素晴らしいものですよ！大好きな車です！
Wow, ein echter Held 😁😁😁
Here in Norway RX 2009/2010/2011 is just a little bit cheaper over NX300h. Is NX worth buying because it is newer, or doesnt even come close to RX,even if its older generation?
The NX300H is a smaller 4cylHybrid. I would always go for the V6Hybrid but yes in cold months a many coldstarts it takes longer to warm up and warm up the cabin too. And it takes more fuel. When you only have to drive a few km around the NX could be the better one; but these 4cylHybrids are not my taste. V6 sounds nicely deep and depressing when gentle on the throttle.
A question. I see ride height indicator in the speedometer. Which trim of RX450h do you get this with? Air suspension or hydraulic?
it was only available with std or air suspension; only airsuspension does have this feature. But they had problems with the front bearings of the suspension and let it down in the next Facelift 2015. the suspension is good on good roads but to harsh on bad roads; short bumps are not well absorbed. Fortunately it has very comfy seats ! The airsuspension lowers itself in the front 10mm when driving at highway speed but in the vid i lowered it myself completely down.
Thanks for taking the time to clarify! Mine is 2010 model RX450h and I don't have that.
@@siddarthgopal2423 ok, it´s not a must have, imho. And mostle the ones with airsuspension are for sale :-) but perhaps if you not drive like a offroader its ok. But i wanted one with a HUD+sunroof. I´m excited what the next RX will be like. Hopefully they dont cancel the V6Hybrid.

yep it has a second motor at rear axle and this helps pulling these 2,2ton ship , aber natürlich kein Vergleich zum GS450h ;-)
Going to look for a 2013/2014 RX450H in the next months, wish me luck!
oh, sure i will ! 2013 was the facelift with heated steering wheel ? but for sure with a bit nicer Infotainmentmenue. Dont go with a airsuspension like me. Mine is still ok but i heard they often have a problem with the front upper ball bearing which only costs a few dollar but is integrated in the damler and they only change the whole expensive damper. There a afew russians i think who changed the bearing inside (which isnt to complicatet) and put in a shoulder ball bearing which can hold much more axial force ! ANd go for the HUD....i never will drive a car without ! Over 190000mls the spark plugs should be changed if i remember correct; which is´nt cheap too. Look out for leaks, especially waterpump which is driven by a belt. Steering wheel should be in center and car should drive perfectly straight ! The V6 should run without any vibrations and kick in smooth like silk so you only notice it by the nice deep humming sound ! open windows and accelerate from stop and brake ....no bad noises should be there. without open windows you wont here such things ! perhaps a little click is ok when brakes went from recup to braking or the opposite.If doors are noisy when driving thats not an issue...it has so many rubber on it; i spray these 2times/year with silicone and all is perfectly quiet ! inside there should be no annoying rattling or squeaks. sometimes the beltholder can do minor noise but i swear in other cars you wont here this ...but in a Lexus you hear a spider walking on the floor :-) if you buy private perhaps you should ask for a Hybrid check by a dealer; easy and fast done low cost. Ah and ask when the litttle battery in the back was changed !! Without it the car wont start at all ! Its not a normal car battery. And dont buy it if you are not happy with the driving of the car ....you should be happy after the driving ; if not....its perhaps not your model ;-)

it is a cruiser ;-) WIth such speeds you should always have enough distance to the car in front of you because the brakes are a bit to small for often and hard braking and further more the tires are only 235 which cant hold the 2,3 ship fast enough (compared to sporty or light cars) until ABS kicks in.

Exactly in the mid of the green area is a white line. If you stay below this line your engine will not kick in when engine is warm and battery has enough power left. Above this line the engine kicks in. This is a heavy car and therefore it needs power to get off and mostly engine kicks in especially when its below 10°C or so. You can save fuel when accelerate slowly ! Yes its not like a normal car. Look at the needle and green area and you will learn quickly. Sometimes i can reach 60km/h electric only by taking care of the needle to be slightly under the white line ! You have to reduce the pedal input whith increasing speed !!

