When going into a new car showroom of the big german luxury car brands, I am always fascinated with apparent obsession of the sales persons with specs... all of it they trow at you. At the moment the mention the words “road-feel”, I stop them, and I say: I do not want to feel anything of the road, I want to be isolated from the elements as much as possible.. Then the defensive talk starts, where they try to convince you of the road holding, and performance. With a Lexus, like this RX, performance is not so important. It has to be adequate. Its all about comfort and safety. I am so glad that Lexus still build cars for a large group of people that want the maximum comfort, soft ride, low noise levels, beautifully build, combined with the highest possible reliability and safety.

6:08 the way the window slows down before it closes is pure class

who else loves this car

the truth is apart from Rolls Royce and Bentley Lexus make the most comfortable cars to drive. Far much more comfortable than their German rivals and match them in luxury and quality as well. This Rx is awesome just like other Lexus cars and suv's. Then it's the most reliable brand in the world, u can't go wrong with a Lexus.

"58 grand which is a lot of money." Yeah these days thats Golf GTI money. 😂

You know Lexus infortainment system isn't that difficult, ....once you find out there's an enter button on the side

as a Q7 owner would just tried one of those, i must say i was impressed by ride quality, seats and silence. It felt really, really nice. Dash was a little toyota-ish but seriously impressed I was...for comfort and value...hard to beat.

My step mom has one of these and the ride is sooo smooth. I know accelerating you get that constant tone from the engine but having it at the same rpm with the electric motors makes it a very smooth ride and the suspension and seats are amazing too

Haha! Died at 2:57, "all the hybrid stuff like batteries..." *points at some AA batteries* :D Love those small things you do to make it more enjoyable to watch Matt, you're awesome ;)

Ventilated seats are such a nice luxury to have with large SUV's. More companies should offer them

As Range Rover driver quoted $6000 to fix a failed PTU unit for a 9 years car, I’m sick of paying my hard earned money to fix manufacturer issues, my next car will be Lexus.

at the very end just caught you saying 'N'X and replaced the sound with 'R' ;p

That paint job is gorgeous.

Just picked up an F Sport version. Mat the Infotainment system is perfectly fine after a day of playing around with it, the heads up display is good. I don’t have the sunroof but that ok. The boot is big enough for most. The ride and handling is very good In F-sport trim with the adjustable dampers. I have also managed to get the mpg graph to 60mpg, not that often, but it is possible. The G meter is a nice toy, Loving it so far. Surprising how often you can drive in electric mode around town, even at short bursts... every drop counts..

It's such a pretty car to look at, very futuristic but well balanced. Only for that reason I would prefer it over the Germans.

People will talk shit, but I actually love the styling!

This car is amazing. If buy this over the x5 any day M

Hey Carwow could u include reliability as part of your reviews because although these new cars will be reliable out of the factory it’s a buying concern for long term ownership n those seeing this video in the future and buying the car second hand. If you compare the reliability of Lexus cars compared to other Brand’s the Lexus will certainly have extra points

i love how you guys put real AA batteries under the boot floor. lol

The best suv in its segment

Thanks for lifting up the trunk floor panel, Mat. I am delighted to see that they use a handful of AA batteries to power this vehicle.

My mate just bought the new version of this - looks amazing imo. Its in F-Sport trim and honestly it looks so aggressive i love it! Interior quality is amazing and now that it has CarPlay/Auto its got no big flaws imo. Where’s the vid for the new one Matt?

I love Lexus. They are dependable, solid-built cars but They suck at Europe market.

I do agree about the look of the screen, but the mouse with its haptic response when you land on a button to be pressed helps keep your eyes on the road For size, price, mileage on the petrol version, the RX 350 was the way to go. I was able to fit a boxed 70 inch television in it to take home from the electronics store.

Lamborghini Urus = Lexus RX

As a long term owner of the f-sport version it's a wonderful car to own. Reliable, comfortable, powerful and luxurius. No one builds a better made car. The big plus for me is lexus after sales care....no o e does customer service like lexus. It's hard now looking anywhere else for me. The comfort over long distances can't be ovetstated but fuel economy is poor. Long term I manage about 29mpg. Its worth it though for the ownership experience.

The Lexus boot is big for most ppl and a slow boot opening is good cos if u r in a small place and then u realise that the boot can’t open u can shut it

There is a strange discrepancy between the title, which says "2018", and the published date, which is July 2016. Also, regarding boot space, there is now the L variant, which extends the boot.

i agree with you. just tested NX200t yesterday and the infotainment system is terrible. it look sophisticated but clumsy to use. german is always better in it.. but the rests are good

Just purchased a RX450h Executive Tecno. Will pick it up next week. Love the thing, great addition to my GS450h.

Not my favourite colour, but somehow I really like the car! Perhaps it'd look great in black!

4:35 - 3.5 litre V6.

A used RX hybrid is high on my list for my next car

I think the mouse pad is good and easy to use once u get a hang of it

1:42 wow, at last, I know who is the cameraman!! Haha, got cha, you cannot always hide behind the scene!!

Matt is a legend ... keep up the good work

Best car REviewER. Informative enough and fun. Thanks.

it never breakdown. Maintenance cost is the least among rivals. that what lexus sells.

Slow motor trunk? i don't understand the problem, it is good for security and for not make mistakes

One of the best I've driven...I love it

So in England, there are no chimes when you open the driver and front passenger doors? I know you guys were behind, but man; this far!

I would like to see Matt on main stream TV - maybe even Top Gear...nice likable guy and very knowledgeable...

Great review as usual. One thing - the expression is “head up” display not “heads up” . How many heads have you got Matt?

should you be reviewing the sound systems these cars, please?

