Lexus has been in the hybrid-making business for quite some time, so it's no surprise it makes some of the best. The RX 450h's bold styling could be a polarizing point for buyers, but its combination of impressive attention to detail, interior appointments and practicality makes it an undoubtedly attractive proposition in the luxury SUV scene. Our only real reservation: It underperformed its EPA fuel economy estimates in our testing.

Overview
Hybrid luxury SUVs seem to come and go, but the Lexus RX hybrid has been going strong for 15 years. Today's RX 450h is a descendant of the original RX 400h, the first luxury hybrid vehicle when it debuted for the 2006 model year. The 2022 Lexus RX 450h is more powerful, refined and efficient than that original, and it's popular enough with Lexus customers to have outlasted several competitors that have vanished from the market.
Cost to DriveCost to drive estimates for the 2022 Lexus RX 450h 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $4.32 per gallon for premium unleaded in Virginia.

Avg. Midsize SUV
Given the RX hybrid's steadfast availability over the years, perhaps it comes as no surprise that few changes accompany the five-passenger midsize crossover SUV for the 2022 model year. Fresh exterior paint colors and a new interior hue make news, and foglights are now available as a stand-alone option for 2022. The limited-production RX 450h Black Line returns, but Lexus plans to build only 400.

Rated for you by America's best test team.
Performance
7.5/10
How does the RX 450h drive? The RX 450h feels good on the road, with easy effort steering and even quicker pickup than the non-hybrid models. And thanks to a well-tuned brake-by-wire system, the RX 450h is capable of surprisingly smooth stops, which can be a real weak point for hybrid vehicles. It's not only quicker than the non-hybrid RX 350, but it also delivers a smoother driving experience overall. That's a double win.
Our instrumented test numbers confirm the 450h is sufficiently quick, clocking 60 mph from a standing start in 7.3 seconds. But that does put it a few car lengths behind Volvo's potent hybrid SUVs. Suspension updates for the 2020 model year make the RX 450h feel a bit more agile and nicely counteract the added weight from the batteries and hybrid components.

Comfort
8.0/10
How comfortable is the RX 450h? Comfort has always been an RX hallmark, and the 450h largely continues to deliver on that promise. The front seats are wide and accommodating, but the cushions feel a bit flat. Our car also didn't have the nice four-way adjustable lumbar we experienced in other models. The second-row seats are pretty comfy too, and they have the ability to recline.
The suspension does a good job of taking the edge off rougher road surfaces and bumps, but the hybrid's added weight produces more residual motion after the 450h hits a bump, making for a floaty ride. The cabin is well insulated from traffic and wind noise as well as tire drone, and the silence of the hybrid powertrain only adds to the serenity. You'll never have to raise your voice to have a conversation.

Interior
8.0/10
How’s the interior? The interior feels luxurious and roomy and will accommodate the tallest of drivers. Visibility can be an issue in parking lot scenarios since the corners of the RX can be hard to judge if you don't have the optional 360-degree camera. It's not an issue if you do, though, and we'd recommend selecting that option.
We appreciate that there are quite a few clearly labeled buttons around the cabin. We also appreciate the improvements Lexus has made to its infotainment system, replacing the joystick-style controller with a touchpad and adding a touchscreen interface. The location of the touchscreen makes it a bit of a reach for anyone, but it's better than not having that functionality.

Technology
7.5/10
How’s the tech? Lexus' Mark Levinson stereos are always a high point, and the big infotainment screen is crisp and appealing. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration operates elegantly for the most part, though some of our Android users experienced issues with apps missing and sometimes had no functionality at all. Bluetooth works well, though, and charging options are available for the first two rows with a generous six USBs total.
The adaptive cruise system works well even in stop-and-go traffic. It's a bit conservative about following distance, but it doesn't panic when cars change lanes ahead of you. Most other systems are similarly strong, but the lane keeping assist was a little hyperactive and sometimes ping-ponged back and forth within the lane.

Storage
7.5/10
How’s the storage? The RX 450h's trunk offers a decent amount of storage — 16 cubic feet — even if it's not nearly as roomy as some other midsize SUV trunks by the numbers. And with 40/20/40-split folding rear seats, this luxury SUV has the flexibility to carry an assortment of goods. It's even rated to tow 3,500 pounds, which, though far from class-leading, is enough for a small trailer with a motorcycle or two.
Passengers get a fair amount of well-thought-out storage for personal items, even including a cupholder whose depth can be adjusted for taller mugs. There's also ample room for installing a car seat thanks to the large door openings and plenty of rear legroom.

