masters of controlling NVH.

@@Ce0ammer Except they are beeping at you all the time 😁

Customer service is definitely underrated. Lexus dealerships are the best

My experience with dealerships in the UK at least is that they are pretty much as bad as most others. I've had a Lexus IS and now have a RX450h, but I've had similar issues with things not being fixed that I have asked as my local BMW dealers. Also fit and finish on the RX is not good, lots of rattles and loose trim (particularly with the moon roof but also the dashboard) it really needs a redisign badly.

I feel reliability is more important on the used market

The RX 350 is definitely nice, but they just don’t depreciate. They keep their value just like a Toyota truck, which sucks when you want a used RX.

No. It’s actually great. You buy reliable car so high chance for running cost only (not repairs) which means saving money. And once you decide to sell you don’t lose much money...

Lexus NX review is now here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gceKaK9-0L-lZGg.html

You should not choose a car because of the brand. The car and its model must be earned in order to be bought. Lexus is no heaven or makes you feel blissful. It does not automatically mean that it is the best possible choice. Not even every time, not even close. The comparison is always worth it. Lexus rx competes in the price range which includes Toyota Highlander, BMW x4 and rx are not among the top three. BMW x4 vs Lexus rx : The X4’s pre-crash front seatbelts will tighten automatically in the event the vehicle detects an impending crash, improving protection against injury significantly. The RX Series doesn’t offer pre-crash pretensioners. The X4 has a standard PostCrash iBrake, which automatically applies the brakes in the event of a crash to help prevent secondary collisions and prevent further injuries. The RX Series doesn’t offer a post collision braking system: in the event of a collision that triggers the airbags, more collisions are possible without the protection of airbags that may have already deployed. To provide maximum traction and stability on all roads, All-Wheel Drive is standard on the X4. But it costs extra on the RX Series. The X4’s corrosion warranty is 6 years longer than the RX Series’ (12 vs. 6 years). BMW pays for scheduled maintenance on the X4 for 2 years and 26000 miles longer than Lexus pays for maintenance for the RX Series (3/36,000 vs. 1/10,000). There are over 43 percent more BMW dealers than there are Lexus dealers, which makes it easier should you ever need service under the X4’s warranty. On the EPA test cycle the X4 gets better mileage than the RX Series 60 to 0 MPH : x4 109 feet, RX Series 123 feet The X4’s front to rear weight distribution is more even (50.2% to 49.8%) than the RX Series’ (57% to 43%). This gives the X4 more stable handling and braking. The X4 has a much larger cargo volume with its rear seat up than the RX Series with its rear seat up (23.7 vs. 16 cubic feet). The X4 has a much larger cargo volume with its rear seat folded than the RX Series with its rear seat folded (50.5 vs. 32.6 cubic feet). BMW x4 reliability is as good as rx. If you switch to a lower price range with a Lexus nx, Lexus nx vs Lexus rx : Lexus nx is cheaper. The Rx has a larger interior. In a crash test using a dummy (doll), rx is much safer than nx. In the series where the Lexus nx is, it has a Volvo xc40, Toyota rav4, BMW x1, which are safer than the nx. Neck injuries occur with a 46% probability on a Lexus nx ride in a 50km/h (35mph) crash test where a dummy ( doll ) was used. Here is results : The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration does 35 MPH front crash tests on vehicles. Neck Injury Risk : Lexus nx driver 46% passenger 42%. Audi a3 driver 45% passenger 34%. Lexus is driver 35% passenger 41%. Toyota rav4 driver 29% passenger 37%. BMW x1 driver 32% passenger 31%. Lexus es driver 24% passenger 33%. Volvo s60 driver 26% passenger 30%. Audi a4 driver 26% passenger 25%. Toyota camry driver 20% passenger 21%. The Toyota rav4 will be significantly cheaper than the Lexus rx or BMW x4 during the five-year ownership period. I choose the sedan car model myself. Toyota Camry is at least safe, car crush test 5 star in every segment ( unlike suv -> 4 star ), although not the best in all areas, much cheaper + better reliability, better fuel economy ( than mostly suv ) + all wheel drive if you want. Choice is yours Thank you

glad u liked it =)

And reliable

@@Aikynbreusov it is ok

Best suv on the market? Are u serious🤣

@@HardcoreWeeaboo If you've owned Lexus and other brands you'd understand.

we will !

Plug in hybrids are trash, you either go full hybrid or full electro, if you want functioning efficency. Plug ins are a terrible compromise that almost never works as intended.

soon !

@@its_EZ As being a company car driver and having only one car for my family, I think Plug-in hybrids provide best comprimise in terms of benefit-in-kind tax and being best of two worlds. I agree with you however if I would own 2 cars, i would go full EV for my company car. So it really depends on what you really need.

@@its_EZ plug in only worth if gov give rebate. Like Canada quebec offer 13k rebate. Plug in cheaper than hybrid standard package.

Happy nu year!

thanks! In the upcoming weeks! UX EV (300e) next Lexus!

thanks Ralph!

Oh 😧

@@autogefuehl agree with the relaxed driving view. I want another 1.. there are fewer of these on the road than the German equivalents. Most reliable for sure. I love it.

