Rav 4 prime 0-60 4.6 second’s this is 7 seconds
2 years later, i finally received my 450h and honestly its amazing, they acutally listened to you guys and changed the 360 cam situation so it doesnt spin constantly. They also fixed the volume and drive mode situation so it doesn't block the entire screen and in the corner. Many other things like the hud control, and flipping through the menus become a lot easier once you start to daily it. Otherwise great car, i cant complain for city driving. Gotta give it to toyota/lexus for what they have done with this car.

I’m looking at this car and I didn’t know that they had fixed that. I’m really on a fence with the things that Yuri showed, as those seems to be small nuisances that scale fast in terms of irritability.
350z for sure! like we can’t tell a Vq and the shape wasn’t nearly blurred enough

Wifey snatched up a 21’ Venza limited a few weeks ago. The cabin is very nice, quiet and just very sleek interior and exterior. She’s been averaging 49mpg on her work commute. 80 miles round trip with rolling hills. Get about 560-580 miles per tank. If you want luxury without breaking the bank to bad look into one. 52k OTD with the top tier warranty. Cheers

The RAV4 Prime and this is really all the car 80% of humanity needs (most don't even need the luxury of the Lexus but some of us like to have really nice things). They'll last for 20 years and you wont even have to think about it; they just run.
I have the Toyota version and I also love the car. Pretty damn quick and getting 500+miles per tank kicks ass.

@@TheStraightPipes You did, and you are a good reviewer. There's a reason over a million people, myself included are subscribed to you guys. I've watched pretty much every single one of your videos since 2018. Nothing I said takes away from any of that. I still love your content and will continue to watch it even if we disagree on some things. I just wanted to bring a counterpoint because the way you said you hated the system, I assumed the worst (since it's a new system) thinking it was plagued by lag/stability issues/etc., but luckily the problems are not significant. IMO, you guys didn't give Lexus enough credit from switching out of that old horrible touchpad. I know you're comparing to the competition and not past Lexus products, but I thought it was worth a mention at least. Anyways, thanks for the excellent work you guys put into these videos, and congrats on your new babies!
I was about to go to bed, but since this dropped I gotta watch first!
LOVE the colors of that hoodie, Yuri! 🔥🔥🔥
I love it, I just got a Jeep Wrangler 4xe and this car is definitely it on the list for my next car
This is on top of my list. I love everything about this.
Could you guys also do a test drive and review on Toyota Venza? Thanks for the in-depth reviews always!

Great video. Thank you
This looks amazing
Excellent review boys! I definitely agree that comfort is a big benefit over the Rav4 (based on your experience), but if the Lexus doesn't have the 1500w AC plug in the back then it's a no go for me. Part of the magic of the Rav4 is being able to take it camping and have it power your trailer, or other camping needs with no drama. I also have a feeling that the Rav4 has more clearance, and space for decent offroad tires, making it more of an off pavement adventurer/ski car.
Hey....you guys took out the ending jingle 😟......that little musical jingle always brings a smile to my face. But great review as always.

good info about "manually" going from Carplay to audio functions. Did you try voice commands? MIGHT work well and be much easier. "Hey Lexus, play Sirius 44"

New generation tundra is coming out soon. My dad has been holding onto his 2006 tundra all this time and is thinking about getting the new 2022 i-force max TRD Pro. I hope you guys could get a review on it when it comes out!
Did the car you review have the f sport adaptive springs? F sport seems almost the same price in the states so I think that seems like the more worthwhile version.
As always, great review guys. The added complexity of the infotainment and steering wheel is bonkers! Auto critics need to keep being critical of this ridiculous behaviour. It will lead to collisions and auto makers will need to be held responsible. Your reporting of the complexity will help make the case for outright negligence on the part of OEMs who design cars to try to compete with iPhone and iPad rather than keeping the fundamental operations of the most basic controls as simple as possible so as to eliminate unnecessary distractions!

So is this a refresh of the NX or is this a new generation? Because the standard hybrid we drove in 2018 wasn't really that much of a pleasure. Suspension wasn't great and the drive train sluggish. Have they changed the suspension?
Yuri big mad for this whole video
When it comes to the infotainment interface Lexus giveth with getting rid of the trackpad but Lexus also taketh with all the annoying issues and whiting out the screen when you adjust the volume may be the stupidest thing since capacitive touch controls. Also, Yuri and Jakub, what's your take on the new unintuitive electronic shifter?