Love the interior , but hate the exterior

Wait for this channel to upload videos eagerly . good job matt

I really like it! It has modern, futuristic design, sharp lines and it is different. Darker colors looks better on this design. Especially the dark blue. The car is very interesting, there is nothing similar on the market. Too bad that people have so much prejudices... Regards

44mpg real world for a 2 ton luxo barge! Now that is impressive!

Head up display as standard!! Super!

Please do a review on the new Lexus RX!

Mat is little nervous about the elite quality of this car. He is a very unbiased Brit.!!

Carwow I have a question... Why dont you guys review Subaru cars. At least like the forester or the impreza????

To all the Lexus haters! SUPER luxurious to drive Build quality IMPECCABLE Comfy ride this is coming from a proper expert who knows his cars. Talk bad about Lexus now?

I didn't expect the review to be more enjoyable than the car itself. Though it's one of the fewest cars I'd like to have. Cool!

Some love the look. Some hate it but being an X6M driver, it’s pretty comfortable for long rides :)

please review Lexus RXL 2020 the new 7 seater.

I have the older generation rx i bought it new way back in 2009 it's got 248000 miles on it now no problems what so ever absolute brilliant vehicle no oil burning or leak s same thing for water, no leak s also last but not least no rattles or squeak s ,i would buy another in a heartbeat a i more than likely will soon but I want to get 300000 miles first there is only one problem i hope Iast that long hoho s

Lexus infotainment need 1 week to be easy with. After you won't think about it. I think you shouldn't have count it in negative part. For me the most negative would be that some parts of the interior are made with hard plastic while germans put smooth plastic everywhere.

Shame they’re so small inside. Was on my shortlist for next car but I’m 6ft 1in tall and the side of my head was touching the roof in ideal driving position, so have to sit too low to avoid. Plus, I tried middle back seat and it was like being hunched up in a small compact hatchback, just couldn’t believe it considering outside dimensions of car. Such a shame as I really liked the quality and wanted to test drive but wow, very compact interior

CARWOW deserve more subscribers, common guys lets share videos. :)

please review for LX- 570.

"Some cars look like Animals" 😂😂😂😂😂True😂😂😂😂😂😂

The 5 things that he dislikes about the car are not really inconveniencies. So, the car is flawless in my opinion. I daily drive an X5 50i 2016 but this Lexus seems a very good choice.

I love your shoes... Great colour

no one does a review like Mat!

I rmb the time Matt said in his old carbuyer video abt the Lexus GS, he said he prefers the infotainment system of the Lexus over the Germans lol

can you do the Lexus LX 570 2018...pls pls pls pls

audio levels are all over the place!!

We're still deciding between this RX450h and the all-new Kia Carnival mini van.

Congrats on you 1M subs, Matt! My name is also Matt, and while I'm American, I hold fast to my British heritage, therefore we share a special kinship hahaha

Love this SUV!

I want one. The early one of this Mark is getting affordable at last. Need to dump the diesel. Went to test drive one today.. amazing car. Was'nt that bad on the CVT acceleration. If you take your foot off the accelerator for just a second. Dont think its really for heavy footers. The boot isnt tall but area is ok. Very nice car to drive and plenty of accelation when needed. Mat I dont think you spend enough time in some of these cars you test.. still very good reviews.

Nice car, but it's clearly designed for American markets, hence no diesel, beeping sounds etc. The biggest problem I have with it is that you either have to go for 2-litre front-wheel drive (not what you expect in this class) or the hybrid system which is getting outdated, this 3.5L V6 + electric motors unit has been used for quite a while and is slow and not as efficient compared to modern hybrids (although 44mpg is quite good to be honest, didn't expect that)

Head up display standard ❤️

And still no Lexus LC500 review.....

Do Mercedes CLA 2017 facelift next

When will you make a review of the Volvo XC90 T8?

Nice review as always Mat. I agree, the infotainment system does the job but is not as easy to use as the, for example, the BMW idrive. Otherwise, Lexus cars are superb.

the open door alarm is obviously not for the driver, genius

Lexus started building rx450h in 2009 I think wonder if anyone knows if used ones are any good? Is hybrid used car Pandora box best avoided? Any comments anyone?

2:56 😂😂😂 good one Matt am sure you made the Lexus good boy list

Publishing in 2016, a car review about a 2018 model year car, how ?

I really like the way you explain men i luv youre channel .. Good luck

top design ever......the future of design

Odd. He liked the mouse on the CT....

I'm here after seeing top 15 reliable cars.

But should we shortlist it or should we buy it, Mat?! Please tell us!

why my uncle got rid of his s class for this I'll never know

Hello! What car do you think is offering the softest drive: GS 450h or RX 450h?

Shame, after driving a CVT transmission for a few years, I won't get another car with this. The drone never gets easy to hear.

Hey Matt, when can you get your hands on a 2016 Mazda CX-9?

£58k > £18k in 3 years?

Mat... all Lexus 450H models have the 3.5 ltr v6. GS, RX, LS etc.

I need to buy my mum this car one day. It’s okay she took care of me I need her to get an RX not an NX

Who wants to see a 360 version of this

Man Lexus in recent years. I'm sure the Toyota frugal DNA is still found here and there, but they are making beautiful cars.

Can you do a review of 2017 toyota harrier?

When do you think you’ll be able to review the new Rx 450h Top man 👍🏻

ok - so what about Rx200t (nonhybrid ver)...worth 2buy?... ford edge vs rx200t...only reason against rx is fuel consumption-otherwise i would hesitate....whats ur opinion?
