Alright it looks nice and clean from the outside, but there's something to it that makes me question whether it is RUGGED and TOUGH enough for my daily trip through the Starbucks drive through

I firmly believe that one of the hardest things to do in life is make a video about the RX interesting to watch. The media embargo concerning the RX must have expired today as my KZfaq dashboard was (to my dismay) flooded with boring shots of a real snoozer of a car. Just about lost it and gave up on KZfaq for the day, but you guys brought me back to my center and made it possible for me to get through without having to watch another RX video. Thank you for your service.

Sometimes you gotta take a step back to go forward. I like a rear bias. Unbelievably well done. Thank you for this.

That is probably my favorite intro you guys have ever done. 🤣

The suspension in these new SUVs has gotten crazy good. So much less body roll than 15 years ago.

A first drive on this channel gives more information than a full review of many other channels.

That is the best intro to a Lexus review I’ve ever seen. Final days.

I've watched an awful lot of your videos, but just now I really noticed how great the spoken audio quality is during your test drives. Well done.

Lexus has done a great job. The RX has always been a solid product and I'm sure it'll just be better.

Always excited when you drop a Lexus video. I first came across this channel when I was researching the 2015 RX - which I ended up buying, and I still consider your video on that model a benchmark for well-rounded car reviews.

I was pleasantly surprised when a coworker let me pilot his new Rx. The ride is sublime if you are disinterested in any sort of driving performance. It is fine product and will outlive most owners, given proper maintenance.

Thanks for the intro. I haven’t peed my pants from laughter in a while. Regards.

You guys are hilarious. The videos keep getting better

Sad to see the V6 options gone. But rear steer is a surprise for this vehicle.

Finally, I've been waiting for this one from you forever.

Looks like a great car. We just got a rav4 hybrid for my wife and their hybrid system is incredibly smooth and works really well. I would get the 2.5L hybrid option if I was purchasing this.

I've never heard of you guys before this video. And this review was so well done that I decided to subscribe after the video done. Please continue making reviews telling us who each car is made for. As someone who isn't a gearhead, I'd like to know who each car is made for. I feel like most reviewers overlook this, and doing this makes the content more palatable and less confusing. So thank you for that.

I am so glad your channel is doing the new RX’s review. Nice job and this is going to be my next new car! HaHa I like the “technical” disruption! Love this channel where the other YTubers review don’t even get close!!!

So glad to see paint-matched fenders. 🙏😍

The T24a engine is actually quite reliable. It is simply an A25A engine that has thicker cylinder walls, better cooling, and old school variable valve timing. Its actually MORE old school than the 2.5NA A25A engine. So this engine will last. Just because it has a turbo doesn't mean it will break, its just that germans suck at making reliable turbo cars (late alone the korean makers).

Looking forward to your full review and you are the only one who compared it to NX. Great job as always👍

Thanks, looking forward to the full review.

I think at present I'd spring for a final year previous generation RX350 with the old school V6 motor. Smooth, refined and bulletproof reliable. There are too many new things on this Lexus like rear steer, turbocharging (not going well with the Tundra motor) and lots of unproven tech. I'd give it a few years.

I love their combination of driving skill, vehicle knowledge, and don't give an eff attitude.

this colour looks amazing especially under the sunlight ! wooow

Damn, the white with the black roof and trim looks good 👍🏿😊

I’m pretty sad to see the v6 go, but I’m happy for all the other improvements made. Edit: Hopefully the engine isn’t harsh on acceleration. The old v6 was smooth as butter.

Man, that intro took a turn. How delightful! I wonder if you could be a guest director (or writer) for the new Aliens TV series coming up? This new RX looks pretty nice, I'll have to take one for a rip, but I dunno, might be hard pressed to lose our 2015, man that thing has been SUPER reliable (as we all know).

I LOVE THE INTRO!!!!!!

Looks like a nice ride. The new infotainment systems is a massive improvement over the old one. But the Michelin pilot sports on the press car is kind of overkill for a RX

600k and climbing Way to go Mr. Goose! PS : this was a fun one to watch 😄

7:29 - Late 40s to early 50s empty nesters are pretty rare given kids are had later in life and staying at home until 25+.

As always, great video. I can’t wait till you guys review the rivian R1S. As the plant is In Illinois, hopefully they give you guys a jump ahead the line

Omg.... that "Copper Crest" color is gorgeous. That vehicle, in the 500h variety and in that color, is probably the most magnificent vehicle I've ever seen. I need one.

Great understated tribute to Queen Elizabeth with the intro lifestyle segment.

599K. Congrats on the big 600!! Well deserved!

Great review

As a TexPat it was great to see what a Lexus RAV4 owner does on his commute from Austin to his Full-Auto-Heli-Russian Boar hunt reservation. You’re real men now. You’ll forever hold that experience over the heads of lesser transplants like S3XY and JRE.

Lmao - that intro scene was a complete flurry of emotions - actually closely resembling same exact way I felt after driving a 2022 GX460.

Savagegoose? More like, SavageGOAT. Keep rockin' those videos, brother.

that color is amazing 😍

Gotta have a dark sense of humor for that intro... I love it!!

Best intro ever.

4:36 YIKES. The amount of bezel on that lower infotainment trim is astonishingly insulting. If I got into any car with a center screen that looked like that I'd dismiss it immediately. Touchscreens are wildly inferior to rotary knob style interfaces. 2018 Audi MMI and the like were the peak of human-machine interaction in cars, but now automakers forego spending money on designing a good looking dashboard with quality hardware and just slap the customer in the face with a Fisher Price Etch A Sketch. Easily the worst trend in car design right now. Toyota and Lexus are the worst offenders, besides Kia/Hyundai for the comically terrible bezels, but every automaker should take their touchscreens and shove them. After being in several cars with them I can tell you it is so distracting to operate while driving that I don't know how it makes DOT approval. Much more unsafe than using a smartphone. God I hate the general direction the auto industry is moving these days. Automakers these days be like: Put a heavy, useless and dirty-to-make EV battery cell and an etch a sketch dashboard in a car, price it at $80,000 because we're cash-strapped and have to compete with dumbass shit like the Mustang Mach E and call it a day.

