#Lexus #lexusrx #rx450h #PHEV #hybrid
This is no doubt the best Lexus RX ever made, but it's also very pricey. Is it worth the money over the #lexusnx 450h? or the #rav4prime ?
RX-first Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle
EPA-estimated combined 83 MPGe rating
Standard Luxury grade
Available Traffic Jam Assist*
Starting MSRP of $70,080 (includes Delivery, Processing and Handling Fee)
Available by the end of 2023
RX-First Plug-In Hybrid Powertrain
Powered by a high-capacity lithium-ion battery paired with a 2.5-liter inline 4-cylinder engine (shared with NX), the 2024 RX 450h+ hybrid system has a manufacturer-estimated combined 83 MPGe rating. The system provides luxury performance and consistent acceleration off the line with an estimated 6.2 second 0-60 time. The RX 450h+ has an EPA-estimated 37-mile driving range rating on electric power only.
The RX450h+ comes equipped with a Level 1 vehicle-charging cable for 120V outlets and all models are equipped with a J1772 (Type 1) socket for at-home and public charging. A high-output, high-efficiency system designed to reduce power loss when converting from AC power to DC power results in faster charging times. Using the maximum charging current of 240V and under ideal conditions, the Lexus RX 450h+ can be fully charged in approximately two-and-a-half hours using the standard 6.6 kW Onboard Charger.
The RX 450h+ utilizes an electronically controlled, full-time AWD system for a confident, sporty driving experience, led by Lexus Driving Signature vehicle fundamentals. Optimizing front and rear torque distribution according to the driving conditions, the driver can control the vehicle as preferred throughout varied road conditions and driving styles.
As the first luxury brand to offer a hybrid in the segment, it’s only fitting that RX offers a variety of electrified powertrains. Building on the all-new redesign of the iconic crossover vehicle last year, Lexus adds the much-anticipated plug-in hybrid to the electrified lineup. The 2024 Lexus RX 450h+ offers standard luxury elements, intuitive technology, and thoughtful in-cabin features.

In the Netherlands tested against Cayenne and LR Sport. The RX was considered the far best build, materials and fit and finish, most economical to, as will as quietest car around. It was not considered as sportive as the Porsche or Landrover however. Source: Autovisie, well established car magazine in the Netherlands.

@davet7184 8 дней назад

I own one and LOVE it!!! In the summer it says that it gets ~72KM=45 MI of electric Range, which in reality is likely 40-42MI. In the Canadian winter it is roughly 45KM=28MI... but that is with the heater running on full constantly. It is exceptionally quiet and smooth. The only thing I wish it had was the GH display behind the steering wheel. The 9" display isn't very customizable and could be improved. The passenger seat has memory for 3 settings also, but oddly, you can't use them while driving... on the driver side, that makes sense, but not on the passenger. If you get the high end Executive Package, it is only a couple grand more than RX350H, atleast that is what it is in Canada with our packaging. After 6 months of ownership, the only time we use Gas is on our 1100 Mile trips. Great Review Kirk!!

I've had my 2023 luxury RX 350h AWD with pretty much every option with the same interior you have here for a little over a year. I love the light interior and the bamboo inlay. It does give good vibes, just very soothing. I laughed when you said that because that interior was a must have for me once I had seen it. I'm always pondering what changes I'd make to the car, I can't really think of anything. Like would I rather have a bigger engine? No, I mean it's not super powerful but it gets the job done, it's not supposed to be a sports car and living with California gas prices I'd rather just save the money. With the hybrid motor assist it feels as fast as my Kia Optima turbo and gets much better gas mileage and much more space and better in basically every way. I also like that is basically has a Camry engine so parts are easily available and inexpensive. Firmer or softer suspension? No. More expensive interior materials? Not really if it means the car would have to be more expensive. Larger or smaller? Not really, we're easily able to fit all of our Costco runs. It's pretty hard for me to think of ways to improve on it. Maybe a little better visibility out the back. I think the fact that you eventually have to pay a subscription fee for the traffic assist is BS. The question is if you're getting the fully maxed luxury 350h if it's worth just going to the 450h+ because at that point its only like a $8k difference and you could save a lot of fuel.

@ag4eng 8 дней назад

Own a 2024 RX 450h+. Under 1500 miles and it is currently in the shop for the 3rd time due to an unidentified parasitic power draw that keeps draining the 12v battery and totally bricking my car. This is a known problem with not just the RX 450h+ but also the NX 450h+, RAV4 Prime, and now also looks like it might be impacting the Prius Prime (start googling the various forums). Appears that many owners have been installing trickle chargers as a work around. Lexus needs to get their act together and fix this issue ASAP because it has been going on since the introduction of the NX/RAV plug-in. Besides this, however, I really like the vehicle especially compared to the gas RX loaners I have been driving.
