Is the Lexus RX350h expensive simply because it's a Lexus?
This time, we lifted the LEXUS RX350h AWD, which costs around 8 million yen, and examined everything from the normally hidden undercarriage to the actual driving experience.
Looking from underneath, we see:
DRS (Drag Reduction Steering) for steering the rear wheels
E-Four (Electric-driven rear suspension)
Elaborate multi-link rear suspension
Damping force control by AVS (Adaptive Variable Suspension)
Cushioning around the fuel tank
A flat underside of the vehicle
Meticulous attention to heat shielding and clearance
Service holes designed for easy maintenance
Even in inconspicuous areas, we can see the meticulous craftsmanship.
And when actually driving, the ride feels soft, yet the vibrations subside quickly, road noise is minimal, and the hybrid regeneration and engine presence feel very natural.
Individually, nothing is flashy, but it feels like the accumulation of these small details contributes to the "Lexus-like quality."
Does it justify a price tag of around 8 million yen?
First-class automotive mechanic Ohbayashi will examine the undercarriage structure and its connection to the actual driving experience.
*This video includes Ohbayashi's personal maintenance experience and assessment based on his observation of the actual vehicle.
Vehicle specifications and equipment may vary depending on the grade and year.

今回のRXは、派手な装備ひとつというより、足回り・遮音・制御・乗り味など、細かい部分の積み重ねに「高級車らしさ」を感じました。
「ここならお金を払う価値がある」逆に「そこまで必要ない」と思う部分、ぜひ教えてください。
レクサスに限らず、乗ってみて「高い理由が分かった車」や「価格ほど違いを感じなかった車」の話も大歓迎です。