Nice review! Whats up with that grille/front fascia?

Great video. Can't wait for the GR Supra Manual video!

Intro 10/10

I really didn't think mark was even going to do a press launch video for this. When I saw it I had a feeling he was going to troll a bit. It's a competent vehicle and it's improves at the things people like Lexus for.

Great review guys and fantastic country music at the start! Do you know if the new 500h has a towing capacity commensurate with the outgoing rx450h?

You guys are the best

liked, commented and subscribed for the algorithm!

That's one helluva intro

I was Lexus review 'drunk' by the end of this video, the content is that strong!

Everyone I know who has had a luxury car of any kind and then tried a lexus, says the same thing. "It is the smoothest vehicle I have ever driven". Nuff said.

Thank you for this channel. That is all.

Well you guys inspire me,, just got my RX350 premium plus last night::: I must say I’m static about it 👍😎👌

I rather the old V6. Proven power plant. Reliable like the tides.

Interesting intro to this video

The music at 5:03 sounds like the opening scenes of a early 2000s college humor movie like when the kids are walking to class.

600k sooooo close !!! Cmon guys let's get it!

I just loved the intro. You guys are so damn snarky.

That intro was fucking gold

I really like the fact it comes with a RTX reference card on the center console

#Looseasagoose Great first look as always fellas

Still the best auto channel on the toob.

This right here my friends wins best color of year award. Bravo Lexus. 👏

Every mom will love this car

Excellent, thank you for the content!

Best intro so far 😂

The music choice leading into the Driving Impressions was *mwua*

I thumbs up'd just for the intro

That color is freakin beautiful...

3:34 and on points to a closable shade on that pano roof, bonus in my book

Great work Geese. Lexus has done brilliantly in terms of exterior and interior design with this. The pure petrol will probably be the best bet for longevity. Wonder if the IS will get this treatment at some point, just fear the V6 will be eliminated completely in newer generations of ES and IS.

I’m sorry but people who trash this refresh and say that this is a rebranded Toyota need to understand a number of things. 1) It’s not just about looks but also ride quality. This car drives far better than a Toyota like the Venza. It has more personality, quieter, and speaks to you. 2) The engine has more horsepower than any of the Toyota products while giving you A LOT of fuel economy unlike its competitors in this segment. 3) Lexus has a 55% resale value after 5 years due to its engine reliability unlike the Germans who lose so much value just right after you drive out of the dealer. 4) What more do you expect from a car though? To be like the Batmobile? To have Iron Man’s suit capability?

Waiting eagerly for your RX 500h full review.

When is comes to handling, what I want to know is, when on the interstate and you get run off the road into the center median, do you come safely to a stop or end up on your roof in the apposing lanes.

So is it smooth enough? I'm not sure you addressed the point directly. Love your work.

For sure a big improvement.

Don't drink and drive kids. Even in Napa Valley. On a serious note (lol), I do love how meta SG is about their press event coverage. Most people would look at the Target demographics and taylor their review to those people. SG makes it part of the coverage. The car industry is the story. Not just the car

Looks like Lexus is heading into the 2020's (about time)

Bro this intro killed me 😂

Your humor probably flies over the heads of most viewers. A goofy dance around the vehicle with some phony enthusiasm would get you more subs

A great appliance

Noon here in Europe... do you upload videos in alignment with our lunch breaks now?! More bullion to you!

OMG that intro

2:08 That is the first time I remember seeing that effect outside of video games, which is really sad, considering in this video it does not break immersion, while it does in every video game. (keyword Verschlimmbesserung.) 3:25 Interesting choice: Either eyes straight on the road during a crawl all the time or hands off the wheel and/or eyes off - basically FULL FREEDOM - in unassisted mode. 5:36 Lex - the dark zone. (I like black calipers.) 7:24 So they are targeting a super-niche market. 😏 (A creative visionary would be someone who thinks lens dirt/flaring in a first person video game is stupid. ... Oh wait, no, I think those are called terrorists now.) 8:27 Every time you say that brand name now I am thinking of the "Honda e".

I'm glad Lexus _is_ no longer stuck in the early 2010s. The infotainment is exasperating and I'm glad someone at Toyota determined them to expunge the touchpad tbh. Lexus is getting back in action slowly and I quite like the latest RX + I hope the LS gets more refined and I wish it came with a V8 as it's more essential than the 3.5 electricified V6 optionally offered...

Gorgeous vehicle

Only thing lacking is the RX 500H's transmission to improve 0-60 times and mpg

Lexus should’ve had you guys test the RX out on some rough streets or on the freeway somewhere with real world traffic. Not some planned out setting with perfectly paved roads where nobody truly drives on. That would have been an honest test drive to see how well the new RX rides and can smooth out the roughest roads and highways.

That copper color is hotness.

It’s smooth enough to keep my brain smooth

Off topic I'm looking at to purchase Gt 350 and have heard they have real bad engine issues. Do you know anything about it. Thanks

does anyone know how they got the POV look? How was the camera mounted?

Toyota has been in the hybrid game longer than anyone and their hybrid systems are rock solid. The only thing to worry about is the turbo system but even that manufacturers have pretty much figured it out.

Smooth operator

Mark, did you get that "WOW!" feeling driving on the ocean shores (or bottom)?

I heard this video inspired Kubrick to get into film. Incredible.

Y'all crazy with that opening 🤣
