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 The navigation and infotainment features have been outdated from day one and I consistently have issues with the bluetooth connection to my Android cellphone While the leather is soft, the interior still uses a lot of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 impressed with the RX450h. Excellent comfort and fun to drive. Takes a while to get familiar with all the capability but basic operation is easy and intuitive. Very good dealer service.

Disappointed mpg

I am very disappointed in our fuel economy. After 8500 miles we average 25.5 mpg. Suburban/rural Ohio mom running a 5 teen family. No special driving of any sort. Quite a bit different from the 29 combined mpg we were represented with. Not worth it.
