this is by far my all time fav vehicle being that I drive a 2008 RX350. that push is for retracting the cup holders if you push in the cup holder for lager drinks.

@the_gold_canopy 7 ай бұрын

I own a 2008 400h, and I recently test drove the new F Sport 500, and it was a complete disappointment. I was super excited when it finally arrived at my local dealership, but after that test drive I decided to wait, and i'm not sure where they are getting that 0-60 number, because my 400h will chew up the 500 off the line without hesitation. Hopefully they they switch to a turbo 6 cylinder in the future, or offer a non-hybrid supercharged or turbo 6 cyclinder option. Regardless, I would still choose the 500 over any other non-Lexus model in it's class. 🏁

The engine cover has been designed to direct airflow over the motor into the turbo to help with cooling. It's nice to have one that is functional for a change. Also the four wheel steering changes at high speed so it turns in the same direction as the front wheels

Sarah your review of this car is without doubt the best I have watched (and I've watched pretty much all of them). Your honest review and camera shots of all angles underneath was refreshing. I need to test drive one but I'm a little underwhelmed at the whole package at the price point. Currently driving a 2018 rx450h and I tow with mine, so not sure this four pot will be a wise replacement. Thanks for your hard work and input Sarah 👍🙂

I believe the 500 is in reference to the size of engine that would produce the equivalent amount of power as the hybrid drivetrain (so basically toyota made it up), previous lexus models were always designated by engine size... gs400 had the 4.0L 1uzfe, gx470 had the 4.7L 2uzfe, etc.

@ecputube1 Жыл бұрын

The BMW 745 of yore was a 3.2L (later 3.4L) straight six, with turbo. The turbo output was about 40% higher than the normally aspirated, so 3.2 x 1.4 = 4.45 "virtual" liters. So maybe Lexus is doing some German voodoo.

What you describe with the " disconnect" between drive trains was a reason I got rid of my old Honda mechanical AWD SUV. the rear drive train would only engage and help move the vehicle exactly when you needed it to NOT to... it was a heart-attack driving it in the snow. Ford/Volvo's Flex AWD which I moved to in 2018 does the same thing but with much less heart jumping. I honestly think hybrids need to be either gas generator hybrids or plugins, not a combo of IC engines for thrust and electric motors to cheat the system.

I don't car for the infotainment setup, however. The dash/center stack of the 2023 ES 350 is far superior. But, I'm an official geezer and I like buttons and toggles. As always, terrific review!