Best greetings!

There are hardly any new diesel ICE cars being introduced into the market now as all major European countries are banning sales of new ICE cars from 2025 (starting with Norway). For countries in Africa, South America, Asia and Australia, European and Japanese car manufacturers will continue selling ICE cars using existing European and US emission technology until BEVs become the norm there.

No the main reason German SUV are popular in this segment is Business lease and image. People who lease or sometimes buy these cars dont care about long term reliability and sustainability because they will buy a new car in 3/4 years. If you buy German SUVs second hand than the financial fun begins. They are money pits

A lot of the Hybrids are limited

Cheers! Oh tough question

For EU market the RX is built in Japan.

Yes, all EU Lexus are made in Japan. All the better for it!

I think more conservative people or people who just want a reliable car and don't care if it is up to date. But some 50 plus people want an up to date car as well.

The other factor is that this age group likes the quality of service Lexus provides. Personally, I can state that Lexus dealerships treat their customers intelligently and make their customer's purchasing experience amazing. ( Canadian experience) I was shopping around for a different brand after driving Lexus RX for more than 13 years but Lexus' level of service is what sold me again. I was treated in such a way that was above an beyond the other dealerships even in the same German vehicle category. I agree that Lexus design language is not the most modern and I admit that I was on the fence because of that but again the no non-sense approach and amazing customer service is what sold me again. That was more important to me than a nice, modern interior design and a better driving dynamics that plays little role in every day driving and good ownership experience. Where I am only Porsche dealership had as good of a customer review as Lexus did.

grazie! heh no

😎👌

heheh

@@autogefuehl All Lexus hybrid SUVs are limited at 200km/h. Toyota's hybrids (except Prime model) are limited at 180km/h

Thanks! Sometimes we show that, when cars have special functions for that

Good point!

At what speed? He might have a point about noise at autobahn speeds. Almost only Germans that think about noise level at 220 km/h.

Maybe that was the case, but it is not anymore. Meanwhile plug-in hybrids are sold more often than diesel in Germany

? The signal stalk is always on the left side on LHD except for some unique quirky cars/super old cars.

signal stalk is always on left all good!

British cars (wheel on the right) used to have the indicator on the right also so you could change gear and indicate with a flick of the finger. This was gradually changed from the late 60s as it was cheaper not to bother moving it when converting from left hand drive to right hand drive for UK market (+SAF, Aus, Japan etc)

@@richardlionheart3965 For UK and Ireland this is true since their cars are EU spec but for other RHD markets cars locally produced will always have indicators/turn signals on the right stalk. Like in Indonesia, Japan or Thailand for example the Toyotas and Hyundais, etc. will have the indicator stalk on the right and it is similar in Australia.

yeah ES should have folding bench

Funny you say that! I have a 2016 RX450h and now I also have a Tesla Model Y Performance. I don't think I will ever go back to Lexus!

@@CurryollaI like electric cars that's why my next car will also be electric! But I also do like comfort that's why I'm waiting for the RZ450e, it is based on the new architecture e-tnga I loved my RX450h but it is time to go full EV

@@pwelele Lexus comfort and reliability are solid reasons to stick with them. For me, Toyota was taking too long to make an EV so I left. No regrets and I may come back, but the technology and performance of Tesla has me hooked! I'm also a Full Self Driving Beta tester and the progress is impressive! Looking forward to see how the RZ450e feels (hopefully more than a bZ4x with a Lexus badge)!

@@Curryolla yes I totally agree with you, it's a shame they took so long to really commit to EV cars. I would have chosen the Tesla model Y too if I couldn't wait 👍

@@Curryolla In terms of comfort, how are the Model Y seats compared to Lexus seats ?

It isn't that far behind. It just looks older.

you re most welcome!

It is fake anyways, cvt doesnt have gears

@@autogefuehl I know, but would have been nice to see what the experience when using them is like.

If you prefer enthusiast machines, give up on the SUV form factor. We haven't found a way to bend physics.

=) cheers!

The hybrid tech is the best

Really? What rattles?

@@dragospahontu For me it's the driver side behind the dashboard, dealer eventually located a 'loose air duct' which fixed the issue for a few months but it has started to come back again. The passenger-side leatherette trim can be moved back and forth, no squeaking but it looks a bit cheap if someone moves their leg against it. A bit of plastic cladding from the moon roof has also fallen off.

@@TChighbury damn that sucks. It seems to me that all modern cars are made to be cheaper to assemble.

@@dragospahontu My 2016 BMW 4 series was totally solid in terms of structure and trim, just poor materials for some of the switchgear (rubber that wears off - which they have improved on the 2018 versions onwards) and ducting in the convertible roof that clogs up and needs cleaning. I also rented an Audi Q5 just prior to getting the RX and the structural quality just feels better. But I'm pretty sure this is because the RX is an ancient design and modern technology will help create a better vehicle.

@@TChighbury the Q5 really has poor materials in some areas, but structurally very solid

😂

Technically we will be in the 2000s for another 78 years 😂 than it’ll be the 2100s

@@autogefuehl Thank the gods. I still wish that was the case everywhere.
