I've often said it's the overall comfort of the Lexus RX that keeps it a top seller for the brand. I like the design updates, especially that dark green. Lexus is determined to keep the RX competitive, can't wait to see the 3rd row replacement for the "L" - on guard GV80.
@MilesPerHr Жыл бұрын
The comfort factor is a big one, agreed. We'll see if a three row version comes as an RX or something else!

The comfort factor isn’t really exclusive to the RX You can find more comfortable options now. Aviator with the air suspension, MDX type S with the air suspension, x5 with the air suspension, grand Cherokee summit with the air suspension etc.

I just bought (ordered it 8 months ago... supply chain delays) a 2022 RX 450H F-Sport Handling package. Love it. I’m mostly city driving and let me tell you smooth, quiet, comfortable, and taking a sharp turn at 35mph, no lean at all. Love this car. I’m intrigued by the 2023 500h but nervous the 4 cylinder turbo will require more maintenance than the most reliable V6 engine ever built. If that turbo proves reliable and... Lexus puts back its hard drive mode control switch knob, I may trade this one in for a 500h in a couple of years.

0:58 I'm sorry, I've never heard of "Niro" Green. Did you mean to say "Nori" Green? In Japanese, there are multiple words for different types of what Americans classify in one word, seaweed. Nori is a type of seaweed (in Japanese) that ranges from green to a dark brownish color. I don't understand why some people switch up letters when reading words in Japanese... just read it as its spelled, its not like English where the pronounciation of the same letters or the same cluster of letters isn't correspondent for each word.

Hard to find "luxury" cars these days which actually prioritize comfort over "sportiness." I'm sure journalists will love "F-Sport" but the hard seats, firm steering and suspension, and the shift away from comfort towards "high-tech" (which is what defines luxury these days) does nothing for me as someone who wants their crossover to be a soft, smooth, roomy, cushy daily driver. All it takes is a ride in a 15 year old RX to remember how comfortable luxury used to be.

Power data shows that 42% of Lexus RX owners are female (vs. 38% for the segment), that their median age is 65 (vs. 58 for the segment), and that their median annual household income is $155,303 (vs. $184,248 for the segment).
