Just too difficult to do the most basic tasks. It will kill your cell phone in hours constantly talking to it. False alarms daily, being a "guest" in your own car as it doesn't see you cell this time. Ok so forget all computer graduate degree to make the car work... It is noisy until you get it cruising, then it's fine. You can certainly hear the little 4 cylinder working away. It's also working on the gas tank. No where near the mileage in city driving as per Lexus quotes. NOT even close! Highway is fine, it's actually better than advertised. Interior is nice, comfy and seems like it will wear well. Just don't wash it before a cold snap or you will be locked out. The door locks are different, but easy to get used to. They just freeze when it gets cold. Oh, and you will have to tell everyone how to get out of the car. The fit and finish is not very good. Fish-eyes in the paint, dirt covered with clear coat. door panels not consistent spacing and gas door sticks out. I'm not sure why but I have had to have the car boosted three times. Lexus not sure why either so they replaced the battery. Not too impressed with this new model. And now my insurance rates have skyrocketed due to likelihood of theft! Big mistake, trading it in soon and put this nightmare behind me. Lexus hold their value better than most? I don't think so, offered $36G less than I paid for it after only 4 months.

Just your generic crossover appliance

This is a great no-brainer choice as a premium crossover for most folks. It does all that you want it to without letting itself be known. For me however, it’s a bit too bland compared to the last generation which I owned as a 2021 model. This new redesigned model just dials in the the mundane core qualities of the old model a lot better, which were: comfort, ease of drive, calmness, and relaxation. Everything else they’ve either thrown out the window or changed in some way shape or form. It lacks the smooth plush ride to a small extent in favor of more firm and dynamic handling. Not as articulate over rough roads and bumps for a more aggressive drive. Quieter to an extent but, a louder and rather ordinary sounding 4cyl engine. And overall cheaper materials inside and out, although still excellent fit and finish. Given all these changes I don’t think paying $60k (what I paid) for a car like this is worth it. You can do much better with other cars in its class and/or price range. My most favorite things are probably some the improved tech and features, and the styling inside and out. Love the ambient lighting, soft materials, modern design, and exquisite exterior design. It looks both classy and modern. I get head turns and compliments quite a lot. And the technology is very seamless and helpful once you tailor everything in, and learn how it all works. Great car, if not a bit overpriced, and lacks some luxury characteristics that traditional luxury car buyers may still want. I wouldn’t say this is a true luxury car anymore, but rather just a premium and ordinary appliance.

TOO LOUD engine. It sounds like a tractor going up slight incline. Engine is so loud you cannot hear radio inside the car. Please test drive before purchasing. Not powerful at all. Merging into highway is very slow. Technology is great. Again 4 CYLINDER ENGINE IS TOO LOUD LIKE A TRACTOR.

My wife and I purchased the vehicle a few days ago. At the dealer, they set up everything for us, but in my name. We had some issues, but we got it all working. Once we got the vehicle in our garage, we decide to start from scratch, reset everything and set it up my wife's profile as a primary - since she's the one who'd be using this vehicle. We wanted to set up two profiles, one for her, and one for me for the times when I'd be driving, and save the settings for each. We also wanted to disable things we thought were not every useful, such as the "Lexus puddle lamp" when we open the doors. A puddle lamp is useful, to display the word "Lexus" on the ground instead, probably not! As a FYI, I am a systems engineer for an MSP (I handle IT personally for many companies), so I have a pretty good understanding of IT. We both have android phones (I don't trust Apple, based on previous experience, and IOS doesn't provide the customization I need) Here is what happened: I downloaded the Lexus App on my wife's phone, reset the infotainment console, and set up the vehicle as hers. I paired her phone via bluetooth and got the Android App working as expected. I set up her favorite music (the Lexus has a good sound system), so she can listen to music as she drives, answer calls, etc. Everything worked as expected. I did notice that the display was a little slow to respond, but tolerable. One weirdness I noticed - you cannot make vehicle adjustments, such as seat position, lighting, etc, unless the engine is on. Also, some personal settings that my 2018 Corolla SE has (for example, to switch off the headlights when you open the door, change the color of the dashboard display, etc,) are not available. I would say that customization is there, but USEFUL customization is highly limited. IMHO, of course. I switched off the vehicle and went back into the house to take a break. I returned 5 minutes later and started up the SUV, to set up my profile. The vehicle display started up, and.. it just became a white screen! So I powered off, waited a bit, powered on again, and it came up. However, all the settings had reset; the profile I had spent half an hour building had disappeared and the profile had become "Guest". I reviewed the menus, found the profile again and attempted to change to it. The infotainment system asked me to pair again with the Lexus app, and set up a PIN, which I did. When I tried to change the profile, it said it didn't have an internet connection and refused to change from “Guest”! I decided to do a factory reset and start from scratch. When I went to the menu to do a factory reset, and clicked on it, nothing happened. I couldn't even do a factory reset! However, the bluetooth was still paired to my wife's phone and Android Auto worked (mostly) as designed. I also realized, like many folks have mentioned in various reviews, that the Lexus system is not very intuitive, and since my wife is not in IT, it'd be confusing for her. So we decided we'd just forget the profiles (which, admittedly, was not very useful, without adequate vehicle customization), and use Android Auto only. My wife likes the look of the Lexus, so we'll keep it, but RAV4 next time, which I'm told, works far better :-)

Dashboard constantly pulls apart, paint has bubbled and continues to do so in multiple places, the steering wheel is coming apart and now the plastic above brake in falling down making driving the car dangerous. Bought this for my daughter a year ago Have also loved Lexus and was excited they were coming out with a full size SUV. Was planning on swapping from Infiniti after 20 years but will not being doing so now.
