Lives up to high expectations

With 5,000 miles on the car now, I'm averaging about 28mpg. The lowest tank average occurred driving through the mountains on vacation with a loaded car at about 25 mpg and I have gotten around 30mpg on normal driving around town. I had very high expectations for this car when I chose to buy it and it has really beaten my expectations with pure comfort, exceptional ride quality and enough technical gadgetry to keep me occupied on long drives. It certainly is not a sports car, but for it's size, the handling is very good and the engine and CVT transmission is a perfect match. I also live in a very dark area and the adaptive headlights are bright and extremely helpful at night.
Good 1st Impression

I've owned an AWD 450H for about 2 months now Overall I'm impressed. Well built, supple ride, handles well, and quiet...all things you'd expect from a Lexus. So far I'm averaging 27.5 MPG which is actually fairly close to the EPA estimate. The math doesn't pay for the hybrid though. I recommend it if you want to be eco friendly, but if it is just a straight $ decision, purchase the 350.

Purchased this vehicle nine years ago hoping that it would be more luxurious and as reliable as my Lexus RX300 but unfortunately this vehicle has been a huge disappointment!! I have yet to achieve the claimed 30mpg even though I consistently use premium fuel. On average, I get about 23-25mpg city and 26-27mpg highway. I have already had to replace the rear struts and the hybrid traction battery on my vehicle even though I only have 133K miles!! The navigation and infotainment features have been outdated from day one and I consistently have issues with the bluetooth connection to my Android cellphone While the leather is soft, the interior still uses a lot of hard plastics and feel likes a cheap Toyota Camry interior. After test driving a Genesis GV80 recently, I would definitely consider buying a Genesis over a Lexus as my next vehicle. Lexus has definitely dropped the ball with this vehicle. You would be better off buying a Genesis GV80 over this vehicle!!

Very Good MPG on RX 450h AWD

We traded in the 2009 Chevy Traverse after 7500 miles and 3 times in shop, for a total of 7 days on warranty work. So far on the Lexus no problems and twice the MPG the Traverse got. Average 30.5 in the city 28 highway. The ride is comfortable and feels like its well built. I just hated to buy Japaneses but what can you do when a new vehicle breaks down 3 time in 10 month. After 10 month on Lexus I will write another review.
Great SUV for me
