I just saw videos of the new RX. I'm happy Lexus didn't make wholesale cosmetic changes to the model. In comparison, I don't think my 16' RX looks dated at all. I do like the changes, especially Android Auto/ Car Play, but not enough to take the $15K loss in depreciation. I will sit tight until the 5th gen comes out.

I'm but I'm upgrading from a 2004 RX330.

Yeahoo Who

I've been lurking around this site off-and-on for years. I joined not long after buying a low mileage 2006 430GS in '07. Now my wife is complaining about increased difficulty getting into the GS and she wants an RX. When the 2016 RX came out I did not like the looks, now its grown on me. She's like it all along. Plan to wait until the 2020 models are out then go shopping. Having Android Auto & Apple Car Play will keep me focused on a 2020 rather than looking for a leftover '19.

Apple Play will make many want to upgrade, and you guys are still wondering if the gen 1gps would get the update sheesh why would they!

I have been on the fence between the MDX and the RX
Driven them both, and with the 2020 upgrades, I will probably trade in my 2016 pilot and drive home in a 2020 RX. Now the question is do I get the hybrid or not?

If you drive a lot in the city I highly recommend the hybrid as it will pay for itself in MPG. Also the transmission is much better on the 450, less issues with hesitation. I have a 2017 F sport 350 because I couldn’t find a 450 F sport with all
the options I wanted. Otherwise, I would have gotten the 450.

Definitely upgrading. Just sold my 2016 about 10 days ago.

Nice to see someone else that owns the RX. Seems like the majority is leasing these cars now and days. I always wondered the true benefit of owning and selling every few years vs leasing. I’ve never leased a car before. Always owned. Obviously owning is cheaper in the long run, but buying and selling every few years? How does it pay off with the RX? If you don’t mind sharing.

I’m not the OP, but I had a 2016 Tundra TRD PRO for 3 years (owned it) and sold it for 2K more than I bought it for. Toyota has strong resale value mainly because of a reputation for reliability and longevity. If you want a fun, disposable driver, lease a BMW and turn it in while still under warranty. If you want a keeper, buy Toyota. My 2 cents.

I have a 2016RX with only 38k miles. I don't think I'll be upgrading to 2020, but I do like the carplay and a few of the updates features (lane trace, the better looking grill, more usb ports) but it's not worth changing at this time. I'll probably hangout until the 5th gen comes out myself.

Alexus415

For the "better looking grill" do you have to purchase the f sport to get that version ? If you have the triple beam and pano roof you won't need to upgrade . The difference is so minimal.

Anything groundbreaking in safety? I haven't seen anything that I remember. The rest of the updates are just fluff.

Apple Carplay/Android Auto itself is a huge reason to upgrade !

I’m not a fan of the upgrades at all, they made the RX look boring. I love the more aggressive body lines on the 2016-2019 F Sport. For those considering it for CarPlay alone, search the forums and you’ll see you can add CarPlay functionality to your existing vehicle for around $500. If they didn’t change the exterior and the only edits were the gen 10 infotainment system and suspension/handling upgrades, I’d be interested.

I’m also currently installing a wide body kit on my RX, so there’s kinda no turning back now!

Whats so great about carplay? I played with it in a rental and it was ok..