very bad you did not changed for temporary fuel consumption. Do you maybe remember what is consumption at constant 200 km/h ?
Hybrids are generally not made for constant max speed; their advantage is in city and backroads driving. I remember with 140km/h i get about 11ltr/100km increasing with speed; maybe always a little bit better than a comparable 2,3ton with a 3,5ltr. non turbo V6 gasoline engine . 200km/h ?, idk; depends on surface and if up and downhill did change a bit; than the system is still able to save a bit fuel, but if area is completely flat you have minimal benefit from Hybrid at max speed; only deceleration and smooth braking gives you electric power, but not for long. over 20 ltr i think but i´m not sure and sometimes i wonder how good this thing move through the wind at high speeds; i can reduce power a lot after reaching my desired speed. Perhaps that little extra elctric power helps quite a bit to let it glide.
I agree @@kubanskiloewe about constant max speed it is not best for hybrids. But I don't suppose it is about 20 ltrs. Rather about 12-14 I think. It is V6 so it is strong enough to have this speed with quite low Rpms...

hahaha, hardly in a 2,3ton ship on wintertires 2.2bar and most time a bit uphill ....anyway its max speed is limited to 200km/h. But the Tuareg II in front weighs a bit less with no speed limit and good torque with its Diesel too ...but perhaps it was no Diesel idk exactly ;-)
@@kubanskiloewe so what is the actual top speed of this spaceship?
@@emiliospowerballer1441 as i said....its limited to 200km/h . in the vid i hit a few times the limiter and power was reduced, therefore i could´nt overtake downhill. The GS450H sedan with same powertrain but 345hp is limited at 245km/h and weighs 300-400kg less.imo.kzhead.info/sun/acOTYaWGqoWPaps/bejne.html
Bro imagine driving a truck on 160 with trailer and thsi car has speed limiter u can't go 240 with 2.3 tons ship and confort
@@kubanskiloewe this car is wonderful. Mine has 240k km and is still very quiet, comfortable and engine is smooth like silk. I really don't feel to run at 200kmh because the drive is so relaxing that I am fully satisfied at normal speed, Italian speed haha Also the hybrid help you to feel more relaxed and not stressed in traffic jam. About weight, before I drove a Alfa Romeo 145 and this Lexus is easy and feels light like the Alfa, really amazed also fro. the air suspensions at high speed on highway. Really feel loving the car more day by day. And the funny thing is that I was looking for the CT200h and got the RX450h by your video and the experience of trying it at shop.
Does anyone has to drive fast on that road?
no, i drive most times about 120-160km/h (130km/h is the rated speed on the autobahn for cars). But yes, cars get more powerful with every year and it can be dangerous sometimes to overtake a truck with 130km/h while an idiot from behind comes with over 240km/h .....a speedlimit would be more efficient indeed;.
@@kubanskiloewe lol, you do realize that you were close to 240km/h right lol
@@embrj1453 ... :-) , the tacho in every car is showing more speed.. My gps stated 208km/h and further more the Lexus Hybrid system cuts power at 200km/h and i run into this limiter a few times in this vid. On the other hand most small hatchbacks in europe can reach much over 200km/h and they are not limited !! germany´s carmakers limit their cars at 240km/h but if you pay more and do a training for a few bucks they open it up to 280km/h if the vehicle and engine can handel it. I know its idiotic but this industry is our biggest and their lobby (money ) in politics powerful. There will be no speedlimit regardless how much horror crashs we get.
@@kubanskiloewe I don't wanna even imagine a crash at that speed, we're talking about race car speeds on an uncontrolled enviroment driven by unprofessional drivers.
@@embrj1453 yep, i agree. Fortunately the training and qualifying to get a driver license in germany is on a much higher level than in our neighbour countries; especially from eastern europe. The bad thing is; these people drive also very much on our speedlimitless autobahn and their cars have no technical inspection law every 2 years as ours .
Насилует гибрид. На эконом режиме едит.

На пневме можно такие скорости позволить, на пружинах боже упаси

太不公平了 國外RX450可以到200 台灣190極限了….
english ?
7 minutes trying to beat vag ))) “nice car”
Good stuff hope you dont die from a car accident
i drive most times not more than 130-160km/h . On Autobahn even small hatchbacks or vans overtake me .....
wow lexus vs volkswagen
wolks wagen pas fiable
Зачем так насиловать авто? Гибрид не для гонок по автобану.
;-) yes, you are right and most times i drive so kzhead.info/sun/hbqLkqeyrIiKjZ8/bejne.html but the car has power a big reliable engine and runs smooth and well at high speeds too. It´s well build.
Thanks to @kubanskiloewe we can see how this car behaves with such speeds - I could find it nowhere till now - so once again: thank you for sharing your vids and for all your 'comment activity' here.