Fuel Economy
6.0/10
How’s the fuel economy? The RX 450h gets an EPA-estimated 30 mpg combined (31 city/28 highway), which is pretty stellar. Our best tank in mixed driving came in at 25.7 mpg, while the run on our 115-mile evaluation loop yielded 25.1 mpg. That's better than most non-hybrid SUVs and about where the Volvo hybrids are rated. But it's pretty disappointing compared to expectations.
Value
7.5/10
Is the RX 450h a good value? Fit and finish on the RX 450h leaves very little to be desired, both inside and out. It's unlikely you'll come in contact with something other than leather or soft-touch plastics, demonstrating a level of attention to detail that many manufacturers lack. Our well-equipped test car came in just over $60K (MSRP starts around $47K), which is still a good value considering other luxury hybrid SUVs begin in the mid-$50Ks.
As with other RX models we tested, we weren't overly impressed by the fuel economy we observed in the 450h. But Lexus' warranties are good for the class, and roadside assistance is offered for four years with unlimited miles.

Wildcard
7.5/10
The RX has visual personality with its swoopy bold styling and oversized grille. But like a kitty cat in a tiger suit, the Lexus oversells its ferocity a bit. It's a competent and comfortable vehicle to be sure, but it's not one we'd seek out for thrills behind the wheel. Others in this segment are simply better dynamically on road or more capable off-road, which just leaves the RX sitting pretty in the middle of the road.
Which RX 450h does Edmunds recommend?
Unless you can't live without the sportier look and feel of the F Sport trim, we recommend the base RX 450h. It offers more variety in terms of wheel, paint and interior colors. Plus, you can upgrade this model with several option packages and individual extras to make it your own.

5/5 stars, My Atomic Silver Ride!
markh,
F SPORT Performance 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
I graduated from a 2017 RX 350 to the 2020 RX 450h Performance F Sport and love it! I love the feel and sound when I put it in Sport mode, but most of the time I keep it in Eco Mode for improved mileage. In Sport mode the gas pedal is soft, whereas in Eco mode it seems as the pedal is harder to push, saving fuel? The car is very similar to my 2017 inside, except the speedometer … area. There is no space under the back seats to stick my car wash rags or umbrella since the battery is in that area. (not a problem). The RX 450h has a smaller fuel tank then the RX 350 but I am getting around a 100 miles more between fill ups with the RX 450h. The only drawback is the RX 450h does require 93 octane which compared to an RX 350 that burns 87 octane there is only a slight cost savings on fuel. Currently I am getting exactly what the estimated mileage on the sticker says....
5/5 stars, Great Value and very comfortable!
Ian F,
F SPORT Performance 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
This is an incredibly well constructed and well composed SUV. It is exactly what you think it should be. There are no surprises. The CVT coupled with the Hybrid System provides adequate and smooth power. The ride is very comfortable. It’s heavy and well made yet fairly agile for a car this size. Lexus has done a very good job with this car. You would be hard pressed to find anything … negative about the vehicle. There are obviously certain aspects of the car that might not be ‘as nice’ as other competitors in the segment but on average this Car does everything very well. Highly recommend.
5/5 stars, Get f sport version if possible
Aries,
F SPORT Performance 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
I did very intensive test drive comparing the non f sport and f sport. If possible, please get f sport. The f sport suspension turned grandma's 450h into a car like SUV. The eco and normal mode completely isolate you from the northcal crappy road condition. On the other hand, sport+ mode controls body roll really well, and the performance is very similar as my 2016 IS f sport. Overall, … I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase!
5/5 stars, I've really enjoyed this car so far
Chris,
4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
The seemless shifting (what feels like no shifting) b/t gears is pretty cool, and now I feel I could never go back to a non-sports car w/ pronounced shifting.
The seats and leather are as comfortable as I've come to expect from Lexus.
I like the data screen that shows how the vehicle is being powered at any moment, be it the engine or the electric motors, or both, and when the batteries … are being charged.
In my last Lexus the manual shifting was accomplished via the gear stick, so the paddle shifters are a neat thing to me, though I don't use them much.
I thought I would use CarPlay more. I enjoy using Google Maps via CarPlay, but otherwise prefer using my device by bluetooth and utilizing the large 12.3" screen's split screen capabilities for the Lexus nav map & music or map & engine data, etc. Maybe CarPlay can also do split screen and I haven't figured it out yet.
I looked seriously at the Audi Q5. The seats felt uncomfortable, the leather wasn't as supple, and lacked a feeling of luxury throughout via the feel of the dash, the buttons, the trim, etc. BUT it was fun to hit the accelerator.

2022 Lexus RX 450h video
[MUSIC PLAYING] TRAVIS LANGNESS: If you've been in the market for a luxury crossover any time in the last 20 years, you're probably familiar with what's behind me. The Lexus RX. This is the new 2020 RX 350, the F sport in this particular case. It's got some new details. We're going to check out what this mid-cycle refresh is all about and see what's new. [MUSIC PLAYING] Since it's one of Lexus' top selling models, and one of the top selling luxury vehicles in America, they haven't really messed with the formula on this one. There are small changes to the front bumper and headlights, as well as the rear bumper, exhaust pipes, but the profile of this car stays the same. It was only redesigned four years ago, so they're not going to mess with success. And that's it on the outside. Sure, you get some new wheels, but if you see the 2019 and 2020 model next to each other in a parking lot, you might have a hard time telling them apart. That's because the side profile is pretty much the same. But everything up front looks a little bit sleeker, more grown up, which is strange to say about a luxury vehicle. I think it's a big improvement for this Lexus. Under the hood, you get the same choice of engines as you did last year. There's a 3.5 liter V6 that puts out about 295 horsepower, as well as another 3.5 liter V6 paired with two electric motors for the hybrid model. That puts out about 310 horsepower. Both of those engines get the same horsepower and fuel economy ratings as the previous model year. Under the car and the suspension bits things have changed a little bit more. The F-sport is actually now broken into two different packages. You can get the appearance package or the performance package. And the performance package includes an adaptive suspension sourced from the Lexus LC. They're big sporty grand coupe. On the safety front, there's new equipment too. All Lexus RX models get the Safety System Plus 2.0, which includes cool stuff like Cyclist Detection and Pedestrian Detection. Great when you add it to the already full list of safety features available on our models. Along with the tech updates and the things on the outside, there's some styling changes on the inside in the form of a couple of new interior colors like this red, as well as a couple of different options for paint. You also get Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A first for this car. As well as this 12.3 inch optional touchscreen that moves 5 and 1/2 inches closer to the driver, not just controlled by this frustrating to use touchpad. That's going to be a big difference and might just change the game for the RX. So should you buy a new 2020 Lexus RX? Well, depends on what you want out of your luxury crossover. This one's well rounded. It's got lots of great standard and optional equipment, but it's not the sportiest in the bunch, despite the F-sport name. Other vehicles like the Audi Q5 might be better at that. And if you're looking at the long version, the RX 350L, you might look at something with more space in the back like an Audi Q7 or an XC 90 from Volvo. Those are going to be less cramped in the third row. And if you're looking at hybrid models, we also recommend a vehicle like the Acura MDX Sport Hybrid or the XC 90 T8 hybrid. But if you want a well-rounded luxury crossover, take a look at the RX. We think it's worth your time. For all the details on the RX 350, the F-sport, the 3-row version, and all of the RX models, go to edmunds.com. Take a look at our First Looks.

2020 Lexus RX First Look
NOTE: This video is about the 2020 Lexus RX 450h, but since the 2022 Lexus RX 450h is part of the same generation, our earlier analysis still applies.
Halfway through its current life cycle, the Lexus RX is getting a mild refresh in the form of some styling, tech and equipment updates. The 2020 Lexus RX acquires new headlights, a new front and rear fascia, and the addition of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard equipment. The… standard RX 350 model all the way up to the Lexus RX 450h hybrid and its three-row variant, the RX 450hL, also receive suspension and chassis updates to improve ride quality and steering responsiveness. The optional 12.3-inch infotainment screen has also been moved closer to the driver and given touchscreen capability, a change that should make the system much easier to use.

Compare the Lexus RX 450h
Lexus RX 450h vs. Audi Q5
Yes, this is an apples to oranges comparison, but you'd be surprised how closely these two SUVs match up in terms of interior dimensions. The Lexus is best for drivers with long legs, but otherwise the Audi is nearly as accommodating. Also, the Audi is a plug-in hybrid, offering 23 miles of pure electric driving before reverting to gas-electric propulsion. However, when driven as a hybrid, the Q5's 26 mpg in combined driving can't match the RX's 30 mpg rating. The Audi costs more than the Lexus, too, though it's also more powerful.
Lexus RX 450h vs. Lincoln Corsair
Though it's a compact SUV, the Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring offers competitive interior room when compared to the Lexus RX 450h. It supplies more cargo volume behind its back seat too. While the Corsair's plug-in hybrid powertrain isn't as powerful as the RX 450h's gas-electric hybrid drivetrain, the Lincoln is more efficient after you've driven your 28 miles on pure electricity, averaging 33 mpg in combined driving compared to the Lexus's 30 mpg rating. The Corsair Grand Touring is a little more expensive than the base RX 450h, but it also comes with more standard equipment for the price.
Lexus RX 450h vs. Volvo XC60
Volvo has gone all in on electrification, and the XC60 Recharge is the company's five-passenger plug-in hybrid SUV. The Volvo can travel just 19 miles on nothing but electricity, but the Lexus can only putter around mall parking lots in its limited EV driving mode. Unfortunately for the Volvo, when driven as a hybrid, the XC60 Recharge musters no more than 25 mpg in combined driving, 5 mpg less than the Lexus. The Volvo is also significantly more expensive, but it carries more cargo behind the back seat.
